DIR. WRITTEN ARRESTED.

Charged With Murder in tho Second
Degree-AlIeged to Have Been I'm
Phcated in the Maggie Schloss
Tragedy.
Another phase of the Maggie Schloss
murder tragedy was developed last evening
shortly after 10 O'Clock, when accompanied
by Detective Cowles, Dr.. George E. Whit
ten of 1857 Chapel street was brought into
police headquarters on warrant charging
him with murder In the second degree.
Written was, after the usual questions
had been propounded to him, released on
bonds of $1,000, furnished by Mrs. Dora
Isaacs, widow of A. A. Isaaos, of 104
Asylum street.
Neither City Attorney Fox nor Detective
Cowles would give any information as to
Dr.Whitten's connection with the case nor
could any information be obtained from
the police. 1t would appear certain, how
ever, that the city attorney has In his pos
session some evidence which tends to in
eliminate DR.. Written in the case or he
would never have issued the warrant on
which he was arrested.
Whitten will appear In the city court
this morning charged with murder in the
second degree. The case when It is called
in the city court this morning will prob
ably be continued until September 2, to
which date the cases against Lee and Cash
have been continued.
DR.. Whitten has always borne a spotless
reputation in this city and it will moi be-
generally believed that he had any oonnec.
zion with the tragedy which resulted in the
death of Maggie Sohloss.

self in an easy graceful way. The climax
and strong parts are not lugged in by the
ears, but every one fits its particular place
like a new glove. To be sure, the theme
is conventional. For many years life In
the metropolis has been the basis for dra-
matte productions. But 1t furnishes good
material, and nearly all of these pieces are
successful.
In scenic effects there is scarcely a diff

heaving bosom of the river. If any differ
ence exists, "Lost in New York" can GER
tainly claim the advantage, for never WAS
a more realistic scene put upon the opera
house stage than that shown in the third
act last night. In the front WAS Wards

of the sea known as East river sparkled
and danced in the moonlight. Away off In
the background il shown Randall's Island

gliding up to the landing, discharges it's
passengers and steams away. A chit of a

Crowds on the shore cry out in alarm, and
the curtain goes down on a very exciting
scene.
In the next act, Gramercy park, the
home of the late Samuel j. Tilden, Is cor
