OSSINING, Jan. 23.--Everybo who
reads the newspapers knows that Gov
ernor Miller is trying to get rid of
Charles F. Rattigan, State Superin-
tendent Of Prisons, but nobody has
seemed sufficiently interested to hazard
guess as to the identity Of the man
the Governor intends to appoint as
Rattigan's successor. Three candidates
were suggested here to-day by inmates
of Sing Sing-Nikolai Leninc, "Doc"
Bowlby. of the Lords Day Alliance,
and William H. Anderson, Of the Anti
Saloon League-after the inmate had
given the "once over" to new list Of
prohibitions upon prisoners promul-
gated by Superintendent Rattigan.
"No more wearing of diamonds, no
more seeing 'sweeties' who call upon
the prisoners, no more writing Of love
letters to women outside Of the fam
lily, no moxe swell eats from the out
side, no more reading of radical litera-
ture," read Convict sS,794 to Convict
1862, from the new books of ru1es.
Then he stopped.
fdentially, they're gettin' ready for
Governors goin' to put Nick Lenine
CIR Old Doc Bowlby or that Anderson
guy of the AntiSaloon League in Rat
tigan's job, and Rattigan wants to
get us used to what's comin'." And the
rumor spread like news Of the opening
Of new place where liquor is only
quarter a drink.

Mystery Seen
In Choir Boys
Fall to Death
Authorities Insist Eighteen.
Year-Old Singer Commit
ted Suicide, but His
Father Suspects Murder
Body Found Under Bridge
Empty Cleaning Fluid
Bottle Nearby Gives the
Police Poison Theory

The body OF Kermit Engelhart, eight
cen years old, choir boy in the Rich
saond Hill Baptist Church, was found
on the tracks of the Long Island Rail
road early yesterday morning. 1t was
seen lying under the bridge of the main
Forest Park Road by the engineer Of
freight train when his searchlight
played on it. He halted his train, noti-
fed the police and the body was iden-
tilted by card found in pocket.
The police of the Richmond Hill sta
tion and the medical examiner believe
the bridge, which is forty feet above
the tracks. But the father, julius
Engelhart, structural engineer, of
11,207 Ninety-hrst Avenue, insisted to
the authorities yesterday morning that
his son had no motive for taking his
life and declared he believed Kermit
was murdered and thrown off the
bridge by hold-up men. The boy usu-
ally carried from S75 to 500 in his
pockets. the father said, but had left
his wallet at home before leaving the
house about 8 o'clock Saturday. night
TO go for walk
Autopsy Performed
After an autopsy had been performed
Mr.. Engelhart and other members of
the family. refused to see reporters.
that section of Richmond Hill and
morbid crowds gathered in front Of
the house throughout the morning.
DR.. Howard Neail, Medical Examiner
Of Queens, said last night the autopsy
he performed leads him to believe the
case was one of suicide. He said death
was caused by numerous fractures,
probably received by the boy jumping
off the bridge. The stomach contents
looked peculiar, however. he added, and
they were sent to Bellevue for q
laboratory examination. DR.. Neail said
the lips we're eroded and discolored
as if by an acid.
When Kermit left the house to go
for walk, as had been his nightly
custom, ne told his parents he would
stop at drug store and bring home
a bottle of Carbona, a cleaning fluid.
An empty bottle was found near the
bridge by boy yesterday morning,
who took 1t to the police station. DR..
Neail said young Engelhart may have
tried to poison himself and then leaped
from the bridge.
Hands Sooty
The medical examiner said the boys
hands were blackened by sooty dust
as if he had grasped hold of the hand
rail of the bridge to vault over. Ex-
animation Of the handrail indicated
that that was exactly what he had done,
according to DR.. Neail.
The condition of an injury on his
head was such as caused the medical
examiner to conclude that it had been
suffered at the same time as frac-
ture of the spine and other injuries
that resulted from falling on the
tracks.
The spot is a favorite one for
suicides, according to the medical
examiner.
