About four thousand people attended the

however, was the withdrawal Of the entry

high jumper. B. j. Wefers, of Georgetown
University. who won golden honors for
America in the recent international con-
tests, was looked on to beat Lon Meyerss
record Of 511 seconds for fifty yards. The
Handicapped dealt heavily with Wefers and
penalized him one yard. In the final, how
ever, Wefers ran a beautiful race and won
handily by yard from Kreissling, of this
city, who had four yards start on him, IN
the excellent time of 3-5 seconds, which
is only one-tenth of second behind the
record. George Orton, the University Of

Sudden Death of Murderer Caesar I'm
His Sing Sing Cell.

SING SING, n. Y, Feb. 1.-william Cae-
sar, the condemned murderer, died suddenly
to-day in his cell at the State prison. He
was sentenced by Recorder Goff, on June
%, 1885, and the day of his execution was
set for July % of the same year. He was
convicted of having murdered young col
ored woman, Mary Martin, with whom he
had lived, and whose terribly mutilated
body was found in an Enclosure adjoining
the Greenwich Savings Bank, at Sixth ave-
nue. and Waverly place, New York. The
murder and mutilation caused great excite
ment and IT was some time before the muir
derer was captured. His conviction followed,
and the case was taken TO the Court of APP
peals. where il has since been pending.
Murderer Caesar was thirty-two years old.
He was born in the British West Indies, and
during his Incarceration here has shown
himself to possess what was believed to be
a healthy constitution. Recently, however,
he has grown very stout, and DR.. Invins.
who made an examination OF the body, pro-
nounced the opinion that fatty degenera-
tion of the heart was the cause of death.
Warden Sage, of Sing Sing prison, stated
tonight that thorough Investigation into
Caesars death would be begun tomorrow.
He did not believe that the man had COM
mitted suicide. for all along Caesar has ex-
pressed great hopes of escaping the chair.
