Few funerals which have taken place
in Jersey City for long time have at
tracted as much attention or excited as
much sympathy for the bereaved family

neat but unpretentious three-story frame
house, No. 221 Griffith street. The fuuera
was that of Mrs. Emily De Nora.
French music teacher, whose suuoen e,.
death. Friday last, is said by her family
and physician to be directly due to the
Stocker tragedy.
Mrs. De Mora was thirty five years old.
She was a refined, delicatelv organized
woman, who had been troubled for sew
eral years with heart disease, but VINO
otherwise enjoyed good health. She and
her husband resided with their only
child. boy of six years, with Mrs. DE
Morals parents, Prof. and Mrs. William
Granert, at the above address.
Among her pupils was the daughter OF
Mr.. William Henscheil of No. SO Zabriskle
street, whose residence is almost directly
opposite the house of Mrs. Tierney, in
which Arthur Stocker fired his first shot
at his taithless wife. Mrs. De Mora was
walking toward Summit avenue when
she heard the report and woman's
scream.
TERRIBLE SHOCK.
She stood still. spellbound with an
awful dread, saw .5tocker bend over and
kiss the woman ne had slain, and was
then almost overcome with terror When
he ran towards her, the death-Gealing
weapon still in his grasp. She thought
she had to do with a mad man who pro-
posed to make her his next victim, and
ran towards Summit avenue. Dashing
around the corner she entered the fancy
goods store of Ed ward Ahrens and begged
him to protect her from man who
wanted to kill her.
FELL IN A FAINT.

store into the rear room, and sank faint
ing upon the floor at Mrs. Ahrens' feet.
Mrs. Ahrens and her daughter applied re-
storatives, and after an hours work Mrs.
De Mora had recovered sufficiently to
walk home.
Although greatly Frustrated by the
shock, she bore herself so that none OF
the family suspected that she was more
than excited by the general talk of the
tragedy on the next block.
Mrs. De Morals family physician is DR..
Stephen V. w. Stout of No. 995 Summit
avenue. He has been attending young
William De Mora Tor several weeks. On
Friday morning Mrs. De Mora called on
Dr. Stout, and told him she had been
greatly upset by the Stocker murder.
She said that her father, Prof. Granert,
would be present when the physician
called to see her sen, as she felt too ner-
vous to endure any more excitement.
The physician soothed her, and promised
to call at nalf-past one O'Clock Friday
afternoon.
HER SUDDEN DEATH.
At the appointed hour the physician
called, expecting to attend the son. He
met grief-stricken family. who told him
that Mrs. De Mora had expired suddenly
few minutes before. He examined the
body, and said that death had been al
most instantaneous. and was caused by
an internal hemorrhage. In view of the
previous days excitement and Mrs. De
Morals predisposltion to heart trouble,
Dr. Stout said he had no doubt that the
Stocker murder was the indirect cause.
Pastor Meury of the Central Avenue
Lutheran Church officiated at the funeral.
The house was crowded with people at
tracted as much by Mrs. De Morals gentle
nature as her sudden demise. The inter
ment was in Weehawken Cemetery.
