SAD CASE OF NELLIE QUINN.
PAST LIFE OF WOMAN MURDERED
IN NEW YORK REVEALED.
Member Of Respected Family But
Ruined by Drink-Motive Of XIII.
ing Still Obscure.

New York, Oct. 4.-The mystery
surrounding the antecedents of Nellie
Quinn, the former City hospital nurse
on Randalls island, was dispelled
Wednesday, but the motive for her
murder is as obscure as when her
horribly bruised body was found in q
furnished room house here Tuesday.
The victim was once member Of a
respected family of Boston. While
still in her teens she married William
Quinn. Later they separated and
Quinn came to New York Four years
ago she followed him here and q
reconciliation was effected. Later
they again separated. This much and
more the police learned, but even the
arrest Of the man who admits having
been with the woman on the day she
was killed, has failed to make clear
any plausible reason for her death
and the subsequent attack upon the
body.
George Kramer, the Blackwells
island plumber, who had lived the last
few days with the woman, was COM
PEELED to view the body at the morgue
Wednesday and later was arraigned in
the Tombs court as a suspect in the
homicide. The prisoner, who appeared
dazed, told the magistrate that he
could not remember anything that he
had done recently. He was remanded
to the coroner, before whom he was
given an immediate hearing, and was
held for further examination. It is
likely that Kramer's sanity will be the
subject Of an inquiry.
John H. Weyburn, superintendent
Of the Jerry McCauley mission. said
that Mrs. Quinn had lived at the mis-
sion for more than two years in an eff
fort to live down an appetite for liquor.
He added: 1T is one Of the saddest
cases that have come to my attention
in a long experience in mission work.
If ever an effort was made to bring
anyone back to right life, it was In
Mrs. Quinn's case. Her husband
whom I know very well, did all he
could but finally she was committed
| to the House of the Good Shepherd. 3

MAKES COLOR PHOTOGRAPHS.
Antoine Lumiere, inventor of Proc
ess, Arrives at New York.

IS
h New York, Oct 7-Antoine Lumiere
of France, hailed as the father of real
color photography, has arrived here
on business connected with his inter-
ests in this country.
Color Photography, said Mr..
Lunliere, lis an assured fact. The
great step has been made in the re-
production of the pictures on glass,
and the printing on paper can be cas-
lily achieved. 1t will only be a short
time before it is done. The result
will, of course, not be SO clear as that
which is now obtained on glass, for
the reason that it must be accom-
plished by means Of reflected light"
The first real photograph is yet to
be taken in the United States, and
will probably be prepared by the in.
ventor himself.

Proves Washington Lied.

Washington, Oct. 4-George Wash
ington told at least one lie, if records
discovered in Fairfax county, Virginia,
are to be relied upon. In the report of
the grand jury rendered May 81, 1860,
George Washington, among others, is
presented" for failing to enter his
wheeled carriage" for taxation. AS
the property holder was required to
swear to list of his taxable property,
no other inference can be drawn, say
the critics, than that the father of
his country prsvaricated about hil
holdings. I.

 Nothing of a sensational nature was brought out by any of the witnesses. although they testified to the cruel treatment of patients.
 Mss Crump. the star witness of the morning, was recalled. and stated pos- Killed was named Mrs. Allen. The ob- Jecf in recalling this witness was rec vealed when counsel for the asylum Authorities made the statement before the committee. that no woman by the name of Mrs. Allen had ever died while an inmate of the institution. and that the only woman by that name ever con- lined there was now alive.
 The Committee adjourned at o'clock to meet in Mont gomery Tues day As the committee Nvas appointed under resolution requiring them to feport> back to the present session Of the Legislature, and as the committee now considers 1t impossible to hear all the evidence in the limited space of
 
 action will be pursued by them next. 1t is possible that the legislature may recess for an indefinite period in orde r to allow the investigation to be pur- Qued
 The first witness called this after noon was Miss Mabel OBrien of 1917 avenue c. Birmingham. She testi- fled to having been employed as nurse at the asylum in 1892. She said that she had remained at the asylum in that capacity for about six months. She stated that she had seen a patient choked by nurse named Ackie Brown She had noticed possibly one other instance of cruelty but said that all the nurses were cross. She stated that the patients had plenty to eat at that time, but that it was poorly pre- pared. Steak and coffee had been served and patients and occasionally biscuit, although corn bread was usual ly served in place of biscuits. strings from torn sacks were some times found in the food. \ couldn't stand to see the patients treated cruelty, even If they were insane" she said.
