When the fire was discovered IL was

A pedestrian raised a cry OF warn

appeared at the upper windows or the
hotel in their night attire. Below them
roared the fire, with gradually increas-
ing fury, and clouds OF smoke made
uncertain the extent OF the flames. One
of the guests on the second floor swung
himself out on the ledge of the win

VERDICT STANDS.
Verdict of Appellate Court In Case
Of Burgess VS.. Arhweilcr.
Plaintiff Awarded $500 for Iujuries
CAUSED by Fall Of Staging.

The verdict of $500 given by jury to
Walter F. Burgess in his suit against
Sebastian Arhweiler must stand, ac-
cording to the rescript filed by the APP
pellate Court today. A new trial is
denied the defendant and the case is
remitted to the common pleas division
Of the supreme court with instructions
to enter judgment on the verdict.
The language of the rescrlpt is as fol-
lows: "The evidence shows that the
staging, which fell and threw the plain
tiff TO the floor and caused the injury
complained OF, was imperfectly adapted
to the use to which it was put. There
is conflicting testimony as To whether
the part which broke was of sound ma
terial or not. 1t is clear that the
stringer or cross piece on which two
planks rested was not OF sufficient
strength TO sustain them, and the load
necessarily placed upon them, when
the weight of the long planks was
brought few feet towards the middle
of the room and away from the end OF
the stringers. The plaintiff moved one
of the long planks In this manner. In
order to facilitate his work. 1t appears
that one OF the workmen, as he was
doing this. warned him that IL would
render the structure unsafe. The plain
tiff says that he was told to make this
change by the defendant and. relying
upon the judgment of the defendant,
disregarded the warning of the work.
man. The defendant denies that he
gave such directions. We think the
staging should have been constructed
sufficiently strong to support the weight
of workmen when the planks were
placed In any position upon the string
er which the progress of the work
would naturally suggest to the work
men, and we think the plaintiff, who
was not a carpenter, might well rely
upon the assurance OF the defendant
that the structure was safe. AS there
is a conflict of testimony on the matter
of fact. we cannot say that the jury
erred In finding for the plaintiff

THORN'S CRIME.


The killing OF William Guldensuppe.
a bath rubber. and the subsequent mu-
tilation and distribution OF the dismem-
bered body by Martin Thorn, a barber,
xfid Augusta Mack. midwife. were so
cunningly planned and accomplished
that the crime stands alone as the most
fiendish murder in the criminal history
OF this or any other section or The
United States.
On Saturday afternoon, June 26 OF
last year, two youthful swimmers found
n peculiar bundle floating in the East
river, and they brought IL ashore at
~the 11th street dock. A policeman
opened the package. which was heavy
and watersoaked, and found that II
contained the upper portion OF man
headless body, with the arms folded
across the breast, from which an irreg-
ular piece OF skin and flesh had been
cut with the evident purpose of re-
moving some mark by which the part
might be identified. The wrapping
around the gruesome contents was
made up of some red colored table oil
cloth. cheese cloth and brown paper
and tied with stout cords.
The news of the find was flashed all
over this and the adjoining cities. and
IL was said that from the appearance
OF the flesh that the body TO which the
piece belonged had not been dead more
than As hours.
