WE TELS OF TRIG ib % Describes the Shooting of William John Peppler by _ William Earl Dobson, Who Was, It Seems, In- fatuated with Her. MEN FOUGHT OVER GIFT. Murderer Flees, but Is Found at Friend’s Home, and Cause of the Shooting Narrates a Frank Story of Her Life. y Perhaps the story told by pretty Rosa Peppler concerning her degradation, her rescue, her marriage and the unequal @ivision of her love between her hi band, William J. Peppler, and his slayer, ‘William E. Dobson, may help Dobson in his trial for the crime, but the police believe its recital will substantiate their theory that her liberally distributed af- fection might have deen responsible for the tragedy. Rather a Cold Statement. ‘After she had been taken from the Co ets of the killing in the hall of the a flat-house at No. 60 East One Hundred and Nineteenth street, and after Dob- fon had been arrested at the home of a friend, whither he had fled, Mrs. Pep- ) pler made this statement in the most | + Placid, unaffected, cold and emotionless mafiner: “I was sixteen years old when I came to New York from the Austrian Tyrol three years ago, and I was in- flueed to go to an evil resort by a man whom I trusted. I had to remain there. I soon met Peppler. He fell in love with me and took me away. I kept house for him and we lived happily in @ flat in West Fifteenth street. He ‘Was employed as a clerk by a produce @ealer in Washington Market. After a few months he lost his place and began to treat‘me badly. I was miserable. He left me destitute. “Then I met Mr. Dobson, He was a stock broker, he told me, and he fixed up @ beautiful flat for me. One day last fall I met Peppler in the street. He followed me home, and began to call there often, and at last Mr. Dobson saw ‘him. I explained that he was my cousin » @nd that he was in hard luck and Mr. ~ Dobson lent him money. | Said She Wouldn’t, Then Did. “Peppler last December began to urge ee to marry him. He said he had loved ne and that no man must come between us. I asked Mr. Dobson. He sald: ‘Well, it's out of the question for me to marry you. If you like Peppler go mhead and marry him.’ “So I told Peppler all right, and we ‘Were married on Jan. 2% last. Mr. Dob- qon made me a present of all the furnt- ture we used to have in our fiat. moved into this flat in One Hundred and Nineteenth street. Peppler lost his employment again in February. He ‘began to treat me badly again, “I went to see Mr. Dobson, and that made Peppler mad. He said if Mr. Dob- fon ever came near him he would fix him. I came home this morning, after calling on Mr. Dobson, and found my husband on the sidewalk, waiting for me, He took me by the arm, He sald ‘Come. I will show you what I am go- ing to do. I am going to sell all our furniture, You can gv.’ “I telephoned downtown and Mr, Dob- @on came up to our flat. He told Pep- pler he must let the furniture alone. Peppler kept on packing it up.

This morning one of the stablemen took the animal out and hitched him to a light wagon. Then he drove out onto the asphait pavement intending to go to Bernard's. Pavement Was Slippery. The wet asphalt was slippery and the horse fell. This angered the driver. He unhitched the horse as he lay on the pavement, and getting a whip from the stable began to beat him as a punish- ment for having fallen. Under the sting of the lash the horse struggled to his feet and started toward the Bowery. The man atill clung to the reins with one thand. With the other he kept up his cruel work with the whip. The horse became more and more frightened and ran the faster. At Second avenue-.the stableman was dragged off his feet and had to let go, but the horse, now wild with pain, anger and fear, plungedon through the street, scattering the crowds on thelr way to work and narrowly missing a number of wagons.

They saw the horse plunge across the powers while men and women jumped aside with yells of fright, and made dead ahead full speed. Both of them leaped aside as the horse, head up and tail a-flying, made a fina Plunge into one of the windows. There was a great scattering of glass and spurt- ing of blood all over the sidewalk. The horse gave a convulsive moan and sank .]down, quivering. In less time than It takes’ to write it he was dead. The crowd closed in and ‘groaned at what they saw.

Magistrate Refuses Warrants to Policemen Who Report Al- leged Sunday Violations to Him in Essex Market Court. BETTER THAN THE SERMONS. The appearance of several policemen attached to the Eldridge street police bitation before Magiptrate Leroy B Srane in. Essex Market Court to-day, with reports on the Bast Side theatres and concerts halls open Sunday night, led to an interesting revelation of Mag- {strate Crane's views on the subject, ‘The policemen who could show no vio- lation of the law were sent back to their captain with the information that until they could prove such violation the matter was without the Magistrate's Jurisdiction, “The Sunday concert is a good thing, 1 believe,” sald the Magistrate to an Evening World reporter, “and laws should Ue so regulated that they should not be restricted. To me there is more religion in music than in all the ser- mons ever preached, and I have heard sume sloquent speakers. The best thoughts I have ever had were not aroused by sermons, but by music. To Elevate the Workingman, "Some place should be open on Sun- day to the workingman where he may keep in touch with restful and elevating Influences. “The Bible says: ‘Remember the Sab- bath day, to keep it holy,’ but it does not say to deny yourself all pleasure on that 4. Music means everything. It is the most ennobling influence in the world, and to deny the people of such & right would be indeacribably bad. “The laboring man has but one day to rest and he 1s not always in a condi- tion to appreciate a sermon. Let him wo to the Sunday night concert, where his soul as well as his body is refreshed. “The same rule applies to all Sunday night concerts. I believe they are a@ great power in reaching the masses, “Ot course, when I uphold these Sun- day night entertainments I do not coun- tenance vaudeville performances or any kind of undue levity. Personally I don't believe it would hurt me to witness a Sunday evening performance of any kind, but we must remember the influ- ence on the children and also regacd the views of other people. No Harm in Concerts, ‘No harm can possibly come of con- certs, but there is no necessity in shock- ing the sensibilities of the great number of people who belleve in conventlonality. “I have never attended a Sunday night concert in my Ife, but I-am broad-mind- ed enough on the subject to realize thelr great benefit to humanity “The time hes passed when Sunday should be regarded as a day to sing hymns and lok nensive, “It is @ day of rest and should be re- garded as such.
