ner. all colored. were arrested under sus-
picion. The men were locked up at the
fourth precinct station and the woman
sent to the house of detention.
The central Office detectives discovered
evidence which caused the belief that the
story as first reported-that the woman
walked cut to the end of the 18th street
wharf and threw herself into the river
was not true. The stories told by the
three colored persons under arrest were
so conflicting that it was decided to hold
them.
Turner is a cripple and is employed as A
cook on an oyster boat lying at the 7th
street wharf. The detectives received in
formation that he had visited Hams
home Monday night and there met the
Dggs woman. The two men and the
two women are said to have visited the
oyster boat. where they had something
to eat The police say Turner told them
he and Ham went below while the two
women remained on the upper deck On
the contrary. Ham told the police that
the two women also went below deck, but
they went UP again, leaving him and
Turner below. He says he heard a
scream few minutes later and upon
rushing to the deck his wife told him
the Diggs woman had fallen overheard
He plunged In after her. and says she
grabbed him by his leg, but that he was
unable to save her.
james Ccpsey mate of the oyster boat,
told the detectives that he heard the
noise and dove into the river to save
Ham. The story again conflicts at this
point, Hams wife declaring to the police
that she and the other woman were on
the wharf and the latter walked too near
