Capt. John Goldman is the
Man Named by Miss
Alice Barrett.
He Denies the Statement and
Tells About His Dealings
With Her.
HE HEARD THE FATAL SHOT.
Letter Carrier Wolf Says He Was Standing at
the Office Door and Thought the Report
Was Made By a Flash Of Lighting.

Codmans cousin, whom Alice described
as the person from whom she received
so many valuable presents, and whom
she was supposed to have accompanied

man positively denies the story
AS the case stands now, there Is the
girls unsupported statements against
the positive denials of two persons, who's
character and standing entitle their con.
tradictions to more weight than the girls
assertions. 1t has been shown that she
was untruthful In some OF her state.
ments. She may have been untruthfu
In all OF them, so far as this case is con.
cerned.
The minute OF Alice Barrett's death
or, to be exact. the minute the pistol
shot which ended her life was fired, was
1850 o'clock.
The person who heard this shot was
George M. Wolff. letter carrier. Mr.
Wolff left the office of j. f.. Hollis, 35i
Kilby street, at 2:49 o'clock He ran
directly across the street TO No. 40, ano
up the flight of stairs leading to the
office Of Goldman & Goldman. It~was
raining heavily, and he wanted to Dor.
row an umbrella. He thought Miss
Barrett or Janitor Hamilton might have
spare one.
He reached the landing in front of the
door Of the Goldman office. He placed
his hand on the doorknob. He did not
attempt to push the door open, how.
ever, for at that instant the thought
came: ''Its Saturday afternoon. Miss
Barrett has gone home" He released
his hold on the doorknob, and stood in
the entry looking for the janitor. He
had been there but a moment when
there came the sharp report Of a revolver
At the time, Mr.. Wolff says, he thought
1t was lightning bolt accompanying
n thunder-clap. Looking back how.
ever. he says he is now certain that the
report he heard was that of pistol.
In view Of his statement, IL may be
assumed that he was, unconsciously, ths
cause Of the girls death. Assuming that
for some good reason, she was burning
the books when he touched the knob
perfectly consistent theory can be con.
structed by imagining her situation. She
had gone too far to conceal her act. Dis.
covery threatened her. She was des.
perate, and, In her fright, seized the
revolver. and ended her life in an i'm.
pulse of fear and despair
Whether the boks were tampered Is
a question yet to be fully answered
A fear Of such condition was engen-
dered by the evident desire OF some.
body to destroy the books, and this fear
is supported by the fact that she IL
known to have speculated in one bucket
shop, and to have lost $3.50. Did she
patronize other places with similar re.
suits?

TRIAL NEXT THURSDAY.
WILLIAM ADDISON WAS BROUGHT
BEFORE THE COURT TODAY.
Eccentric Actions Of the Man Who Used Up
Two Police Officers.

In the District Court this morning before
Judge Shove the case OF William Addison
was called up. Addison was brought In
and this appearance was the same as Of
yesterday morning. He had positively re-
fused medical attention yesterday and his
face was still covered with blood which he
had refused to wash off.
When asked II he was ready for trial he
replied that he was not. He said he
wanted time to communicate with his son
so he could get bail and have his cases
taken right to the Supreme Court. This
arrangement did not suit Judge Shove,
who informed tho prisoner that he must
first have trial In this court.
After some talk the prisoner agreed to
have the case tried next Thursday. The
case against him for making violent
assault on the body OF Officer Francis
Lennon with pistol will come up for
trial on the same day.
One simple drunk was fined the usual
~ and costs.
