ing.

NEW YORK. January 2.-Morris
Sathan5on. well.to-do. iniddle-aEed
real estate holder and clothing manu-
facturcr, was found dead to-day in
the loft of his factory. bound hand
and foot to a chair with half-inch rope.
He had been dead for hours, and the
vast vacant loft was filled with cs-
Gaping gas from a broken pipe Just
above his head. There were no marks
OF violence.
Nathanson failed to return last
night. and when morning came his
wife reported his absence to the police.
A search was instituted this morning.
Mrs. Nathanson called up her hus.
bands partner, Isaac Gold. and he. his
wife and Mrs. Nathanson went down
to the factory. Gold. the only person
except Nathanson who had key to
the loft. opened the door. A rush OF
gas met him, but before he had time
to close the door again, Mrs. Nathan
son saw her husband dead in the
chair. She shrteked and fell In a.
faint across the threshold.
Minute examination showed that the
body had heens thrice wound with half
inch rope under the arms and bound
to the back OF the chair. Both legs
were fastened to the legs of the chair.
The right arm was free. but the left
was bound with two twists. and so
firmly knotted to an arm OF the chair
that the coroner said he could not
believe that man with only one free
hand could have tied the knots. The
hands and rope were both red with
substance not blood. The chair had
been backed up against pillar. and
tho loose ends of the knot that bound
the body TO the frame had been knotted
again behind the pillar. Thus the
body was bound to the chair and the
chair bound to the pillar.
Papers In Confusion.
On the floor were a few loose coins.
There was no money in the pockets,
which had been turned Inside out. and

wonan's fur-lined kid glove, torn
and partly turned inside out. Inc
safe was locked. Near 1t lay Nathan-
sons hat, and above 1t the gas lamp
had been broken.
Nathanson. SO far as known. had no
reason to commit suicide. He was
forty-rinc years old and IN the best
of health and spirits. His business was
solvent. he had ample outside resources,
and he lived happily with his wife and
daughter. Two sons. BENJAMIN and
John, are in business at Fayetteville.

Edmond y. Butler. OF tho tenement

In the statement he made to o-nigtt
Mayor Ciaynor made no reference to
the Departments of Street Cleaning and
OF Corrections. There is no intimation
about the Street Cleaning Depar tment
or the Department OF Correction. but
1T is believed that Commissioners Ed

+ None of the appointces is a Tammany
man. The only new Official who is
even slightly affiliated with Tammany
is Rhinelander Waldo, the new Fire
commissioner. and he Is merely a dis.
gtrict general committeeman. and his
only activity In the committee has
been the regular payment of his So

Although Mayor Gaynor has turned
lramma NY down hard. he issued state
ment tonight culogizing Charles f..
Murphy. the leader of the organization.
and declaring that he was a much ma
lignei man. That, however. is small
solace to the hundreds OF Tammany
Office FOLDERS who are now drawing pay
from the city. Many of the Tammany
,distrfct leaders. when they heard to-
night of the appointments made by Mr..
Gaynor. expressed the opinion that
there would be a general sweep of the
Tammanyites from the city's depart
ments. Mr.. Gaynor's slate is not like.
ly to set the bay on fire. While all
of the appointees are reputable men.
the qualifications OF most OF them seem
to have been the fact that they were

NEW YORK. January 2.-It was
made known In Newark to-day that
Fletcher w. Snead. husband OF Mrs.
ocey w. NJ. snead, for whose tnys-
terious death In bathtub in her East
Orange home on November 30, her
mother and two aunts arc charged
with murder, will not figure In the
trial of the three women. Prosecutor
Wilbur A.. Mott got word from Detec-
tive Alfred r. Hargan, OF his staff,
who met snsad in st. catherine's, On-
tario. on Saturday. that he could not
Induce Sncad to attend.
One object Of Harsans mission to
Canada was to prove at the trial OF
the women that Snead is alive. The
three Wardlaw sisters explained
snead's absence from his wife at the
time OF her death by saying they had
not heard from him in such a long
time that they believed him dead. It
Is said the State will endeavor to
prove that the mother and aunts OF
the dead woman made her believe that
Snead was dead.
The thrco defendants-Mrs. Caroline
q. Martin. Mrs. Mary w. Snead and
Miss Virginia Wardlaw-who are in the
Essex county jail In Newark. will prob
ably be arraigned tomorrow to plead
to the indictments charging them with
murder.
It is said the trial will not taEe
place before March, because of nu-l
merous other cases on the criminal
calendar. Franklin w. Fort. OF New
Jersey, counsel for the three women.
may ask for a separate trial for each
OF his ciients. It is said that two or
three of tho best known members OF
the bar from Virginia and Tennessee
will assist, including Ex-Judse Phle-
gar. OF Virginia. who Is lifelong

Never was there a more foolhardy at

this was vain.
In the estimation of Washington no
one distinguished himself more at
Quebec than did Capt. Morgan. So,
after an exchange was effected the
commanderin-ch recommended him
for promotion. He was made colonel
and a select rifle corps of New jersey
and Pennsylvania men added to his old

this corps himself. but at the urgent

wise with Arnold. for Arnold had been
seriously wounded. and that required
mention. but Gates rather overdid the
thing In the case OF Morgan, for a few
days after the surrender of Burgoyne he
gave a dinner to the principal British
officers, to which all the American field
officers except Morgan were invited. Some
military duty developed that evening that
made it necessary for Morgan to go to
Gates. He went to headquarters, was
ushered into the room where the officers
were dining, conferred with Gates and
then withdrew. He was in the yard about
TO depart when some men rushed from
the dining room and called his name
They We're the British guests. They had

quired who he was. Being told he was
Col. Morgan. they arose, went out and

thought they ought to know him. as they
had severely felt him in the field
1t is strange that a man of Morgan's
temperament should have been able to
