18th street. Bath Beach killed himself yester-
day morning by gashing his throat with :; broken
bottle. He was found in the back ward of bis
home at a. by his wife Annie living in the
entirely nude The wife's cries attracted
the attention Of the neighbors, who carried him
into the house. He was still alive and Dr. e II.
Mayne Of Bay 18th street was hastily sum
moned, but few minutes after the doctors mr.
rival Raymond died.
His clothing was found in the barn. and in the
pocket Of the coat was a note saying that he was
going to freeze to death. The police think that
he found the freezing process too SLOW and de-
cided to hasten his death by gashing his throat
with the broken bottle. They scoff at any idea
of 1oul play.
Mrs. Raymond says that her husband left
home at 10 p. m. Sunday. saying that he was
going for a walk That is the last she saw of
him until she found him lying nude I'm the snow

ARMY TEST CASE BEGUN
Officer and Soldier on Trial for
Killing CiUiHan.

PittsbuTg, Jan. 2S.-Testimony TO show that
William Crowley. after he had cried out III
give up: don't shoot. fellOws!" was shot by Pr1-
vate John Dowd upon orders from Lieutenant
Ralph w. Drury of the United States army. was
given at the trial Of these two men for murder
to-day. The case is regarded the most i'm
portant Of its kind that has been tried in a dec
ade. The commonwealth is prosecuting and the
government is defending the soldiers Some
sensational testimony for the prosecution. met
by equally surprising hints as to the line OF de-
fence to be followed. brought out in the
cross examination Of witnesses
The particular question at issue concerns the
right of a United States soldier to kill another
man outside of federal property who is suspected
OF having committed crime within government
property.
A jury was procured to-day. and just before
adjournment Of court the prosecution finished
Its case. Counsel for the defence announced
that their case would be taken up tomorrow
and would cover several days.
The defence. as outlined TO the jury, sets up
that the theft OF copper from the arsenal by
Crowley would be proved; that witnesses for
the prosecution contradicted themselves; that
the fatal shooting was done after repeated warn
ings to halt; that Crowley would have escaped
had he not been shot Just when he was. and
that. finally. this will be proved by Crowley's
dying statement.
Crowley, who was only eighteen years old. and
several other boys said to have been caught
stealing inside the arsenal grounds on Septem-
Der TO- 1903, pursued by soldiers. and
Crowley was shot after he had got considera-
BILE distance outside the arsenal limits.
Before he died Crowley made a statement, in
which he denied he was inside the arsenal. but
claimed. instead that he sitting on a door
step, became frightened at the sight OF the on
rushing soldiers and ran He said he heard a
command to halt. that he did halt and was in
stantly shot
For days following the shooting the civil and
military authorities had frequent clashes, Lieu
tenant Drury refused to surrender Dowd. and
the civil authorities dared not force their de-
mands by entering the arsenal. The case was
finally taken the United States Supreme
Court where II decided 10 turn the men
over to the civil authorities. Lieutenant DTury
and Private Dowd surrendered, and were re-
leased in $4,000 bail.
The commonwealth is represented by Robert
g. McElroy. First Assistant District Attorney:
Major John Biddle Porter. from the Judge advo-
Gates office at Washington, was present 10 su-

BUILDING CODE FIGHT.
Protests 4gailst appointment of
Commission on Re11sion.

A hght is expected in the Board OF Aldermen
to-day when tho Republicans try to put through
a resolution for the confirmation of the ap-
pointment of a building code commission. Lit
tie Tim Sullivan the Tammany leader OF the
board busy yesterday at the City Hall
coaching his men for the fight. The Republicans
last May passed Il resolution providing for n
commission 10 revise the building code. The
resolution slept In Alderman Grifenhagen's
Committee on Buildings until last week. when
the alderman announced the appointment OF the
following as the commissions Charles H. Israels
and Electus d. Litchfield. architects: Rudolph
+. Miller, Charles .. Brown and Charles q.
Smith, engineers: George Vassar and Theodore
Starrett. builders, and George Harsch and
Thomas +. Cosgrove, mechanics
These men met Mr. Grifenhagen's committee
at the City Hall yesterday, and he told them
TO be on hand at the meeting or the board
to-day, as he expected there would be a fight
over their approval
Alderman KennealIy, representing Charles F.
Murphy's district. yesterday protested against
thC appointment Of the commission He said
that the board would ignore the action of the
Committee on buildings. The newly appointed
commissioners told MIR. GrifenhageH they We're
ready to serve. Charles II. Israes has been
chosen president Of the commission.
Tammany contractors want chance to do a
pointment of a commission which is likely to
recommend building code which will make IL
more difficult for any of them to continue doing
crooked work
