QUICKLY JUMPS TO RESCUE Struggles Desperately for Over an How to Save Wife’s Life, but Without Success. Niagara Falls, June 8—Louis Cohen of Buffalo saw his young wife leap into Niagara river between the sec- ond and third Sister islands yesterday afternoon, only 150 feet above the brink of the cataract. Without a mo- ment’s hesitation he followed her, caught her hand and made a desper- ate struggle to save her. Mrs. Cohen probably died in her husband’s arms. Before it was possi- ble to bring efficient help an hour had passed, during which time Cohen was making frantic attempts to reach shore. With his wife tightly clasped to him, he felt the twenty-mile cur- rent carry him against a tree stump, which he caught with his free hand. Waits Long for Help. He shouted for help and word was carried to the reservation police, but nearly an hour elapsed before Officer James Martin, accompanied by Repre- sentative James S. Simons and three other men, arrived with ropes. They threw the rope three times be- fore it dropped wituin Cohen’s grasp. When he caught it he was too weak to tie it about his own or his wife’s waist. When Cohen finally caught the rope the men on shore began to pull him toland, but within fifteen feet of the shore he lost his grip on his wife’s body and it was carried down stream. Cohen’s first words when resuscitated were: “My wife is out there. Go and get her. She is dead. She died in :|my arms.” Daring Men Save Body. A crowd skirted the Goat Island shore looking for the body, and Cohen joined them, insisting that the body must have stopped short of the cata- ract and might be rescued by men daring enough. William Barnett and Hugh Brown, two of the searchers, finally saw the body held fast by a rock about 100 feet above the brink of the cataract. Without ropes they waded into the stream and with great difficulty brought it to land. Life was extinct. Cohen, who recovered quickly from the shock, says that worry over the care of her baby depressed his wife and probably caused her death. KANSAS FAMILY HELD UP.

DOCTOR TELLS MANY STORIES. Man Suspected of Killing Wife In- volves Self by Contradictions. Chicago, June 8.—Dr. H. Cleminson further involved himself in a maze of contradictions and denials yesterday when he denied he had ever assailed the character of his wife, Norah Jane Cleminson, for whose murder he is be- ing held. This, coupled with the statement of his parents — Mr. and Mrs. Isaiah Cleminson—that the de- ceased was “a good woman?” threw a new light on the mystery and made the possibility of suicide seem more remote, ; Forced to Free Prisoners, Coalgate, Okla., June 8—Tom Big- bee, the county jailer here, was at- tacked by two prisoners and compell- ed to liberate all the prisoners, eleven in number, including two charged with murder. Two charged with minor of- fenses refused to leave the jail. Places Tot on Track.

LEAPS TO DEATH wes PE cect tcl SARE a RAZOR-EDGED KNIFE Mad Hog-Killer Kills Five Fellow Worle men and Fatally Stabs Three Others. Boston, June 8.— Afrightful tragedy: was enacted in the plant of the North Packing and Provision company at East Somerville Saturday, when John Murphy, a “pig sticker,” suddenly pe- came a raving maniac and ran amuck among more than a hundred of his fel- low workmen, killing five almost in- stantly, fatally wounding three others and slashing several more before he was overpowered. Panic in Killing Room. There was a panic among .the em- ployes in the killing room, on the sev- enth floor, when Murphy began his deadly work. All hands rushed for the doors, with the maniac in close pursuit, brandishing the razor-edged knife, about ten inches in length, which he used in his work of slaugb- tering hogs. Down the stairs he pursued the crowd of yelling workmen, slashing vigorously as he overtook first one and then another. An Italian grabbed an iron bar go- ing down the stairs and knocked Mur- phy to the floor with it, but he was up in an instant and cut several more be- fore another blow from the bar stretched him on his side and the bar dropped from his hand. Captors Beat Slayer. But he was still conscious and, stag gering to his feet, ran into the ham smoking department, on the third floor of the building. Here he was un- ab!e to breathe, and as he tried to get away from the suffocating place he was jumped upon by a dozen men, borne to the floor and captured. Some of the workmen were so en- raged by the fearful scene that they had witnessed that they lost their heads and administered a severe beat- ing to Murphy before the police could get him away. Murphy had been acting queerly of late. He is a married man with three children. He has worked for the com- pany five years and has always been regarded as a sober, steady and indus- trious man. He is short, stocky and powerfully built. From his occupation of cutting heads off swine he had ac- quired a fierce dexterity with the nine- inch knife, In a padded cell at the Somerville police station Murphy allowed no one to approach him yesterday, and after hours of raving he began to pray. To- day he will be given a hearing. WOMAN DIES WITH HER TOTS. Alleged Empezzler’s Wife Flees From Disgrace to Death St. Louis, June 8. — Twelve hours after ner husband, John Glaesser, a cigar salesman had been arrested on the charge of embezzlement Mrs. Martha Glaesser was found dead in bed by the side of the dead bodies of her children, Annette, a girl eight years old, and John, Jr., five years old. The room was filled with gas and the local police advance the theory that the mother turned it on. The bodies, clad in night clothes, were found at 9 a. m. yesterday by the suspect's brother, Nicholas Glaesser. It is sup- posed that the arrest of her husband preyed on Mrs. Glaesser’s mind. Yesterday afternoon Glaesser was released and the company which caus- ed his arrest said there would be no prosecution as Glaesser had been pun- ished severely already. When he left the police station the police told him his wife and babies were ill. Glaesser was charged with embez ziing $275.
