JUMPS OUT OF
AUTO TO DEATH
Michael Czvfra Is Killed on
Way to the State Asylum
al Trenton.
END CAME INSTANTLY
City Marshal Walters Unable
to Prevent Man From
Making Fatal Leap.

While being taken to the State
Hospital for the Insane at Trenton,
Saturday afternoon, Michael Czvfra,
of 697 Charles street, jumped from
the automobile and was instantly
killed. City Marshal William Walters
was at the side of the prisoner when
he jumped and his efforts to grab
him proved fruitless.
Czvfra was being placed in the
asylum upon advice Of DR.. Charles /.
Silk and DR.. william E. Vadis, who
examined the man. Czvfra, when he
left this city, seemed rational enough
yet the marshal decided to keep his
eyes on him all the time. The in
sane man, according to Mr.. Walters.
was continually licking and kissing
his hand, which caused the official to
believe that he might be affected
with the rabies.
When on the road leading from
Dayton to Kingston, Czvfra seemed
peaceful enough, but suddenly he
jumped from the machine and land
ed on his head. The auto was then
backed up and 1t was ascertained
that the man was dead. County
Physictn Carroll was notified. The
marshal was told to place the body
In the machine and bring 1t to King
ston. After viewing 1t at Kingston
the county physician ordered the
body to be taken to Coroner Ferd.
Garretson's morgue in this city.
The body arrived in this city Sat
urday evening. Yesterday morning
the man was buried from ST. John s
Roman Catholic church, interment
following in the Greek cemetery.
Czvfra's family, with the exception
OF his ffteen-year-old daughter, re-
side in Europe. 1t was the sugges-
ton OF his daughter that he be sent
away, and when the news of the
death of her father was brought to
her she became hysterical and re-
fused to be comforted.
-Czyfra, 1t seemed, suffered from an
idea that the police were after him
for some crime

Il did not withhold my petition

was an ungoUght nomination. I did
not care to be the victim Of it. am
