residence OF her brother-in-Iaw, Col.
Anson G. McCook. OF injuries which she
sustained By being run over by an auto

The strangest feature Of the tragedy
was that no one could be found who
would own 10 knowing how or Fhere
Mrs McCook suffered the fI7rt that killed
her The first information came to the
eoroner's Office IN the fonn OF a telephone
message from Dr. D. S Byard. Of East

visiting at Col. Arson McCook's house.
Mrs. McCook came 10 New York to-day.
intending 10 take luncheon al the McCook
house BY appointment she met her
niece. Col McCoOk's daughter, some
where uptown, and they paid a social call.
About II O'Clock they parted at Eighty

McCOok came downtown 10 shop. while
her aunt intended 10 cross Central Park
70 Madison avenue, come on a Madison
avenue car 10 Fifty-foUrth street. and
thence afOot TO the house.
She did not arrive at the appointed
tine, and her daughter and Miss McCook
were becoming uneasy, when an autemo-
bile drove up to the house.
Fail to Question Men.
Two men. one dressed as a Chauffeur.
lifted Mrs McCook out OF the ambulance
and brought her indoors in their arms.
She was unconscious. and evidently badly
hurt In their grief and excitement the
two young women naturally failed to
question these Rlen closely. The visitors
stayed just long enough to say that Mrs
McCook had been run down by an auto
mobile somewhere in Madison avenue.
presumably while she vas changing street
cars
Having told this much, the two men
hurried out, jumped into their automo-
bile, and drove rapidly away. They gave
names and addresses which. the police
said later. had proved to be fictitious.
