THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, JUNE 27, 1896. HAMMERSTEIN'S APPEAL GNORED, Germany’s Convict States- man Must Go to Prison. STORY OF HIS CRIMES. Their Discovery a Result of Bitter Political Contro- versies. SOCIALISTS DOG HIS STEPS. While a Discarded Mistress, Out of Revenge, Causes the Arrest of the Fugitive. o BERLIN, GErMAXY June The Supreme Court of the Empire, sitting at Leipsig, has rejected the appeal of Baron von Hammerstein, formerly leader of the | Conservativesin the Reichstag, and editor- | in-chief of the Kreuz Zeitung, from the sentence imposed upon him by the Berlin court upo': his conviction of forgery on | Acril 22 last, C'he sentence of the court was that he be imprisoned for taree years at hard labor, that he forfeit his civil rights for five years and that he pay a fine of 1200 marks. Baron von Hammerstein became 1in- volved in bitter political guarrels, in the course of which the fact was made public that he was guilty of acts of forgery and embezziement for which he should be prosecuted. He tried for a while to brave | the matter out, but seeing that bis arrest | was inevitable he, with his family, fled | from Berlin last July, all of them being in | somewhat straitened circumstances. In the meantime evidences of his guilt, | as the result of fresh discoveries, were ac- | cumulating. It also transpired that he| had been maintaining a mistress, a young | Jewess named Flora Glass, in luxurious style, which ounted for the fact that he and his family were in such a pecuniary plight. rom Fraulein Glass the socialists man- aged to obtain by purchase and otherwise a number of Hammerstein’s letters, im- | plicating a number of Conservative lead- | ers and others in his crimes and misde- meanors, and threatened to make them lic. They tried to have them read in the course of a debate in the Reichstag, but the president would not permit their contents to be disclosed. They also ac- cused the Government of having connived at Hammerstein’s escape, and declared that the authorities had frowned upon any nuine attempts to capture him, in order | preven: disclosures affecting the Con- Su i I [ | | se insinuations and open assertions, however, were completely flattened out by the discovery of Hammerstein in Decem- er last'by a Serlin commissary of police 5, where he bad represented him- | eeks as a well-to-do commis- | ant of the name of William The German police had tracked | through Switzerland and Italy, ana auled and stopped him as he | e port of Athens, and five miles from the city Having run him down the police com- missaries watched him closely during the | re time occupied in making appiica- | s in secret to the Greek Government | nder. | The Greek Government does not extra- | dite culprits except for capital offenses, | but under pressure from Berlin the Athens | authorities took advantage of Hammer- stein’s having registered himself as “Wil- | n Herbert” to expel him from the dom as an anarchist suspect. i Hammerstein, therefore, was compelled | to leave, and embarked on a steamer for | Brindisi. frhe German police also took passage on the steamer, and the moment | the vessel sailed Commissary Woif of the | German police placed him under arrest, and he was supsequently brought back to | Berlin for trial. It was learned that his mistress, Fraulein Glass, had informed the police of Hammerstein’s w aereabouts from time to time, betraying this and other secrets out of revenge, because he did not | take her with him in his flight instead of | taking his family. ILL-USED SEAMEN COMPLAIN. | Another Story of Brutal Treatment at the | Hands of Officers, Desertion and Recapture. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 26.—Five sail- ors who shipped on the snip W. F. Bab- cock for Honolulu and New York six| months ago in San Francisco appeared be- fore Deputy Shipping Commissioner Kee- | nan yesterday and complained that Cap- | tain Robert/J. Graham was wrongfully 1 withholding their wages. They also told | a storv of alleged ill trestment by the cap- | tain, First Mate McEachan and the second | mate. The story, as far as it could be gleaned from the contradictory stories of the men and the captain, is that twelve of the| crew deserted at Honolulu, and that the ‘ captain was compelled to engage a crew of | stevedores at $2 50 a day to unload and load his ship, He wishes to deduct this from the pay of the deserters—who were subsequently arrested and returned to n—as well as $60, the price of a plate- s window broken by members of the crew and paid for by the captain. The men declare that they were driven to leave the ship by the cruelty of the offi- cers, and say that they were advised by the Honolulu police to break the window | of a Chinese laundry so that they