on the charge of insanity a stylishly
dressed. intelligent looking woman. who
said she was Mrs. Emma j. Wittcher,
was this morning committed by Justice
Wclde In the Tombs Police Court for ex-
animation She said she lived at l3i
East Thrty-fourth street, but no one
at that place seems to know anything
about her Tho police are even inclined
to think that the name given Is false.
Bridge Policeman George Lauterburn
was OF duty at the New York entrance
TO the bridge at 40 o'clock yesterday
afternoon when he saw several hundred
people crOwding about the woman. She
W. 8 making no disturbance, but kept her
eyes fixed on the sky and occasionally
raised her hands in prayer.
What attracted the officer most wes
expensive red hat and long fur-ined
dolman. Diamonds sparkled In her ears
and II diamond starshaped pin adorned
her breast. The woman paid no atten-
ton at first to the officers questions.
Finally she turned and said abruptly:
This crowd excites ana worries me.
Fake them away" Then after giving her
name, and saying that she lived at 134
East Thirty,,,ffourth street, she added.
They tried to smother me with "A pillow"
In answer to other questions she said
she had been first married when only
seventeen years old but that her hus-
band died long ago. She then married
again. and as she spoke she showed the
officer "A silver and gold ring on her
fingers.
~ suppose however," she added.
they have cut up my second husband
into little bits by this time"
When taken to the Oak street station
SHE refused to answer all questions, so
officer Adam Klein was detailed to
guard her all night. She refused to lie
down. but taking of. her dolman, hat
and jewelry she dashed them on the
floor. Only once Gid she speak during
the night, and that was to tell in IL
rambling sort of way about the troubles
of her husband. At one time she claimed
officer Klein as her own.
As the city OF New York Inns no patrol
wagon service. the officer making the az
rest was obliged to lead her through
the streets to the station and from the
station to the police court this morning.
While awaiting the appearance OF Jus
tice Welde in court this morning She
slept little. Afterwards she answered
the questions put to her in a rational
manner. She experienced no surprise
when committed.

AFTERWARDS.

The wholesale arrests OF unfortunate
women on Saturday and yesterday made
the police courts busy and brought the
question OF the suppression Of the social
evil before the public mind in difficult and
distressing light The arrangement of
nearly fifty female prisoners in one court
was a painful spectacle and 1t became a
puzzle in law. as well as in humanity,
what disposition TO make OF the cases
Judge Koch, who presided at jefferson
Market. dealt rs lenen.ly az possible with
the women, but 1t was A sad scene for
justice and spectators after all.
Most OF the prisoners were taken out
of fats, where they had found homes
Some who were known to the police were
arrested on the streets. Nearly all were
pennlless and knew not where to go for
food or a nights rest.
Ten destitute and homeless young
women waited on Dr. Parkhurst and so
licitcd help or advice. The Doctor has
no means OF aiding them. and he does
not seem to approve the Wholesale work
OF arrests. But what are the police to
do? If they are 10 he held accountable
for tho existence of vic" and immortality
In their precincts; II the fact that Il dis
orderly house is found within it's limits
is to be accepted as PROOF that they
are In league and collision with crime,
they surely can do nothing but break
up such places and arrest oil the in
mates.
The question what is to he done with
the women and what is to bc the fate
of the unfortunates when driven into the
streets may well claim the serious at
tention of every humane Individual
The prisoners may be sent to the island
for n month or so. but what Is to be
their fate when they are released Are
they to be left 20 starve. or to seek rest
in n suicides grave?
Some OF the philanthroplsts who are
seeking 20 cleanse the city and purify
the police ought certainly to direct
heir attention to the question of the
fate OF the unfortunntcs who are to b."
left homeless and pcnniicsS by the op-
GRAFTON. without n roof to shelter them
or food to keep them from starvation.

MAY BE KAIRER'S MURDERER.
Philadelphia Police Arrest a Negro
on Suspicion.
ny Associated Press. }

PHILADELPHIA, Dec 1l.-George w.
Harris, OF Goa Barclay street, negro
with a bad reputation. was arrested last
night by the Third District Police OF this
city on suspicion of being the murderer
Of William Kairer. the Camden baker,
who was shot last week by a burglar at
his home.
The police suspected Harris as soon as
description of the murderer was made
known by the pawnbroker who accepted
Mr.. kairer's watch in pawn. Harris
disappeared the day after the crime was
committed. and fails to account for his
absence.
Harry Hausan. who was arrested last
night by the Camden police on suspicion
of knowing something OF the murder
fails to tally in many particulars with
the description of the murderer.
