No. BIB East Eighty-sxth-st. with his W1e ana
daughter, sixteen years old, died yesterday In q
fiat occupied by Joseph Douelson, on the fourth
floor at No. 24s West Thirty-eighth-st. under cir
cumstances that led Coroner Scholer to order the
detention Of Donelson and muatto woman who
says she is Josephine Moore and who is known
also Josephine Gomez.
The death reported to the coroners ONCE
by DR.. W. H. Lucas. of No. 226 West Thrty-ninth-
ST. who had been called to the Donelson fiat by
Mrs. Mary Herman. janitor of the Thirty -eighth-
St building The physician reported that Bechtel
might have died from morphine or some other
drug poisoning.
Detectives obtained from the mulatto woman a
statement that the man. whom she said she did
not know called at the fiat about Ii g. m yester-
day, saying he opened the door:
oh Mrs. Schlessinger. I sick!'
She said she explained that Mrs. Schlessinger did
not live there. She saw that the man was Ill. she
said and led him at to bedroom and helped
him to remove his outer clothing. He lay down.
and she shouted for Mrs Herman, the janitor. who
went for Dr. Lucas. Beohtel had been dead about
ten minutes when Dr. Lucas arrived.
Coroner scholer thought BechteIs death had
been caused by apoplexy heart disease but he
added also that it might have been caused by
knockout crops. What makes me suspicious
about this case said the coroner is that not one
cent of money found in this mans pockets"
