DIED IN AREAWAY
Mrs. Henrietta Brewer a
Jersey City Domestic
Found In Brooklyn IN
conscious Murder
Not Suspected.

Mrs. Henrietta Brewer, who had for
several years been employed as servant
by Mrs. John c. NJ Thomas. of 1914 Bel
mont avenue, this city, started yesterday
afternoon to visit her mother, Mrs. Hem
rietta Lawrence, of 164 Russell street,
Greenpoint. Early this morning she was
found dying in the areaway Of No.
110A Nassau avenue, Brooklyn. 1t was
at first thought that the woman had been
murdered, but after investigation by the
Brooklyn police the conclusion was reach
ed that the woman, who was subject to
spells Of dizziness, had fallen into the
areaway and fractured her skull. She
expired just as medical assistance ar
rived from the hospital without having
regained consciousness.
4 Mrs. Brewer had visited her mother
in Greenpoint and remained until nearly
midnight, the hours of the visit having
sped 50 rapidly as to deceive her Her
sister, Miss Maude Lawrence, aceompa-
MED her a portion Of the way. Mrs.
Brewer remarked that she dreaded the
trip back to Jersey City on account of
her being subject to spells of dizziness.
Her sister cheered her up, however, and
left her at Nassau avenue and Hum
boIdt street
The dying woman was discovered in
the areaway above mentioned by Frank
Brown, who was attracted by groans.
He notified a policeman Of the Greenpoint
avenue station and they both went lown
the winding stairway and by the aid of
lighted matches found Mrs. Brewer sit
ting against the wall Of the house. She
looked as though she had contriyed to
place herself in that position after a great
effort. On the first floor of the house, in
the areaway Of which Mrs. Brewer was
found, lives Mrs &. Reichert, a midwife,
who declared she had never seen Mrs.
Brewer before and could not imagine how
she got into the areaway.
At the station the police had an easy
time identifying the woman. In her
pocket were found three purses, one of
which contained SOL in change, three
old foreign coins and a small medal. An
other held diamond stickpin, a visiting
card of Mrs. John NJ. G. Thomas, of 1914
Belmont avenue, Jersey City; a business
card of ]. NJ. C. Thomas, of 449 Comu-
nipaw avenue, Jersey City Griffin Iron

Mrs. Grace Holmes, 201 East Twentieth
street. New York, care of Mrs. ]. Mac
Farland small gold brooch pin, lady's
gold watch marked with a monogram

diamonds beneath, and piece of paper
inscribed with the name H. L. Lawrence,

The woman's clothing was found to be of
excellent material
Mrs. Brewer was widow. The po-
lice of this city were notified and a de-
scription Of the woman and the articles
found in the pockets of her dress fur
nished.

Who will get the Tax Board clerk
ship? This is a question that Republi-
cans are asking. George Pforr and
Charles Mason are the active aspirants
and there are any number of dark horses
eager to be brought out at the last min-
ute Commissioners Weastell and Ba-
con, it is said, if there is no interference
on the part Of the party leaders, win vote
for Mason. Pforr, although Republic
can. is not as active as Mason, and for
that reason he does not stand 50 high
in the estimation of members of the or
ganization. He is depending on the sup
port of business men in the Eleventh

in the Tax Department to land him the
desirable berth.

there are less than dozen places and
at least three times that number of

Persons who read Assemblyman Mat

charges in connection with the passage
in the Assembly of the Morris Canal
Abandonment bill win not entertain
very high opinion Of the Hudson City's

doesn't seem to give the people credit for
knowing anything. Imagine legislator
making a statement that if money was
used to pass bill wanted by corpora
ton it must have been put up BY the
opponents of the measure.
Assemblyman Hanill who fought for
the people to defeat the bill, is right when
he says that Mr.. Mattheus's statement
is not deserving of consideration. # Mr..
Matthews is nominated again next fall
he will know after the election what the
people Of Hudson County think Of him.
