MRS. WARMERS AL|BL.
Woman Accused ofThrowing
Potash Was at Funeral
In This City.

Mrs Ettie Warner, of No. SO West 105th
street, who was arrested on Saturday
night, charged with being the woman who
threw potash in the face of Mrs. Cronin
wife of DR.. John ]. Cronin, at No. 43S
West Fifty-first street, at IL O'Clock on
| Thursday night last, was held in 5000
bail in the West Side Police Court, New
York, yesterday morning. The detectives
of the West Forty-seventh street station
said that they wanted to ge more evidence
agains her. The bond was furnished by
Charles Phzer, a chemist, of No. 10, West
Fdftieht street. Mrs. Warner then went
home with her husband and brother-in-
law, who accompanied her to court. Both
in court and at her home Mrs. Warner
declined to say anything, save that she
would be able to prove an alibi when the
case came up, and that she would have
ben able to yesterday morning with seven
witnesses if the case had not been put off
until tomorrow.
When the case came up before Magis-
trate Mayo Glanvil G. Mcintyre, Mrs.
Warmers counsel, asked for an immediate
hearing. He said that there was no case
against his client so far as the police had
shown, and apparently not the slightest
witnesses in court who would testify that
Mrs Warner could not have committed
the assault, as she was in Jersey City
with her husband on Thursday evening
attending the funeral of friend. This
friend, the lawyer said, was Saidee b.
Yynche, of No. 81 Park street, this city.
and if necessary he could bring all the
people who attended the funeral to court
l. ~. 60 III o1in
Detective Dale asked for an adjourn
ment because his case was not all ready.
There were more witnesses he had not
had time to see, he said, and it would
take several days to get them all together.
The Magistrate put the case over until
Tuesday.
H. J. Lynche, Jr., of Mo. 81 Park street,
Jersey City, said last night that Mrs.
Warner and her husband were at his home
attending the funeral of his sister from
7:9O o'clock until $50 o'clock Thursday
night The advertised hour of the funeral
service was $50 O'Clock P. NJ. He was
quite sure that Mr.. and Mrs. Warner went
away at $50. This would hardly give Mrs.
Warner time to get to the Lasette house
by ten o'clock, the time that Mrs Lasette
says she called.
Apparently the case against Mrs. War
ner rests entirely on the identifcations of
Mrs Lasette, Mrs. Cronin's mother; John
Lasette, her brother, and John White, the
janitor of the house at No. 411 West
Thirtieth street, where the Lasettes re-
side These witnesses only identify Mrs
Warner as the woman who came to the
rhi~tfeth street house at ten O'Clock on
Thursday night and inquired where Mrs.
Cronin could be found. Furthermore, the
are not of the face but OF
the voice, the Lasettes merely insisting
that Mrs. Warner is the woman because
they are sure that hers is the voice of
the heavily yelled woman who called at
their house on the night of the assault.
An. unexplained part of the case is the
connection between Mrs. Warner and Mrs.
The Lasettes refuse to admit anything
but slight acquaitance an dthey will not
say how that started.
TIE police say they know nothing about
it, The woman did not become acquaint-
ed in the dressmaking establishment
where Mrs Cronin worked before her
marriage, because the women who keeps
the place yesterday said that she never
employed Mrs. Warner.
Mrs Lasette said that she had never
heard that her daughter, Mrs. Cronin, and
Mrs Warner had had any trouble; in fact
she didn't know that they knew one an
other The arrest was not made at her
solicitation, she said, but on information
given by Mrs Cronin, who is now in the
hospital.
