part in the case has been SO prominent
that this statement was viewed as a
telling blow at the defense. 1t was
not until DR.. Genth had examined the
viscera of Mrs. Brouwer and reported
that the Ocean county authorities could
be induced to proceed against the well
known and popular physician.
Miss Una Dudley, one of the nurses
who attended Mrs. Brouwer during her
fatal illness, testified that she had not
administered to the sick woman hypo-
dermic injections prepared by DIR. Brou-
wer for that purpose, but she was not
permitted to tell why.
what did Mrs. Brouwer getF' ask
ed the prosecutor
"she was given milk" said Miss
Dudley.
"Was there anything in the nilk?'
Put Something In Mix.
"The doctor told me that he had put
something in the milk"
did you or the doctor give the milk
to Mrs. Brouwer?"
81 gave her some, and know the
doctor gave her something"
'sWhat happened after the doctor had
given her this something?"
Mrs. Brouwer was seized with Sc
we're convulsions.s
1t was not brought out whether the
nurse knew what DR.. Brouwer is al
legged to have put in the milk
Miss Dudley said further than on
Sept 10, 1905, six days before her
death, AIRS. Brouwer was seized with
several convulsions. When Dr.. Brou-
wer learned OF her condition, she as
serted, he went to her bedside aud adj
ministered a hypodernic injection of
morphine and on leaving the room
called the witness into the hallway.
"Dr. Brouwer," she testified, said to
me that it was hard for him to be left
alone with two boys. DO all you can
for her, he said, referring to his wife,
Give her all the morphine she wants.
Give it to her every twenty minutes. /
would rather see her die under an OPT
ate than to be in the condition she is
now"
Prosecutor Accuses Prisoper.
In his opening address Theodore j.
r. Brown, public prosecutor of Ocean
county, held the jury spellbound as he
dramatically accused the prisoner OF
remorselessly numbering his wife.
We will prove that this man is one
of the most nerciiess fends who lived, .
shouted the prosecutor, shaking his fin
ger at the defendant
HE is what is known to the police as
slow murderer he went on. "They
are nothing more than fiends in human
shape They watch their victims suffer
with tortures of the damned and gloat
over their agony.
s1n the body of Mrs. Brouwer the
deadliest of poisons were found. They
had been administered a little at a
time. Mrs. Brouwer died slowly by de-
grees, getting weaker every day, suf-
fering more and more and pathetieally
pleading for help from her husband,
who we will prove answered her APP
peal with death.

Democratic Assembly Can
didates Yesterday Re-
fused to Endorse Any Can
didate for United States
Senator
LEADERS WANT DR.. WILSON
PRINCETON UNIyERsITY's PRES
IDENT HAD CABLED HE
WOULD NOT ALLOW THE USE
OF HIS NAMR-FoRMER sENA-
TOR SMITH MAY RE-ENTER
THE RACE

