AGED PAIR POISONED.
BY ENEMY, is BELIEF
Autopsy Indicates Murder OF
Fremont M. Jackson and
Wife in Brooklyn.

Because OF the many mysterious fea-
lures surrounding the deaths or Fremont
Madison Jackson and his wife in the
Hotel Margaret Brooklyn. where their
bodies were found Wednesday morning,
the District Attorney of Kings country
and the Brooklyn Detective Bureau have
begun an investigation. Friends OF Mr..
Jackson, who was rs years old and a
retired carpet merchant. insist that ne
and his wife did not commit suicide. ana
expressed the belief that they were killed
by some one who gave them poison In
their food
An autopsy performed yesterday by
DR.. Charles Wuest. assistant medical ex-
aminer, established beyond question that
Mr. Jackson and his wife died from the
effects of poison. whose nature cannot be
definitely determined until an analysis
has been made of the contents OF their
stomachs. Physicians attending the
autopsy however said that they found
indications of cyanide of potassium. alco-
hol and either heron or morphine. Death
might have been caused by any of these.
IT find" said a statement issued by
Dr. Wuest after the autopsy. that death
was due TO some poison, the character
OF which can be determined only by
analysis Whether the poison was ad-
ministered stealthily and in small doses
/ cannot say. but the Indication that
some active toxic agent was employed -
quite evident.
THE stomachs OF both Mr.. Jackson
and his wife contained some partly d.
gested food. The stomach, heart and
kidneys were dilated and there was
marked congestion. The bodies were
healthy, showing that both were well
nourished.
Dr. Wuest said that 1t was possible
that cyanide of potassium had been en-
ployed. The police and the District At
torney at first went on the theory that
Mr.. Jackson and his wife had either
committed suicide or had taken poison
accidentally. This theory was decidedly
weakened when the detectives were I'M
able to find any bottle or other recep-
tacle that had contained poison. Neither
were there any indications that poison
of any sort had been In the apartment.
There was nothing. in fact, but the dead
bodies to Indicate that anything had
happened.
Both NJ jackson and his wife were
found lying on the floor OF the bath
room, partly dressed. so that it is be-
lieved that they had become i'll after eat
ing, and had gone into the bathroom for
medicine but had collapsed before they
could get relief. Their friends. insisting
that the couple did not commit sui
eide. point out that Mr.. Jackson was
wealthy. that balance of $4,000 in one
bank showed he was not pressed for
ready cash and that there was no reason
for them to kill themselves.
DR.. George Wardenburg of 144 St.
Marks avenue. Brooklyn. who had
known Mr.. Jackson for more than thirty
years. said that the Jacksons passed
Monday evening in his home and that
they were happy and talked about ar
rangements for a party tomorrow. He
is positive the couple did not take poison

who grant injunctions against the city
operating bus lines to compete with ex-
listing fronchise holders, do not mend
their ways he Is going to advocate the
application of the recall.
Then the Mayor switched to art and
the Rough Guy in front of City Hall.

TO VOTE AS WIVES SAY
Sees Too Much Parfisanship /;
Too Little Patriotism.

John wanamalSer. president of tho
Worlds Sunday School Association, In
addressing it's executive committee In
the Hotel Pennsylvania yesterday. de-

husbands to the polls instead of waiting
for their husbands to take them. And
men, he continued. should vote as their
wives say they should.
IF women do not vote this year their
consciences will make them vote next,

KILLS MAN AT TABLE,
CALMLY STEPS AWAY
Police Suspect Woman In
volved in Strange Murder
Of Friend by Friend.

A man walked into the restaurants.
run by George Cripsino at ala East
Twelfth street late yesterday afternoon
and made his way between the tables
until he came to one at which Tony
Salsilli of $50 East Thirteenth street.
known as "Pimple Faced Tony" sat be-
fore steaming bowl Of aghetti. Sal
sill jumped to his feet, but the man told
him to sit down. and Salsiill obeyed.
With extraordinary elaboration the
man drew revolver from his pocket.
while Saisill stared at him in fright
and the other patrons of the restaurant
looked on curiously. out they made no
move. 1t was not their fight j. did
not matter to them IL Salsilli got ,iurt
so long as they were no. disturbed.
So there was nobody to stop the man
when he pointed his gun at Salsilli and
pulled the trigger.
He fired five times. Three of the bull
lets hit Salsilli in the chest and the
shoulders. and when the third struck
him he fell forward over the table. The
last two shots missed on this account,
and lodged in the walls Of the restau-
rant After he had emptied his gun the
assassin shook his victim once or twice,
and when there was no response he
placed the revolver on the table beside
the dead man and turned and walked
from the room.
He walked into the street, where a
hundred children were dancing In the
closing hours of celebration in honor
of an Italian saint. The children had
not heard the shots, and neither had
any one else on the street, because a
band was blaring as the children danced.
Several persons who saw him said the
man stood and watched the dance for a
time, and then walked calmly and casu-
ally down the street. Fifteen minutes
later the police of the Fifth street station
heard of the murder and Capt. Mcneil
and Patrolman James Rudy went there
in an automobile. They took Crispino
and two of his employees, John Delic
and Frank Cribari OF 2121 Second ave-
nue.. to the station to question them.
Crispino and the others told the police
that until short time ago the gunman
and his victim had dined together at the
restaurant but that recently they had
begun TO come in at different times.
There was woman in the place when
the shooting occurred. She Is said to
nave watched 1t and ther to have
walked leisurely into the street, showing
no excitement. Unless she had some
thing 10 do with it the police have no
idea why Salsilli was murdered. His
father said that so far as he knew his
son had no enemies.
Salsilli was taken into custody during
the time of the Varotta kidnapping. but
was released after a few hours. The de-
tectives say that case had nothing to
do with the shooting.
