CorOner's Jury in
Hoy Case Give
a Verdict.
The TESTIMONY
Witnesses Told How the Man
Had Been Found and Kept
for Several Hours With
Apparently No At 4
tentiOn.

The coroners jury at the inquest
at West New Brighton last night into
the death of Thomas J. Hoy, of this
city, who fell from the S. |. R. T..
platform at Tottenville on the night
of May %, brought in verdict that
he met his death accidentally through
the carelessness of the officers of the
railroad company and the Tottenville
officers. The inquest was conducted
by Coroner Matthew ]. Cahill and a
twelve-man jury.
Dr. Walker Washington, of Tot
tenville, and the coroner's physician,
DR.. George Mord, were at the inquest
and their testimony was of con-
ficting nature DR.. Washington
maintained that Mr.. Hoy sustained
a fractured skull, but DR.. Mord diff
fered from that view The captain
and sergeant of police were also wit
nesses, as well as the roundsman
and patrolman. Conductor Gerow of
the railway company made a state
ment that he aroused the young man
from his doze in the car and he did
not see Mr.. Hoy except for three or
four steps which he took after leav-
ing the car. Joseph Dougherty, an
employe of the S. I. R. T., who found
Mr.. Hoy on the beach, and Rhine
alder Johnson, another railroad man,
also told of the finding. They spoke
to him and, after a few minutes, lift
ed him to his feet. They took him to
the flag shanty noticing the signs of
injury, and notified the police of Tot
tenville. DR.. Washington was sum-
moned and arrived at 1870 o'clock
a. M, about an hour after Dougherty
had discovered the injured man on
the beach.
Laying him on stretcher, they
kept him there, in his wet clothes,
Just above concrete floor and with
out stimulants, until $40 o'clock,
when he was placed aboard the early
train for st. George, but he died on
the way.
Martin Noonan, r. B. Smith and
Louis Tarkelsen, local men, the first
two of whom went to New York with
HOY, and the latter, who met him on
the way home, were also witnesses.
Mr.. Hoy's father, William Hoy, at
tended the inquest and asked the
Tottenvlle police a few questions.
The jury remained out about fifteen
minutes.
Mr.. Hoy stated today that the cor
oner had conducted fair trial and
accorded him every courtesy. He ex-
pressed himself as greatly pleased
with his treatment by the officials
during the hearing.

HOW RICH
{ S CAP {
P RISON.
Jerome Tells Why MiIIiOnaires
Are Immune from ImprisOn-
ment--Hard TO Bring II Home.
REPLIES TO GOV. FOLK.

NEW YORK, June 15.-District At
torney jerome explained in an inter
view here why rich criminals so sell
dom go to Jail, whereas poor men are
easily convicted
His views were given in the course
of a reply to the attack made on him
by Governor Folk OF Missouri.
Referring to failure to convict men
of wealth, Mr.. Jerome said
when the prosecution fails in such
cases the public blames the law, and If
it happens that the one charged with
crime is wealthy and occupies a posi-
ton of influence the public Is inclined
to the belief that no man of wealth
and power can be convicted of crime.
''That men of wealth are not convict
ed is not because the district attorney
is disinclined to prosecute or iuries to
convict, but because the rich man Is
not in such close personal relation to
the fact constituting the crime as the
poor fellow.
Grimes committed by wealthy men
are as rule confined to trade, com
merce and finance and is not done by
them personally, but by some subordi-
nate under their direction. This leaves
the act and the man really responsible
chain of events and persons that
must be connected.
"Accomplices cannot corroborate
each other. SO that under this condition
of the laws it is almost impossible to
secure a conviction. Because of these
conditions a district attorney frequent
ly will not go before grand jury with
cases that cannot stand in court.
"Where public officer goes outside
of his duty and uses the great power
vested in his office by law for other
purposes great harm almost always is
sure to result to the public.
''If a man is indicted for crime,
though the law does not presume it to
be fact, he has an indelible stain on
his name"
Mr.. Jerome said he thought that if
he had been correctly quoted to Gov
ernor Folk the governor and he would
be in accord.
Not once have l questioned the sim
cerity of his purpose or the seriousness
of his motives. The things he did re-
moved conditions in st. Louis which
were to that city's shame. If he took
up the investigation hastily and was
somewhat swept off his feet he isn't
the first man to have done things that
way"

ELIZABETH LANDMARK.

