PARENTS SEARCHED IN VAIN FOR HIM.

Tor Says Boy Fears Use Of Knife 10 Cure

New York, Sept 2S.-You do not know
fear as this boy does-not a mere phan-
tasy. here one moment, gone the next,
but a steady. ever-present dread. He
is just sixteen, Joseph Michael MuF-
tagh, and for years this fear has been
before him.
Young Murtagh lives at No. 493 Lex
ington avenue. Until last year he was
a student in the College of the CITY of
New York. and even there, with all the
other lads around, the fear pursued him.
Perhaps much OF 1t is due to his condi-
tion, ror he is a hyper-sensttive boy al
ways moody and sad, and afflicted with
curvature of the spine.
He LEFT his college, telling his father
he could not go back. This was last
Spring. lie stayed at home, his peo-
ple always watching him. They cou't1
not learn what allied him. He would not
tell.
Il shah kill myself some day"-this
determinedly.
They redoubled their care. Once when
the depression weighed heavily upon
him ne stole from the house and was
gone for hours His family was wild
with apprehension. He returned pale
and exhausted. They took good care
W
should not leave the house.
Tuesday the fit came upon him
again.
Il will send for DR.. Rausch," said his
father. He is the family physician.
and lives at Ninety-fifth street and
Madison avenue.
II beg of you-don't!" the boy cried.
The father insisted. The lad grew so
uneasy that they feared he would run
away again. So they hid his clothes.
He awaited his chance and crept up
stairs In a closet he found hat, an
overcoat and a pair OF trousers laid
away until Winter. He dressed in these,
stole down stairs ana was gone pefore
his parents knew AZ.
The police were notified. an alarm
was sent out. Hours passed and the
family looked everywhere for the boy.
The doctor came and gravely listened.
II think he fears the knife" he haz-
arded. His fear Is that we VIII operate
upon his deformed spine.
There was no trace of the boy when
night fell The searchers returned one
by one without news.
HE has killed himself" said they.
The door bell rang. They went wear
fly TO see who IL was, and there on the
step was the boy. he was shaking
with nervous dread.
II am SO afraid" he cried. Let me
come in"
He was put TO bed and the doctor
came again, tehing him that he should
not fear. Then n trained nurse was
summoned. The boy, weak and trem-
bling. clung to their hands.
"I am so frightened" he whispered.
They could not find where ne had
been.
"It was at friends" he said, and
that was all he would tell. And he shud-
dered.
His, indeed, was fear.

Death Of Her First Husband.
CHILDREN TESTIFIED AGAINST HER.
She IS Now Mrs. Albert Lsmsr and The Fro
cssdngs We're Brought Before Judge Barnard.

ford Coddington, who died in 1892. leav-
ing "a large estate and four children in

Mrs. Coddington surprised her rela-
tiyes by marrying James w. Fellows, a
member OF the St. Nicholas club and a
well known Wall street operator. She
had summoned 10 a police court Cliff
ford Goodwin and his mother, Mrs. Ma
ulda r.. Goodwin, her first husband S
relatives, and charged them with kid
mapping Gladys. After several hearings
the child was returned 10 her mother.
In the proceeding before the sheriff s
Jury witnesses, including Lulu, Mrs.
Coddington's eldest daughter. testified
To seeing Mrs. Coddngton under the i'm
fiuence of liquor. The jury failed 10
agree.
Mrs. Coddington, or Mrs. Fellows as
she had then become, had a residence At
3i4 West Eighty eighth street adjoip
ing Riverside Drive, and a cottage in
Long Branch.
Mr.. Fellows died in January 1897 and

davit that his mother for a number Of
years past has been incapacitated from
IAperforming the duty assigned TO her by

no longer responsible for her actions.
Judge Barnard granted the applica-
tion and appointed Andrew c. Codding-
ton, OF the Hotel st. George. Brooklyn.

Coddington is a nephew of Mrs. Lar
ner's first husband. The decree was filed

made that Mrs. Larner on September

capped from her home. and that diligent
search has since failed to reveal her
Whereabouts.

ner said that this was untrue. He also
denied that she is mentally unbalanced
or incl able of caring for herself and
her children.
