THE PAYRoW MURDER.
Strong Suspicion Attaches to Two
MISSING Men-Seen at Hotel.

Boston, July 23.-The police officials,
in the light Of Investigations into the
conduct and history of George Leak,
colored youth, are satisfied that he,
with q companion. known as "Red
Derry. know something of the murder
of Mrs. Emma o. Payrow. who was
killed in her suite at the Hotel Lafay-
cite on Tuesday afternoon and are
equally certain that the motive which
prompted the crime was robbery, a
large amount of jewelry and what
money there was in the rooms having
disappeared.
II is known, the police say, that
about q month ago Leak and Derry
talked of rings, jewelry and money in
the possession of a woman named
Downey, Ga name sometimes used by
the dead woman), which was not diff
cult of access.
The evidence at hand, Chief Watts
says, shows that the pair were togeth-
err on the day of the murder and that
about 10 o'clock they were seen to APP
prOach the Hotel Lafayette, Leak en-
tering, while Derry remained outside
on the steps. Less than a half hour
later Leak came out, called Derry and
they went off together. At this point
the Investigations of the police failed
to further progress and their efforts
arc now directed toward those places
frequcntcd by the two men.

SUICIDE THEORY KILLED.
Doctors AgreeThat Hazel Drew Was
Dead When Body Entered Water.

Troy, N. Y. July 23-The suicide
theory which has been revived from
time to time since Hazel Rrcw's body
was found in Teal Pond, has been dis
PEELED by the statement of District
Attorney O'Brien following a confer
ence yesterday with the physicians who
performed the autopsy. The district
attorney says the physicians agree that
the girl was dead when her body was
thrown into the water: that death re-
suited from a blow on the head and
that nothing would be gained by ex-
humng the body for further examina-
ton.
The physicians said the autopsy
showed that there was no reason why
the girl should have sought to conceal
the nature of her illness at the home
of her uncle, William Taylor. in jan
uary, when she was attended by her
sister law, Mrs. Joseph Drew.
The coroners inquest will be held at
Averhill Park next Monday.

Peculiar Fatality on Bat.'
t|eship Mississippi
Seaman Henry's Neckerchiei
Caught In Training Cogs
And Ne Is Drawn Into the Machinery
And Neck Broken.

Newport, r. l., July 23.-Joseph j
Henry, an ordinary seaman and pow
der pasSer on board the new battleship
Mississippi, was killed during gun
drill in one of the forward eight-inch
turrets today. His neckerchief caught
in the training cogs of one of the guns
and Henry was drawn into the ma
chinery and his neck was broken. Cap
tain Fremont of the Mississippi order
ed an immediate investigation. Henry
was 10 years of age and enlisted at
Memphis, Tenn, in Octobert last. His
next of kin is a cousin, Charles Nc
Caslin of Jackson, Tenn.
The Mississippi is at anchor in the
outer harbor. Henry was standing be-
low the heavy breach portion of one
of the guns in the ammunition pas
saseway when the turret captain Or
dered the piece elevated to range of
5000 yards. There was an instant whir
of electric machinery and a grinding
Of cogs as the big rifle began to train
upward. AS the breech came down,
Henry's neckerchief or sailors tie
caught in the cogs. Then his blouse
was caught by the closing teeth of the
wheel and before he could call out an
alarm he had been so far drawn into
the machinery that his neck was brok-
en-. No one in the turret heard the
slightest sound from beneath the gun
The rifle kept training to the 5000
yard mark and it was not until it had
come to a standstill that the accident
could be noted.
Captain Fremont of the Mississippi
was on board at the time and ordered
an immediate and full investigation.
He also directed that a general order
be issued that no member of a gun
crew should enter turret or ammuni-
ton passage wearing a blouse. The
accident, according to the officers of
the ship, was another illustration Of
the Appropriateness of the enlisted
mems uniform, the blouse and the
flowing trouser ends having long been
condemned by officers as a dress for
men employed at work in the maze of
machinery that make up a modern first
class battleship. The neckerchief,
which was the primary cause of to-
days fatal accident, is relic Of the
days of long ago.
Reports of the accident were imme-
uldtcly forwarded TO tne navy Depart
ment at Washington by Captain Ere
mont. Henry was born in st. Louis, 10
years ago.
The Mississippi is equipped with the
new 8-inch turrets in which the old
system of ammunition hOists is aban-
dOned in favor of the more rapid han
ding of powder and shell by hand, the
men being stationed one above the
other on stages leading from handling
room to turrct. Henry was at the top
of the chain today when the accident
occurred.
