TO SEARCH CELLAR FOR CRIMES.
Midwife's Arrest Caused by Her Daug hters'
Accusations.

WIlhelmina Eckhart, a midwife, was
arrested yesterday afternoon at her home,
1873 East Ninety-third street, by Detective
Slood Of the District Attorneys Office on a
charge Of performing a criminal operation.
Her arrest is due to her two daughters,
on statements made by whom the cellar Of
the house is to be dug up for evidence of
more serious offences. She has been ar
rested before.
The daughters are Mrs. Marie Schoch ,
who has two children and lives in Massa-
chusetts, and Mrs. Wilhelmina Ihrig, who
has four children and lives at 23e East
Eighty ninth street. 1t appears hat there
was some family difference. 1t lie also said
that a seven year-old boy. whom Mrs. Eek
hart called her adopted son, had been telling
his schoolmates Of what went on in Mrs.
Eckhart' q home and a Health Department
inspector heard OF it and notified John s.
Cooper Of the County Medical Society.
About the same time Mrs. Schoch went to
the CSunty Medical Society with her sus-
picions.
She was advised to accept an alleged
offer from her mother to take her into
partnership and teach her the trade. What
followed is described in detail in an affidavit
made by Mrs. Schoch.
Detective Flood broke into Mrs. Eokhart's
house yesterday afternoon with a bench
warrant issued by Magistrate Walsh and
found there a negress, Sally Brown. whom
he caused TO be sent to the Presbyterian
Hospital. Mrs. Schoch. who by arrange
ment was in the house told the police
man that when she asked her mother what
had become Of the negressIs child the mother
raid IL had been disposed Of.
Another woman found in the house,
Anna Plantico, was sent to the House OF
Detention. The seven-year-old boy, known
as Tommy Eckhart, was taken to the Dis
trict Attorneys Office. and after he had
made a statement was sent to the Gerry
society. Mrs. Eckhart was held at the
Tombs without bail. Her lawyers said
that the whole trouble arose from the fact
that one Of Mrs. Eckhart's daughters had
tried to get the boy away from her and
that Mrs. Eckhart had made q complaint
OF kidnapping to the police.
The house is under police guard pending
a thorough search.

FORGER GANG ALL GUILTY.
Mccarthy and His WIfe Join the others in
COnfessing.

When Charles Muntwyler appeared in
General Sessions yesterday rs States
witness against his pal. Thomas Mccarthy,
on trial fOr forgery McCarthy's mother and
two sisters began to weep and Mccarthy
broke down and said he would plead guilty.
Then his wife, Irene, who was indicted
with him, said she would plead guilty too.
That ended the case, except that Mccarthy
his wife, Muntwyler and Thomas J. Schadd,
their tool, will be sentenced on Friday.
Schadd was employed as a messenger by
the Rank OF New York. Muntwyler and
Mccarthy got hold Of him and induced him
to bring checks intrusted to him for collec-
ton to an office they opened in Beaver street
under the name T. Jerome Schadd. Here
Muntwyler and Mccarthy traced the sigma
lures on blank checks. At the tine OF the
San Francisco disaster they also traced
the signatures from newspaper reproduc-
tons of checks for the relief fund. One
Of the names they traced was that Of George
NJ. Cohan, the actor. They also used the
name of John A. Drake. In all they got
about $4,000. In every instance they
always called up the bank to find out how
much the particular depositor whose name
they were going to use had TO his account
Mrs. Mccarthy presented the checks.
Schadd and Muntwyler told two girl
friends about their clever forgeries. The
girls told others and word finally got to
some Of the banks.

that date the scale was slightly an increase
OF the average. inc may be to-day. but

remarkable medical freak Harris changes color

days his skin takes purple hue while on
days when the air is clear and bracing his color
fades to the pale blue of skinned milk His
color also runs all the intermediate shades be-
tween these two. as the weather varies H is
frequently mistaken for a Negro by casual OBJ
servers while many residents Of ithaca believe
that he is either Negro turning white or
white man turning black
The cause of Mr. Harris's peculiar color IS

declare that there is a hole in the sepIum OF

ess, made by one of the most noted lawyers
of Massachusetts and former United States
District Attorney, George NJ. Stearns. Although
the lawyer has been dead eleven years, the mare
is sleek, fat and healthy and the only sign of old
age creeping on is the change in her once shape

browse in the meadows, for Mr Stearns stipu-
lated in his will that she not to be worked
