Anxious to Know Why Young
Smith Sought Medicine on
Night of Her Death.
EXCITED VISIT TO DRUG
STORE NOT YET EXPLAINED
Smith and Gunderman, Last
Who Saw Girl Alive, Like
ly to Be Detained.

TROY, n. Y, July 15.-There Is ex
pectation today of speedy developments
that will lead to the apprehension of
the murderer of Hazel I. Drew. whose
body was found Saturday In an old mill
pond near a lonely road leading from
Averill Park to Taborton. Bit by bit
the authorities have been weaving a net
of circumstantial evidence into which
they hope to enmesh the slayer of the
young woman.
The district-attorney today sent out
officers with instructions to bring in
Frank Smith, II years old, and Rudolph
Gunderman, 49, for an interview.
The postmaster at Averill Park in
formed the prosecutor that late on the
night of July 6, the last Miss Drew was
seen alive, he saw young Smith run eX-
citedly into town and try to get into
the drug store. which was closed. On
being questioned, he said he wanted to
get some medicine quickly. that some
one was very sick. He could not get IL,
as the druggist had gone away, and de-
parted In the direction of Tears Pond
as rapidly as he had come.
The officers knew that he and Gun
derman had met Mss Drew alone on the
road from Averill Park to her uncle's
place, near Teal's Pond, that evening.
but Smith and Gunderman failed to say
anything about Smiths hurried trip to
the Averill Park drug store The man
and the boy declared that they were
driving when they met the young
woman walking and just stopped to
pass the time. the girl telling them she
was on her way to visit her uncle, Will
lam Taylor.
After the meeting with Smith and
Gunderman the authorities have been
unable to find anyone else who saw
Miss Drew. Both the boy and the man
have been under constant surveillance
and now II is believed that they will be
detained until all the known acts are
adequately explained.

MOTHER INJURED
NEWSbOy GASPS,
REMINDING HOPE
Then Little Milton Ritter, Unc0n.
scious Again, Brings New Tears
to Watching Womans Eyes.

In the City Hospital, in one of the
public wards, is a unconscious littla
boy, and by his side sits a woman, sur
rounded by nurses and doctors, who
are watching intently one of the most
interesting cases they ever had at the
hospital.
Fifteen days ago Milton Ritter, a
newsboy, Il years old, was taken to
the institution. He had been struck
by an automobile, driven by Walter
Z. Garrabrandt, chauffeur, In front Of
garage in Thirteenth avenue, near
Ninth street. The hospital doctors
saw that Milton had sustained concus-
sion of the brain, two fractured ribs,
internal injuries and skull fracture.
It was thought that he would die In a
short time.
Since then his condition has been no
worse, or no better. His case perplexes
the entire hospital staff. He lies on
the little white bed, opening his lips
once in a while just long enough to
frame the word mother" and lapses
again into Inconsistencies. His
mother, never tiring, smiles as she sits
beside the boy, and once more begins
to hope Then hope will seem futile.
but again there comes the whispered
word mother" and again 1t cheers
her. And so it has been since the day
they took Milton to the hospital.
There is talk of trepanning the skull
as a last chance to save the little fell
lows life.

passed away after an Illness of four
months. !.
Two chiidren. the only survivors of the
big family of fourteen, are sorrowing at
the bier of their sister, who will be
buried tomorrow beside her father,
mother and nine sisters and brothers.
Strangely enough the eldest survivor.
Miss Rose Ansley. had a presentiment
last Thursday night that her mother
and sister would die. On Friday morn
ing she fearfully discussed her dream
with her mother and younger sister. A
few hours after, the mother, exhausted
with the long vigil and broken With
grief. was attacked by complaint that
necessitated her removal to ST. Mary's
Hospital that night. Before going she
went to the room of her stricken daugh-
| ter, bade her a fearful goodby and
was then carried away to the hospital.
! An operation was performed there,
but too late, as her troubles had rem
dered her unfit to survive the shock
of the operation, and she died Satur-
day afternoon.
Her body was placed in one room of
the house, while in nearby room was
| the sick child.
Time and time again the child asked
that her mother be brought to her,
and even the Rev. Matthias j. Mac
Donald, acting pastor of st. Johns r.
c. Church. Orange, who has gone
through many death-bed scenes, could
not bring himself to tell the girl that
her mother was dead In her last
words the child begged that her mother
be brought to her.
Tomorrow six little girls of the Chill
dren of Mary Society of ST. Johns
Church will carry her body from her
home and into the church, where the
/ last funeral rites will be performed,
and then to the final resting place in

mates of the girl will be in attendance
also.
The long series of deaths began six

| father, the first man to have an ice
route in Orange, died. Exactly one
year before the mother died James.

