six years old wife of the president of the Uni
versal Trading and Supply Company, was muir
dered to-day by W. J. Constantine the son of
a wealthy man living in New-York City. 1t Is
reported that he is a member of the firm Of John
Constantine & Son, whose place of business Is
in Harlem.
Mrs Gentry died before she could make
statement and Constantine fed without hat or
coat He is now being sought by the police
Mrs Gentry and Constantine were alone in the
apartments at No 532 La Sale-ave.. where the
Gentry family lived Mrs. Gentry was about to
start to the street when the murderer attacked
her with razor. After cutting her throat from
ear to ear, he pushed her out into the hail ana
threw her down flight of stairs. She fell
against the door Of the apartments occupied by
DR. David J. Doherty. on the floor below
The physician took Mrs. Gentry into his off1ce
and endeavored to save her life, but she died
within a few minutes.
A razor belonging to Constantine was found
on the floor of the room in which the crime was
committed.
From clothing and letters found in Constan-
tines room by the police it is evident that he
had ample money to spend. There was evidence
that he had been staying at the most expensive

Mr. Gentry arrived at his home soon after his
wife had been killed. but was unable to throw
any light upon the cause of the tragedy.
Il cannot conceive" he said. why any person
in the world should attack my wife. The entire
affair is a complete mystery to me-
Dr. Doherty who tried to save Mrs. Gentry's
life said that from the nature of the wound he
had formed the opinion that Mrs Gentry had
been attacked from behind. The razor. he said
had severed the windpipe and every large artery
and vein in the neck. No medical aid could have
saved the woman after she was attacked
