A Peculiar Accident May End Sc
riously for Geo. Wyatt.
An accident peculiar in Its nature and
productive of Unusual pain happened yes
terday, Geo. Wyatt, a colored quarryman,
being the victim. Being without work for
some time he went rock fishing near the
Chain bridge. Not meeting with success,
he pulled In bis line and wandered through
the woods way back on the deserted hills
for cherries. He located a tree, and to as
sist him in gathering in the laden branch
es he attached a sturgeon hook. which he
had among his tackle, to pole by means
of copper WIRE and carried 1t up the tree
with him. Resting the whole across sew
eral limbs he mounted higher and then
came down. In the descent he put his
ing it to plough through the flesh of the
foot way beyond the beard. A loud cry
was made, but no assistance came. Every
movement the man made sent the most ex-
circulating pains through his body. In the
meantime the weight of the pole attached
pulled and hauled the flesh. Calls, long
continued and agonizing, for help went
from the man, he says, from II until 5
o'clock before he was heard. When coun-
tryman had his attention finally attracted
the victim was half hanging. from the tree
the hook with the attached pole still i'm
bedded in the flesh Of the foot and a mass
Of bloody vegetation beneath. The man
himself was exhausted almost to the un-
conscious point.
To convey him to town after detachins
thespole was a duty the resouer took upon
himself readily. When Georgetown was
reached a transfer took place. and the jour-
ney to the Emergency Hospital was made
in the patrol wagon. Much skilled atten-
lockjaw. Wyatt is about twenty years of
age.

Mr. Lewis H Douglass was called upon

had anything to say about the status. He
was non committal as usual.
representative of oEe of the heirs of the
estate said yesterday that there was no
doubt of the accuracy of the statement as to
the wills made by The Times.
There is, however, some difference of
opinion as to whether the will must be filed
within twenty days a after the decease OF the
testator. or not Mr. Lewis Douglass ques-
toned that statement heretofore made by
the representative referred TO.
1t appears that the custom is that the
will shall be filed promptly, so that all
those Interested may have access to it.
Some of the heirs would like to know now
what promptly means.
This much however. can be taken for
granted-that there will be publication
made in the premises shortly which will
be interesting to the public.
The details of the will in the possession
ofMrs. Douglass have already been published
in The Times.

VAST SUE MARTINS SKULL
Her Headless Trunk Found in "Hell's
Kitchen" Year Ago.
Wrapped in sack Which Her Mother Says
Her Child Wore-A Skull Has
Been Disc 4vered

New York, March 9.-When chiid's
skull was found in a cellar of 459 West
Fcrty-sixth street on Wednesday night a
theory was advanced that it was the skull
of Susie Martin, whose headless trunk was
found year ago in the cellar Of the tene
ment known as Hell's Kitchen.
This belief was strengthened by the fact
that the skull was wrapped up in Il brown
sack which answered to the description
of the sack worn by Susie Martin when
last seen alive. and which had been miss
ing ever since.
When Deputy Coroner Donlin officially
examined the skull, however, he decided
that it had been that OF a person about
nineteen years old, and as Susie Martin
was much younger, the belief gained ground
that ii was not Susie's skull
Two reporters, accompanied by Susie
Martins mother, and her eleven year-old
brother, called at the West Forty seventh
street station this evening and asked to
see the cloak.
When it was shown her Mrs. Martin be-
came greatly excited, and both she and her
son were emphatic in saying that it was
the sack Susie had worn when last seen
alive by them.
As the skull is at the morgue, they were
unable TO follow up their investigation.
