RELATIVES DECLARE
THAT SHE WAS GIVEN
POISON
MARRIED THREE YEARS
Statements by Two Nurses
Cause Investigation.
an AsaocIatea press.l

New York, Dec. Unceasing eff
forts are to be made to clear up the
mysterious circumstances surround
ing the death Of Mrs. Carrie Brouwer,
the wife of Or. Frank r. Brouwer Of
Lakewood, ~ j.. whose relatives de-
clare that she was poisoned. Mrs.
Brouwer was the daughter of Isaac
Hyer OF Lakewood. She was a school
teacher in 1895. when she met Dr.
Frank r. Brouwer, who had Just been
graduated from Jefferson Medical col
lege, in Philadelphia They we're mar
ried and moved to Toms River, near
Lakewood. where he established a
practice. They lived happily until
three years ago, when Mrs. Brouwer
accused her husband of paying too
much attention TO young woman patti.
ent There was talk of divorce, and
DR.. Erouwer consulted a lawyer for
this purpose, but proceedings were
dropped.
MIS-. Brouwer died on Sept. 25 last
after an Illness Of eleven days. Dr.
Brouwer attended her part of the time
DR.. Henry H. Cate of Lakewood, who
disappeared about a month ago, was
called IN by Mrs. Brouwer. He had
borrowed 5000 from Mrs Brouwer a
year ago, giving as security a bill of
sale OF his household and Office fr-ni-
tre. DR.. Cate was not present when
Mrs Brouwer died. but he signed the
death certificate, giving acute Bright's
disease as the cause of death.
Statements made by two nurses after
Mrs Brouwef's death caused her bro
'ther. " e. Hyer, of Long Branch, to
demand an investigation. The county
authorities refused Il grant his re-
quest, but he persisted. and the case is
now likely to be sifted to the bottom.
Detectives OF an insurance company in
which Mrs. Brouwer was insured for
81 600 joined in the investigation.
They discovered, It is alleged, that nr.
Cate signed the death certificate ae-
cording to Dr. Brouwer's wishes. The
sudden disappearance of DR.. Cate af-
ter he had learned that an inyestiga-
ton was on foot has added another
element of mystery to the case.

Special to Daily leader
New York, Dec 2s--The week just
closed has been typical ante-holiday
market. Transactions decreased in vol
ume as the week progressed and the
selling movement which caused marked
weakness from time to TIME was signh-
cant only as representing an evening up
OF speculative positions over the holi-
days. abroad the markets were rela-
lively much duller than In New iure,
and the weakness was more pronounced
This is somewhat of an anomaly. as
speculation has been rampant here,
while in London and continental bours-
es the uncertainty over the Russian sit-
uation has preciuded bull markets and
enforced rigid conservatism and hus-
banding Of money resources This con-
dition only goes to show the enormously
strong position Of our market and the
great power OF the financial interests at
the helm OF this bun movement
The week was eventful because OF the
bankruptcy CT three Chicago banks At
