MURDER ON EXPRESS.
Wen Dressed Man Returning From
Theater the Victim.

New York, Sept. 3O.-An express
train on the subway was the scene of
a mysterious murder at L o'clock this
morning. A well dressed young man,
apparently returning from the theater,
was the victim. There was nothing on
his person to identify him.
His assailant, according to the po-
lice, was Charles Wright of Elizabeth,
N. J., who was arrested by a subway
Waterman.
According to bystanders, the two
men stood near each other in a crowd
ed car. They did not appear to be
acquainted, but suddenly it was noticed
that they were having a violent quar-
rel about something. Then came a
pistol shot and the younger man fell to
the floor mortally wounded.
There was panic in the crowded
car. Women in gay theater attire fled
for the doors. Several men gra bbed
Wright, who struggled with them. BY
that time the train had begun to slow
down at the Fourteenth street station.
A subway Waterman took charge of
Wright as the doors swung open. He
denied all knowledge of the shooting.
