HIS SKULL WAS FRACTURED.
But 1t Was Not Known Until
After Densmore Was Dead.
Whether He Fell or Was Assaulted
Has Not Been Ascertained.

An air of mystery surrounds the
death of Robert Densmore, seventy -tw D
years old. of 81 Franklin avenue, Brook
lyn, who died in the homeopathic Hos
pital yesterday.
The details thus far brought to light
disclose the fact that an ambulance
surgeon who attended the old man
failed to discover that he had been
seriously injured, and that 1t was not
until a post-mortem examination was
made upon the body that the doctors
discovered that his skull had been frac-
tured.
Densmore boarded at the above ad-
dress with Mrs. O'Mara. She was
called to the front door last Saturday
night, and found the old man standing
there with a stranger. who said he had

orrhage. and this diagnosis was con-
firmed by the other doctors.
Mr.. Densmore died yesterday after
noon. and later the doctors discovered
that his skull was fractured. The police
were notified and an investigation was
begun.
Mrs. O'Mara says that some time after
her boarder came home last Saturday
night, an unknown man called and
asked for Mrs. Densmore. He told her

AFTER THE $4,000.
Staten Island Rapid Transit Com
pnny Desires n settlement.

The interjection OF a delicate legal
question into the fight over tho Staten
Island ferry franchise has more closely
defined the issue between the Rapid
Transit Company and Howard Carroll.
the purchaser of the lease.
At IL o'clock General Superintendent
Cannon. accompanied by his counsel, Mr..
Boardman. of the firm Of Tracy, Board
man & Platt. called upon Comptroller
Fitch and demanded that the sum Of
3175. 900 be paid to The Staten Island Rapid
Transit Company.
Comptroller Fitch explained that the
money could not be paid just now, as
he had no right to demand 1t from the
new purchaser, Howard Carroll, until
the lease was altered. The original
lease, he explained, was made out from
June /, 1894, but as the sale took place
in the last week of September such u
lease could not be given.
He assured Mr.. Cannon that all dill
gence was being employed, and request
ed him not to inconvenience the public
by withdrawing the boats.
Mr.. Cannon protested that he was do
ing everything for the public. and while
he did not say II in so many words, he
gave the Comptroller the impression that
the boat service would be continued
until the lease iE executed.
