second street went to the YorIwille police
court yesterday to appear against Mrs.
Ellen Reid Of OPT First avenue, whose arrest
she caused on Saturday night. Magistrate
Cornell said he couldn't see any evidence
rejecting on the accused.
Mrs. Piaut said she had lost 30 900 In cash
and 5000 worth OF jewelry and the reason
she had for causing the arrest Of the other
woman was that she had been in her home
on Friday. The complainant's husband
was in the Wholesale meat business up to
about seven months ago. when he failed.
The complainant said that her husband
gave her 5000 several months ago.
She put it in a wallet and deposited the
wallet in a hatbox which she placed among
her dresses in her bedroom. Her jewelry was
in the same room in a shopping bag. She
last saw the jewels on Thursday. II was on
Saturday that she learned that the iewelry
was gone. Mrs. Reid had been coming to
her home to do hOusewOrl for her and had
been there Friday.
When she went TO the Fast Fifty-first

commander OF the coast defences in tho
vicinity OF Boston, was due 70 the fifteen
mile horseback test ride ordered by Prsai-
dent Roosevelt. which Col. Walker made
ae Fort Ethan Allan, Vt. was the declara-
ton to-day OF Dr. Ben H. Metoaf OF Win
throp, who was called in TO attend Col.
Walker last Tuesday night. He was called
too late to save. Col Walkers life.
Col Walker had been suffering from
heart trouble for six years" said DIR. Met
calf to-day. The medical board knew
this and they should have forbidden him
to take the ride. II undoubtedly fastened
his death. I..H
When Col. Walker returned from Vermont
he took up his duties again. He was taken
i'll Monday night. Tuesday night he died
OF inflammation Of the valves OF the heart
IL 10 known that the reason Col. Walker
did not ask TO be excused from the ride was
the fear that he would be- retired. Col.
Walker was a heavy man, weighing 72s
pounds. The record Of death at Winthrop
shows heart failure as the cause Of death.
This coinOides with DIR. Metcalgs state
ment. At the fort the army death return
gives ptomaine poisoning as the cause OF
death. DR.. Metcalf declares there was not
the slightest evidence Of poisoning.
