NOT C0RN1SH'S BODY
NEW YORK MURDER MYSTERY
STILL uNsoLvED.

NEW YORK, July 29.-AIthough the
body of a murdered man which was
found In Gravesend bay last Sunday. was
believed to be that Of Harry s. Cornish.
one Of the central figures in a mysterious
murder case Of few years ago. the iden-
tification was subsequently disproved. Mr.
Cornish. who could not be found at first,
on seeing the published Identification,
called up the newspapers and several OF
his friends and asked that the report OF
his death be corrected.
The mistaken Identification was made
by Crane. who was formerly employed a.
q detective in the murder trial and who
said he knew Mr.. Cornish well enough to
be positive that he was the man whose
body lay in the morgue. Mr.. Cornish
who had several concessions In Dreamland
Park, could not be found. and the identi-
feation was accepted as authentic until
he was heard from.
The condition Of the body left no doubt
the man had been murdered. Three OF
his teeth had been knocked out by q
blow and there was a great cash In the
back of the head as II caused by a
Ratchet. The police believe that the man
was struck down from behind. robbed
ana the body thrown into the bay in ar
effort to cover up the crime.
The police have no clue to the identity
Of the murdered man.

COAXING THE KITTY
so THE PotICE PUNCHED NINE
MERRY GAMBLERS.

About O'clock last night a couple Of
unfeeling policemen from the first precinct
broke UP a lively poker game in a room
at the Regent Hotel ana arrested David
Howard: who says he lives at 4s2 10th
street northwest. and eight other men.
In the Police Court this morning Howard,
held as the principal. demanded jury
trial ana was ogiven his liberty under
$500 bond. The other men have been
summoned to appear az witnesses.
The raid created some little stir In and
around the Regent. The first precinct
people have had q pretty we'll defined
idea for some time that heavy game
was running In the hotel. but they could
not get next sufficiently to start any
thing. Last night, however, they got Q
straight tip somewhere, and the raid was
pulled OF In q hurry.
When Sergt. Lehman and Detective
Klinedinst blew into the room where the
game was in progress they found nine
shirt-slseved citizens sitting around q
table betting their heads of.
Keep your seats. gentlemen, SAID
Lehman, soothingly, noting movement
toward tho fire escape by several OF the
bunch.
They kept them. and the procession was
rounded up and marched down to the first
precinct station, Klinedist bringing UP the
rear with 4 hand satchel full of chips
rApresenting about 500 in real money.
The police say they have met most OF
the crowd while on similar excursions IN
the past. as.r - :

CRoPsEY, WIFE SLAYER, DEAD
END ColGES IN JAIL CELL FROM
DILATIoN OF HEART.
2Smorse tor His Crime Thought "a
Have Contributed to His Death.
Poison Report Denied.

NEW YORK. July 29.-Dr. Andrew
Bergen Cropsey. the veterinary sur
geon who shot and killed his wife at
their home. 1749 s4th street. Van Pelt
Manor. Brooklyn. July 81. died suddenly
in. his cell at Raymond street jail yes
terday afternoon from dilation Of the
heart.
It was said at the jail yesterday that
DR.. Cropseys death was due In meas
ure to remorse brought on when he be-
gan to realise the seriousness OF his
crime. A. few days since he told a friend
that he remembered nothing about
shooting his wife until after he was
locked up. and he was overcome with
grief. Within the past few days he had
tie boys. and he appeared like one dis
tracted.
Stricken in Corridor.
Deputy Warden Kane said that DIR.
Cropsey was taking his usual walk in
the corridor on the main floor when he
became weak and was taken to his cell
DR.. Keschner, the jail physician. was
called in. and Dennis Donohue, a trusty.
acted as nurse for Dr. Cropsey. In the
afternoon he became unconscious and
died shortly before 4 o'clock in the af-
ternoon.
AS far as could be learned there was
nothing suspicious about the death OF
DIR. Cr6psey. With the announcement
OF his death came q. report th-t he had
taken poison which was handed to him
in some mysterious way. This was de-
MED emphatically at the Jail. and DR..
keschner declared that he had died
from dilation OF the heart caused by
overindulgence In stflnulants.
Stimulants Cut OF.
When DR.. Cropsey was confined in the
Raymond street Jail he told the physi-
clan that he had been accustomed to
take several drinks OF whisky during
the day and night and that he also
smoked necessarily. These stimulants
were cut OF when he was locked up
and his heart was weakened.
July "a Mrs Phebe M. Lake. sister
OF DR.. Cropsey. began an action against
DR.. CrOpsey for letters Of administration,
granting q half interest to his children
in the property at New Utrecht which
was held I'm entirety" by him and his
wife. In her application she alleged
that the motive of DR.. Cropsey's crime
was to deprive his wife Of any interest
in the property
DR.. Cropsey was the son Of the late
Andrew J. Cropsey, one OF the Oldest
living residents in New Utrecht. He
was also related to Col. Cropsey of
Brooklyn.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 29-The general
financial situation and the conditions
which have prevailed in the stock mar
ket were in rather striking contrast with
those Of yesterday. IN the former there
were few developments of any importance
and in the second q generally sagging
tendency replaced the firm tone noted yes
terday.
Misleading advices from France to the
effect that a prominent American CAPT.
talist had been seriously injured In an
automobile accident played some part In
the early decline in prices. but the cor
rection of the report brought with 1t lit
tie improvement.
The market showed none of the strik-
ing movements in prices observed yester-
day, although. after all. its tone must be
designated as irregular, rather than weak.
Marketwise the only contribution OF i'm
portance to the days situation was the
publication after the close Of business
yesterday. of the quarterly statement of
the United States Steel Corporation. The
earnings reported were considerably in
excess of the highest preliminary esti-
mates. and what was of more importance
was tIldl SilCc thc COMPUTATION VI SAAS
figures the business Of the company has
been restored to - per cent of Its normal
capacity. This exhibit is in striking con-
trast with that made just one year ago,
when the public was informed for the
first time that the business of the cor
poration had fallen away in the neighbor
hood Of p ger cent. At the same time
the United States Steel shares moved to-
day In common with the general market,
with. however, comparative strength dis
played by the preferred stock.
Generally speaking, the industrial and
f1rnfer than the railway share list, and the
copper stocks were particularly strong.
American Smelling was also decidedly
steady.
Railway List.
In the railway list the strongest features
were Missouri Pacific. Northern Pacific
and the Wheeling and Lake Erie shares
The last named advanced extensively on
reports that conferences were In progress
which would probably result In the con-
summation of arrangements for providing
for the requirements Of the company Au-
gust I. A further advance took place in
the Great Northern ore certificates.
American stocks were irregular In the
London market, and operations here by
the arbitrage houses were In light volume
showing an excess Of purchases Of about
10000 shares.
Money market and foreign exchange
conditions again showed little alteration,
and the grain market moved irregularly.