Seven weeks before that Harry, aged

ROW OVER CITY
HALL LECTURE
ROOM GETS HOT

DIR. Poland and the Board of Educa-
ton committee on buildings, grounds
and repairs ordered School Architect
Edward Guilpert to take possession OF
the disputed lecture room in the City
Hall yesterday.
The rightful possession Of the room
has been in question lately. The Board
of Education lays claim to the room
because it Is said its use was granted
them by the City Hall Commission.
When Chancellor James E.
Howell failed to remember any such
allotment, DIR. Poland laid claim to
the room on the ground that possess
sion was nine points of the law. The
aldermen contest this encroachment. as
they term 1t.
The School Board committee voted
to employ Edwin S. Richards, of 4S
Murray street, and A. %. Gilbert. of 236
Sixth avenue, at 500 and $165 a month
respectively as draughtsmen in the
architects department. AS the ap-
proval of the entire board must be
first gained the men will not be en-
gagged until August 1.

5. BOY MAKES GREAT
RUN IN 0LYMP|CS
Completes with Best of Worlds
Long-Distance Men and Fin
ishes Well Near Front.

LONDON, July 15.-John L. Eisele, of
Newark, the Princeton and New York
Athletic Club runner, surprised the
world this afternoon at the fourth
Olympiad by running a remarkable race
with the crack Englishmen in the
three-mile contest.
This race was long ago conceded to
the Britons, it being their surest vic
tory. but it was believed that if any
American would be at all in the run
ming it would be Bonhag.
But the Newark youth forged ahead
of his teammates, led the world for
while, and held his way with the win
ners to the end. He was rendered a
great ovation by the surprised speta-
tors when he finished fourth. England
won the race.
The English team was composed or

A. Dull, University of Michigan; j. L..
Eisele, Princeton and New York Ath-
letic Club: H l.. Trube, Cornell and
New York Athletic Club, and Harvey
w. Cohn, Irish-American Athletic Club.
The French team consisted of four men
only.
At the crack of the pistol Deakin,
Robertson, Coales and Tilson Jumped
to the front, with Bonhag fifth. Coming
into the home stretch on the first lap,
however, another wearer of the stars
and stipes, the long striding Eisele,
cme up alongside of Bonhag and took
sixth place. Both men were running
easily with plenty of reserve. France
already was out of the race. Bouin,
who ran so well yesterday, retired be-
fore the conclusion Of the first lap.

English Champion Challenges.

After concluding the first circle Eisele
went to the front, but Deakin. the Eng
lish cross country champion, chal-
lenged for the place, and getting the
pole, led the way for his teammates.
BY this time the field had divided
into two sections, Eisele leading the
second, with Dull and Cohn close at
hand. and Trube and Bonhag bringing
up the rear. Eisele was not satisfied
with this and went up to the first
section. When he got there he ap-
parently was worrying over the other
Americans, for he kept looking back
at them But he hung on the four
Englishmen. with whom he was lead
ing the second section by forty yards.
The second section was made up of
Bonohag, Dull Cohn. Hallows, the OK
ford crack. and Trube, now in the
order named,
Risele apparently was the only man
who could compete with the English
men at their own game of long dis
tance running He took second place
in the sixth lap, and for this he got
q great cheer from the American con-
tingent; but he could not keep this
place, and soon dropped back to fourth.
Quite undaunted however, the plucky

boGhood of II City ..s

Frank Shercliff, alias Sherman W.
Norris, who made such a sensational
escape from Sheriff Bonner and depu-
ty Of Leadville. while being brought
to the penitentiary here Wednesday
night, has been seen by two or three
people on the outskirts Of South
Canon during the last twenty-four
hours and it is believed that he can
not very much longer elude the Off
GERS, a half a dozen of whom are in
search of him.
Shortly after O'Clock Thurday af-
ternoon while Ford Catlin, the To-
year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Harry
driving the cows home from the mesa
west of Greenwood cemetery he saw
a man hiding behind a clump of cac-
tus that in the light Of subsequent
Developments could hardly have been
anybody else than the missing con-
yict- The stranger acted so queerly
that his discoverer was frightened
and rode back to town as quickly as
possible and related his adventure,
but no particular attention was paid
to 1t and Morris was afforded an op-
portunity to find a safer hiding place.
Morris is also believed to have been
seen earlier in the day, once by a
Denver and Rio Grande railroad en-
one of the penitentiarv guards who
was looking for him. In none Of the
instances alluded to. however, was
the identity of the stranger known or
suspected. although the popularity of
his movements was such rs to attract
more than passing attention.
Sheriff Bonner. who has been un-

Morris. in company with Sheriff Es-
ser OF this city this morning visited
the locality where the suspect had
been seen by the Catlin boy and found
unmistaheable evidence Of his having

soles of the shoes had been removed
for the purpose of permitting an op-

which they concealed. presumably to
be made into a file to release his
arms from the clasp of the manacles.
The handouts he wore were new and
were of silvered steel and nearby was
found a boulder where Morris had
endeavored to break them by pound
ing upon its surface. Bits of the
bright enamel from the handcuffs
were observed upon the stone, but 1t
was apparent that he had been un-
successful in getting rid of them. Up

had not been recaptured but 1t is

trial for him but the motion was
overruled by the court.
