and found her lying on the floor with
a bullet wound in her left breast.
The ball ranged upward just missing

Perishes from Hunger and Fear
During the Fifteen Days of
His imprisonment.

The man who was discovered in the
hold of the Hamburg-American steam
er Palatia the other day after having
made the trip across the ocean in a
box has recovered sufficiently to be
able TO establish identity positively.
He said his name was John Beck and
that he lived up to about year ago in
Buda-Pesth. Hungary.
The doctors would not allow him to
tell his story, but enough was learned
from him and other sources TO show
that Beck was a house painter and
that he had come across the card Of
an uptown hotel in New York city,
the proprietors of which have Ger
man names. Though stranger to
them he wrote that he could get no
work in Germany and was coming to
America and hoped the hotel men
could find him something to do.
Then he fitted up packing case,
paid freight charges on it and engaged
a carter to take it to the Hamburg pier
at certain time. He then returned to
his lodging and boxed himself up aft
er he had proyisioned himself with a
dozen cans of condensed milk, box
prunes. three dozen cakes of choco-
late, coffee in bottles and some bread
The carter called and got the box, not
knowing of its living contents, and
shipped it,
Beck declared that he was in the box
until the ship reached the Hoboken
pier, a period of about Is days, and
when he was found he was almost dead
from hunger. cold and terror,
Newton Bennington, well-known
real estate owner and horseman, is
said to have interested himself in the
case and to have promised to give
Beck work should he recover.
