Autopsy Surgeon Reports on
Case of an Aged Man Who
Expired at Almshouse
Authorities of Institution Aver
Heart Disease Caused
Bath Fatality

Police investigation has already be-
ditions at the almshouse may be or
dered by Mayor Taylor as the result
OF the mysterious death at that insti-
tuition Friday night OF John Jones, an
81 year old inmats Of the homo for
the aged Jones was found dead In
bathtub At $40 o'clock Friday night,
and although the officials OF tho instt-
tuition are loud In their assertion that
death was due to heart failure there
is every evidence that Jones was
scalded to death in Tho bath, and re-
port to this effect was made by Au-
topsy Surgeon John r. Clark, who ak
amined the body yesterday at the
morguo.
Jones was formerly q ship oalker.
and had been an inmate OF the homo
since last January, when he was moved
there from Ingleside. He was taken
TO bathroom about s o'clock Friday
night by Thomas Mitchell. an attend
ant, who passed the door 20 minutes
later and found 1t still closed and
locked. Het called Patrick Connolly,
another attendant. and they broke open
the door and found Jones' dead body
seated In the tub. Superintendent
Charles NJ. Wollenberg and Clerk
George Lincoln were quickly summoned
and the body was removed. but was
not taken to the morgue until yester-
day morning.
DR.. Clark. who performed tho au-
topsy,~found the body literally covered
with bad burns, and also found that
the heart was In bad condition. He
gave 1t as his opinion. after thor
ough examination. that the burns were
the actual cause of death, and attribut-
ed the weakness Of the heart to the
natural effects Of old age. He said
that the shock Of scalding water might
have been sufficient to render the VIC
tim helpless at the first plunge into
the tub. and that death might then
have followed. The burns, he said.
were quite serious enough to have been
alone responsible for death.
Superintendent Wollenberg says that
scaiding water was impossible. He
says that when the body was found
Jones was seated with cake Of soap
in one hand and a brush in the other.
and that his head was above the wa
ter. Moreover. he declares that It Is
impossible to get even hot water after
dinner at night at the institution, and
asserts that the water in the tub was
only tepid when he reached tho bath
room 20 minutes after Jones had en-
tered it. Jones. he says. has been in
the habit OF taking bath every other
day since his arrival at the institution
and has always been allowed to take
them alone, though it is the custom for
the attendants to accompany such in
mates as are too weak to help them
selves.
superintendent WoIIenberg also
claimed that the supposed scaids on
Jones legs were in reality ulcers. for
which Jones was treated by the aims

oliver N Moxey, central figure in the
once famous Moxey trial. and who on
his wedding day four years ago was
given q gift OF an estate valued at
s25o,O0e by his wife, is today q street
car conductor on the McAllister line,
not one single dollar Of the fortune fer
which be bettled so hard in the courts
and for which he faced the besmirching
OF his reputation having come to him.
Instead OF the fine apartments which
he once thought were to be his, Moxey
has to put up in a room IN the base
ment OF a fat at S1s Oak street. The
fortune which was once IN his grasp
has flown and all the trouble, time and
worry has up TO the present been for
nsuRht And, as II 70 add 10 the irony
OF the situation, Mrs. Moxey, his aged
wife. Is in Paris living of the proceeds
OF the fortune which she once gave to
him and which was the primal cause
OF the series OF sensations aired IN
Judge Coffey's court
Moxey was formerly an instructor in
Hooyer's school of physical culture at
Tenth and Market streets. To this
school went the elite Of the city. Fash
fonable danes there learned the in
trioacies OF sword play. gilded youths
there developed their chests and among
the pupils was q Mrs. Phillips, an ell
Derby widow from Boston. encumbered
with 100000. Moxey was her private
instructor, and In the course OF time
she developed an affection for him.
Moxey reciprocAted. A wedding was ar
ranged and on the happy day the
widow turned over t25o.ooe OF her es-
tate to her husband
This action brought q howl Of dis
may from the widows children, who
began suit to declare the marriage void
on the ground OF the incompetency OF
the woman. The matter was fought
bitterly in court and finally oompro-
missed. The compromise called for q
division of the property. the widow to
get 80 per cent. Moxey 80 per cent and
the children so per cent.
OF this amount Moxey yesterday de-
clared he never received q single cent,
and has instituted suit against his for
mer attorney. E. c. Chapman, to give
an accounting.
Il don't want this matter aired
sgAin." said he, but II it has TO be I
want the public to understand that IN
all the legal troubles that followed my
wedding Mrs. Moxey was protected by
me. The case looked bad against me,
and though I admit 1 would not have
married her unless she had the money,
I give my word OF honor that I in
tended to treat her right liked her
immensely and there was no reason
why we should not have lived happily.
I am a streetcar conductor because L
must eat. That's ALL
Following the compromise on the
property Mrs. Moxey went east and
then 20 Europe. She has made one or
two visits to the United States since
then, but Moxey has never seen her

When congress meets a Jaw will be
passed giving pension OF $4,000 n
year to Mrs. Cleveland. This annuity
is always, bestowed upon widows of
presidents. Mrs. Garfield is the only
living beneficiary at present.
Cleveland was poor man when he
became president the first time. He
made some money through real estate
Investments In the neighborhood of
Washington. With the savings from
his salary he bought Oak View, which
he occupied for awhile as a summer
home. and other suburban property.
Then came a boom in land values,
and he sold at considerable profit. His
purchases gave fashionable impor.
tance to the localities where they were
made and this alone made prices run
up.
