6 PASSENGERS HELD,
Excitement on the Steamship
Vera at Quarantine,
Immigrant Lucchis Sudden and
Mysterious Illness.
Sent to Hoffman Island with His
Party for Observation.

Considerable excitement was caused
among the l64 cabin and 21S steerage pas
senGers on the North German Lloyd
steamship Werra when on arriving at
Quarantine, from Genoa, Monday,
the Health Officer sprang on board and
began making close examination of
nearly all the passengers.
As this is the usual custom when an
ocean vessel arrives, the captain and
crew thought nothing Of 1t. 1t was diff
ferent, however. when six of the steer
nge passengers-two men, one woman
and three children-were ordered to stand
aside for a more careful examination.
Whatever the health officers saw In
their appearance, certain 1t is that the
six passengers referred to were taken
off the vessel and sent down the bay to
Hoffman Island.
There they wi. be carefully watched,
and IL nothing of a dangerous illness
manifests itself, they will be allowed
to land in a few days.

opinion that all the passengers were
In excellent health, and. in fact, until

Just when the Quarantine officers
climbed on board, and when the pas
sengers and crew were crowding over

peared.
One OF the steerage passengers was
named Egziacca LucchL He had, ac-
| core ng to DR.. Dursch, been one OF the
healthest on board during the voyage.
When, however, the health officers
| approached him, the man became sick
| to his stomach, and the resulting symp-
| toms were such that the officers were
| considerably startled. When they felt
the mans pulse they were by no means

| The woman. the other man referred to,
and three children were all OF one party,
and while no alarming symptoms were

There was ut first considerable dis
cussion as to whether or not the Werra

be detained. This. of course, produced

BENT ON SELF-DESTRUCTION
Gallagher Tried to Hang Himself
in Bellevue Hospital.

Ferrigle Gallagher, thirty-two years
old, California miner. attempted to
take his life by hanging himself at .
o'clock this morning in the prison ward
at Bellevue Hospital. 1t was the third
attempt which he had made within the
last two weeks.
Last night he got out of his cot, and,
fastening a sheet to the steam-pipes,
which ran through his room under the
ceiling, made a moose at the other end.
He was discovered by the nurse in
charge OF the ward and prevented from
accomplishing his purpose This morn
ing he was quiet and very uncommuni-
cative.
Gallagher was brought to the hospital
by Policeman Jacob Caprorano, OF the
steamboat squad, from the steamship
Ethiopia. on her arrival, Monday, as a
prisoner.
During the passage, Gallagher twice
attempted to kill himself, once by jump-

WHO SHOT AMY MARSHAL?
An Amateur sleuth Volunteers to
Clear Up the Mystery.

An anonymous Vidocq is writing let
tiers to Capt. Price to help him fathom
the mystery of the shooting of Amanda
Mershel, alias Amy Marshall, alias Flor
ence Edwards, In Schick's hotel. 3ls
Seventh avenue. last Sunday night.
Meanwhile the girl Is lying In the New
York Hospital. apparently recovering
| from the bullet -wound in her lungs,
while Wallace Ladue. her companion OF
that night. Is held in the Jefferson Mar
ket Prison,
Capt. Price will not reveal this cor
respondence. but II seems to impress
him.
The girl still adheres to the story that
she was shot by Ladue. He, In turn
swears that he had left the room and
was at the foot OF the stairs when he
heard the shot. The hotel clerk found
him at that point when he ran to the
stairs at the report of the pistol. and II
seemed nearly incredible that Ladue
could have gotten there in so short n
time.
II Ladue did not shoot her, she must
have shot herself or been shot by some
one who entered the room just as Ladue
went out. and then disappeared in a
deeply mysterious fashion.
Looking for the motive of third per-
son, the police find that Ferdinand
Glazier was her former lover and is
said to have threatened her life. This
man declares he has an alibi and would
not have shot the girl anyhow.
