From Cathedral Clock Gallery.
Fall al Feet Of Passersby, Every
Bone In Bodies Broken.

Antwerp, April 25.-A youth Is
years old and a 19-year-o girl were
the principal characters in a shock
ing love tragedy enacted here. today.
Arm in arm, they climbed to the clock
gallery in the tower of the Notre Dame
Cathedral and from a height of $50
feet leaped into space. falling at the
feet of passersby.
Every bone in the bodies of the boy
and his companion was broken AS
they hurtled through the air several
men and women who witnessed the
sight tainted.
According to the police the leap
from the church tower was in accord
ance with a suicide pact
The tragedy occurred at a time when
the glove market. in front of the
cathedral, was throneed with pedes
TRANS. large number of whom stood
transfixed helpless witnesses to every
phase of the drama.
The youth and the maiden had pur
chased from the porter, at the entrance
door tickets of admission to visit the
tower, from the eminence of which
wide view is possible. The porter no
ticed nothing unusual In their de-
meanor as he escorted them to the
stairway and saw them start to climb
the flight of 622 steps leading to the
top gallery with its chimes of 80 bells.
That the act of the lovers was pre-
meditated is shown by the fact that
they had placed five letters, one ad-
dressed to the police commissary and
the others to various relatives, where
they easily could he seen by visitors
to the tower.
Entering the clock gallery. the cou-
pie climbed upon the stone balustrade.
With hands clasped they poised them
selves for a moment and then leaped
into the glove market, strik-
ing the flags close to the historic
Matsys fountain. Ambulances were
summoned, but the surgeons declared
that the lovers had died instantly.
The letters found in the tower show
that the youth was Ellie Walko, and
that his home was in this city.
The girl has not yet been identified.
The letters, it is declared, stated that
the young couple had been driven to
their dreadful deaths because of a love
affair.

the Westchester Road, was taken over
by the New Haven. and the construe-
ton agreement was terminated. On ac-
court Of this cancellation Thorne and
Perry received S275,000.
The construction of the Westches-
ter Road involved the Millbroek Co.,
the City and County Construction Co..
the Melrose Co, the New York. West
chester & Boston Railway Co, the New
York & Port Chester Railroad Co.,
and the New York Railroad & Deyel-
opment Co. Brown was unable to tell
anything about some of these con-
Germs.
Eventually the New York, West
chester & Boston and the New York
& Port Chester, were merged under
the name Of the New York, Westehes-
ter & Boston Consolidated Railway Co.
Under the terms OF the consolidation
stockholders were to receive one share
of the new company for every four
shares of stock in the two merged
properties.
Altogether the Westchester road cost
s33, 000,O e0 or about Sl,500,00o a mile,
according to the witness.
Brown said the reports for the first
two quarters showed that the roads
earnings were less than the operating
expenses
Brandeis then took up the payment OF
some of Mellen's notes in connection
with the Westchester road transaction
A series of notes, Brown said. were
liquidated, April IL, 1909, by a certi-
ficate of deposit, which came from the
New Haven, for $1,524,072, on the Ma
tional Shawmut Bank of Boston, in
favor of the Second National Bank
+ of New Haven. Mellen's name did not
appear in the transaction. The Second
National Bank of New Haven drew a
check on its own account for the
amount of the original certificate of
deposit on the First National Bank of
Boston. This check was deposited
with the National Shawmut Bank to
| the credit of the New England Navi-
cation Co., New Haven subsidiary.
| What was the necessity for this
circuitous method?' asked Brandeis.
Witness replied that he had asked
this question OF Cashier Bowman of
! the New Haven Road who replied that
this method was pursued to prevent
| Mellen's name appearing in the trans
action.
/ Attorney C. F. Choate, Jr., did not
ask any questions.
