Sheiton, Conn., Oct. 24—The inguest over the body of the woman found Sat- urday lying partly dressed in a brook on White Hill, near Indian Well, was completed late tonight. No official statement was made by the examining physicians, but it is understood that deith was found to have been caused by strangulation, making it another muyrder case for the authorities of the state to solve. The examination show- cd a slight congestion of the lungs and of the brain, with all the other organs of the hody'in perfect condition. The Jength of #ime the Dody was in the brook was not exactly determined, but is thought to have been there from three to four weeks, the cold water keep\ng it from decomposing. ~While there were no finger marks discernible on the throat, it is thought that they were covered up by the discoloration of the skin due to the long exposure of the body to the elements. BODY FOUND BY HUNTERS, NO IDENTIFICATION MARKS. Stranger Seen Several Times by Resi dents of the Neighborhood. Shelton, Conn.. Oct. 24.—The identity of the body of the woman found partly submerged in a brook on White Hills, near Indian Well, Saturday is as much of a mystery as ever. Coroner Wilson of Bridgeport, accomnpanied by Medi- cal Examiner' Sholtom, “paid a visit to the place today and went carefully over the ground where the body was found, but failed to find anything that would tend to establish her identity. Finding of the Body. \ The body was tound by Louis Russell ang Frederick Hasback of . Bridgeport e upwards, witi face and shoulders apove water, the lower part covered with water to the depth of a few inches. The brook hae been low most of the past summer and it is not thought to have been deep enough to cover the body during the length of time it, is thought to have baen in the brook.” The 'body wa: clothed only in a sct of underwear with 1) marks of identification. On the shirt was found a smoked pearl pin atout one and a half inches long. The tles on her feet were well worn and without laces. On ihe bank was a booken ‘water bottle and fifty feet #%ay under a tree wore found the skirt, shirt waist and other clothing, #l80 an upper set of false teeth be- Jenging to the womay. May Have Fallen In, The. trampled and worn condition f the grass at the hase of the tree where the clothing was found seemed to in- dicate that the woman had made this her sleeping place and together with a well worn path to the brook indicated 153t she had spent gonsiderable time 41 that neighborhood.” The supposition of the authorities, unless the autopsy furnishes a specific cause of death, is that the woman went down to the brook to fill the water bottle and wn yeaching the foot of the path crouch:a on a storie several feet above the broak and took hold of bushes near by and Icored over ‘to fill the bottle and thot | e th> bushes broke, letting her fall into tne brook, the shock causing an attack of heart disease. First Seen on August 24. Although no one knows the name of the woman she was seen several times bv people living in the neighborhood of White Hill. She was first seen on August when she was overtaken while walking along the road by Dan- iel Knapp, who was driving to his home in Fast Village. He stopped and took her into his team, after being told that she was on her way (o the home of John McCoughlin on White Hill. McCoughlin formerly lived in White Hill, but moved to Providence, R. I, a'year ago. While in. the wag- on Knapp asked her several.auestions and in reply to one of them she said that her home was In Norwalk. The questions seemed to annoy her, and on reacling the home of Charles Tompson said she wished a drink of water and getting out of the wagon refused to ride further with him. Was of Good Appearance. After secuing a drink of water at the Tompsori home, she started down the road toward White Hill. . At that time, acdording to Mrs. Tompson, the woman was ‘well dressed in a- dark skirt, white shirtwaist and large hat trimmed with red, and her general ap- pearance was that of a woman of some breeding. Offered to Pay for Food. Nothing was seen of the woman un- til a few days later she returned to the house and asked for something to eat, offefing at the same time to make payment for the food given her. Tiis the Tompsons refused and she departed in_the direction from which she came. Several days after her sec- ona visit to the Tompsons she again paid them a visit, asking a% before for food and tendering payment. Again she was given food and a bottle of water. The bottle was found broken beside the body in the brook. On leaving the Tompsons she gave one of the children some small change. An- other of the Tompson children follow- ed the woman for some distance until she turned into the woods, where she was lost to view. She did not appear at the Tompson home after that and nothing was seen of her until the find- ing of the body yesterday by .the Bridgeport huntsmen. Had Been Sleeping in the Woods, . At the time of her last appearance at the Tompson home, Mr. Tompson says that she asked permission to stay with them, offering to pay for her accommodations, but he would not al- low her to remain on account of her unkempt appéarance, her clothing showing that since her first appear- ance at the Tompson home that she had evidently been sleeping in the woods.

Peckham, assistant justice of the Un ed States supreme court, died at 8.15 o'clock tonight at Cpolmore, his sum- mer home at Altamont, Albaniy coun- ty. Death was due to a complication of diseases, heart trouble, Bright's disease and hardening of the arteries contributing. Justice Peckham had been in ill- health for some time, but his condi- tion was not considered serious until recently. Justice Peckham was born in Alba- ny, November 8, 1838. At the com- pletion of his education at the Albany academy and Phlladelphia, he studied law in the office of his fesher, who had as his law partner at the time Lyman Tremain, ~ attorney general of the state. On the election of his. father to_the supreme court bench of New York state in 1359, the same vear, Jus- tice Peckham was admitted to the bar, he formed a partnership with his fa- ther's former pariner, under the firm name of Tremain & Peckham, which continued until the death of Mr. Tre- main in 1878, > Justice Peckham had been district attorney of Albany county, corpora- tion counsel for Albany, justice of the supreme court of the state, and assist- ant judee of the court of appeals, to which he was elected in 1886, In De- cember, 1895. while still a judge of the court of appeals, he was appointed by the late President Cleveland as an assistant justice of the supreme court of the United States.