wouid | be held in Honclulu after the ship sailed. They deny that the captain paid as much as $250 a day for their substitutes. They also declare that their treatment on the voyage from Honolulu to New York was worse than before. One man exhibited a blood-stained coat and said that he had been beaten into insensibility by the cap- tain with a pair of handcuffs. Another man, Carl Bauer, said that he had been rnocked down as many as twenty times with a capstan bar by McEachan, and a third testified that the second mate had broken the fingers of two Japanese sailors with 2 belaying pin. Captain Graham exhibited a certificate rom Ellis M1ls, the American Consul at Honolulu, stating that he had investizated :he charges of craelty and found them to se unfounded. The investigation will be continued to- lay and the ceptain will berequired to pro- iuce bills for all his claims against tne | Exposition building, on July (WILLIAMS WAS WEALTHY | interpreter on the street, and, although he wages of the men. If they are allowed the sailors will lose all their wages and stili be in debt to the ship. et sl GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS. Thelr Work for a Gold Standard WIIl Not Be Regarded as “Per- niclous Activity.” NEW YORK, N. Y., June 26.—A Herald special from Washington says: Active participation by administration officials in the interest of sound money at the Chi- cago Convention will not be regarded by President Cleveland as “pernicious activi ty” or as a violation of the civil service law. There 1s to be no official announce- ment to this effect, but it is asserted that President Cleveland will not throw any obstacles in the way of any member of the administration taking part in the fight for sound money at Chicago. He does not, of course, wish prominent administration officials to go there with a brass band, but he can see no objection to those who can properly be spared from their duties taking a leave of absence for the purpose oi going to Chicago to -par- ticipate in a dignified way in an effort to convince the siiver delegates of the error of their way. Taking the cue from the President's interview recently published and his activity in writing letters to prominent politicians and business men throughout the country, many prominent officials have determined to assist in the good work by visiting the convention and ap- pealing personally to delegates who are committed to free silver. It is not likely that any of the Cabinet officers will go to Chicago, but most of the Assistant Secretaries and many heads of bureaus in the various departments here will be present at the convention. Assist- ant Secretary Hamlin of the Treasury De- partment, Comptroller Eckles, Mr. Pugh, First Assistant Postmaster-General Jones, Second Assistant Postmaster-General Max- well and Assistant Secretary of the Navy McAdoo are among those who have de- cided to go to Chicago. While the administration men who are going to the convention propose to do all in their power for the cause of sound money, they realize that their task will be one of great difficulty. The temoer of the silver men and their determination to rule or ruin the party are better understood in ‘Washington, perhaps, than in any other place in the country. SILVER PARTY CONVENTION Preparations Being Made for Its Meeting In St. Louls Next Month. ST. LOUIS, Mo., June 26.—Dr. J. J.| Mott of Statesville, N. C., chairman of the National Committee of the Silver party, has come to St. Louis to establish head- quarters for the party. Its National Con- vention is to be held at Music Hall, in the the day set for the opening of the Populist Na- tional Couvention at the Auditorium. Mr. Mott was asked for his views of the proposed union of the silver forces. “It seems to me that our only chance of a complete victory at the polls next No- vember lies in coalition,” he answered. “The silver men cannot win if they divide their strength between two tickets. That there will be a coalition between the silver party and the Populists I have no doubt whatever. 1 may be wrong, but I hon- estly believe that Henry M. Teller could poll more votes for President of the United States than any other candidate.” Next week Mr. Mott will leave for Chi- cago to attend a meeting there of the National Committee of the Silver party on the Fourth of July. The object. of the meeting is to confer with the leaders of the silver wing of the Democratic party on the proposed plan of coalition. D Gorman Won’t Go. BALTIMORE, Mp., June 26,—Senator Gorman asseris positively that he will not 20 to Chicago for the National Convention. He does not think there is any chance to stem the free-siiver tide,and he believes that a free-silver candidate will be nomi- nated. He says, “It looks like Boies.” Gorman does not think Teller stands much chance. et Commercial Travelers’ Supreme Council. COLUMBUS, Oxrmo, June 26.