WHO IS MRS. HARTMANN 4?
Her Sickness at the Sea Beach
Mystifes the Police.
Was with On cold Friend" Who
Promptly Deserted Her.

supt. Breckenridge, Of the Seney Hos
pital, Brooklyn. Is as much mystified
this morning as are the Brooklyn po-
lice at the queer conduct OF a woman
who calls herself Mrs, Emma Hartmann,
OF 1876 Walton street, Brooklyn. Supt.
Breckenridge said this morning.:
Last night we received a Coney
Island call for an ambulance. Surgeon
Butler hurried down the Boulevard,
where. by an arrangement with the
Coney Island people. we transfer
patients. He arrived at the transfer
point at about o'clock, and he found a
woman there who gave her name as
Mrs. Emma Hartmann, her age as
thirty-three years and her address as
135 Walton street. Brooklyn.
'She said she did not want to go in
the ambulance nor did she wish to go to
the hospital. but Surgeon Butler. being
responsible for her, brought her to the
hospital.
ION arrival here she refused to enter
the hospital. House Physician Spence
an examination and was allowed to 20.
She did appear to be very i'll. She
walked hurriedly away. That is all we
know about her"
by the Coney Island police, Is that she
called at the Sea Beach Hotel, West
Brighton. about p. NJ. yesterday with
a male escort. She was not feeling well
and was assigned a room.
About o'clock the guests In the hotel
were startled by cries from Mrs. Hart
mann's room. Clerk Drummond ran to
her assistance and found the man who
came to the hotel with her holding her
down on the bed. The woman was
screaming at the top of her voice and
struggling violently
DIR. Pierce was called, and II Is said
that he pronounced her to be In criti-
cal condition. He suggested that she be
removed to a city hospital at once.
The man who brought Mrs. Hartmann
to the hotel ran out of the room, telling
Clerk Drummond that he would get a
doctor. He was last seen taking an $50
train for Brooklyn.
MYs Hartmann said the man was an
old friend, and that she had known him

TROLLEY CAR ON FIRE.
Flames Broke Out as Il Was
Passing Brooklyn's City Hall
Caused q Stampede on the Part Of
tho Passengers.
And Then the Blaze Was Put Out
with . Pail OF Water.

Az trolley car No. S.423. Of the Cross
town line. passed by the Brooklyn City
Hail on Joralemon street this morning
the power-box caught fire and for a few
minutes there was considerable excite
ment.
The smoke and flame shot UP through
the cracks in the floor. and the passen-
gers made a hurried exit.
The conductor and motorman left the
car and ran across the street to pro-
cure a handful Of sand with which to
put out the blaze.
The fire gained rapidly, and smoke
was soon pouring out of all parts of
the car. and 1t looked as though there
would be work for the fire-engines until
a passer-by got a pailful of water,
which, he poured into the motor-box.
That put out the fire. and then the
car proceeded on Its way. with only
slight damage to the woodwork OF the
motor-box.
There appears to be no end to the
perils to which travellers In trolley cars
are exposed.

BICYCLISTS HAVE RIGHTS.
A Careless Driver Severely Pun
ished for Running Down a Wheel.

In the Gates Avenue Police Court,
Brooklyn, this morning, Justice Quigley
tried Otto Schwaunn, OF rs Halsey street,
on a charge Of riding down a bicyclist
named A. Wallace Smith, of 149 West
Ninety-sixth street. New York.
Smith was returning from a trip to
Coney Island, through Tompkins ave-
nue.. The road was wet and very diff
cult for bicycle. AS he passed Macon
street, he heard some one shout to him
to turn out. This he found impossible
on account OF the condition OF the
road.
The wagon behind was driven by
Schraunn. He was in a great hurry. and
struck out to pass Smith, according to
his own story. Witnesses said he DELHI
erately drove around the bicyclist and
turned short in front, 80 that the bicy-
Gle struck the front wheel OF the wagon.
Smith was thrown down and his foot
severely injured. The wheel was badly
damaged. Schraunns employer paid for
the repairs. The Court decided that
Schraunn had deliberately run down the
bicycle. and sentenced him to three
months In the penitentiary. with an al
tentative of $50 fine.

R0CKAWArs FARCE COMEDY.
Witnesses " Guyed" at Sheriff
Norton's Police Investigation.
Damaging Evidence Brought Out
Against Sergt. Walsh.


RoCKAwAY BEACH, Aug. 9.-The
investigation by Sheriff Norton of the
charges against the local police de-
partment appears SO far to be OF a
very farcical nature.
The proceedings yesterday were held
in County Treasurer Bessler's office at
HammeIs Station, which was crowded
with spectators, who were continually
"guying" the witnesses, laughing and
talking and frequently calling out to
the men on the stand: Have a drink.
Pop" and similar remarks.
Among the audience were Harry Hill,
Harry Gennett, Perry Byrnes and other
proprletors of well-known resorts along
the beach.
Four witnesses were examined. and
although their testimony put the police
in a bad light, it didn't seem to phase
Sheriff Norton a little bit.
Two Of the witnesses were newspaper
men, who testified to having played in
gamblinsIhouses on the beaeh; A..
Business Mems Protective Association.
testified that his committee had com
planned to Capt. Allen and sergt. Walsh
the beach, and that the Captain did
nothing to stop them until sheriff Nor
ton was appealed to. Then the games
were stopped.
The next witness was ex,Policeman
Sheppard. The farce-comedy began with
him. To all the questions asked by
Counsellor Mott. Of Downing. Mott &
Co., he made answers that were fire.
quentiy entirely irreverent.
Shappard swore that while he was a
policeman he was told by Sergt. Walsh
to keep an eye out for gambling and
disorderly houses. as there would be a
dollar in it,, for him. He told Walsh Of
several gambling houses that were being
run and the Sergeant's answer was, he
declared. Don't talk too much"
Sheppard lost his position by being
found in a disordery house. He claims
that he was there trying to get evidence
against the place.
The police will have a chance to de-
, fend themselves next Tuesday. DR..
Brandreth. of Rockaway. Is bearing tha
expense of the investigation. He asked
at the conclusion Of the evidence, thai
the Sheriff relieve the police from fur
Their duty. The Sheriff refused to dc
this until he had heard the other side
Of the story.
The evidence. SO far, seems to directly
implicate Sergt. Walsh. but Capt. Allen
will probably have to take the blame on
his own shoulders.
