NEioheoRs PEEviSH OVER THE
PRESENCE OF DETECTIVES.
II was said Mrs. Werner hired the
private detectives to prevent Werner
from returning and claiming the put
tees and jewels. One OF the detec-
tives, who was standing In front Of
Elmhurst disguised as hitching
post, was asked about Werners be-
longings.
This morning Mrs. Werner had the
detectives pack and cart off to barn
all the clothing and belongings Of her
husband. II required several large
racking cases to hold them all. for
Werner had an elaborate wardrobe.
One estimate was that the cases con-
tanned about $4,000 worth Of swagger
apparel. The cases were later turned
over to an express company and sent
to n storage warehouse in Manhattan.
The receipt for these will be mailed
to the ex-hero.
Mrs. Werner sent word to the re-
porters that she could not submit to
an interview, as she had promised
her lawyer to say nothing to any one
about her marital troubles. The
killing by an express train OF la
borer named John Pagan. near the
Riverdale station and not far from
the Morosini estate. caused some ex-
citement among the villagers and a
report was started that he had been
killed on the Morosini estate.
Neighbors Of Mrs. Werner are be-
thinning to grow peevish over the
presence Of the detectives. They say
Riverdale is being turned into sort
Of second Coney Island. Crowds
gather daily In front of the various
homes there. under the mistaken i'm
precision that they are looking ut
Elmhurst.
THEN THE MOUNTED COP MADE
A SPEECH.
MN. T.. b. Newman. who has an
estate opposite the Werner home,
didn't say a word when crowds stood
In front Of her front gates and pointed
10 the gardener and stablemen as
being private detectives. But when
she went out in her automobile and
was hailed as Mrs. Werner she con-
adhered that the last straw and APP
pealed to a mounted policeman,
The mounted cop was good natured.
Moreover he was diplomat. He ad.
drcased the crowd. Said he:
Ladies' and gentlemen The homo
Mt which you now are gazing is that
If Mrs Newman. On the opposite
side OF the street is the estate OF Mrs,
Werner. Those men on the front
norch who are smoking cigars are
nriyate detectives" Instantly the
crowd switched over to the Werner
side of the road.
A Central Once man who has WIS.,
tied Elmhurst during the present
trouble said to-day that the retaining
Of n small army of private detectives
10 guard the place IL IA farce.
