A well-known critic in speaking of the
Murphy Barry fight at Ell Paso, says:
In matching Johnny Murphy with Barry
the Chicaguan is asked to fight a man who
gave George Dixon forty rounds of the
toughest grueling. October %, 1890, at
Providence. r. l., Murphy fought Dixon for
two hours andforty minutes. In the fortieth
round, and while the bantams were In a
miX-up in the center of the ring, both in
action, one of Murphy's seconds threw a
towel in the air. Referee Coakley parted
the men ON the signal and declared Dixon
the victor. Murphy to this day claims
that he was betrayed by the second who
threw up the towel, and since that time has
offered to re-match himself.
Barry has nothing but victories to his
credit. The bantam began his ring career
February l. 1892, winning from Billy Will
ington in six rounds. A year later. at Roby,
Ind, he knocked out Pete Shea in four hot
rounds.

A MYSTERIOUS MURDER.
The Finding OF Dead Body Reveals a
Probable Crime.

The Finding OF "a Dead Body Reveals
Probable Crime.
MAYS LANDING, n. J., March 2s.-
What appears TO have been brutal mur-
der was brought to light by the finding Of
the body of Mrs. John Roch in a strip Of
woods near Fstelville, a small town two
miles from this place A man familiarly
known as Spiky Jones, while on his way
60 work, found that tree had been felled
across the path which he usually follows.
Beneath the tree the earth had been heap
ed IN a peculiar manner. Jones curiosity
was aroused, and he commenced digging
I'm the pile of dirt. After removing few
inches Of the soil ho came across the naked
foot Of woman. Without waiting TO in
vostigato further, Jones hurried to this
place and informed Sheriff johnson of
what he had found.
The sheriff summoned Justice Iznrd and
the county clerk, and with Jones acting
as thoir guide they made their way 20 tho
spot where the body had been unearthod.
After removing few inches of earth they
oame upon the corpse of woman. Tho
body was clad only in a nightdress and
wrapped in two old saoks. A handker-
chief was wrapped tightly around the
neck, and she had every appearance OF
having been strangled to death.
An Investigation was made, and IL was
found that the dead woman was Mrs.
John Rooh, the wife OF a man who had
formerly lived in a little cottage about 200
feet from where the body was buried.
Suspicion pointed 20 her husband as the
probable murderer, and a search was made
for him, but 1t was ascortainod that he
had left for Philadelphia in company with
his little girl.
II is tho belief of Justice lard and
Sheriff johnson that the woman was
buried whle she was living. She was
last seen alive on Sunday. Tho family

Life With a Revolver.
HER IDENTITY IS A MYSTERY.

Nothing on Her Person That Would Give
a Hint OF Who She Was or Where sIAe
Came From-Found by District Mes
senger Boy.
NEW YORK, March 2s.-A handsome
woman, showing evidence of refinement
In both dress and feature, shot and killed
herself in Central park within 100 yards
Of the police Ratehouse. located at the en-
trance at Seventy street and Eighth
avenue
She was found seated on a bench in tho
west pathway north OF Seventy. second.
street, where a huge rock screened her po-
sition from the west drive. She had done
her work both deliberately and thoroughly.
The brown kid gloves had been removed
from the right hand and transferred to
the left, which also graspod chain purse,
in which was a single dime. She had not
paused to remove either her veil or tho
pair of Hpectacos she wore, but had fired
the shot through the right temple with an
utter disregard of possible interferonce
with her design on the part Of those ar
ticles.
She was seated easily on the bench. the
head slightly thrown back, and the pistol,
which had slipped from her fingers, lay
on the boards at her side.
Her waist of brown silk. her skirt of
blue serge and her cloak were all of the
best material and scrupulously neat. The
slight figure was surmounted by sweet
face, crowned with masses Of soft brown
hair.
There was no mark on the clothing to
identify her, with the exception of the
4. l..
chief. IT was evident that she wished to
provide against discovery. About 100
feet from the body, in the middle Of the
path, lay card bearing the following
name and address Morris Marx, dealer in
fine boots and Shoes 244 Division street E"
Discovered by a District Messenger boy.
The police, however, attach no impor-
tanoe TO this card, believing its presence
In the path merely a coincidence not TO be
in any way connected with the young
woman who SO quietly sought death.
The first news Of the suicide was
brought TO the police gatehouse by Harry
Robinson a district messenger boy, who
had been on his way Co deliver package
at Eighty-first street and Madison avenue.
He saw tho woman on the bench, and her
whito face scared him. He ran to the
gatohouse and found Policeman Mccarthy
| inside eating his supper.
Mccarthy followed the lad to the spot
| instantly and finding the body still warm
whistled for aid. Sergeant Hodgins, who
was tho first to respond! tolophoned to the
/ Presbyterian hospital for an ambulance
but it was too late. On his arrival the
surgeon said life had been extinct for at
least half an hour. The body was then
taken TO the arsenal and later removed to
tho morgue. Although so CLOSE TO the spot
where the unknown woman fired the shot,
Policeman Mccarthy says no hoard moth
| ing He declares that he passed that very
bench only few minutes before the wom-
an was found, and that then there was no
body in tho vicinity.
There is no Morris Marx living at PA
