HEARS DYING MOTHER CALL
Scranton Official, Returning From Kan
sas, Warned of Death in Dream

Scranton, April 2S.-City Clerk
Ellsworth Kelly, while on his way east
from Kansas, where he had gone with
Councilmen to inspect paving, had a
dream on the train Saturday night that
his mother was calling him.
Mrs. Kelly had been an invalid for
five years, but when her SON left here
week ago she was no worse than
usual. Mr.. Kelly says he spent a rest
less night on the train, and the first
thing he asked on reaching home was,
"Is mother dead9' Mrs. Kelly was
then unconscious and died an hour
later.
Members of Mr.. Kelly's family, who
were with his mother Saturday night
recall that at about the time the son
heard the call his mother had spoken
his name and then lapsed into a stupor
from which she did not recover.

Was Arrested as Lincoln's Slayer

Pottstown, Pa, April 2S.-Thomas
E. Humphreys, who served as chief of
police under three Republican admins
trations, died yesterday afternoon, only
few minutes after his daughter, Mrs.
Timothy Shive, had been brought home
from the Homeopathic hospital, where
she had undergone serious operation.
Only two weeks ago his wife died. He
was 73 years old. Mr.. Humphreys was
resident of Washington when Lincolp
was shot, and his striking resemblance
to John Wilkes Booth led to his being
taken into custody on suspicion of be-
ing the slayer. He, however, soon es-
tablished his identity.
