police believe that be fell overheard and
was drowned, but there are some sus-
picious facts in the case.
Kearney was "a very careful man, and
had been acting as watchman for n long
time. There was no reason why he
should have fallen overheard by accident,
and the theory of suicide Is secuted by
his relatives. There Is also no reason to
believe that he ran away, for the man $
domestic life was very pleasant
There Is n very bad gang that hangs
about the docks along the river, and
Kearney was known TO always carry
money with him. Besides this. he had a
gold watch which he was always proud
OF displaying and this alone might have
been temptation to any of the hard citi-
Zens in the vicinity.
Kearney was all alone on the dock dur
ing the lonely hours of the night, and it
would have been very easy for him to
have been attacked suddenly, overpow-
cred, robbed and thrown into the river.
The police are working on the case, but

Ing the mystery.

BROOKLYN NEWS.
HIS SUICIDE PROVED A HOAX.
Edward Ryan Fools a Policeman
and Hospital Doctors.
Feigned Death After Saying He Had
Shot Himself.

AS Policeman Carroll. OF the Atlantic
avenue station, was patrolling his post
on Fulton street. near Patchen avenue,
brooklyn, shortly after midnight this
morning he heard two shots in quick
succession.
Hurriedly rapplng for assistance, he
ran to the corner where n vacant lot
Is located. In a hollow OF the lot the
policeman saw the form of n man lying
on the ground. He had the appearance
or a man dying in extreme agony.
Between his gasps for breath the pros
trate man told the policeman that he
was Edward Ryan, aged thirty-five, of
5O4 Twelfth street, Brooklyn. He said
he had just shot himself twice in the
mouth with the revolver which lay by
his side.
Ryan said he was tired Of life and
wanted to die. He said he had wife
and four children who were starving to
death, as he had been unable to provide
them with food for several days
DIR. Terhune, of Reid avenue and De-
catur street, was. hastily called, but
neither he nor the surgeon of the am
bulance, which was summoned, could
find any wound. The pistol. which Ryan
said he had purchased for the express
purpose OF killing himself was an old
Fashioned pin-fire revolver. of French
make. one of the two bullets fired was
found lodged In the barrel.
The ambulance took Ryan to St Mary s
Hospital, where, when Drs. Reynolds
and Mooney began to look for his
wounds, ne gasped and said. scarcely
above whisper:
II am dying. Say good-by to my
Ryan closed his eyes and appeared to
pass quietly away. The doctors no
ticed. however, that there were no visi-
BILE signs of blood on the mans face or
clothes. They forced his mouth open
and could find no signs of bullet wounds
a careful examination revealed the
fact that his heart was beating in a
rapid, healthy condition. The doctors
rolled the man out of bed. hustled him
around for minute or two and then
stood him on his feet.
Ryan then opened his eyes. smiled
and said:
I'm not dead am II"
The doctors called for a policeman, and
without further questioning sent the
man to the station-house. where he was
duct. while the doctors, who had been
summoned from bed to attend him.
are wondering IL 1t was a practical
joke.
Ryan was arraigned in Gates Avenue
Police Court this morning. and pleaded
guilty to violating a city ordinance by
firing pistol in the street. He was
fined $40, with the alternative Of spend
ing ten days in jail.
