DISGUISED As A Man
mr." Hall Plays The Part
For Years.
His" Sex Diacovsredin Last lllnss. His
Wife Watches With Devotion Beside
the Dead.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York. Sept. 30.-The strange story
man was revealed by the death today of
Miss Carolina Hall, Of Boston, cabin
passenger on the steamship Citta Di
Terino, which arrived from Naples and
other Mediterranean ports on Sunday.
On the passenger list Miss Hall appear
ed as 'Mr. Chas. Window Hail." and
with "him" on the ship was Mrs. Hall.
Not until the former was stricken
with mortal illness did the ships
surgeons made the discovery that the
supposed man was woman. Before
that no one suspected that "Mr. Hall"
was not man. and "he" and his wife
were received as such. The woman adj
dressed her companion as MRS. Hall,
and spoke of her as my wife,
The woman was 80 years of age, and is
said to have been the only daughter Of
a Colonel Hall, we'll to do retired army
officer living In Boston. She was Of
slender build, medium height and with a
short crop of light hair cut pompad0ur.
She dressed we'll and carried herself with
the air of man. Her voice and ges-
lures were masculine.
The vessel locked at this port Sunday
and the young woman died at 1888 a. m.
today. The other woman telegraphed to
Capt. Hall in Boston.
All day in the saloon of the Terino,
Mrs. Hall remained near the dead. She
was there tonight waiting for her rela-
tives to come for the body. She is an
Italian of about 30 years of age and
rather good looking She cannot speak
English and did not seem willing to tell
all of the strange story. 1t was learned
however, that she had known Mr." Hall
for some years and was we'll aware that
her companion was woman. This even
ing telegram from Albert j. Hall was
received aboard the steamship for Miss
Carolina Hall, saying the sender would
come to New York. 1t was dated Boston
Highlands
1t was learned tonight through the
Italian woman that Miss Hall had resid-
ed abroad about ten years and met her
companion, Guiseppina Poriana in Milan
about three years ago. According to the
story Miss Hall decided that men get
along better in the world than women
and so adopted male costume. She trav-
clled thus with the other for two years,
and as she was an artist went about the
art centres painting and working at her
profession. Being good rifle shot Miss
Hall is said to have entered several
tournaments and won prizes. When she
decided to conc here she asked the Ital-
ian woman to accompany her.
