LIVED so YEARS as A MAN.
Murray T. Hall Wore Masculine
Attire and Was q Registered
Voter Of New York

NEW YORK, J~an.19.-MurrayH Hall,
an employment agent, with Offices in
Sixth avenue for thirty years; enrolled
Democratic voter and member Of
Senator Bernard Martins Iroquois
Club; husband Of Mrs Caroline l..
Hall, who died in July, 1898; profess
sional bondsman and ~frequenter Of
liquor stores, cigar stores and other
resorts Of men in the neighborhood Of
Jefferson Market Court died from
cancer Of the left breast in 'hisn
rooms late on Wednesday night.
Later II was made known that the
body in the cofin was that Of woman.
Hall was sixty years old For thirty
years she had kept up the marquerade
in mems clothes along Sixth venue.
How long before that the masquerade
began and where, and what reason
impelled the woman TO cast aside her
sex as far as she could and assume the
garments and the manners Of men, II
was impossible to learn last night.
The discovery was not made until
after death, and it came with as much
Of a shock TO Miss Minnie Hall, an
adopted daughter who kept house for
mr. Hall, as it did TO the trades
men, politicians and acquaintance in
The neighborhood.
Hall had all the manners Of a man,
and this was what made it 50 difficult
for his neighbors to realize the truth
last night Hall spit like a man. Hall
drank like a man and swore like a
man. Halls voice was slightly nasal,
though not deep, and Halls walk did
not suggest a woman.

1t pleases him to have a woman

1t pleases him to have a womanls

It pleases him to have a woman's

1t pleases a worthy man who tries 70
be good to have a sweet woman lead

woman can sink a man to the depths
Of misery or help him TO the zenith OF
happiness. Her frown can depreSs
