hit him What occurred afterward he could not
remember.
At the Putnam House n different story was
told Of the quarrel It said that Thomp-
son had said 20 the men he was with that they
were q lot OF "grafters'' and deserved to be
punched" No one can be found that saw the
assault. The proprietor says he was upstairs
the walters were out OF sight. and no one can
remember the address Of the bartender. who
was without doubt an eyewitness and who
could. doubtless. clear up most of the mystery.
From Thompsons story and such rumOrs as
were aloat in the hotel last night. he was struck
while standing in front OF the bar. and his body
picked up and thrown into the lavatory An
other story is that two men were seen 10 call
another aside, presumably Thompson. and that
the three entered the IavatOry. A few minutes
later two men went out. and soon after Thonp-
sons unconscious body found.
The police believe that he was assaulted By
the information which led to the raid.
Thompson was visited in The hospital after
the coroner had taken statement from him by
his employer. s OsgOOd Pell and by Edward
McVickar. who had also had him In his employ
a real estate broker. From them II was
learned that Thompson lived with his brother at
No. 121 Novelist. Rutherford. -. J.. and that
he fond of playing the races. He Is sup
posed to have another brother. Reginald. in this
city Mr.: Pei said that ne had been a, at his his
had much money at that time.
Thompson refused any information about him
self to the coroner. All he would talk about was
the assault. and he would could not tell
connected story about that. He said he did not
know the men and could not describe them.
When he was asked II he were married. he hesi-
tated awhile and then replied;
We'll you can put me down az single"
At the Putnam House II was said that Thomp-
son had been heard to say:
1T serves them right; now they won't get
any more Of my money"
Two men on the outside Of the hotel later were
