Dissatisfaction with the reforms
recently granted TO the Porto Ricans

Arthur Duestrow, the millionaire
who murdered his wife and child,
goes to the gallows on the 10th. For
once the goddess can take the bandage
from her eyes for after a long and
hard fight against the biggest cembi-
nation of brains and wealth this city
has ever beheld, she will see just ret
ribution meted out to one Of the most
pittiless Of murders.
STORY OF THE CRIME.
Arthur Duestrow, reputed mil
lionaire and young man of spend
thrift habits, lived in beautiful
home with his wife and 3-year-old son
in South Compton avenue. On the
evening of February 10, 1894, he shot
and instantly killed his son, and fa-
tally wounded his wife, at their home.
Mrs. Duestrow died FIVE days later, on
February Is, having been unconscious
during the whole tine after she re-
ceived the fatal bullets in her head.
Duestrow was crazy drunk when he
committed the murder. He had in
tended taking his wife and child out
sleigh riding in the evening. Arriv-
ing at the house, Duestrow sprang
out of the sleigh, leaving it in charge
of the driver, and entered the house.
Mrs Duestrow was sitting upstairs in
her room sewing, and the little boy,
Louis, was playing on the floor beside
her.
Katie Hahn. a domestic, was also In
the room when Duestrow entered.
The girl met him on the stairway, and
in reply to simple question, he began
cursing and abusina her, driving her
back upstairs into his wife's room.
Arriving there, he turned upon his
wise, slapped her, and turning upon
Katie Hahn, attempted to strike her.
Mrs. Duestrow interfered and this
action increased Duestrow's anger
and, turning, he rained blows upon
her, finally picking up the little boy !.
and going out of the room. Mrs.
Duestrow followed him into the hall,
imploring him to give the child back
to her. With an outh he dropped the
boy and drawing pistol fired two
shots into her face. The woman sank
unconscious to the floor, and the now
thoroughly crazed husband picked up
the child, and pinning its body to
the wall with one hand. fired two
shots, one into its head and the other
into it's breast The child was killed
instantly.
Dropping the dead body Of his child,
Duestrow rushed out of the house,
and made his way through the falling
snow to the police station, where he
told his story, at the same time claim
ing that he had attempted to shoot |
himself.
NO MONEY COULD SAVE HIM.
All the influences that his wealth
could set in motion were brought into
play IN save the murderer. Soon
after Incarceration he began to play
the insanity dodge and has kept it up
steadily ever since. The records
showing the delays in the trial
ire interesting, as they show

The Metropolitan Street Railway Company

any obstacles to the Metropolitan people. The
first intimation that they would consider such
a matter came yesterday through a statement
issued by Alexander +. Orr. president OF the
Rapid Transit Commission.
The Rapid Transit Board said Mr.. Orr
"will not act upon the decision of the Appellate
Division make application to the Court until
full opportunity shall have been given to all
parties who may wish to become bidders TO
ascertain what can probably be done about Sc
curity and to make other suggestions to the
Board. The Board must also complete Its IN
Curies among those. like surety companies. VINO
are especially fitted to give information on the
subject Of guarantees such as the court mas
suggested. Inquiries are being made OF the
Board by those proposing to bid ana the neiu
OF probable competitors is broadening. Among
others the parties In control Of the Metropolitan

up The subject. They are examining the ques-
ton Of security. and their engineers are est-
mating on the cost OF construction.