After a caucus that lasted several
hours yesterday afternoon, the eleven
Democratic Assembly candidates of Es-
rsex County adjourned without endorsing
any candidate for United States Senator,
in the event of their election. An at
tempt was made to secure the endorse
ment Of DR.. Woodrow Wilson, President
Of Princeton University. Several of the
candidates strongly expressed themselves
in favor of Dr. Wilson, but was deemed
best not to take any action that might
be construed as an injury to the avoWed
candidacy of Col. e. A. Etevens, of Ho-
boken, or as inimical to the interests Of
Former United States Senator James
Smith, Jr., Of Newark. The latter re-
Gently declared that he had retired ahso-
lutely from political life, but he. is still
looked upon by many politicians as the
leader of the State Democracy. Some of
the candidates expressed the belief that
he might be influenced to re-enter the
Senatorial race in the event of the DEM
ocrats securing a majority on joint ball
lot of the next Legislature. At present
it looks as though the next Legislature
will be soundly Democratic.
Col. Stevens is to be the guest of the
Democratic League at a reception and
mass meeting at Newark tomorrow
night. DR.. Wilson, who is now in Eu-
rope, has cabled that the would not con-
sent to the use of his name as a possible
candidate for the Senatorship, because
he prefers to carry out the work he has
undertaken at the Princeton University
The movement TO have the Essex Demo-
cratic Assembly candidates endorse DR..
Wilson was inspired by number of Es-
sex Democratic leaders. David T.
Howell, who presided, strongly pressed
the endorsement of DIR. Wilson He
urged that it was essential that the Es-
sex Democratic Assembly candidates de-
clare for U. S.NSenatorial candidate of
the high standing of the Princeton Uni
versity candidate in order that the voters
on the Republican side and the indepen-
dent element might be induced to vote
for the Democratic legislative ticket in
preference to the Assembly nominees of
the Republican party, all of whom are
pledged by the platform on which they
were nominated to vote for the re-elec-
ton of Senator Dryden. The fact that
teh Essex Assembly candidates in eau.
Gus yesterday refused to endorse any
candidate with q. s. Senatorial aspira-
tions, although urged by leaders. makes
it look bright for their support of the
candidacy Of Col. Stevens, and it is an
tieipated that he will be given rousing
reception in Newark tomorrow night.

ONE GAME FoR AMERICANS.
Chicago White sox Beat Nationals In
First Championship Contest.

FIRST Championship Contest.
Chicago, Oct. 10. = Forty thousand
men and women, freAzied with base
ball enthusiasm, docked to the West
Side Ball park to witness one Of the
tory of the sport, the first game of the
series between the Chicago American
White Stockings and the Chicago Cubs
to decide the championship of the
world
BY marvellous exhibition of game
ness the White Sox won victory over
the Nationals by score Of to i on
the Cubs own grounds.
Altrock pitched superb ball for the
White Sex, but his wild pitch In the
sixth inning gave the Nationals their
only rum
Two errors by King, passed ball
and muff Of ball thrown to catch a
runner at the plate. and Sheckard's
kick Of the ball were mainly response
BILE for the runs scored by the White
Sox
The Americans tailed first Ia the
fifth inning. Robe singled and Sheck-
ard booted the sphere so that Rohe
never stopped running until he hugged
third base. King muffed the throw OF
an infeld tap and Robe scored. In the
sixth inning a passed BAH and Isbelrs
single gave the Jones boys their second
run.
Part of the fierce struggle was played
in driving snowstorm.
The White Sox played the same style
of game, the bunt, that won them the
championship of the American league.
The Cubs played the same game in
the sixth, but King was successful In
scoring only by reason of Altrock's
wild pitch.
The game furnished fine sample OF
modern baseball wherein the fine points
of the game are more in evidence than
the slugging of other days, but it was
an error of puerile character which
gave the American league team its
winning margin. And that error also
is the reason that supporters of the
winning team, erstwhiie demanding
odds in betting, are willing to take
even money on the series

Bound to Tree by Ropes Whose Char
red Ends Are Found-seekine Dead
Mans Enemies.
Flemington, N. J., Oct. 10.-Coroner
George NJ Pidcock made the positive
statement that a murder exceeding in
cruelty even those committed by the
Indians in bygone' days was done about
two months ago on Asbury mountain,
near this town. His Investigations
show that the victim was burned alive
there and doubtless his money taken
by the murderers.
The disclosure of the facts, based up
on circumstantial evidence, Is as fol-
lows:
Ten days ago a skeleton was found
on spur of Asbury mountain. 1t was
that of man. Indications that the
body had been burned were every
where
Marks were found where the fire had
eaten into the bones. Not single
thing apparently remained by which
the body could be identified; but, as
Coroner Pideock said, fate interviewed,
and the pathetic heap of bones was
recognized The body is that of Frank
J.. Hopkins, member of firm of,
Newark carpenters and contractors.
He had an office at 1o9 Mechanic
street. A man named Apgar was his
partner
Carried Money With Him.
Two months ago Hopkins disappear
ed mysteriously. He always carried
more than S100 with him, and great
many people knew this.
On the day when Hopkins was last
seen he had $500 with him. He intend
ed to go to Moatclair and pay off a
gang of laborers who had been en-
pioyed by his firm. Not word has
been received from the man since. He
had no apparent reason for leaving his
home. Life to him was smooth, and
every business venture in which he
was engaged produced profit.
The coroner got the relatives of Hop
kins together and showed them the re-
mains of the burned man They figured
on size, weight, height, etc, under the
coroners direction and positively iden-
titled the skeleton.
There had been some doubt as to the
manner Of the mans death, but this
doubt was also dispelied. The coroner
examined the ground once more and
with minute care. He found ropes with
singed ends, and he found marks of
fire on the trees near which the body
was found. The authorities naturally
figure that if the murderers intended
to burn a lifeless body they would not
have bound it with ropes.
Detectives have been set to work to
solve the mystery, and they are look
ing for both business and personal enc
mics of the man.
The Jersey City news., 1906-10-10