ELIZABETH, June 15-The Penn
sylvania railroad company, through
the Manor Realty Company, of Phil
adelphia, has purchased Turn Hall,
on High street. The price has not
been made public officially, although
1t is said that it was Sill, 900.
The building will be torn down
when the company constructs its
roadway through the city. The occu-
pants OF the building, where gen.
eral meeting place for societies is
maintained, have not been notified to
move, so far. The place has been a
popular dance hall for half cen
tury. It has been the scene of many
political conventions and of many
notable banquets. The deal was
consummated at the first of the week.

DATE FOR

HEARING.
FreehOIders Afraid Of Being Put
in Jail II They Touch the
Bridge Now.
EXPECT SOME RESULTS.

A report was spread around town
this morning that the new bridge
would be opened tomorrow. No con-
firmation of the report could be Sc
cured. Freeholder John Hanson, in
conversation with a NEWS reporter,
said: "If the freeholders were to
open the bridge tomorrow they would
be put in jail, and, personally, have
no desire to spend a vacation in the
lookup"
The attorney for the freeholders
has notified Willard P. voorhees,,
counsel for Mr. Bloomfield, that there
would be a hearing of the bridge case
before Justice Fort Monday. The free
holders also meet at this time and it
is probable that something of i'm
portance will take place.

DOGS LED To
POLICE COURT
Warrant Sworn Out and Then
the Parties Decided TO Call

PENNSY PENSIONS
AT new BRUNSWICK
Pay Car Leaves $1,000 at the
County Seat Every Month for
Old Employees of Company.

NEW BRUNSWICK, June 15.-
There is an association in this city
which attracts but very little atten-
tion, and that is the Exempt Penn
sylvania Railroad Employees Associa-
ton. 1t is a social as we'll as bene-
fit body, and meets once every month,
mostly on the thirteenth, at the Penn
sylvania railroad station.
AS usual, the meeting was held
Wednesday, and all were made hap
by by the arrival of the pay car. Al
though it does not reach here before
noon, the members are on deck early
in the morning and railroad forty
years ago, as compared with the pres
ent, is always the principal discus
sion.
The membership now numbers
about so, and is constantly growing.
Hugh Garrigan, an old railroader
was initiated into the association yes
terday, and for the first received a
pension. The Pennsylvania railroad
leaves with this body every month
nearly $1,000.
Out of this body, Hugh Garrigan is
the only one who does not believe
railroading to be dangerous. Most OF
the others have the appearance of
having been through war, some
having lost a leg or an arm, or have
been injured in some way. Still they
are jolly body, and many a social
time is spent on the 18th while wait
ing for the pay car.

Throwing Bomb
Was Signal
To Begin.

Crowd Attack Stores on the Main
Street, Tearing Out Fixtures,
Windows and Goods Hun
dredS Are Reported
Killed.

BIALYSTOK, Russia, June ia
Jewish anarchist threw bomb among
the Corpus Christi procession which
was in progress here, killing and
wounding many persons. In conse-
quence the Christians attacked and
massacred the Jews and demolished
their shops. Hundreds of persons were
killed or wounded.
The bomb was thrown from the bal
cony of a house in Alexandrov street.
a Russian clergyman named Fedoroff
was among those killed by the explo-
sion
Immediately after the explosion
Jews began to fire with revolvers from
the windows of the house into the
crowd. Soldiers surrounded the house
and fired two volleys into the win
dows. Meanwhile the exasperated
Christians attacked the Jewish stores
in Alexandrov and Suraz streets, de-
molishing the fixtures and windows
and throwing goods into the cutters
and beating and numbering the Jews.
A crowd of Jews fed to the railroad
station, pursued by the mob, which
killed many of them there. Three Jews
were thrown from second story win
dows of the railroad station building.
The Jews are fleeing from Bialystol
to the neighboring forests, and mobs
are pursuing them. Detachments of
dragons have been sent out to protect
the Jews.
The anti-Jewish outbreak Is still
raging, fighting is in progress in the
streets, the firing is continuous, and
the best stores in the city have been
sacked.
The Jews offered the best resistance
possible, many of them being armed,
but were unable to prevent the pillag-
ing of their homes and places of busi-
ness. Finally the military interfered,
but without being able to restore or
der. The police apparently had given
over the Hebrew population to slaugh-
ter and pillage.
Bialystok. or Bielostok. as it is some
times called, is thriving town of
$4,000 people, situated about fifty
miles southwest of GrodnO and near
the junction of the st. Petersburg