—The Su- preme Couucil of the United Commercial Travelers’ Association met here this after- noon and will remain in session over to- morrow, when officers will be elected. 1Lt is the supreme governing and law-making body of the organization, and this is its annual meeting. To-night the side-issue order of “Bagmen of Bagdad” held a so- cial session. He Now Claims He Is Without Funds and Wants His Wife’s Money. The Careless Manner in Which Thon- sands of Dollars Were Knocked About. The troubles of Richard'S. Williams, the Chinese interpreter recently dismissed by Collector Wise, and his wife, Isabella M. Williams, were aired in Judge Seawell’s court yesterday. Mrs. Williams is suing her husband for divorce oh the ground of extreme cruelty. An order was recently issned by Judge Seawell forbidding Williams interfering with or speaking to his wife. The inter- preter, however, on meeting her on the street a short time ago disobeyed this order and tried to make her converse with him. He pursued her, despite the presence of a policeman, and only desisted when she pointed a rusty pistol in his face. Mrs. Williams nas $3000 in a local bank, and Williams claiming this to be com- munity property, asked for an order of court permitting him to take possession of $1500 of it. Mrs. Williams yesterday entered a demurrer, alleging that {Villiuma’ statement that he is without money is false. She claims that on April 29, 1896, when she left her husband at their home at 422 Scott street, she was obliged to jump out of a window to escape physical injury. In her haste to zet away, Mrs. Willlams says, she left $5300 in greenbacks in a, kitchen drawer, wrapped up in a towel, and over $800 in gold in a canvas bag in a medicine-chest. She claims to have later written & note to Williams so in- forming bim. On June 8, it is further claimed, she and & female friend met the denied finding $6000 in the house, ac- knowledged finding $5000 in all. Williams denies having found any money, and asks for half of the $3000 in the bank. 1t is also claimed that there are a num- ber of personal effects of Mrs. Williams at the Scott-street house, which she is afraid to go after. They are to be delivered at 1028 Greenwich street. Judge Seawell has taken the matter un- der advisement. e Nancy Babcock’s Estate. The will of Nancy T. Babcock was yesterday admitted to probate. Jeremiah Lynch is ap- pointed executor. The estate is worth 8000, ———— YALES CHANCE FOR VICTORY, Expert Ellington Says the Americans Have Not Improved. ROWING IN SLOW TIME. Disposed to Return to Their Old Style When a Fast Stroke Is Attempted. POOR SHOWING IN TRIALS. Work of the Britons Appears Much Better, as Juiged by the Watch- Holder. HENLEY, Exc., June 26.—Mr. Elling- ton, the rowing expert jof the London Field, has furnished to The United Press his impressions as to the work of the Yale crew ou the Thames. “The Yale men have not improved dur- ing the week,” he says. ‘At a slow stroke they row well with a good length of stroke and body swing, but when they row at a faster stroke they are disposed to return to their old style. Yesterday they were nine seconds slower than the New College crew in rowing to the Frawley Court boathouse—half the course—and to- day, with a strong wind behind them, their time was 3:33 to Frawley Court boat- house and 7:17 to the finish, rowing at a stroke of thirty-two to the minute. “Compared with this work Trinity Hall rowed half the course in 3:31 and the whole course in 7:15, at a 34 stroke, while Leander did the half course in 3:22.” Asto Dr. McDowell’s work Mr. Elling- ton said: “Dr. McDowell is rowing much better. He is very fast, but his staying qualities are doubtful owing to the cramped style in which he rows.” The Yale crew took dinner last evening with Dr. J. F. Cooper, secretary of the Royal }‘I_enley regatta committee, and Mayor Simonds of Henley. Bob Cook has raised the slides of the Yale boar, and the men in consequence sit higher and are doing much better plade work. 'BAH FOR CORNELL! A GREAT BOATRACE [Continued from First Page.| { Cornell got away second, Pennsylvania third, and Harvard, who was on the out- side and consequently farthest from the Helvetia, got away last; but the start was a very fair one and none of the crews had any too much the best of it. Scarce twenty strokes had been rowed when a deep groan went up from the train as the champions of last year, the much- fancied upholders of Columbia, were seen to drop back in the ruck. Before 200 yards had been traversed the “’Rah! ’Rah! 