Moses SiIverman Under $25,0O0 Bonds
 Magistrate Not Inclined to Hold Him
 Hut Police Captain Insists-DOctOr
 Had Attended Both Mrs. SiIverman
 and Her Husband-POlice Hold That
 Personal Grievance Was Avenged.
 New York, Jan 27.-AIoses Silverman, the St. George hack driver, who was arrested after Dr. Charles Wilmot Townsend, a prominent physician, had been shot and mortally wounded in his home in New Brighton, s. l., yester- day. was arraigned to-day, and held in $25,0O0 bail for further examination. Magistrate Marsh was not inclined to hold Silverman, but Police Captain Gallagher insisted. The latter declar- ed in court that while Dr. Townsend was being removed to hospital Town send said in the presence of Lewis Crabtree and detective that Silver man was the man who shot him. The physician's remarks were previously understood to be to the effect that Sil- verman looked like his assailant or that the assailant looked like Silver man. Magistrate Marsh said that if responsible bail for much smaller amount was tentlered he would reopen the case and accept it.
 Coroner's Physician Mord said to- night that Dr. Townsend, ill a state- ment to the coroner, completely exon erated Silvernlan. This was not brought out in court to-day. Dr, Mord was not present, supposing, he said. that Silyerman was not to have been araigned until Monday
 Little light was thrown on the case to-day, although the police continued their investigation. They refuse to en- certain the theory of burglary, and hold to the opinion that a personal grievance was avenged in the physi- clans death.
 Dr. Townsend, who was shot while in bed early yesterday, died at 1:S0 this morning, after intimating that he had i recognized his murderer, but it is gem efally understood he refused to reveal the mans identity.
 Following the death bf her husband at the hospital, Mrs. Townsend collaps- ! ed.
 1 Harry l.. JaneWay, a nephew of pr. l Townsend, speaking for the family to- night said that the story of the shoot ing was retold by Mrs. Townsend aft or she had secured 8 little sleep. It CT she had secured little sleep. Ii awakened by the intruder after he had called upon her husband to get up. As she started up she saw the man point the pistol and fire twice, She exclaimed that the shooter was a cow ard to shoot an unarmed man, and the man turned and left the room.
 Mrs. Silverman to-day said that she | and her husband entertained callers until after midnight Friday night. The l husband went to bed after the visitors left, and did not leave the house again until S:3O Saturday morning. Dr, Townsend, she said, attended her nine months ago. He also attended her hus- band shortly after that, but was never in the house again. Last week she communicated with Dr. Townsend tc engage his services again. He did not call at tho house.
 Mrs. Silverman went to the police to-day, and pleaded for the release ot her husband. She also went to Magis- trate Marsh, but did not succeed ir having the case re-opened.

 Lives--Neither of Them Known Clothing of the Woman of Fine Text ure and She Was of Refined Appear ance--Man's Body Hurled Into Creek and Not Recovered.
 Camden N. J., Jans 27.-With arms entwined, an unknown young man and young woman stood on the tracks of the Pennsylvania Electric railway over Newton Creek early to-day and calmly waited until an electric train ran them down. Both were killed and their bodies were hurled into the water. The motorman of the train saw the pair, but not until he was close upon them. He blew the whistle, but the couple made no move to escape and the mo- torman could not get the train under control until he struck them. The body of the young woman, who was about twenty-five years old, was re- covered and brought to the morgue here. The clothing was of fine texture and she was of refined appearance. The only marks that may lead to identifica- tion are the letters w. C." on a gold watch found on the body. The body of the man has not been recovered.
 The couple had not been seen by any one in the neighborhood of where they were killed, and the authorities have not been able to trace them prior to the moment they appeared before Motor- man Bruden on the bridge. The mo- torman Is positive in his assertion that the couple had every chance to step out of the way of the train, and he says that it is his belief that they planned to die together. The bridge on which the couple met death is about half way between this city and Gloucester and is used only by the electric cars. A few yards away is a foot bridge over Newton Creek, so that it was not nec- essary for the couple to cross the rail- road bridge in order to get over the stream.
 Motorman Bruden Is not able to give a description of the man who was kill ed. The woman had blonde hair and was quite pretty. On her left hand was a plain ring.
