men last night for Frankfort The
Mt. Vernon dispatch says the com

last week was to be uniformed and
equipped after reaching Frankfort.
The dispatch adds that the men did
not know how long they would be
required to stay in Frankfort.
Adiutant General Collier states
that he had no knowledge that the
men were coming. Many of the visi
tors are members OF the state guards.
After the men had returned from
their breakfast Mr.. Finley, ex-secre-
tary of state, addressed them from
the steps of the state house. He said

.HELDtFOR GIRLS MURDER
A Coronsr's Jury Holds the Four
- Accused Men Guilty.
The Verdict Simply Says That They Are
Responsible For the Death
of Jennie Bosschieter.

Paterson. n. J. (SpeciaD.-The jury
summoned by Coroner Eroom or
Ridcewood to investigate the death OF
Jennie Bosscheiter, the murdered mill
girl, me: at Alyea's icehouse. near
which the girls body was found, on
the Bergen side Of the Passaic River
Coroner vroom told the members OF
the Jury that he had consulted the
Prosecutors Of both Bergen and Pas
sai9 CountieI in regard to the case.
and they had informed him that II
would be the duty of the jury to de-
termine where the death OF Jennie
Bosscheiter had actually occurred.

and Sculthorp. the cabman who drove
the unfortunate girl and the four men

Death-on the night of the murder,
appeared before the jury and gave
testimony.
Chief Graul gave sufficient details
of what happened on the night on
which the girl was killed to show that
she undoubtedly died while in the cab
on the Passaic County side of the
river, and that her body had afterward
been taken across the river and de-
posted on the Bergen County side.
where it was found. The Chief then
told Mt length the story Of the crime.
Sculthorp followed the Chief and
told practically the same story. The
questions put to him were intended
to establish the locality where the
dea tn occurred, so as to ascertain
whether the case came within the jur.
isdiction of the Bergen County au.
thorities or that Of the Passaic County
officials. 49, .' t.. ..L-
AS in the case Of the Chief evi
dence, the .cabman's story seemed to
prove beyond a doubt that he girl
died in Passaic County.
At the conclusion of Scultholp's tes
timony the jury retired. After con.
ference the Jury decided that Jennie
Bosschelter met her death in Passaic
County. and that the Bergen County
authorities had. no Jurisdiction in the
case. The Passaic County authorities,
therefore. have now full charge of the
investigation. &,rt2,4-, - -.
The verdict is, in part as follows:
1--WE, the Jurors, do say upon our
oath that Jennie Bosscheiter came to
her death according 70 the evidence
produced on the 18th day: of October
in the County Of Passaic, and that
Walter McAllister, George, J.. Kerr,
Andrew Campbell and William Death
are responsible for the same"
After giving their; verdict the 2jur.
ors were dlsmissed:,by Coroner Yrpon1.
Sculthorp, the cabman, seems to
have been warned by the police here
not to talk about the case with any
one not in authority. He seems TO be
especially afraid of being seen in
conversation with reporters. Sculthorp
has now another cab in place Of the
vehicle which he drove, on the night of
the murder. -. .r,.5

the building.
Immense masses Of masonry, pieces
of cornice, great beams, window cas-
ings and an indescribable mass or
wreckage Of every description tumbled
suddenly into the street IN front OF
the building all at once.
The wreckage was thrown across the
windows of the building in which the
Irving National Bank is on the north
east corner of the streets. The offices
Of the Irving Bank and Of Mecklem
Brothers, bankers and brokers, were
nearly wrecked.
CAPTAIN NIcClusky. of the Detective
bureau, was appealed to to protect
the funds of the bank. he being told
that they were in the vault, the door
of which was supposed to be unlocked.
When the Captain and his men went
in however, they found about $4,000
scattered in confusion over counters
and floors. This was hastily thrown
into the vault and the door locked.
Down in Mccklcm Brothers offices,
in the basement, when the fire broke
out, 100000 in money lay upon the
counters. A boy named Heckonberry
was stationed at the door while this
was gathered together for putting IN
the vault
The first explosion filled the place
with sulphurous smoke that nearly
asphyxiated everybody. The second
explosion blew in the windows and
cut the two Mecklems seriously. The
boy Heckenberry found the two girl
clerks lying in a heap, tainted away.
He carried them out to a place Of
safety.
A barber shop in the same building
was demolished, the BARRIERS and two
customers that were being shaved
were driven to the street. The other
tenants Of the building, a number of
lawyers and brokers, all escared in
jury.
The explosion completely demolished
windows along Greenwich street on
both sides for three blocks in both
directions. The street was covered
with fine bits of glass.
The explosion was supposedly
caused by naphtha. In the great con-
fusion that existed it was impossible
to find any person who could give the
slightest detail regarding the work
that was being done at the time the
calamity occurred and the possible
cause other than the escape of naphtha
gas.
The whole lower part of the city felt
the shock and streets for blocks lead
ing to the scene were strewn with
glass from windows and doors, whose
empty frames told Of the force Of the