'Rah!” of Harvard announced that the crimsons had forged their boat’s nose ahead of Pennsylvania, who were level with Cornell, while Columbia was already alength to the bad. At the quarter-mile Harvard led Penn- sylvania by a length, while Cornell was just about an eighth of alength behind the Quakersand a length and a half 1n front of the Columbia men. Coming up to the half-mile mark Cor- nell drew up to Pennsylvania’s canvas and it was nip and tuck for second place between them, while both crews were gaining on the leader. Passing the first mile Harvard’'s lead was cut down to three-quarters of a length, while Cornell was rowing along just fast enough to keep her a quarter of a length in front of the Quaker crew. Co- lumbia was dropping farther astern as though her shell was anchored. Cornell and Harvard was setting a thirty-five clip at the mile, but Cornell was putting more force behina their stroke and had cut down the Cambridge lads’ advantage to half a length. Pennsylvania, who was rowing thirty-three to the minute, held Cornell to half a length, while the Quakers were still four !engths ahead of Columbia. When the two-mile mark was passed Cornell was only an eighth of a length behind Harvard and a length in front of Pennsylvania. Even up between Cornell and Harvard was the order at the two- mile flag. Cornell was still a length ahead of Pennsylvania. A quarter farther on saw Cornell in the vanguard position from Harvard, despite the latter's desperate re- sistance, and Pennsylvania was three lengths behind the crimson. Then Cor- nell began to show the effects of Courtney’s ideas imbibed in England last year. With long sweeping strokes the Ithacans had their shell a Jength ahead of Harvard,who were in turn four lengths in front of Penn- sylvania. The Columbias were splashing badly eight or ten lengths to the bad and could scarcely keep their boat on an even keel. Half a mile from the finish the order was: Cornell first by two and a half lengths, Harvard second by three lengths, while Pennsylvania was about fifteen lengths in front of Columbia. A tremendous amount of noise greeted Cornell as they entered the last quarter of their trying journey, three lengths in frontof Harvard,on whom Pennsylvania was creeping up fast, two lengths dividing the pair. Cornell hit the stroke up to 37 for the final burst and crossed the line a winner by about four lengths. Pennsyl- vania also increased its speed in the last quarter and Harvard only got home a length and a quarter in front of them. The three leading crews had almost got their shells in tow when Columbia came struggling home one minute and fifty-four seconds after Cornell and Pennsylvania. The official time was returned as fol- lows: Cornell, 19:32; Pennsylvania, 20:11. This time, if correct, establishes a new American record, as the best previous time was 20:10, by Yale, at New London. There 1s a serious discrepancy some- where.. In the official time as given from the referees three and a nalf seconds are generally allotted to a length, and the Cornell crew defeated Harvard by fully four lenghts, or, roughly speaking, by fourteen seconds, whereas the difference ReD Hor, iearless and just—Barry’s Star, * in time shows a defeat for Harvard by three seconds, or, say, three-quarters of a length. None of the timers or the referee could be found up to a late hour to-night, so that it was impossible to find out how the mat- ter will be managed. The Columbia men were pretty well done up, but there were no serious col- lapses. Pennsylvania finished the fresh- est of then&IL. The Cornell boys owned the town to-night. Street parades were formed, giant firecrackers exploded and the cry, “Corneli! I yell, I yell, Cor- nell!” mingled with cheers for the Har- vard crew, made sleep impossible. —_——— ENRAGED BALL PLAYERS. They Attempt to Mob un Umpire Because He Called @ Game. LOUISVILLE, KY., June 26.—To-day’s game between Louisville and Cleveland was a dis- grace from start to finish, and lasted three hours and twenty minutes. The players of both teams made a football of Umvire Weid- man, and engaged in fights between them- selves. Burkett’s home run in the ninth in- ning tied the score. It was almost dark, and Louisville did not try to play, going out one, two, three. In the tenth, Cleveland scored four runs on an error, a single and home runs by McAleer and McGarr. Louisville got three men on the bases when Weidman called the game on account of darkness. This so en- raged the Cleveland players that they made for the umpire in a bunch. McAleer struck him on the jaw. Then the crowd in the bleachers, armed with sticks and beer glasses, made for the diamond, but the police managed to drive them away. Score: Clevelands—4, 9. 0; Louis- villes—4, 9, 2. Batteries—Cuppy and O’Con- nor; Hill and Warner. Umpire—Weidman. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 26.