Suicide Following Lovers
Quarrel Reported Better

Joseph Cappola, twenty years old.
of Nassau place, who attempted sui
eide last night by shooting himself,
after a quarrel with his sweetheart, is
reported to be improving today at the
City Hospital. The bullet has not
been extracted from his breast, but
his condition is not regarded as Sc
rious.
Neighbors were attracted by the
shooting and notified the police of the
Second precinct. The police at first
believed that Cappola had been shot
by some one else, but the would-be
suicide insisted that he had inflicted
the injury upon himself.
The young man told the police that
he had grown respondent after a re-
cent quarrel with a young woman.
He refused to give her name or ad-
dress, but intimated that they were
engaged and the betrothal was broken
by her after the quarrel.

SAY PRISONER
ADMITS ARSON
Police Claim to Have Secured a
Written Confession from
Henry HeWes.

Henry Hewes, twenty-nine years
old, who is being held under $4,000
bail for the grand jury on charge
of setting fire to his home at 81 Way
dell street, confessed to the crime
yesterday, according to the police.
The confession was made after an
examination of the prisoner by De-
tectives Brex, Bell and Chenoweth of
the Third Precinct, who made the
arrest
In a written confession. the authori-
ties assert, Hewes states that he en-
tered the cellar of his home at three
different times around midnight on
Tuesday last with intentions of set
ting fire to the house and that he
finally ignited a pile of straw in the
cellar. He confessed to starting the
fire, the police say, to secure the fire
insurance money.
A remarkable circumstance in con-
nection with the $1,000 fire which
Quilted the Waydell street house early
last Wednesday, is the apparent pre-
nomition of danger by the little
daughter of Urban Perry, who occu-
pied the second floor of the house.
On the night before the fire, the child
declared that she was afraid to sleep
in the house and cried bitterly until
she was taken to the home of a
relative.

CROKER
USED DUMMIES"
Creditors Say Nine Different
Names Appear in Deeds
and Mortgages.

Searchers by the corps of attorneys
and clerks employed in untangling
the many transactions of Major
Roland d. Crocker, the missing law
yer, are still in progress, although he
has not been seen for nearly two
weeks No definite report has yet
been made, as the transactions are
too numerous and involved. 1t has
been discovered that the names of
nine different men appear to have
been used by Crocker as dummies"
in the various recorded deeds and
mortgages.
Some of the men whose names APP
pear in this manner are of good
standing and business probity.
Therefore, until the searches are
ended and a positive knowledge of
all Crocher's methods is obtained, the
lawyers interested are loath to make
the names public. In some instances
it Is believed that the men were en-
tirely innocent of the manner in
which their names were used. In
other cases, though, a man who some
time ago was clerk in Crocker's
office appears with great frequency.
Archibald F. Slingerland, attorney
for q number of Crockers creditors,
said today that one of his clients had
loaned large sum of money on
property in this city on Crocker's
representation that the mortgage to
be given for it would be first lien.
What purported to be q first mort
gage was executed and filed ia the
office of the register of Essex county.
When a thorough search was made.
Mr.. Slingerland said, 1t was found
that the mortgage, instead of being
a first lien. was sixth The parcel,
worth between $4,000 and $4,000, vas
mcrtgaged by Orocker. it is claimed,
for various sums aggregating $4,000.
Mr. Slingerland refused to disclose
either the name of his client or the
location of the property at this time.
saying that further publication
might work serious damage to every
body concerned.
So far, transactions affecting forty
parcels of property have been dis
closed, and the end is still far off.
1t is not expected that any definite
report can be made public until Fri
day at the earliest.
