clasped in each others arms, early to-
day, after Frederick Treichler, the
owner of the house, had noticed the
odor of gas while passing through the

The only reason for their suicide
pact was because they had become
money to keep them without work or
worry, but they had nothing to in
terest them. They had few friends
and only one son, Louis Blum, of $50
South Orange avenue.
The old couple lived in the first
floor apartment of a two-family
house. When Trichler walked
through the alleyway at 7 o'clock this
morning he detected at once the fumes
of gas coming from their windows.
He tried the doors and, finding them
locked, SUMMONED Policeman Ziegler.

IMPEACHERS Of
SULZER CALL HIS
OWN SECRETARY
Chester 6. Platt Is Served With
Subpoena Today in Ex=
ecutive Chamber.
COLWELL'S WHEREABOUTS
PUZZLES GOVERNORS FOES
lmpeached Executives Friend,
Garrison, Has Hearing in
Habeas Proceedings.

ALBANY, n. Y. Sept 27.-chester
G. Platt, secretary TO Governor
Sulzer, today was subpoenaed as a
witness by the board of managers in
the impeachment trial of the gov
ernor.
He was served in the executive
chamber.
The big unansWerable question in
Albany today was whether Frederick
L. Colwell, Governor Suffers alleged
dummy in his Wall street deals,
would testify in the trial of the i'm
peached executive. There was no
session of the court today.
Twice within the last week coun-
sci for the board of managers has
called upon Governor Suffers attor-
neys to produce Colwell. Their reply
was that the matter had been left
in the hands of Senator Harvey ID.
Hinman, one of the governors at
torneys
Hinman said Thursday that he
thought he would be able to reach
Colwell by night But he did not.
Again yesterday he said he thought
he could get in communication with
the much-wante0 witness by night
fall, but again he failed. This morn
ing he said the whereabouts of Col
well still were unknown to him. He
maintained, however, that the gov
ernor's attorneys had not the slight
est desire to conceal Colwell and
that he would probably testify next
week.
Doubt CoIweII VIII Testify.
Meantime much doubt was ex-
pressed among the attorneys for the
board of managers as 20 whether
Colwell ever would testify. They say
he will prove the connecting links be-
tween Sulzer and Wall street and
insist the governors attorneys will
not let Colwell take the stand if there
Is any way for them to prevent it.
At yesterdays session three stag
gering surprises were sprung upon
the Sulzer defense by Witnesses
Henry Morgenthau, Duncan W. Peck
and James Temple Gwathmey.
Morgenthau testified that Su1zer
called him up on the long distance tel
ephone and said: 'If you are going
to testify about the Morganthau con-
tribution OF 81 900, hope you will be
easy with me-
Refused to Treat Gift as Personal.
The witness also said sulzer had
asked him to treat the gift as Jsr-
sonal and he had refused.
Peck, who was reappointed by Sui
ger as superintendent of public works,
| testified:
| That he gave Sulzer $500 as con-
| tribution early in the campaign.

GIRL DASHED TO
DEATH BY LEAP
I. TO ESCAPE HOME
Dives through Fourth-StOry
Window When Attempt to Get
Away Is Discovered.
STRIKES ON HEAD IN YARD
AND is INSTANTLY KILLED
Elizabeth Taylor Had Been
Committed to House of Good
Shepherd for Delinquency.

Fooled in an attempt to escape,
Elizabeth Taylor, sixteen years old,
fought off several companions in a
fourth-floor dormitory of the House
of the Good Shepherd early today
and jumped head-flrst through an
unopened window to her death. Her
home was in Elizabeth.
The girl had planned a daring
scheme for gaining her freedom. She
intended to escape by means of a
rope made from sheets which was to
be lowered through one of the win
dows of the dormitory. The dormitory
Is in the west wing of the building.
The fact that the girl would have
to go down four stories sheer and
that a slip would mean death on the
stone-ilagged court below did not in
the least deter her
Once in the court, she knew that 1t
would be simple matter to climb a
tree near the high brick wall and
then drop over into the street.
CoBfides Her Secret.
The Taylor girl took one other girl
into her confidence They agreed to
make the attempt together, depending
passive spectators.
The two girls arose shortly after
midnight, picked out a window and
tried to open it. In doing SO they
made SO much noise that Several of
the girls awoke. An instant later
the entire dormitory was aroused and
q group of the girls rushed forward
to Illustrate the effort to escape. Sew
eral of the girls seized the two com
panions at the window.
With almost maniacal strength the
Taylor girl fought them off. She
soon cleared circle around the Win
dow and held the other white-robed
painting girls at bay.
I'm going anyway" she screamed
Then, turning, she plunged head
first through the lower pane of the
window.
Instantly Killed.
The crash of the glass mingled
with the shrieks of the Mortified spec
tators awoke the entire home.
1t was found that the girl had
been instantly killed. She had struck
on her head and her skull had been
fractured. There were only two OBJ
structions that might shave broken
her fall-a elothesline running from
third-story window and the roof
of a one-story extension. She had
missed both. County Physician Nc
kenzie viewed the body and gave
q burial permit.
Records of the home show that
Miss Taylor had been an inmate
there for three months. Her home
was given as 80 Railway avenue,
Elizabeth. She was committed from
Carteret for Juvenile delinquency.
