POLICEMAN
COMMITS
SUICIDE
Daniel Ford Shoots Self
in Nutley Police
Station.
ENDS HIS LIFE IN
SIGHT OF COMPANION
Before Fellow-Policeman Could
Reach His Side Victim
Was Dead.

Look here, Will,' exclaimed Police
man Daniel Ford to his fellow officer,
Wilford Stager, as they were sitting
alone in the Nutley police station early
this morning. Stager looked up to see
Ford hold-ac tE3 muzzle of his service
pistol against his body. At the same
moment shot rang out, and Ford fell
to the .ioor dead.
Friends of the dead policeman say
he had been brooding for months with
the fear that he had consumption. Re
was J 27 years old s ger was the
only man in the patrolmen's room of
the Nutley station at 1S0 o'clock this
morni:- :, Ven Ford came in from his
"beat" to get his lunch, as is the
nightly custom of the rorce Stager
knew that his friend had long harbored
the fear that the great white plague"
would "get him." and he knew how the
man had brooded for hours at a time
about the station-house when off duty,
not speaking to anyone, resenting all
to his me at 1872 Passaic avenue for
rest.
But this morning, Stager says he
himself had a headache and did not
look up second time after he saw that
Ford had come in. He heard his brother
officer fumbling with the tins and cups
of his lunch pail, but he paid no atten-
tion. and, he says, he had no time to
even reach his feet after Ford's sharp
demand. LOOK here,' brought him the
sight of his friend in the act of killing
himself.
Blood Streamed from Wound.
Stager saw that Ford was either dead
or badly wounded, Ter blood from the
wound was already making great stains
upon his uniform. Unable to Iouse him
to consciousness he summoned DR.. Ed
ward p. Whalen. Chief of Police SUIT
cliffe arrived, also, as the physician
pronounced the patrolman dead.
There's no other explanation except
that Ford had worried himself out of
his head through fear of consumption, -
said Chief Sutcliffe today. "This NOR
bid mood he had got into was prob
ably aggravated by the recent state
ment of doctor that he had enlarge
Inent of the heart
The body was taken to the old home
of the family in Passaic street, where
the patrolman lived for many years
with his mother, Mrs. Margaret Ford ;
one brother and three sisters. The
family is prostrated. The mother de-
clared her belief that her sons fears of
consumption We're groundless, but she
said nothing she could do had availed
to bring bis mind from the despond-
ency into which fear of the dread dis
ease had plunged it.
County Physician Mckenzie has
given burial certificate and the Nut
ley police department will be repre-
scented at the funeral, arrangements for
which have not been completed yet.

More ordinations, and recriminations
were the chief products of the Fergg-
Jones embezzlement suit. which has
already resulted in the arrest Of United
States c. missioner S. Howell Jones
and a genertl tangle between Tergg
and Spaulding Frazer, whom he claims
is his llwyer STILL In spite of Frazer's
denial
Brewer Fergg fired another shot to-
day when he made the affidavit declar-
ing that Frazer had been with him In
Judre Hahns office at last Tuesdays s
conference, when it was determined to
issue the warrant for Commissioners
Jones on the charge that he is unlaw-
fully Withholding $4,000 of loan he
negotiated for Fergg from Mrs. Caro-
line Powers, of New York. After he
had sworn to the affidavit Fergg said
Now you take that to Frazer and
ask him if he dares deny it, and If
he does and puts in an affidavit there IL
be another case in court.
Frazer Says Nothing.
But Frazer contented himself with
the statement that he had nothing to
add or detract from his statement OF
yesterday He admitted that In this
statement he had said that he was not
now counsel for Fergg, nor had not
been in the Jones case, nor had had
anything to do with a conference at
which the application for the warrant
was finally made.
Frazer was evidently very much
worked up over the situation. especial
ly as word came to him that Judge
Hahn is also particularly angry at
having been dragged into contro-
yersy of veracity, in which his own
statement is Numerically opposed to
that of Frazer.
But the judge declared again this
morning that there was no doubt that
Frazer had attended the conference,
had advised Fergg in the capacity of
his lawyer about the bringing of the
charges and had personally shown to
the judge set of figures in the case
on which Fergg based his Charge.
Fergg also said he had had no notifi-
cation from Frazer yet shat he de-
clined to continue as his counsel.
As for Commissioner Jones he said
he would have nothing more to say
until the hearing is held next Tuesday.
Then, according to his friends. he will
clear himself without difficulty.

Anathema on Newspaper
and Carabineers.

vITERBO. Italy, March 3L-Having
admitted his youthful excesses, Erri-
cone declared that his character was
ruined by the sensationalism of the
Mattino.
Then the carabineers damned me
by making me appear as an assassin
To call US assassins is human cruelty.
No one has a right to so stigmatize
us. not even a confessed criminal. who
so to serve his own ends, becomes an
assassin only after he has been con-
demned."
President Bianchi. interrupting, be-
seeched Erricone to calm himself, but
oner to burst into tears, and. sobbing
violently. he continued:
Claims Persecution.
For four years 1 have suffered per-
secution and maTtyrdom. Constantly
before my eyes is picture of my
dear, innocent brother dying in q
prison cell adjoining my own. In my
ears ring his laments as he passed
through the agony of death. He was
young and the beautiful image of his
Creator. He died innocent"
Erricone finally got his feelings under
control and launched into denuncia-
ton of Abbatemaggio. He described
the informer as a poor young man
whom he had helped by giving him en-
ployment as stable boy.
Calls Betruyer Biacl<mniler.
Erricone said that Abbatemaggi had
returned his generosity by stealing
from him, blackmailing him and finally
trying TO ruin him.
''Ametta. brigadier of the carabi-
neers," remarked the president, has
declared that you are Camorrist-"
Erricone replied: "All Naples knows
that Ametta is disreputable. He is the
companion of evil women"
But Ametta has been accused, tried
and acquitted.
"All Naples knows how certain ac-
quittals can be obtained was the re-
