W|FE-SLAYER Dies;
CASE SUSPICIOUS
DR.. ANDREW cRoPsEY WAS TO
HAVE BEEN SENT TO
CHAIR.

NEW YORK, July 29.-The case OF
the state against Dr. Andrew b. Crop
sey. OF Bath Beach. charged with the
murder of his wife. was stricken from
the docket OF the Coney Island court
today.
Or. Cropsey died suddenly late yes
terday In his cell in the Raymond-st.
Jail. Brooklyn, under suspicious cir
cumstances.
Though the physician who. attend
ed him gave 1t as his opinion that the
murderer died OF heart failure. 1t was
the opinion of several keepers In the
Jail that Cropsey committed suicide
to escape the electric chair.
He was found on the floor or his
cell writhing In great agony. His lips
were blue and his eyes were set and
there were other symptoms he had
been poisoned. The fact that Cropsey
had visitors during the day led TO the
suspicion that he might have obtained
drug with which to end his life.

FAIL TO FORCE ANY
ADMISSIONS FROM GOULD

NEW YORK, July 29.--Frank Gould
was put through sharp examination
when he was placed on the witness
stand by the defense In the alleged
conspiracy plot TO manufacture d.
vorce evidence against him. He was
questioned at length as to his &C
ouaintance with Miss Bessie De Voe'
whose name has figured In the case,
but the most damaging admission the
lawyers could draw from him was the
fact that he had met Miss De Voc and
knew who she was.
Mrs. Ben Teal. wife OF one OF the
most prominent producing stage man
ayers in the country who is the prin-
cipal figure In the case. was In court
with her husband. Harry s. Mousley,
the private detective who was arrest'
ed with Mrs. Teal. was also on hand.
Miss Mabel McCauslan the milliners
apprentice, whose story led to the ar.
rest OF Mrs. Teal. Miss Fleming and
Detective Mousley took the stand and
repeated the story of the alleged con
spiracy.