—The locals defeated the champions rather easily this afternoon. Notwithstanding that rain fell be- fore and during the game, 7384 spectators were present. Maul pitched the first inning for Washington and then retired because of difficulty in handling the wet ball. King, who succeeded him did splendid work, and would have kept his opponents’ score down to one run but for errors. Joyce’s work was first class. McMahon was wild and ineffective. Score: Washingtons 9, 10, 2; Baltimores 3, 7, 2. Batteries—King and McGuire; McMahon and Robinson. Umpire—Hurst. BROOKLYN, , June 26.—The Brooklyns again beat the New Yorks to-day, winning the game in the sixth inning aftér the first two men had been retired, on two bases on balls and two hits. Payne stopped several ap- parent hits with men on bases. Jones’ stick work and the fielding of Daly and Connough- ton were the features. Score: New Yorks 1,9, 3; Brooklyns 3,12, 1. Batteries—Clarke and Wilson; Payne and Grim. Umpire—Emslie. CHICAGO, ILL.,, June 26.—Hawley was easy for the Colts to-day, and by bunching hits in the third and fifth ionings they won easily. Friend was a complete puzzle to the Pittsburgs. The Colts stole eleven bases. Score: Chicagos— 12, 10, 1; P 5, 10, 6. Batteries— Friend and and Merritt. Um- urgs—! aley; Hawley . Mo., June 26.—The most ama- teurish exhibition of basebsll ever seen here in s championship game was given to-day by the Browns. Their battery work and fielding were equally bad. The visitors played an ex- cellent game. Score: St. Louis—4,7;7; Cin- ciunatis—16, 17, 1. Baiteries—Hart and Mur- phy; Ehret and Peitz. Umpire—Lynch. BOSTON, Mass., June 26.—Sullivan’s pitch- ing was too much for the Phillies to-day. They tied the game in the third and sfter that made but five hits off him. Captain Nash received a warm welcome and was presented with two elegant stands of flowers. €core: Bostons— 9,11, 3; Philadelphias—4, 11, 5. Batteries— ullivan and Tenney; Taylor and Clements. Umpire—Henderson. - e GENTRY BEAT HIS RECORD. Paced a Mile in Two Minutes Three and @ Half Seconds. RED OAK, lowa, June 26. — John R.

A SNEAK FOR LIBEATY, George Brighton, a Burglar, Tries to Escape in a Court- room. Judge Wallace Sentenced a Robber to Twenty Years in State’s Prison. There was great excitement in Judge Waillace’s court for a few moments yes- terday morning. Sixteen prisoners were in the dock awaiting the pleasure of the court, but when Bailiff P. J. Curtis counted noses as they filed out, try as he would he could find but fifteen of his charges present. It was at first thought that one of the men had been taken to another court, but an examinution of the books showed that all should be present in Department 6. The fifteen remaining malefactors were marched to the prison van, when it was discovered that the missing man was George Brighton, who is charged with an attempt to commit burglary. After a thorough search of the court- room Brighten, who is a smail man, was found stowed away under a bench in the far corner of the railed inclosure in which the prisoners are confined. His intention evidently was to remain there if his ab- sence was unnoticed until the noon recess, and then slip away unobserved. Judge Wallace sentenced two of the six- teen men to terms in State’s prison. Harry Church, who while in a crowd of intoxicated men snatched a watch of 8. H. Smith and ran away with it, was given a twenty-year sentence for robbery. James Buckle{, convicted of burglary, got two and a half vears in Folsom. THREECARNIVAL COLdRS Cardinal, Blue and Gold Are Formally “Adopted to Brighten the Coming Festival, Blue, gold and cardinal were last night formally adopted as the colors for the car- nival of the Golden Gate. Distinguishing designs for the various committees were also adopted. Each design will be placed upon a strip of ribbon representing the three colors. The executive committee will be represented by a five-pointed star; golden for the chairman and silver for the other members of the committee. Cornu- copias of gold and silver will distinguish the finance committee and crossed muskets military parade; miniature yacht will be the emblem of the committee on naval display, flaming torch for the com- mittee on illumination ana decoration, crossed flags for tribunes and grand stands, harp for committee on music, scale of justice for committee on awards of prizes, clasped hands for committee on invita- tion and reception; a bear will distinguish the committee for California day, crossed pens the committee on literary exercises and the strong arm athletic sports. The chairman of these sub-committees will wear a design representing his com- mittee, supported by a small gold star. A small silver star underneath the design will distinguish whether the member is also a member of the executive committee.

