Brown, OF No. 91S Twelfth Street north
west, who was supposed TO have issued the
certificate. DR.. Brown does not know any
thing of such person as Sadie Lewis and
has no record of the death of a person of
that name. The signature of James H.
Winslow is also attached to the certificate
and this is also forged.
This certificate was exhibited in a num-
Der of places and aid solicited by the
holder thereof in obtaining a sufficient
sum to bury the child. A small amount
was asked in every case and was gener-
orally obtained, as the evidence submit
ted by the alleged grief-stricken parent
was of the most convincing character. He
walked into saloon on Pennsylvania
Avenue yesterday evening and presented
the certificate to the bartender with the
regular cut and dried story of cod wealth
er, all the money going for food. sickness
and death. and number Of other un-
pleasant things, and asked for money to
be used to bury his child.
The bartender was shrewd, and after
examining the certificate told the man he
guessed he would keep it. The parent
with the dead child thereupon made off
as fast as he could The bart nder
brought the certificate to the Health Of
flee shortly afterward, where the forgery
was discovered. The matter was p aced
in the hands of the police and u diligent
search will be made for the offender.

wealthy man, is a prisoner at police
headquarters. charged with shooting Thos
J. Major. colored belIboy. yesterday aft
ernoon. at the door of the Hotel st. Lo-
REM "A family hotel in East Seventy-sec-
ond Street near Lexington Avenue. The
bellboy is also a prisoner, for Mr.. SchOen-
field speaks Of making a counter charge
of assault against him. Major is only
slightly injured. He was lucky. for the
bullet was of 3S-calibre. and Schoenfield
was quick shot
Schoenfield had been staying at the ho-
tel for several weeks. He came from the
West, bringing his wife here for medical
treatment He had made several COM
plants to the hotel management about
small articles being taken from his apart
ments. His story of the affair as given
through his counsel, Joseph E. Moss, of
Howe & Hummel, was that the bellboy was
constantly lettering near his rooms.
He says that last Monday night he heard
someone tampering with the lock of his
door. He opened the door and saw Major
retreatng down the corridor.
What are you doing there?" he asked.
Major made an impertinent reply
Schoenfield cuffed him over the ears and
went back to his apartment
Schoenfield was leaving the hotel at 5:
O'Clock yesterday afternoon. He says that
he noticed that the half dozen bell boys
ana elevator attendants in the lobby eyed
him in a vindictlve manned. He went out
at the main entrance. He saw Major
standing on the steps Of the hotel. The
bell boy said:
Now, I've got you, and I'm going to do
you
According to Schoeniield's story, the boy
struck him on the forehead. He shows
slight cut over the right eye as proof of
that assertion. Then he saw Major put
his hand into his pocket-the pocket where
men are supposed TO carry pistols.
Mr.. Schoenfield drew his revolver and
fired. The boy fell against the door, hold
ing his side.
There was an uproar in that hotel. The
bell boys and attendants rushed out The
patrons hurried down the stairs. Several
of the employees dragged Major into the
house. An examination showed that the
ball had passed over the stomach, tearing
up the skin, and inflicting a painful but
not dangerous, flesh wound. Major walked
to the Presbyterian Hospital, where his
wounds were dressed. He was then ar
rested and taken to the East Sixty-seventh
Street police station.
Schoenfield returned to the hotel and
calmly awaited arrest
Major is twenty-five years of age and un-
married. He lives at No. 232 East Seven
tieth Street.
