lawyers. Tyler, Pratt Il Hubbard.
Mrs. Webster, since the time when she
figured i'll the Webster trials, has lived
in various uptown tenements, and has
raised disturbances several times. which
have necessitated the presence of the
police.
The boy, Burton Webster. has been in
her possession, and, it is alleged by the
Gerry agents, has not been as carefully
cared for as he might have been.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Webster
took the child out for an airing In Madi-
son Square Park. After carving him
up and down the walks for a while she
went to William Rosevear, OF 25S Seventh
avenue. a waiter, who was sitting on n
benvn.

Mrs Webster was represented by Law
Pratt and Mrs. Webster asked that the
child be returned to its mother. but Jus

the Justice. -" is whether It Is best to lock
you up for cruelty to children"
The child was committed to the Asso-
@ciation for B~efriending Children and
Lawyer Pratt said that he was a friend
Of DR.. Parkhurst, and that he appeared
for Evelyn Granville Webster at the
Doctors request.
II received a note from DR.. Parkhurst
this morning, and compiled with his
wishes. that Is all. .
No; am not counsel for the Park:

ment In public that he had received

ANOTHER RAILWAY MYSTERY.
Strange Woman Weeps at the Scene
Of the Murder of 1887.

RAILWAY. N. j., May 11.-A strange.
well-dressed woman. in mourning, came
here Yesterday, engaged a team and
directed the driver to take hdr to the
spot where the unknown girl was MUIR
dered seven years ago.
The driver drove the woman to the
spot, and as the woman was shown
the place she evinced considerable emo
ton.
From her conversation 1t was inferred
that she had never been in Railway
before, but knew who the murdered girl
was. An attempt on the part of the
driver to CLEAN something from the wo-
man as to her identity proved futile.
She went away as mysteriously as
she came.
