: NOT MRS. RoppY,s BODY
Mystery About coprse Washed Ashore
at Ocean City.

mystery ABOUT Soprse washed Ashore
at Ocean City.
Atlantic City, ~ J., Aug. 22.-The
nude body Of woman, believed to be
that of Mrs. Susan Roddy Of Phila-
delphia, who has been missing since
entering the surf a month ago. was
found in the ocean at Ocean City BY a
life guard. The body was badly de-
composed, but answers the description
Of the missing woman. The body is be-
lieved to be the same one seen in the
surf OF this city on Thursday.
Thomas J. Barry, son-in-law OF Mrs.
Susan Roddy, has failed to identify
the corpse found in the Ocean CITY
surf. A sister OF the missing woman
who went over from this city. also
failed to recognize her relative in the
disfgured coprse. Both Barry and the
sister said the body resembled Mrs.
Roddy in height and build, but based
their final judgment on the fact that
the corpse had good teeth, while they
say Mrs. Roddy's upper teeth were
false.
The Atlantic City police are firm in
the belief that the drowned woman
came from this section of the coast |
and are making a rigid search for any
persons.

not Withstand the strain, and fully 500
persons were carried down.

ROLLER
ON RAMP AGE
GOT AWAY ON VICTORIA STREET
THIS MORNING AND PLAYED
HAVOC TO BACK YARDS.

There was an automobile runaway of
gigantic proportions this morning. 1t
was a runaway where only a Titan
should have been the cheuffeur. The
machine was the property of the gov
eminent however, and was being used
for street rolling purposes. 1t had been
at work at the head of Victoria street.
This morning the machine got started
down the hill and when the Portuguese
cheuffeur saw that the machine was
gaining impetus and the ma
chinery that was supposed to reverse
the thing, were dormant, he did what
seemed to him to be the wisest thing
He jumped off and the machine went
hurrying onward in its career Of de-
struction.
The machine got diverted from the
straight and narrow path and went
Keeling over to the Waikiki side where
1t ran into the curbing and proceeded
to play havoc with the curbing in front
of F, w. Lowreys place. Then it got
kissed off from that side of the street
and went careering on until it saw the
backyard of H. F. Wichman. The ma
chine bounded over the curb, through
the hedge and was heading toward the
barn with the certain prospects of go
ing clean through the premises when a
stout tree that happened to be in the
path arrested the course of the run
away.

A double crime, which will probably
yet be classed as a murder and a sui
eide, was committed shortly after II
o'clock this morning in Iwilei, a Japan
csc named Shiraishi firing three shots
into the body of his wife Asano and
then putting bullet into himself. Both
were taken shortly afterwards to the
Japanese Hospital and both will prob
ably die. The woman has bullet hole
in the back and a hasty diagnosis
seemed to indicate that the missile had
lodged in her lungs. Another bullet
had gone through her right arm and
the third was in her shoulder.
The mans one wound was the more
serious for it was right through his
throat and probably injured the jugular
vein.
The shooting occurred in the fourth
house on the Eva side of the Iwilei
road beyond the Jail. There was no
actual witness to the shooting but the
meager details which could be extract
ed from the many japanese who huddle
together in that delectable locality
would indicate that the man had con-
sumed sake freely last night on the oc-
CdSlol VI his HdlIoHdl HOlludy anu lHlS
morning discovered that his money was
gone. He quarrelled with the woman
about it, that much was overheard by
neighbors, for only planks separate the
apartments, and then the shots rang
out.
The woman Asano, wounded as she
was, ran out of the back door and
along the yard to the place occupied by
her sister Hanaguchi, the first shack
in the row. There she fell unconscious
on the floor

Rothwells affidavit contains the fol-
lowing:
And affiant further states that
about September 1 1905, he was in
formed by T. f. Lansing and others
among whom were the managers and
employees of competing houses that the
said w. c. Peacock was talking of
starting a rival company in COMPETE
ton with w. c. Peacock & Co. Ltd,

fact that said w. c. Peacock was TAX

1t is alleged by Rothwell that for a
number of months Peacock spent his
entire time from 9 a. m. to p. m.
and on evening and Sundays in copy
ing invoices AMI personal accounts from
the books, with Auerbach. On Sep

the company, lose all his investment
and start over again with ten cents.
Bottomly also tells of PeacOck's inten-

is said to have stated that he had $780,

Shiraishi apparently thinking that his
work was done satisfactorily, went out
into the yard, put a bullet through his
throat and fell on his back. The pistol
which was of go calibre, remained grip
ped in his hand.
The neighboring japanese thoroughly
frightened sent a message to the Jail
where High Sheriff Henry resides. He
assumed charge of the case, taking
some letters which he found and also
the pistol. The blood stained clothing
of the wounded woman was for some
unknown reason left behind but was
afterwards secured and turned over to
Sheriff Brown.
The patrol wagon was sent to the
scene but Henry refused to turn over
the evidence he had secured to Assist
ant Sheriff Vida who was in charge of
the case.
Takawa, a Japanese who lives near
the scene said that he heard the shoot
ing and found Shiraishi lying on his
back with a bullet through his throat.
Neither he nor anyone else had seen
the shooting. He had heard the man
say that his "wahine" had spent his
money and had heard them quarrelling.
He asserted that the man had been
drinking but that the woman did not
like drink Of any kind.
There is of course little reason to sup
pose that the man and his victim were
any different in the point of their NOR
ais from the remainder of the people in
the immediate neighborhood. They
came here from Japan five years ago
and the man worked in a Japanese store
for a time. For some time past how
ever he has not worked.
