STABS SELF IN SHED
Grace Hugo, SO, Found on the
East Side, Where She Worked
as Milliner.

self as an artist ahd said she lived at
the Y. w. c. NJ, 16 East Sixteenth
street, was taken to Bellevue Hospital
late yesterday with stab wounds in the
neck and arm. which the police said
were self-inficted in an attempt at sui
eide.
The woman was found in a semi
| conscious condition in a shed in the yard
of 81 Clinton street, in the heart of the
lower East Side The weapon used was
penknife that had been borrowed from
the husband OF Mrs. Goldberg. a milliner
at that address, for whom Miss Hugo
had worked off and on for nearly two
years.
Mrs. Goldberg said Miss Hugo went
to her two years ago and asked for
work two or three days a week. Miss
Hugo would work for week or two
at time and then would not appear
again for two weeks or a month. Last
Wednesday she entered the store and
seemed to be in distress. Mrs. Goldberg
said she gave the woman SIS. Her next
appearance was yesterday afternoon
when, In the absence of Mrs. Goldberg
in the front of the store, she asked one
of the Goldberg youngsters to borrow
knife for her. She then made her way
out to the shed, where she was found
later
1t was Mrs. Goldberg's impression that
the woman had come from a family Of
means. Miss Hugo had told her. she
said. that she had been unsuccessful in
art ard did not want her family to know
she was working for living. 1t was
not until after she had been moved to
the hospital that Mrs. Goldberg learned
her name. In the room she occupied at
the Y. w. c. A. the police found two
cards. One was that of Miss H. S. A.
Pamlih of 494 Broadway. Paterson, N
j., and another of Miss M. J. Maximil-
lian Hugo, sculptor. at 1947 Broad
way.
Miss Pamlih is patient in the Pater-
son General Hospital suffering from an
attack of pneumonia. George Peterson,
her half brother was found in Harlem
and said Miss Hugo and Miss Pamlih
lived together in this city for a time
more than ten years ago. He knew Miss
Hugo only casually, he said, but under
stood she was an artist and writer,
and appeared to be refined.
A Miss Madeline G.. Hugo had a studio
at 1947 Broadway, the Lincoln Arcade
Building. up to Ave months ago. but her
present address could not be learned.
He name appeared on the elevator di-
rectory, but the rooms she had occupied
now are used by a spiritualist organiza-
ton Other artists In the building did
not know Miss Hugo.

Children of the Brownsville and East

were manufactured by the American

found their way into the hands of re-

The bombs had a particular appeal to
the children. because when they are

the accused men pleaded not guilty. At
Mr.. Ruston's request bail was fixed at
$4,000 in each case. Mr.. Ruston said
that the trials probably would take place

specifically charge the men with being
responsible for the deaths of Philip Stein

of 293 Sutter avenue, two OF the seven
men killed in the accident.
Borough President Riegelmann, who
repeatedly has stated that he would take

Mayor Hylan requesting that official &c

The Circuit Court

Judges Beall and Camalier have
been presiding on the Bench since the
converting of the session on Monday.
Judge Beail, in charging the
Grand Jury, stated that reports hao
reached the courts ears that gambling
was carried ON quite extensively in
different sections of the county, and
that these violations were being con.
Quoted with the knowledge of some of
the officers.
'Of course said Judge Beall, 81
have no proof of such violations. but
1 deem it my duty to pass these re-
ports along to you for investigation.
Continuing the court said.
1.-The rumors that are in circulation
relative to the so-called gambling
joints. are also to the effect that GER
tain officers of the county receive a
"rake off" from the proprietors for
the protection they give to the gam
blers. I think this is proper subject
for your investigation, and if the truth
of these rumors can be shown, the
officers receiving money for this pr. :
lection ought to be punished, but if the
parties circulating these rumors are
simply casting reflection upon these
officers, then the persons circulating
the rumors ought to receive such pun
ishment as the law provides.
1.-THE fact that such rumors exist
at all, casts a reflection on the good
name of the county, and the Grand
Jury ought to go to the bottom of the
matter and clear 1T up"

Held for Murder of Mrs. Weber

Thomas Fl. Garrison Tuesday morn
ing arrested young negro giving his
name as James Brown, otherwise
known az "North Carolina joe, who
is being held in connection with the
murder of Mrs. Margaret E. Weber,
20-year-old bride of j. w. Weber.
Her body was found May 10 last in a
4 clump of bushes near White Station
on the Washington. Baltimore and
Annapolis Railroad, this county.
Brown ,stou,ly denies having any
thing to do with tn crime, but admits
being ia the vicinity of Whites Station
the day it wa committed. The negro
was identified by Volney White, q
farmer, for, whom he worked two
days before the murder.
Brown, who was arrested about a
half mile from the scene of the crime
was taken to Washington and ques-
toned by Garrison and Inspector Cliff
ford L. Grant, Chief of Detectives.
Because of his sudden disappearance
following Mrs. Weber's death Brown
has been sought throughout the coun.
try.
Mrs. Weber was criminally assaulted
and shot to death Her assailant not
only killed her and robbed her of her
pocketbook. but also cut off finger
on which was a diamond ring.
Brown made many conflicting state
ments, one of which was that he had
never crossed the tracks of the Wash.
ington Railway and Electric Company
at Whites Station to the clump OF
woodland in which Mrs. Weber was at.
tackled. On the contrary, George
Washington colored, and Dave Queen
who live on the Sheriff road, say they
saw him at their homes on the day be
fore the woman was killed.
Constable Garrison and Detectiv,
Sergeant Thomas Walsh believe that il
the arrest of Brown the murderer O.
Mrs. Weber has been captured. The,
expect he will confess to the slay
