SHE GAVE WRONG ADDRESS Widow, Who Claimed Body, Says Dead Man Was Once . Prosperous — Told Girl’s Mother He Was Unmarried. Reason for the reticence of Miss | Lizzie McGovern, who was with Law- yer William F. Roth, of Brooklyn, | when he was killed by a Manhattan | each train at the Vesta avenue crossing yesterday evening, became apparent to-day when the widow of the dead men appeared at the Morgue and claimed the body. She lives with her “three children at No. 162 Fifty-sixth street, and the flinerat | will be held from that address. Miss McGovern remains in St. Mary's Hospital suffering from in- juries received in the accident. She | was visited there to-day by her sis- | ters and brothers, who live with her at No. 312 Sixteenth street. To them the girl related the story of the col- Msion that resulted in Roth's death. She had ridden out to Canarsie with | Roth, and they were on their way home when the accident occurred. The buggy waz on the Manhattan Beach track, when a train was seen about 100 feet away. There was plenty of time for escape, but the watchman at the cross: ing held to the horse and would not allaw it to proceed, despite the fact that Roth shouted at him and beat the animak with a whip. Triet"tasbagn Migs > The watchman tHed to back the rig. When the train struck the buggy Roth was knocked 100 feet. Miss McGovern's escape was almost miraculous. The horse was Killed, but the watchman escaped injury and was arrested later. At first Miss McGovern refused to give Roth's name, and when she did she gave an incorrect address. Roth came to Brooklyn from Chicago about eighteen years ago, Fifteen years ago he was married to Amy Snedeker, a daughter of J. F, Snede- ker, who I in the réal estate business in Fifth avenue, Brooklyn, and one of the best-known men on Long Island, Another of his daughters married Deputy County Clerk Wiseman. According to Mrs. Roth her array life was not entirely happy. Her hu band was of q careless, happy-go-lucky disposition, handsome and fascinating. The wife heard often of attentions he paid to other women, but bore her suf- ferings In silence, Some months ago Roth could not pay the rent of his office in the Temple-Bar Building in Brooklyn and was dispos- ceased. Then he entered the office of Frederick Rockwell as a clerk on a mall salary.

HAND. It ts beleved that Sensation Sprung by Disbrow Prosecution—Testimony of’ Coroner Nugent Flatly Contradicted—Physician Says Wounds Were Inflicted Ere Death—Acquaintance of Prisoner Tells of Accused Man's Narrative to Him—Stir in the Crowded Court-Room. GOOD GROUND, L. I., July 3.—The prosecution in the case of Louis A. Disbrow, who is accused of mutdering Clarence Foster and Sarah (“Dimple”) Lawrence, furnished a sensation to-day. District-Aitorney Smith, before court opened, announced that he would contradict the testimony given yesterday by Coroner Nugent, who swore that there was no wound on Clarence Foster’s head, The prosecutor then made good his promise by calling witnesses who gave testimony diametrically opposed to that of the Coroner, swearing that Foster's head was wounded and bruised, and that any one could have detected these wounds and bruises. Dr. Thomas Chattle, who examined Foster's body, was a strong witness for the State, He swore that Foster had been badly injured before he died. j William Walton, a painter, of Good Ground, was another star witness for the prose= |cution. For_a time, while testifying, he appeared to be held under a hypnotic spell by |Disbrow. When he could go on with his testimony, he swore that Disbrow had told him of his fight with Foster on the beach at Good Ground. He also told a circumstantial story of what Disbrow had told him concerning Foster and Miss Lawrence on the night of June 10—the night following the tragedy. In explaining his action—the virtual impeachment of his own witness, Nugent—the District-Attorney declared that it was necessary for the State to upset the Coroner's testi- mony, because of the Coroner's official position. There was a stir among the spectators in the crowded courtroom when Mr. Nugent’s evidence was flatly contradicted. uae DISBROW CALMLY HEARS DAMAGING EVIDENCE.
