IOWA WOMAN TELLS
OF MORE MURDERS
Saws Four Were Killed by
Bandits Soon After Civil War,
as Was "Old Than"
Try Telegraph TO The Tribune. ]

Bedford, Iowa, July 13.-The storm
and floods to-day delayed the hearing
on the murder Of Nathaniel Smith and
his son forty-seven years ago at Siam,
Iowa. Witnesses and principals could
not reach here, and the trial of the four
aged men was postponed until to-mor-
row.
Bedford was stirred to-day by the
revelations Of Mrs. NJ. J. Pease, Des
Moines woman, who told how her father
and three companions Collins, Cole
and Harmon-we murdered by band
Of counterfeiters at Siam. Pease's
eight-year-old son was spared and
taken to West Point, Mo, by one of the
gang, who gave Mrs. Peasss mother
81 600. Mrs. Pease's father was a horse
breeder and had $4,000 with him.
The four defendants, sitting IN the
courtroom awaiting the arrival of the
prosecutor and chief witness for the
state, repeated their denials of guil 1t.

voice of extreme age.

"Wife," Slain, 1t Is Said,
Lies Dead in Flat for
Three Days.
SHOTS AND GAS FAIL
TO KILL HUSBAND"
Quarter Meter Exhausted When
Victim Is Found-Charged
with Homicide.

In three small, stuffy rooms at 32s
East Fifty-fourth Street, Frank Smith
lived several days with the body of the
woman known as his wife. Yesterday
he twice attempted his own life, and
is now a prisoner in Bellevue Hospital
charged with homicide for the death OF
the woman. lie is unconscious, and
has not been able to utter a word IN
explanation.
Smith, with an attractive woman OF
about thirty, known as Mrs. Margaret
Smith, rented an apartment in the
house on July 3. The woman was soon
established in the daily life of the
house, and was known to her neighbors
as Margie. Of Smith they did not see
so much. He was in and out at odd
times and never vouchsafed any in
formation concerning his affairs.
For several days none saw Margiel
but they hesitated to make inquiries OF
the taciturn Smith. Yesterday after
noon people on the third floor COM
planned Of the smell of gas. Joseph
Meyer, the janitor, traced the odor to
the Smith apartment. No answer came
to his knock Something in the silence
aroused his suspicious and convinced
him it was no ordinary gas leak.
Instead of using his passkey on the
door and looking for the leak, Meyer
went to Mrs. Mary Cibuay, the owner
of the house, who lives at 1874 East
Fifty-fourth Street. She returned with
him. On the way they picked up Cas-
per Earth and Barney Krudturad.
Every gas jet in the Smith fiat was
turned on, but no gas was then escap-
ing. On the bed lay Margie and be-
side her lay the man who called her
his wife. She had been dead several
DAYS. Smith was breathing heavily
and groaning.
They dragged Smith to the hall
slammed the door and called the police;
DR.. Meyer, Of Flower Hospital, said
that the woman had been dead for at
least three days. Smith, he found, had
breathed almost enough gas to Kill
him and also had powder burns on his
right temple. He was taken to Belle
vue Hospital.
The police and Coroner Hellenstein
were unable to say how the woman
died. That must wait for the autopsy
because of the condition of her body.
They thought she had died violent
death. A brief examination disclosed
what appeared TO be two wounds in her
neck, whether bullet wounds or knife
wounds was uncertain.
For three days Smith had cooked
eaten and slept within a few feet OF
her body. The powder burns on his
temple were recent.
1t is thought that he sought to end
his ordeal with bullet, but either the

PATIENT DIES BY LEAP
Kicks Stats from Bellevue
Window to Jump.

William Delmore, real estate
dealer, of ASP West l64th Street, leaped
last night from a window in Ward II,
Bellevue Hospital. where he was a
patient, and dropped three stories to the
pavement. He died as he was being
carried back into the building
The man was brought to the hospital
yesterday suffering from erysipelas.
No one noticed anything strange in his
conduct during the day, and when last
night he said he felt better he was
allowed to walk about the ward. He
strolled into an adjoining room, the
windows Of which were boarded up.
Before any one could reach him he had
kicked the Stats eff and had jumped.

according to DR.. Lichtenstein. it gave

SICK AND HEALTHY
MINGLE ON HARRIS
Grand Jury Calls Lack of Island
Quarantine a Peril-Dr.
Davis Courts Inquiry.

