POLICE TRYING TO
CLEAR Up DEATH
OF JACOB KARCHER
Hotel Proprietor and Boarder in
West Orange Tell Con-
flicting Stories.

Chief of Police Bamford, of West Or
ange, secured a signed statement last
night from Joseph Storck, II years old,
who boards at the Hotel Wellington,
that town, in reference to the death Of
Jacob Karcher. So years old, of "a
Whittlesey avenue, West Orange.
Karcher died on october rs last. He
was taken to his home on the night Of
October q. The doorbell a rung and
Mrs. Karcher saw a man leaving the
porch. Karcher died four days later.
after 1t was discovered that he was
suffering from a broken arm, frac-
tured ribs and internal injuries.
In his statement Storck declares he
a the man who took Karcher home
on October q. He works In the Edison
plant, and says that when he returned
home that night at 6:15 p. m. he found
Karcher lying at the foot of the stairs
in the basement. He carried the mar
to a sofa and notified William Mungy,
proprietor of the hotel. Storck was
told by Mungy, he says, that Karcher
was only drunk, and was asked to
take him home. On the way Karcher
fell down three times and complained
that his stomach hurt him. He heard
no more of the case until found by Po-
liceman Busold last night, he says.
When Mungy was sent for by Chief
Bamford he denied Storck's statement.
He had previously made a statement in
which he said Karcher had left his
place at 5:15 p. M, and was perfectly
sober. After his denial of Storck's
statement he was confronted with
Storek, but maintained that the lat
ter's story was not correct.
The police have made no arrests as
yet, but are conducting a further in
vestigation as to how Karcher met with
his injuries.
