BURGLARS LEAVE AGED
WIDOW AND MAID DYING
Mrs. Margaret Bell Found Un-
conscious in Brooklyn Home
with Head GaShed.
PROBABLY MADE BIG HAUL
Many Valuables In House-Ser-
want Discovered in Stupefied
Condition on Stoop-Only
Man in Family Away.

Mrs. Margaret Bel. eighty years old.
Of No. SO Fort Greene Place Brooklyn.
died early this morning IN the Brooklyn
Hospital as the result of an attack
made upon her last night by burglars.
Her maid, Mary Hogan. was badly
hurt. and II Is thought that her chances
for recovery are slight.
The women were attacked about Q
o'clock, as II was only "A little while
after that hour that ncighbors found
the maid in stupefed condition on
the front stoop. When they took her
into the house they discovered Mrs.
Bell unconscious on the parlor floor
and with a long cut on the top OF her
head
The aged woman had her sleeping
apartments OH the first lOor. and the
drawers Of the bureau I'm her chamber
had been rined. The police were not able
to learn at once just what the burglars
had taken, but it is believed that they
made rich haul, for there were many
valuable articles I'm the house.
Mrs. Bell who is a widow, owns the
three story frame house, and lived In IT
with her son Charles, who is employed
by a hardware concern in Chambers
street. Manhattan. Mary Hogan was
the only servant
Charles Bell kissed his mother good
night just after dinner last night and
said he was going out to pay visit to
some friends. II would be after his
mothers bedtime when he got back, he
remarked.
About $3.50 o'clock neighbors heard
groans in the direction of the Bell
house and, investigating, found Mary
Hogan lying on the stoop. She was un-
able to say anything, but those who
helped her into the house found her
mistress lying face downward on the
floor. The cut on Mrs Bells head had
probably been made by blunt instru-
ment or blackjack
An ambulance was called from the
hospital at once, and Or. Hatfield, who
came with II, said that Mrs. Bells skull
had been fractured and that there was
no hope for her recovery. Mary Hogan
was not able TO give any Information,
but from the fact that she was lying
on the stoop it is believed that after
she had been attacked she had made
an attempt TO call the police or. to get
tho ossistancp of neighbOrS.
Mary Hogan had not been long In the
employ of the family and she took the
place of a negress who was discharged
about six weeks ago. The police think
II possible that n negro entered the
house. as within a block or so OF the
pIace there is colony Of negroes.
Apparently, whoever entered the
house knew something about it and
about the habits Of the members OF the
household.
Charles Bell returned home about 10
o'clock and gave ali the assistance he
could to the police. He could not say
last night what had been stolen.
1t was learned from Mrs. Foster,
music teacher who lived on the top
floor Of the house, that when she went

suppress him, needed not the objections
of the District Attorney and got upon
the record temporarily some sort Of
