PHILADELPHIA, August 13-With the

dead from gas asphyxiation In a room at
Brilfs Hotel. 10th street below Chestnut
as faul Lotus. a first sergeant of marines
part of the mystery surrounding the case

resulting in the identification of his BODY
at the morgue by Sergt. Joseph ]. Sewers
Lotus was on board the battleship Maine
when 1t was blown up in Havana ha rbor
He also participated in the first battle of
the Spanish American war at Matanzas
Ihere We're two points connected with
Lotus death which Deputy Coroner
Wright endeavored unsuccessfully to Gle.
up. These related to the whereabouts of
Anthony Middleton the night clerk at the
Hotel Bril-. who was on duty Saturday
night when Lotus and companion were
assigned TO a room. Lotus registered as
f. E. Rice. but the other man did not put
his name in the book.
When Deputy Coroner Wright made in
quiries at the hotel he was informed that
Middleton had been discharged for some
dereliction which. it said. had no con-
nection with the case of Lotus and had
left the house. He was supposed to have
gone to Germantown. and his address was
not learned.
Wright also informed that Lotus
companion only remained in his room about
half an hour after registering and then
went out, saying he was going to buy a
package of cigarettes. He did not return
The hotel people told Deputy Coroner
Wright that beyond doubt Lotus death
was accidental. despite the suspicious cir
cumstances suggested by the disa ppearance
of Middleton and the stranger who had
been with LOTUS.

ing With SLAYER of Her Hnsband

NEW YORK, August 13-Mrs Minnie
Horn, the widow of Policeman John Horn
OF the Vernon avenue station, BROOKLYN
who was killed about eight years ago at

rick Sweeney, young man. who jabbad
the sharp point of fencing foil into his
back. was removed from her home at 500
Myrtle avenue to the observation ward of
the Kings County Hospital yesterday vio-
lently insane. 1t said that her de-
mented condition was brought on through
coming face to face few days ago with
the slayer of her husband, who had been
released from Sing Sing prison.

faithful policemen in the department and
was devoted to his wife and four children
On tile night he sustained his death wound
he had arrested young man named Roach
for stealing a pair of fencing fol 8. While
Horn had Roach in custody and the fencing
foils were under his arms Sweeney 1t was
alleged sneaked up behind him and seiz-
ing one of the fOils drove the sharp point
into the poiceman's back, the weapon pene-
trating the left lung. Then Sweeney
it was alleged, threw the fencing foil down
a sewer. where it was found later. Sweeney
was arrested and afterward was sentenc I'd
to prison for manslaushter. BY good be-
havor he recently liberated.
Mrs. Horn never recovered from the
shock of her husbands death. While she
was out one Gay last "eSh IL was Sdlu lnat
she met Sweeney. 1t seemed to turn her
mind. and when she reached her home she
began to act strangely. She kept exclaim-
ing The murderer is free"
Some time elapsed before the family
learned the cause of her unusual behavior
Mrs. Horns condition continued to get
worse and early yesterday morning she
had a violent spell and an ambulance was
summoned from the Cumba rland Street
Hospital DR.. Stern, who answered the call
found Mrs Horn In such serious con-
dition that he decided to remove her at once
to the hospital.

SToWAWAY LEAPS INTO RIVER.
Handcuffed, he Jumps From Steam
ship and Swims to Liberty.

PHILADELPHIA. August 13.-By jump
ing overheard while handcuffed and living
under South street wharf Walter Durham
a stowaway on the British steamship An
Meta, from Kingston, Jamaica. escaped
the examination of immigration officials
yesterday and safely reached the land of
liberty from which he was in danger of
being deported
Durham, when he was discovered on
board the Annetta, together with two other
stowaways told Capt. Gurie that he was
an American and that there would be no
trouble with the immigration inspectors on
ms account. But he did not tell Capt
Gurie that he was a professional diver and
an expert swimmer. With the other two
stOwaways. who frankly admit ed that thew
We're British subjects, Durham worked for
his passage until the steamship entered the
Delaware river
The stcwaways were then locked I'D to
prevent their escape and thereby subject
the vessel to fine for violation of the i'm
migration laws. When the immigration Of
hcialS came on board at the South street
wharf Capt. Gurie was instructed to bring
the three stowaways to the immigration
station at Washington avenue, that they
might be inspected to see whether or not

ers, and one by one they were allowed to
ascend the narrow step-ladder leading from
the locker in which they had been confined
On the deck officers of the steamship and
immigration inspectors were waiting to
chain the three men together. Durham was
the last prisoner to come up the ladder
and as soon as he stepped on deck he
brushed his fellow prisoners and his guard
aside and jumped over the rail
NO Jail for me-. was his last shout
Officers of the steamship, members of the
crew, immigration Otncials and Dunhams
fellow prisoners rushed to the rail- but
Durham did not come to the surface of the
river and it was in vain that several ropes
and life buoys were thrown overheard
Poor fellow, he must have been desper-
ate. said the spectators, who thought that
Durham surely had drowned and even
criticised re steamship officers for hand
cutting him.
