TWO DIE IN RAIL CRASH
Lono Island Railroad Accident Caused
by Failure of Airbrakes
to Work.

New York-A motor train on
the Long Island railroad running wild
at a mile a minute crashed through
the bumpers at the end of the line
in Hampstead, last night, shot across
Fulton avenue, smashed a taxicab to
splinters, wrecked a real estate Office
and killed two men. A third is so
gravely injured that 1t Is believed he
will die.
The accident was due to the failure
of the airbrakes to work. AS the
speed increased the motorman called
the conductor and the brakeman who
were the only others aboard and all
three tried desperately to operate the
hand brakes. 1t seemed that the cold
weather had put these also out of COM
mission. but flying to almost certain
death the three men stuck to their
post until the crash came.

AGED COUPLE ARE
SHOCKINGLY SLAIN
Mysterious Deaths On New
York East Side Battle
Detectives
BOTH BODIES ARE MUTlLATED
Isaac Futterman. and Wife Discovered
Slain In GhouIish Manner-Were
Well to Do-Eeeentric Spins
ter Daughter is Grief.strieken.

New York.-One of the most bat-
fling mysteries, one that even the
mind of Sir Conan Doyle would hardly
dare trace in imagination for his Sher-
lock Holmes confronted the police Of
New York in the discovery of the
murder of an aged and well-to-do
couple in their two-room apart
ment in one of the lower East Side
tenement houses-one Of the most
thickly populated sections Of New
York.
The victims of the tragedy were
Isaac Futterman, 80 years old and his
wife, Rachel, 72 years Of age. The
scene of the crime is in the rooms of the
couple in the rear of the second floor
of 101 Norfolk street. Here in tho
small, but neat and well-kept apart
ments, the lives of these two old per-
sons were taken in the most shocking
manner. One eye of each of the old
man and his wife had been pierced by
some sharp misunderstanding in
the nature of an icepick, and their
| faces otherwise mutilated.
Motive Unknown:
There is absolutely no known motive
upon which the police can direct their
search for the murderers except that
it was committed in revenge for some
fancied wrong done by either one OF
the aged couple. Yet nobody could
be found last night who had ever
heard of "old man" Futterman having
an enemy.
| That robbery was not the motive is
horne out by the fact that the two
magnificent earrings Mrs. Futterman
wore constantly were still in her ears
when the bodies we're found. There
was some disorder in the room indi-
eating that a struggle occurred, yet
none of the silver nor any of goodly
sum of money In the upper drawer OF
a dresser had been taken.
The murderer, apparently not sat
isfied with having killed the aged
couple, had with the side Of sharp
knife cut away the skin from the
lower part of the mans groin. He re.
moved large section Of cuticle and a
careful search of the apartment has
failed to reveal any trace of the missing
piece of skin. No instrument could
be found.
1t is believed the crime was com
mitted some time Wednesday evening
last after the couple retired for the
night.
Daughter Seen About House.
Futterman and his wife had one
daughter, Etka, spinster, who be-
cause of her peculiarities lived alone
at various rooming houses in the East
Side and derived her income from her
aged parents.
The daughter was seen by neigh
bors for the past few days lowering
in front of her fathers home.
A few hours after the bodies were
found the daughter appeared at the
house. When she was informed that
her parents were dead her grief was
pathetic. She fought and struggled
with the police to enter their rooms
She was taken to the station house
where detectives tried in vain to get q
statement from her as to when she
saw her parents last or where she was
living at present. She did not seem
to hear them. She moaned continual
ly for her parents and occasionally
shrieked 80 loud that she could be
heard block away.