INJURED IN A TUSSLE. His Collarbone Broken While Competing With Wrestler Krelling. ; CAPTAIN GILL CONFIDENT. Believes His Men Will Win, Though but Six Will Enter the Lists. PORTLAND, Or., June 26.—No event in the tield of athletic sport has attracted such general attention as the champion- ship contests to-morrow between the Multnomah Club of Portland and the Olympics of San Franeisco. It isa coming together for the first time of the athletes of the north and south on the Pacific Coast. The programme has not been arranged to suit all yet. Chairman Goldsmith of the Multnomah athletic committee, Captain Gill and Captain Fuller bave had several conferences over tne arrangement of the events, and to-day and to-night at the clubhouse the officials are fixing up the programme and selecting the presiding of- ficials for the contests. Since their arrival the Olympic boys have been faithfully training on the track every afternoon. They have been as- signed quarters in the fieldhouse for their exclusive use, and from the manner in which their wants are looked after the California visitors cannot but feél grate- ful. In the two campsof the friendly ene- mies there is but one subject, and that re- lates to the winners that are picked for the particular events in which they are entered. Captain Fuller of the Multnomahs has been reluctant to show his hand, and there | is a suspicion that he may hold all trumps. | His team is in the pink of condition, and when Trainer John King is asked *““What do yon guess?” he smiles in that peculiar fashion that makes conversation super- fluous. There was a little discouragement in the Olympic crowd to-day. Owing to a most unfortunate accident one of their best men has been disabled, so that he will not be counted on in to-morrow's games. Thisis | a serious crippling of Captain Gill’s team. | The disabled man is Phil Wand, the | sprinter. the wrestler, indulged in a grappling | match for practice. Wand was thrown hard, and in the tussle his shoulder was dislocated. It will be impossible for him to make his appearance with the team to- morrow. Captain Gill said this morning that it practically left bim but six men to work for the victories in the thirteen events. Still they will do the best they can. Wand was ccunted upon as one of the standbys of the visiting team. The events constituting the programme for the afternoon are as follows: 100-yard dash, 220-yard dash, 120-vard hurdle, 220- yard hurdle, high jump, broad jump, pole vault, 440-yard run, half mile run, one mile run, 16-pound-hammer throw, 16- pound-shot put, 56-pound-weight tossing. Regarding the chances of the Multno- mah Club there are two disappointments. L. J. Brazee is not in condition for the jumps or the vauits; heis notin shape to enter the lists. Another good man of whom much cannot be expected to-mor- irow is Frank Coyne, who has already demonstrated promising powers in the sprints. Trainer King says that although Coyne will be in the lists too much can- not be expected of him because he is net at all in condition. The rest of the men of both teams are in fine shape.

AR BABY DUNHAMN'S ESTATE. The Child Adjudged Sole Heir to the MeGliney Property. SAN JOSE, CAL., June 26.—M. T. Brewer, guardian of Percy Osborne Brewer, as the sole survivor of the McGlincy murder is now known, was this morning appointed administrator of the estate of James K. ‘Wells, son of Mrs. R. P. McGlincy, and one of Dunham’s victims. Issuance of letiers on the estate wascon- tested by Public Administrator Secord. The question at issue_was_whether Wells or his mother, Mrs. McGlincy. was killed first. If Wells was killed first Mrs. Mc- Glincy’s relatives would come in tor a share of the property, and the child would get its mother’s share only; but if Wells .:‘uyvived its mother the child was the sole eir. Judge Reynolds decided that the evi- dence at the Coroner’s inquest was that Mrs. McGliney was killed several hours before her son, and that the baby was the sole heir. Brewer's bond was placed at .

MUST HAVE MORPHINE. Nora Coffey Stole to Get Money to Buy the Drug. For some time past the people in the Burlington Hotel, on Second and Market streets, have been missing articles of bed- clothing and a close watch was kept on the rooms. Yesterday a Chinese servant dis- covered a strange woman in one of the rooms on the third floor, who was folding up a spread. Officer P.J. O’Donnell was sent for and when the woman saw that she was trapped with the evidence of her guilt she ran down the hall ana jumped through a window into the light well. She landed heavily on a protecting wire screen that is over the entire space on the first floor. The woman was removed to the Receiving Hospital, where she gave the name of Nora Coffey. She is addicted to the use of morphine and it was to obtain the drug that she stole the clothes. She said she lived at the Second-street House. An examination of the injuries showed lthat she had sustainea a badly fractured eg. SR The bridal veil of a Japanese young lady is subsequently used as her shroud.
