HEARING CREATES SENSATION.
Earle Cotton and Tom HOlderiieId Held
for Smith Murder.

/ of the Smith murder case con-
sumed about four hours time to-
day and then was adjourned by
Justice Badger until 8 a. m. Mon
day. There is a queer compiled
ton, growing out of a conflict be-
tween the police justice and Coro-
ner Separk, and the latter's con-
stable served warrants on several
persons, including Ed Chavis,
the negro hackdriver, while these
witnesses were in the lobby of
the court room. This has caused
quite a stir and no little comment.
The first sensation of the day
was the entry into the court room
of Mrs. E. W. smith. the widow.
with her being j. T. Serey, the
manager of the Whiteoak Coal
Company, for which Smith work
ed, and Alexander Sands, attor-
ney for the company. Both of
these men had been here pre-
viously. William B. Jones and
Attorney Sands assisted City At
torney William B. Snow in the
prosecution, 1t was stated that
there was no charge against
Red" Hopkins. clerk in Earle
Cotton's restaurant in the ten
darloin, but Hopkins was present
and in custody. William Taylor,
the first witness, found Smiths
clothes at the side of the stone
quarry early Sunday morning.
NEGRO COOKS STORY.
The second sensation of the
hearing was the evidence of
Richard Williams, the negro
cook at Earle Cotton S restaurant.
He said that on the night of the
crime he was at work; Cotton
was there all night and Holder
field all day Saturday. Williams
saw a stranger enter at 1870 Sat
urday evening. wearing a grey
overcoat and unDuttoned shoes.
with no collar, tie or hat visible.
This man asked Cotton where he
could get a drink. Cotton didn't
know; wished he had one him
self. Stranger went in back
room. Holderfeld was lying on
bed, Cotton sitting up. When
man went in back room door was
open. After he got in the door
was closed. Red" Hopkins
was in front part Of cafe. About
twenty-five minutes after Holder
field went out. About fifteen
minutes after Holderfeld went
out Ed Chavis came in and order
ed steak. Before witness could
cook steak HoldtrfeId came back,
Holderfeld went into the bach
room. Cotton came out, wen: lC

Bullet Intended for Opponent En-

err, Who Probably Will Die.

Gelsomio Cardilchio, IS years old, of
13 Cutler street, is in the City Hospital
with an ugly bullet wound in his stom-
ach, and it probably will cause his
death.
The shot was fired by Donate Puc-
clio, 20 years old, of 1S6 Eighth avenue
and, it is said, was meant for P~asquale
Gonello. 26 years old, of 10 Garside
street.
The shooting took place in Lorenzo
Marcantuno's saloon at Is Cutler street
shortly after midnight, and was caused
by a row between Puccillo n ION
clio over a game of cards. Cardilchio
did 10 take part in the game, but was
a spectator and sat at the same table
with the players.
Accused of Cheating.
Pucclllo accused Gonello of cheating,
and the latter replied that he was not
and slapped Puccillo in the face.
Puccillo drew a revolver from his
pocket, and Gonello slid under the
table. Puccillo, blinded with rage,
fired. The bullet struck Cardilchio in
the stomach as he was getting up from
his chair.
In an instant the place vas in an up
roar, and in tho excitement Puccillo
escaped.
Cardilchio was carried to a drug
store at Factory street Eighth
VENUE by the saloonkeeper and
Gonello. Then the police were notified.
Cardilchio was taken from the drug
store to the hospital in an unconscious
condition.
The reserves from the Second Pre-
clnct police station were turned out.
and search of the neighborhood was
made for Puccillo. and were ably as
sisted by the saloonkeeper and Gonello.
About 1880 O'Clock this morning Plain
clothesman John J.. Early heard that
the would-be murderer vas seen to go
into his boarding house in Eighth ave
nue.. Early went to the house and
found Puccillo under the mattress on
the bed. He pulled him out and found
he was fully dressed. but could not find
the revolver.
Puccillo was taken to the police sta
ton and later a search was made Of
his trunk, and a new dirk knife was
found.

Puccillo was arrested by Patrolman

Confessing that h was a victim or

piteousness that attracted the crowded
courtroom in the First Criminal Court
today, Maude Reever. of III Mulberry
street, asked Judge Howell to e her
away for six months in the hope that
she could wean herself away from the
use of drink.
"It is seldom that such a case comes
before me-" said Judge Howell as he
saw the careworn face of the prisoner.

admitted it.

SCENT MURDER
PLOT IN DEATH
OF TWO BY FIRE
Burlington County Police Think
Flick and Girl Companion
Were Waylaid.
Especial to the Evening star.l

BORDENTOWN. March 9.-The po-
lice are conducting a searching inves-
tigation into the mysterious death of
William FIeck, a railroad engineer on
a shifting engine in the Roebling iron
plant, ard Miss Lydia Carter, of this
city, whose charred bodies were dis
covered in the ruins of the old and
abandoned English farm house near
Florence yesterday.
The police think that the two young
persons nae been attacked, slain and
their bodies carried to the house, which
was then fired in an attempt to con-
ceal the crime.
Another theory advanced today is
thai the victims had been in the habit
of making the untenanted farm house
a trysting place and that an oil stove
there had been upset and they had
met death while asleep.
When the fire was discovered the
Roeblings volunteer fire department
hurried to the scene. There was a
lack of water and the flremen were I'M
able to do much more han watch the
building burn. When the fire had
burned itself out a search of the ruins
was MADE OnQeF u PIE VI CIdlISu
tlmbers IN the cellar were found the
two bodies.
By the. side of the mans body was a
key ring Nearing the name of William
Fleck. Fleck's name appears on the
pay roll of the Roebling plant as an
engineer employed on a shifting engine.
Around the neck of the dead girl was
a metal necklace marked Lydia Carter.
Both Fleck and Miss Carter are miss
ing from their homes in Roebling, and
the authorities have no doubt that the
bodies are those of the missing couple.
Coroner Bishing, of Florence, has
begun a new>investigation as the result
of new evidence adduced today. Yes
terday a coroner's jury, after hearing
the first evidence, gave a verdict of ac-
cidental death.
