day man Of medium build, with the ap-
pearance Of foreigner, paced back
and forth In front Of the Mercer home,
looking into the house Members of
the Mercer and Woodward families
said today that he went by several
times, enough to attraction the atten-
tion of the occupants of the house
It is now thought possible that he
may have been seeking Mrs. Mercer
with a view to revenge for the testi-
mony she gave in the Scire murder
case, but made a mistake and attack
ed Mrs. Woodward.
81 have always feared for Mrs. Mer-
Ger because of that case" said Mrs.
Woodward today. Il dreamed once
that she was killed and carried of be-
cause she had testified
Opinion Of members OF the family
On this theory is divided. none, how
ever, being satisfied that this is the
solution. They were more Inclined to
believe that robbery was the motive
or the WISH or the lntr0der.
Asked regarding any trouble she
might have had which would lead up
to the attack. Mrs Woodward said:
III / have any enemies. do not
know of them. / have never had any
trouble with anyone. and have not the
slightest idea why anyone should try
to kill me"
Police continued their work today
by detectives no definite solution to
on the case. but after an investigation
the mystery was annouHced.

was miraculous.

bent on robbery Is one of the two
probable motives receiving most ser
ious consideration OF the police The
only evidence upon which they hang
to this Is that the room of Mrs. Wood
wards brother was first visited.
But often in cases OF this kind this
act Is done only to cover up the real
motive back of the crime and thereby
throw the authorities of the trail. A
burglar seldom uses an ax as weapon
and will run before he will attack a
person unless In self-defense. Yet,
officials think 1t possible that he may
have feared Mrs Woodward had
a gun and might have shot
him, and that he struck her
with the weapon to avoid being wound
ed or killed. But this is only possi-
bility. and In considering the case the
police are not completely satisfied
with the burglary theory.
Murder Case Revenge!
The only other cause being consid-
cred by the officials is that growing
out OF the Sam Scire murder. Sew
eral mouths ago Sam Scire was killed
IN his shoe repairing shop at 1920
Seventh avenue by Diego Chiarenza.
The tragedy occurred at $50 o'clock
in the morning. Mrs. Mercer at that
time lived across the street at 1917
Seventh avenue. She and her hus-
hand were eye-witnesses to the tras-
edy and testified at the coroner's in
quest. Since then MIR. and Mrs Mer-
Ger removed to their present residence
and Mr. and Mrs Woodward moved
to the upstairs of the home. Mrs.
Woodward is sister OF Mrs. Mercer.

at appears clearly from his report
that his ship was in danger, indeed
in double danger, first from the fact
that an enemy boat was approaching
on line that threatened to cut Off
his retreat and the enemy ship and
the Ancona could have established his
radius of action and could have set
torpedo boat flotilla on him, and sec
ond, there was danger of the Ancona
escaping, which, according TO his in
structions was to be prevented in all
circumstances. Hence. the conduct OF
the commander, much as the loss OF
innocent lives must be regretted and
deplored, cannot be disapproved
'On the contrary, If he had departed
without destroying the Ancona il
would have been failure to do his duty
since the Ancona could have notified
other ships of his whereabouts. The

Hungary is emphasized by the state
ment of the Austrian admiralty giving
unqualified approval of the action of
the submarine commander who sunk
the Ancona, officials here said tonight
they We're not surprised to find the
admiralty supporting its officer.
1t was pointed out that the German
admiralty vigorously defended the tor

concessions made by Germany to the
United States in the matter of her
conduct of submarine warfare were

Officials observed that the statement

ed In his log, thus apparently dispos-
ing OF reports that the Vienna gov
ernment was handicapped in preparing
an answer to the American note by
inability to communicate with the com
mander
An answer is expected from Austria
BY the end Of the week, but no word
had been received tonight to indicate
Just when it would arrive.
The United States has demanded
that Austria disavow the sinking of
the liner, punish the submarine com
mander, make reparation for the
Americans who lost their lives or were
injured and give assurances that such
acts will not be repeated.
In spite of the fact that there has
been little evidence of tension, such
as existed at the time Germany and
the United States were exchanging
notes over submarine warfare, it gen
orally is believed in official circles
that failure of Austria to make salts
factory reply to these demands will
be followed by rupture of diplomatic
relations.

VIENNA, Dec. 14.-(By Courier to
Berlin, via London, Dec. Is, 1880 p.
p.)-The Austria Hungarian admiralty
is entirely opposed to any disavowal
of the course of the submarine COM
mander who was responsible for the
sinking of the Italian steamer Ancona.
On the contrary 1t approves his con-
duct fully and declares that he would
have been considered as having failed
to perform his duty if he had allowed
the Ancona to escape.
The reply to the American note, it
is understood, will be delivered soon,
possibly Wednesday. The correspond
ent of the Associated Press has not
been able to secure forecast of the
terms Of the reply, but all indications
are that a pessimistic view of the sit
uation is justified.
The admiralty today stated it's case
and the attitude of the naval author
tiles as follows:
1T is submarine commander 8

mated base as soon as possible and

$50 far as the commander is con.
cerned, his course is clear. The ad-
miralty has. received his report and
sees no reason to find any fault with
his course OF action.
IF any such reason existed; that is,
if the admiralty had found that the
commander had done anything con-
trary to it's instructions, it would spon-

against him without waiting for any