November 8 1838, and had been on the bench, state and federal, for /26 years. Fis chief distinction was that of giving his time exclusive- ly_to the duties of the court. Washington, Oct. 24—When the news of Justice Peckham’s death was | broken to the Surviving members of the supreme court tonight all of them appeared to be deeply affected, al- though the end of their fellow jurist had been looked upon as merely a matter of hours, Chlef Justice Fuller had retired when word was _conveved to him, but he expressed his sorrow and said that the passing of Justice Peckham was a severe l0ss to the American bench. Justice Harlan was overcome with emotion when he heard the news. JAPANESE COMMISSIONERS VISIT PERRY’'S GRAVE iece- at Base of the Monument.

TAMMANY A PIRATE BAND Vilest Political Organization the World Has Ever Known—Nominee Gaynor Erratic, Unstable and Radical. New York, Oct. 24.—Except for a re- ception at the Hotel Astor to William Randoiph Hearst, the independent or clvic alliance candidate for mayor, po- litical activity in Greater New York today centered almost wholly in the pulpits. Hearst spoke at the reception during the afternoon, but his two op- ponents, William J." Gaynor, democrat, and Otto T. Bannard, republican, rested today and tonight. All three, however, will be on their feet tomorrow and wili speak almost ceaselessly until election day—Nov. 2. Vehemence in the Pulpit. Tn_come pulpits today politics was touched upon with as much_vehemenc as campaign orators have shown dur- ing the past weeck; in others the pas tors confined themselves to veiled ref- erences In sermon and prayer. But it is doubtful if any of the thousand and more churghes of . New - York, Brooklyn and the Bronx there was & congregation which was not in some way or another impressed with the fact that & municipal election was at hand. Defeat of Tammany the Issue. “The issue is the defeat of Tammany Hall,” said the Rev R. 8. Mac- Arthur of the Calvary Baptist chureh, in addressing his current events class. “Tammany is the vilest political or- ganization the world has ever known, he continued. “There is not today in any land such a band of political pi- rates as that of Tammany Hall. The organization is a synonym for intel- lectual vacuity, social vulgarity, polit- icay venality and moral turpidity. Iis present boss is master of our mayor. ‘When our mayor was studying sciepce and philosophy in Princeton and was a student of literature and languages in Germany, the present boss of Tammany Hall was washing glasses behind a bar in the ‘gashouse district’ This man is now king of New York. It is amaz- ing that intellectual, patriotic Ameri- cans submit to the rule of this coarse, ignorant, tyrannical czar. Such a rule brings contempt upon the ecity and upon a democratic government. 1 Judge Gaynor is elected this same boss will be his master. Dr. MacArthur characterized Gaynor as “erratic as a judge, unstable as reformer and radical as an agitator.” Tammany No Friend of the Hebrew. Rabbi S, 8, Wise at the Free syna- gogue declared that the time was fraught with danger to the multitude of Jewish people in New York by rea- son of the recent visit of a delegation of thirteen Jewish ministers.who called upon Justice Gaynor and announced riheir. support. These “men he styled as the “self appointed representatives of the Hebrew community in this i “They are guilty of infamy.,” he sald, “for from time to time it is said in ignorance that the leaders of Tammany Hall are friendly to the Jews, T deny such a friendship. Tt would be dis- honoring to the Jews. No decent, self- respecting, law-abiding Jew asks for help, support or favor in any form from Tammany. But there has been a moral gain of late. The masses of New York citizenship are beginning to understand that Tammany Is not their friend and a pail of coal or a Bowery picnic cannot any longer de- ceive the thinking and alert.” . “The Church and Politics,” by Rev. , C. F. Aked, The Rev. Charles F. Aked of the Fifth avenue Baptist church, popular- Iy known as “Rockefeller's church,” #poke on “The Church and. Polities” in his morning sermon. He said: “Amer- ica’s one conspicuous failure is in her cities: their misgovernment .is her re. proach, a scandal to our civilization. And all the world will be the poorer if the genius of the American people, the good, kind, brave people who = are America, do not wrest the government of the cities from the bandits who at once plunder, débauch and disgrace them. “Future generations will esfeem those Americans who will. abandon the ‘business and professional callings - in which great fortunes are to be made in favor of a political career adopted with the single purpose of changing (o}!lr human society into the kingdom of r “We want to see the-thieves who have our great cities by the throat virited by the justice of man and the vergeance of God. We want to see the saloon outlawed from sea to sca and the wreck and ruin which follow upon the drink habit and the drink | traffic forever swept away. We want t) see the last battleship broken up, the last war standard furled and lofd away behind the glass cases of an his- torical museum.” FUGITIVE BUGEYE IS SAFE.

New York, Oct. 24.—William J.