Charges that mental detectives and
boys suffering with contagious diseases
are allowed to mix with healthy in
mates and tuberculosis patients in the
Harris Island Reformatory were made
yesterday to Supreme Court Justice
Brady by the June grand jury in Bronx
county.
An investigation was begun by the
Jury following the collapse of forty
six bows on the baseball field at the
island on June 81, after using stolen
drugs. The presentment says that If
the building had been sufficiently
guarded the drugs could not have been
stolen, and suggests that more keepers
be installed.
Sick boys and those in good health
are allowed TO use the same towels,
razors and soap, it was found. They
even sleep in the same dormitories.
The administration was doing the best
it could under the poor conditions, the
presentment said, and the grand jury
asked that the report be submitted 70

might be reinstated.
John Whalen, counsel for Moore, de-
clared that Moore's removal had been
determined on long before the trial.

sion. she has been in its clutches, al
ways meaning to give it up, to 60 to
sanatorium, if necessary, and always
postponing its surrender.
Her baby, Rebecca, did not thrive.
The child became more fragile day by
day. Nervous tremors racked its tiny
frame. SO gradual was the fading of
her baby that Mrs. Shapiro did not
realize its condition nor imagine the
significance of the symptoms.
The baby is drug victim.
DR.. Lichtenstein, resident physician
Of the Tombs prison, could hardly be-
lieve his own diagnosis at first. Hor-
ror penetrated even to the drug-dazed
mind of Rebecca's mother. The symp-
toms were unmistakable. The faint OF
the drug had been transmitted to the
baby in its mothers milk. II is case
so rare that DR.. Lichtenstein doubts
if parallel has ever been noted.

Court of Special Sessions before Jus
tice Russell Yesterday afternoon she
pleaded guilty to the charge Of having

pounds, the mother held her sickly baby

MRS. 0NFFROY
FREED BY COURT
NoWoman Safeif Husband
Can Use Secret "Short
Cut" Says Shearn.

In q decision criticising the action
Of her husband and the methods OF the
court by which she was committed
Justice Shearn yesterday sustained the
writ of habeas corpus sworn out for
Mrs. Kathleen Onffroy and ordered her
release from the Roman Catholic House
of the Good Shepherd. She was placed
there on May 81 last at the instance OF
her husband, Roland u. Onfroy, vice
president of the United Five and Ten
Cent Stores.
On the statement of her husband
that Mrs. Onffroy was incorporate she
was committed for three years by Mag
istrate McQuade. "The record dlsclos.,,
es a disturbing condition Of AFFAIRS,
said Justice Shearn. IF husband may
by this short cut have his wife Locked
up for three years upon his mere oath
to a magistrate in private that MS wi1e
is intemperate,' no woman is safe.
The iustice also said that sending
people TO public institutions for violat-
ing the law is not n private matter.
The record shows that Onfroy IN
duced his wife to accompany him to the
private chambers of Magistrate Nc
Ouade. "Then. and there, with no
court clerk present and with nothing
save the presence of a stenographer TO
indicate the formality of trial, a
hearing took place"
Mrs. Onffroy was not required TO
plead to any charge and she was not
informed of her right to communicate
with friends or counsel, as required by
law. Onfroy was the only witness.
against his wife. After the giving OF
his testimony and after his wife adj
mitted that she had drunk to excess
once or twice a week, but always IN
the presence of her husband: Mrs
OnTroy was committed to the Roman
Catholic House Of the Good Shepherd
for three years. This is longer term
than is given in many convictions on
crimes involving a felony.
In criticising the private hearing
Justice Shearn said: There is no in
tention of even suggesting that the mo-
tives of the magistrate were not of the
highest. 1t is not an altogether un-
common thing to do where the magls-
trate feels, as he evidently did here,
that the family involved and the wom-
an should be spared the humiliation
and disgrace Of publicity. But both
the legality and policy of such course
are at least doubtful

unable to support his wife in the way
in which she was accustomed.
Mr. and Mrs. Auchincloss were mar.

of cruelty, after two daughters had
been born TO them. Mrs. Auchincloss
was a daughter of the late George
