BURIED IN POTTER's FIELD.
Lisa Lauttner Finds Resting Place
Among the FOrsaken.

The remains of Miss Lisa Lauttner, who
died Thursday last from the effects of in
haling Illuminating gas at 400 X street
northwest, were last evening entered in
the potters field.
After the discovery Friday morning that
Miss Lauttner was dead the body was re-
moved to the morgue, where it was kept
until late yesterday, it being supposed by
the authorities that some friend or relative
would come forward and see that the de-
ceased was given decent Christian burial
Miss Lauttner arrived in Washington
from Germany about six weeks ago and at
that time was, it is said, fairly well sup
piled with money. 1t was her intention to
go to Chicago Friday last and, desiring to
retain her funds, she secured employment
with MIR. LeckeTt, proprietor of a restau-
rant, at the place where she met her death
Her money she deposited with a relative
who, she said, lived i'll Georgetown.
Lisa's month of service expired Tuesday
of last week but Mrs. Leckert informed
her that as she intended to go to Chicago
so soon, it was unnecessary to rent a room
and she remained as guest of the family
The Arrangement made by Lisa with her
relative was that the latter would call to
see her Thursday last and escort her to
Chicago the day following. The relative
did not appear at the appointed time, and
the girl became very Respondent. That
night she retired at her usual hour and as
she had not come out of her room at 8
Friday morning, Mrs. Leckert sent her lit
tie daughter Elsie to call her. The child
went as directed, but soon returned and in
formed her mother that Lisa would not an
swer her. Mrs. Leckert then went to the
room and found the woman dead, with an
intense odor of illuminating gas issuing
from the room,

REQUIRED TO ANSWER.
walter Ford Identified as Criminal
In Various Lines


Walter Ford, colored, aged nineteen
years, brother of Irwin Ford, who was
executed couple of years ago for the
murder of Elsie Kreglo, was arrested last
evening by Officer Knupfer of the ninth
precinct on the charge of housebreaking
Ford was today identified by little Zetta
Perry of 1902 NJ street northeast as the
man who attempted to assault her in
piece Of woods near the Eastern branch
Thursday last. The particulars of this
crime have already been printed in The
Star.
But for Fords actions last evening it is
hardly probable that he would have been
taken into custody at that time He was
walking along the BladenSburg road about
two miles from the city at $50 o'clock
when he was overtaken by officer Knupfer
As soon as Ford noticed the officer he
started to run; and the policeman pursued
and captured him. Ford was taken to the
ninth precinct station and locked up
After reaching the station, it is said
FORD confessed that he broke into the
house of Henry Newman, the Bladens-
burg road late Thursday night, but was
frightened off before he could secure any
thing. The prisoner is also understood to
nave admitted that Saturday night he
broke into the house of Mrs Walsh, at the
intersection of the Bladensburg and Queens
Chapel roads, and stole a large carving
knife e chicken and some other eatabIes
At the station house, Mrs. Walsh identified
the knife as her property.
After securing the above evidence against
Ford little Zetta Perry was sent for, and
upon being confronted with the prisoner
at once identified him as the man who
had tried to assault her. Ford has a very
repulsive countenance, with big bulging
eyes, and is easily remembered by any one
who has ever seen him.
Ford will. ii IS expected, be arraigned in
the Police Court tomorrow on three charges
