NOTED FRENCH POET IS KILLER
NJ. Mendes Walks to His Death Wh:;;.,
Asleep Aboard Train.

Paris, Feb. an. Catulle-Abrahan
Mendes, the noted french poet, was
found dead in the railway tunnel at
Saint German yesterday. The cause
and circumstances of his death are
yet unknown.
1t is believed that the death of NJ.
Mendes was accidental. He boarded a.
train at Paris at midnight bound fo-
his home at Saint German. He hac
dined at the home of friend, Bare:
Oppenheim.
The authorities are of the opinion
that he fell asleep in the carriage and
that by mistake he opened the door
of his compartment while the train
was still in the tunnel and fell be-
meath the wheels. The body was found
in the morning.
M. Mendes spent part of the day
writing a play on Napoleon which he
was preparing for the Rejane theater.
The official verdict is that the death
of NJ. Mendes was accidental and due
to fmprudence. There is no suspicion
of four play. M. Mendes' money and
valrables were found intact.

Springfield co., Resident Relates At.
tempted Assassination.

Springfield, O., Feb. 9.-That an at
attempt was made upon President
Lincoln's life in Baltimore as he was
on his way to Washington to take
Office. was told yesterday by Mrs.
Coggeshall, widow of the Springfield
man who saved the president from
death.
All these years the story has re-
manned secret with Mrs. Coggeshall.
to whom it was told by her husband
in secrecy. Lincoln told no one of it.,
neither in his family nor in his cabi-
net. 1t comes to light merely because
Mrs. Coggeshall believes it's telling
can do no harm and that it may be an
interesting addition to the Lincoln lit.
erature of the month.
Her story is that a bomb was hurled
into the coach occupied by Lincoln
as it was standing in the station In
Baltimore and that her husband first
showed Lincoln through the door of
the car and then hurled the bomb
through, window of the coach AWAY
from the crowd. ,.
Coggeshall, who was one of the
war presidents close friends, accom-
panied him from Columbus. O., to
Washington. He was later sent by
Lincoln as minister to Ecuador, where
he died of yellow fever.

There were 145 passengers on tho

sleepers.
The train was running at a high

the track, carrying with it all but the
last two sleepers.
Stanton attempted to save himself
by jumping, but was caught under the
locomotive and crushed to death.
The crash threw the passengers
from seats and berths and a panic
followed.
Great bonfires were built at the side
Of the track to enable the passengers
who escaped injury to assist those
caught in the wreckage. Conductor
William Ward sent a brakeman back
to the station to ask for help. Word
of the wreck thus reached this city
within short time after it occurred.
A relief train was hurriedly made
up. Doctors and nurses were sum.

turned into moving hospitals and ar
engagements made for the reception of
the injured. ~
The train returned here with the in.

tempered with the switch was begun
within half an hour after the wreck
occurred, and the detectives of the
road expect to make arrests before
