took to suggestion of this kind like
duck to water and was highly elated
on account of the proposed trip. He
no doubt imagined broader field for
the exercise Of his own peculiar talent.
On their arrival at New York they
registered under assumed names at

The judges stepson's face flushed and
there was tremor in his voice. He

had been poured into the bottle. Reed

the offer made by his new friend and

The two survivors suddenly left the
hotel and crossed over to Jersey City
and took lodging at Taylor's hotel,
where they registered under assumed
names, as they had done previously at
the Merchant1'. 1t was late in the
evening when they went TO bed.
They had left the Merchants hotel
late in the afternoon. Jones, the sup
posed drugged countryman, was rot

assume almost any character and de-

withal an honest, faithful servant to

morning at Taylor's hotel Reed pre-
tended 10 be taken suddenly sick with

they must get out of the place In a

said that while downstairs he had torn

glancing at it hastily. at once sprang

A Brutal Murder ard Robbery.


Another of those outrageous and
dastardly murders which have so
recently startled the community
occurred in this city yesterday af-

are as follows: 1t appears that
shortly after dark last evening
well dressed man, apparently
thirty-flve years Of age, was found
by the police lying near the foot
of CORTLAND street in an insensi-
bic condition He was taken to the
police station, where restoratives
were administered, and when he
had revived sufficiently he stated
that his name was P. r. Jones and
that he was from Fort Wayne,

Mr. Jones was removed to the city
hospital last evening. where he be-

o'clock The police are on the
track of the murderers, who are
supposed to be from Baltimore or
Washington, as the clerk at the
hotel states that they came in just
after the arrival of the Washing

can identify them.
