one daughter. The latter was to have

and was behind in his rent. His in
ability to give his daughter fine we'd
ding also weighed heavily upon his
mind. He complained of the heat yes
terday. but gave no indication OF a
determination to kill himself.

Raphael, of 1853 East One Hundred and

him to be a bundle of white clothing
lying in the areaway. They discovered

dead In a p.ol Of blood. The head was
horribly mangled and both wrists were
cut to the bone. The policeman reused

as that Of Mr.. Goldman. The policeman
then hurried to the third floor and
aroused the family. 1t was the first in
timation they had.
Tho Goldman family did not know at
what time he left his bed. The kitchen
hoor was covered with bloody foot
prints, showing that after tho man
severed the arteries in his wrists he
walked about some time.

by was q caseknife which Goldman had
used. From the kitchen through five
or six rooms in which the family slept
was a trail Of blood that led to front
window. On the sill were bloody finger
prints. It looked as though he found
the process Of bleeding to death was too
slow and painful. and. after cutting
himself. he walked through the rooms
where his family were asleep and made
sure of death by throwing himself from
the window. Judging from the amount
of blood on the floors. Mr.. Goldman
must have been nearly dead before he
made the fatal leap.
1t was said by neighbors that Gold
man had been out of employment some
time, and quarrels with his wife were

family were of almost nightly occur

money In an emulation OF the pranks
Of the long list of foolish people who
have proven that anybody falling from
the bridge will make q hole in the
water instead Of falling upward. against
the laws of gravitation.
But he was unselfish in his desire for
fame, and was willing to have his wife
take all the risk and all the glory. he to
participate to the extent Of driving a
coach across the bridge roadway. from
which she was to emerge and make the
leap. An outfit for the female jumper
was provided, and consisted Of q suit of
black neshings.
Early this morning tho couple ap-
peared at a rendezvous and met several
newspaper men. the little girl being in

porters started to notify the bridge po-
lice of the attempt. only to learn that
they were already well posted or the

at the Presbyterian Hospital say, to
appear in Yorkville Police Court this
afternoon to answer for his misdemean-
or. There is as yet no explanation for
Gutman's act.
Miss Allen, who was detained at the

night AS a witness. was brought before
Magistrate Kudlich in Yorkville Court
this morning by a policeman from
Capt. Strauss station. who asked the
Magistrate to remand the woman as a

told her to go home. get good sleep
and return to court again at o'clock
Miss Allen made but a brief statement
to the Magistrate and was not asked to
70 into details concerning the circum-
stances that led up to the shooting. She
said she had only known Gutman a
short time. and had no idea why he
should try to take his own life.
An Evening World" reporter talked
with Miss Bertha Leonard. who formed
one of the party OF four. who dined at
the Central Park Casino last night pre-
vious to the shooting. Miss Leonard,
who Is a handsome brunette and pos
sessed Of an overflow Of good spirits,
was more communicative than Miss
Allen.
"Gutman," she said. met Miss Allen
about a week ago. He is the jolliest
kind of a fellow and good spender.
He always had plenty Of money. so Miss
Allen tells me. and nothing was too good
for the girls he went out with. ! have
only known him since last night when
/ was introduced by Miss Allen and
asl I'd to make one of the party az din

gentleman, whom he introduced as Mr.

his name all wrong. They call him
Waxelbaum. We had a good dinner
and did not drink anything except
champagne, either. Gutman was appai-

himself unless 1t was that he was infat-
