Richard L. Darlington, 50 years old, q
portrait painter and instructor, was found
dead in his room in the Century Building,
l42 Market street, Newark, yesterday after
noon withtwo bullet holes In his head and q
revolver lying ear The body was
found on the floor by a woman who said
she was Carrie NJ. Utter, and who was en-
ployed by the lead man. She said she had
2 o'clock. Two OF the chambers of the
revolver had been discharged.
B~arrington's office was on the second
floor Of the building. which is in the centre
OF the business part Of the city, but nobody,
1t is said, heard the report Of the shot. When
Miss Utter returned the door Of the Office
was partly open, she says, and the body OF
Darlington lay on the floor. Running
into an adjoining Office she exclaimed that
her employer had tainted. Several men
ran in with water to revive him only to
find he was dead. Miss Utter is about
30 years old and she has been living at 10
Academy street, Newark.
Word was sent to the police and Miss
Utter was taken to the First precinct station
to be uestioned. Her statement was to
the effect that she had been in Barrington's
employ for a year and that she had been
with him in various cities before coming
to Newark a few months ago. In all these
places Darlington, she said. tried 10 es-
tablish a paying business in enlarging
photographs and giving them, by a pro-
CESS. the appearance of being finished in
oil. Bad luck and poor business followed
persistently and his success in Newark
was no better than elsewhere. He fell be-
hind, incurred debts, couldn't pay his re- mt
and was ordered to vacate his office yester-
day by the agent of the building. Miss
Utter added hat she had notified Barring
ton, who was indie bted to her 500 for wages.
that she had secured another place of en-
ployment. She said her home was in
Boston.
harrington owed three months rent and
also owed money to many people. He
was to have moved his belongings yester-
day. II was learned that a brother of his
lives in Oswego.
There was no doubt in the minds If those
who had looked over the case that IL was a
case of suicide until the autopsy was made,
and even then the general opinion was that
it would be proved 10 he suicide. When
County Physician William II. Mckenzie
performed the autopsy he found that two
bullets had lodged in Barrington's head.
One, fired into the right temple, took an
upward course and lodged in the lining of
the brain without penetrating that organ.
The other went into the left temple and
through the brain. DR.. Mckenzie decided
that harrington was not TUNED by the
first shot, and hat in his eaRerness to die
he changed the pistol 10 his left hand after
he had discharged il the first time, and then
fred the shot that killed him.
Although there was no other definite
theory than that of suicide, the County
Physician ordered that Miss Utter be de-
tanned until a further Investigation could
be made.
The woman admitted last night TO acting
Captain Ryan that the name she first gave
was her maiden name and that she is a
married woman. She said her husband is
Frank Hogel of Wate rtown, y. Y. She is
separated from him and is suing for divorce.
She added hat she expects a decree in a
few days. Mrs. Hogel admitted, too, that
Boston was not her home. but that she came
from Syracuse, n. Y, and is a native of
Canada.
Can't. RYAN found in ~BarringtOn's trunk,
which ha kept in his ofica, using the latter
as his sleeping place also a box of % calibre
long cartridges. similar to those in the re-
VOlver tina killed him,
