TOLD OF KILLING DENNY.
Woman Said to Haze Heard Men
Beneath Her WindO1c.

New interest was added yesterday to the death
of John Z. Denny the ironworker in the Erie
Basin. Brooklyn. who was found drowned beside
the Long Dock on Sunday morning, when Mrs
Barbara Lohmann. of No. 400 Columbia st, told
Mrs Denny that a Mrs. Harry Ritter, OF Ham
ilton-aye had told her that she had overhead
conversation between three men last Sunday
night during which one of the men declared
that he had helped put Denny out of the way.
Mrs I.ohrnann was going TO Manhattan on
the Hamilton-ave ferry early on Monday morn
ing when she began to talk to Mrs. Ritter,

declared. according to Mrs. Lohmann, that
about 10 O'Clock on Sunday night. while sitting
in her window. she had heard three men talking
in the street and that one of them said:

Mrs Lohmann says that detective from the

he had never heard of Mrs Lohmann or Mrs.
Ritter and denied that any new statements had
been made about the Denny case by anybody.
The police are tenaciously holding to their CON
viction that Denny was drowned by 1aIllhg

ferryboat every morning. She can bring for

The patent case Of Wolfe & Co. Of
Germany, VS.. the lE l. Dupont de Ne
mours & Co, of this city. began in
United States Court this morning. The
defendant company is charged with
using a patent process in the manufac-
ture Of smokeless powder. claimed to
be owned exclusively by the German
concern.
Judge Edward G. Bradford occupied
the bench, and numerous exhibits of
smol1eless powder were scattered about
The plaintiff company was represented
by Julian C. and Osgood IT. Dowell, Of
Washington. ID. c.. and the defense by
Frederick p. Fish and Charles Neave,
Of New York.
The plaintiff company alleges that
the patent in question was granted
it on June 8, 1890. and that the firm be-
uan the manufacture of smokcless
powder in 1891 The argument will
last several days. and it is probable
that before its end Judge Bradford will
have learned as much about the manu-
facture Of smokeless powder as the men
actually engaged in the business.
