ERROR AT BELLEVUE IN GIVING DEAD MAN
AN INSANE PATIENTS NAME DISCOV-
Erred BY UNDERTAKEN

Through an made in tie exchange of en-
trance cards in Bellevue Hospital yesterday Mrs.
Emma Crapp. of No. 2.177 Fifth-ave. was led
to believe that her husband, Frederick forty
nine years old. was dead. The woman tele-
graphed to all her relatives, and did not learn
that a mistake had been made until the under
taker she had hired called remove the body.
Crapp was removed from his home Friday
night where he had become suddenly insane. to
the prison ward of Bellevue Hospital. Before
the policemen could subdue the man he man
aged to break a straitjacket and several pieces
Of furniture. Soon after his admittance TO the
hospital another patient, Frederick Hoffman,
twenty-nine years old, of No 100 First-st.. who
had attempted suicide by taking carbolic acid.
was admitted. Hoffman died fourteen minutes
after his admission.
In the mean time Crapp had become violent
that he disturbed the other patients in the ward
and II was decided TO remove him to the insane
pavilion. About the time attendants arrived
with stretcher for Crapp men came with the
dead box to take Hoffman's body to the morgue
In a few minutes everything was in readiness
for the taking Of Hoffman's body TO the morgue
and OF Crapp 10 the insane pavilion. In the
exchange OF entrance cards that bearing the
name OF Crapp sent TO the morgue authori-
ties, and word sent TO Mrs. Crapp that her
husband had died. The woman began to make

body. The undertaken she employed TO go 10

HOME RULE TO BE THE ISSUE
BITTER FIGHT IN THE NINTH REGI-
MENT OVER THE ELECTION OF
LIEUTENANT-COLONE

4 lively election struggle has developed IN the 9th
Regiment for the Heutenant-colonelcy, the officers
being divided into TWO factions over the question
of choosing officer from the regiment or going
outside for a candidate.
Captain NewboId Morris. the staff of General
McCosiry Butt. on which he is inspector OF the
First Brigade, is the outsider spoken of for the
second place in the 9Th. Captain Morris served in
the Spanish-Amercan War with the 18th Regiment
and has an excellent record, which includes
vice with the regiment in Cuba Yesterday 1t was
learned that the friends of Captain Washington
WuIcocks of Company c. alarmed at the prom
inence given 10 the name Of Captain Morris. had
decided to make home rule an issue in the COM
ing campaign for neutenant-colonel, and few
nights ago held secret meeting or those VINO
favor Captain WilIcocks for that office. Captain
WilIcocks is senior captain OF the regiment. The
caucus of the Willcocks men was held with great
secrecy one of the oldest captains in the rest-
Inent opened the meeting by declaring that home
rule must become the slogan Of those who were
opposed 10 outsiders. The gentleman whose name

While there is a strong sentiment for Captain

years ago, when number of officers united In

his participation in what was called questionable

Colonel William F. Morris has thus far taken no

Gus heirs az law Of George F. Gilman. the wealthy
tea merchant, appeared before Judge Nobbs. in the

the remainder the full blood heirs and those of
half blood relationship.
Mr. Mccormick asked the court 10 recognize the
claims OF the half blood heirs TO a share in the
estate with the others. and when this denied,
contended that Mr. Gilman was resident of New
York. thus bringing the estate beyond Connecticut
jurisdiction Judge Nobbs decided that the Con-
necticut courts had jurisdiction all the estate
except the real lying outside Connecticut.
and Mr.. Mccormick announced that ne would con-
tend this assumption
Counsel for the full blood heirs moved for the
appointment of custodian for the estate with
power TO act, alleging that such appointment was
necessary for the prooer preservation of the prop
erty. The motion was denied by the court, and
counsel further moved that custodian should be
appointed pending the appointment Of the admin
istrator but this also denied.
Formal motion was then made by counsel on
each side for an administrator. Messrs. Gowdy and
Bus Bush m Edwin L sGGfSs SGrfSn Of Of
court set down Monday March is. as day for
to prepare a statement of the property OF Mr.. GIL
man. exclusive of real estate outside Of Connecti-
cut for reference in fixing the bond OF the admin
istrator.

the decedent lived in New-York. The value Of the
this State IS said 70 consist OF 10000 in
realty and $4,000 in personally.
The burial of Mr.. Gilman's body took place on
Thursday Greenwood Cemetery.
New-York tribune., 1901-03-10

William c. Maybury Is now serving his third
term as Mayor OF Detroit Mich.
In 1889 he was elected TO Congress from Mich
igan. elected in 1854 serving during the 18th
Congress the Judiciary Committee. and in
the 10Th on the Ways and Means Committee.
His leisure is devoted to the affairs of St.
Peters Episcopal Church. TO attentions to the
aged. the sick and the poor.
In the light of many such public endorsements
as the above from Mayor May bury, il is easy
10 see why Paine's celery compound is displacing
all other remedies.
1t has been truthfully said that the men and
women who use and recommend Paines celery
compound are not the class OF people who take
doubtful remedies and patent medicines. Paine's
celery compound Is not a patent medicine, IL is
