HAD 100000
BUT STARVED
SELF TO Death

New York, Nov. 4.-"Dead OF starva-
tom
That was the verdict OF Coroners Ply
sician Wuest In the case Of little old Mrs.
Caroline Barry, the recluse OF Greene ave-
nue.. Brooklyn, yesterday. 1t did not tell
that the woman was worth more than half
a million dollars and that death was the
result OF slow starvation, a process she
had been following for more than 80
years, notwithstanding her wealth.
The story OF the woman whose little
old attenuated body was found by the po-
lice yesterday huddled up on the floor of
her kitchen in the midst OF a little Of use
less trash, Is reminiscent of a tale OF
Dickens. For many years she had been
an eccentric of the most decided type, but
never has there been any doubt cast on
her sanity, for In all matters OF business
she was as shrewd and exacting as Hetty
Green herself.
Although more than an Indifferent
housekeeper. the confusion found in
every room of her three-story brownstone
residence. at No. AL Greene avenue testi-
fed, where one of her fads was concerned
she was neatness itself.
Tin cans-milk cans, tomato cans and
hobby.
She had collected hundreds of these
and placed them in orderly rows i'm the
draws of her mahogany and rosewood
chests. Each can was so brightly polish
ed that 1t shone like a mirror. But the
windows were thick with dust and fes-
tooned with cobwebs.
Inside, except for the shining cans and
bottles there was a still greater disorder
and chaos. Although Mrs. Barry moved
to the place more than eight years ago,
her rich furnishings of antique rosewood
and mahogany, with priceless carvings
and upholstery. had never been unpacked
and no effort had been made TO prevent
them from falling TO dry rot
In every room stood furniture i'm its
excelsior wrappngs, both upstairs and
down, while boxes and barrels cuttered
the floors. A bed had been set up i'm one
Of the rooms on the second dsOr, where,
evidently, the little old woman had slept
but this must have been long ago. for
the quilt was covered with mould
Mrs Barry had not always been thus.
Years ago she was happy wife. ana a
60-eyar-old oil painting found i'm her attic
showed her To have been a bright pretty
girl. Her husband, AlexatIer Barry, a
Scotchman, made a fortune manufacture
ing one-time famous hair tonic. He
died 30 years ago though. after "a fall
downstairs, which broke his neck. Since
then she has been changed.
Tax receipts found I'm the house show
that she owned property In Williamsburg
and house at II West 18th street, Man
haitian, valued at $4,000 No papers in
the house gave any clew TO her relatives
and the only known heir is Alexander
Barry, who calls himself Berrie. a nephew
OF her husband, who inherited from him
the hair restorer business.