or more, testified that he found in
them evidences Of irritation and in
fammatfoa, which We're the cause of
death. He admitted that tSese condi-
tiens might have been proda1ed by ar
senicai or strychnine poisoning.
On cross examination DIR. Cattell ae-
knowledged that the inflammation and
irritation he had discovered might have
been caused by an attack of acute in
digestion or by ptomaine poisoning.
Mr. Brown in opening for the state
reviewed the circumstances of the
death of Mrs. Brouwer He said that
on Sept. IA Mrs. Brouwer was taken
suddenly Ill in the night with violent
pains. These were symptoms of poi
soning, the prosecutor contended, and
he said that no other person but DR..
Brouwer attended his wife on that >oc-
casion.
Subsequently she exhibited similar
symptoms, land a nurse was called in
to help take care of her. DR.. Brouwer
gave the nurse something which he
said was medicine and directed that it
be given to Mrs Brouwer at certain
intervals DR.. Brouwer t9en. went to
Lakewood and ordered ge nurse to
telephone him if there was any change
in the condition of his wife.
Helped by Other Doctors.
This medicine had the@pposite effect
from what DR.. Brouwer said it would
have, and Mrs. Brouwer's condition be-
came worse, so that the nurse had to
call in other physicians. Under their
care Mrs. Brouwer became better and
was almost well when the nurse left.
The prosecutor said that on the Sun
day before Mrs Brouwer died she was
again taken violently Ill and showed
symptoms Of poisoning. Another nurse
was called in, she being on duty in the
daytime and DIR. Brouwer at night
That Sunday-night DIR. Brouwer reliev-
ed the nurse at 8 o'clock, and at
o'clock in the morning Mrs Brouwers
condition was so critical that DR.. Brou-
wer called the nurse up to aid him.
Mrs. Brouwer was then in great pain
and agony and died at o'clock.
simultaneously with the opening of
the case came news of Dr. Brouwer's
intention to take the stand in his own
behalf if his counsel when the evil
dence produced by the prosecution has
all been taken, believes such action
Will benefit the defense.
No Poison In Embalnns Fluid.
One of the most important develop
ments of the day came with the an
nouncement that the embalming fluid
used in Mrs. Brouwer's body did not
contain arsenic or any other poison
Regarding DR. Brouwef's request to
his counsel to be placed on the stand
in his own behalf it was learned that
this has been his desire from the first.
DR.. Brouwer said:
tsYes, I desire to testify. They claim
that my motive for numbering my wife
was to get her money. Why, when the
facts are known it will be proved that
l had given my house to my wife and
was paying for it in installments.
'sAs for this story that gave her
Sloun0 glass, lHdI Is d1sO pFepOSter0uS.
No physician desiring to commit secret
murder would ever administer any
thing like that. AS for the arsenic,
the medicines I gave my wife have
all been analyzed and not a drop of
anything harmful found in them. No,
no, I tell you that when all the evi-
dence against me is in this awful
