MOTOR TEAM KILLS HER.
Police Think InUdIid's Death and
Husbands actions Peculiar.

Mrs Mary Baldes fifty years old, of No
3O3 East One-hundred- twenty fifth st. was
killed by elevated train at the Third-ave
and -sixty-ninth-st- station,
just before midnight last night The police say
the death was a mysterious one and, to in
vestigate it further, they took the woman's hus-
band Louis BaIdes tailor; August Reiman.
o. No 2347 First-ave and Christopher Turk.
of No. zoos Third-ave. who accompanied the
woman to the Morrisania station. The police
say the woman may have committed suicide or
come to her death in some manner other than
fall
The party had been in The Bronx to arrange
for picnic to-day. BaIdes walked by the ticket
seller and box man first and says he was fol-
lowed by his wife Reiman said ne was third
and Turk was last. Baldes says he was look
ing toward the end of the platform when he
suddenly heard a scream, and looking about
could not see his wife Then another shrek
from the tracks indicated that his wife had
fallen in front of the train. He fell down on
the platform in state of intense excitement
and the police found him in that position
Reiman said he heard the Shrek and turned,
but did not see the woman and only saw
Baldes fall down. Turk told the same story.
Christopher Buleckier, the motorman. Of No
1926 Tremont-ave., stopped the train seeing
the woman on the track Ten feet of the first
ran over the WOMAN anu nei 4II144SASU OO0S
was found under ii.
Detective England was the first officer to
reach the station. He said he saw Baldes in
a frantic state on the platform and he thought
the position Of the man strange He said after
wards that he decided on investigating the
case further because of the mans peculiar
position and the stories told which did not fully
explain the cause of the woman falling on the
track. -
Mrs. Baldes is said to have been an invalid
and to have usually been under the care OF some
one whenever she went outside her home.
