9 BRIDGE JOMPE AN OD RECLUSE Known as “Lone Australian” at Mills Hotel No. 1, Where He _ Had Lived Life of Mystery for . Two Years. “The Lone. Australian,” long the mys- tery of the first meszanine floor in Milla Hotel No. 1, at No. 160 Bleecker street, to-day proved to be the unknown who jumped from the Brooklyn Bridge May 2%. For two years he had lived at the hotel under the name of “A. Much,” which 1s believed to have been assumed, as his actions were constrained and gave evidence of an accusing conscience. In solving the mystery of the man fished out of the East River a greater myrtery has been uncovered. When the suicide first appeared at the Dig lodging-house he was travel-staiged and wild-eyed. ‘Give me a quiet room," try Office. “It ts a good rest I want after a 14,000-mile journey."’ ‘That the stranger was an Australian Aid not come out until weeks afterward. A letter bearing a postmark of the far- a@way British possession was dropped in the corridor by him. When it was picked up and returned by an attendant the late occupant of room No. 4 became confused and excitedly asked if the name had been noted. “I did not have the chance,” was the reply, Much looked relieved, .It was thus be came to be known as "The ‘Lone Australian.” Spoke to No One. + In the two years of his stay In the Jodging house Much never spoke to an- other Inmate of the place. He was fre- quently addressed, but he would glance hurriedly away, and move to a dis- tance from the person making the in- quiry, Within the last three months his mind has been gradually breaking fown. For hours at a time he would «alk in his room, and the attendants moted his queer actions. “It was with difficulty that the floor man could get him to leave his room, Where he brooded,” said Supt. 1b. L. Thomas to an Evening World reporter. “A rule of the hotel is for the patrons to vacate their rooms from 10 A, M. until 5 P. M. each day, in order to give the chambermalds an opportunity to glean up. Much was the queerest lodger in the hotel, and after careful inquiry, I cannvt get a bit of information as to his relatives or friends. The man was weighed down by some secret sorrow.” Mind Seeminaty Affected. On the evening of Sunday, May 2, the Australian went away “with his ther satchel, and was last seen by the attendants walking up Bleecker street In the direction of Broadway. He was making strange motions with his hands. Where he spent Sunday night ig not known, and he was next seen by Fireman John Clark, a fellow-passenger upon a. Brooklyn ‘trolley. cag. to Heap from the bridge on the New York side. Hie body was not recovered until terday, when ft was identifled throug @ key ‘to his room at the Mills Hotel. Much Was always well provided with money. ‘It was apparent that he stopped at caeap quarters In order to. avoid former associations. His effects have not been recovered, It Is believed that he sunk them In the River before jumping from the bridge. WILLIAM E. DOBSON IS FREE. Cashier, Who, Killed Peeples, Ia Discharged from Custody.’ William E, Dobson, the cashier of a brokerage firm: at No, 40 Wall street, who, on March @, shot and killed Will+ iam J. Peeples. st ‘No. 62 Bast One Hun- red and Nineteenth street, was honor- ably discharged from custody to-day by Judge Martin T, McMahon in General Sessions, ‘A special jury was empannelled a week ‘0 to try Dobson, bur upon Investiga- thon by Assistant District-Attorney Ely, District-Attorney Jerome decided that a conviction could not be hoped for. Law yer Abraham Jevy, Dobson's counsel thereupon asked for’ Dobson's discharge, which Judge McMahon granted, Mr. Ely seid afterward that Dobson had only acted in self-defense, killing Peeples while protecting himself. OUT $200 IN A FEMALE BEAUTY SHOW Brocklow Didn't Want It, However, So He Has His Alleged Partner Arrested. Max Brocklow, of No. 119 West Forty- ninth street, appeared before Magistrate Connorton in the Long Island City Court to-day against Frank W. Hartwright. Brocklow met Hartwright, who Is fifty years old, by answering an advertise- ment for @ partner in a scheme In which the profits were to be enormous. Hart- wright, then at No. 123 West One Hun- dredth street, unfolded a pian to start a female baseball and basketball team, to meet all comers, He said he had once been in with Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany, tn a similar scheme in which they made $2,000 in one day. He produced for Brocklow’s inspection ten young girls whose ages ranged from fif- teen to eighteen yeara. These had been seoured for the ‘‘Femele Beauty and Athletic Show.” Brocklow promptly turned over §200 and with the members of the boauty show went to Peekskill, where a week was sent In rehearsing the members of the petticoated baseball team. Toward the endof the week Hartwright went to New York and did not return. Brocklow, who is young and bashfful, had the entire beauty show on his hands, He got them back to the city on the fiest «rain and na search for Hartwriht. He found bim in As- toria to-day and had him arrested. Bail was furntshed and the case was| ut over, Leader Murphy sent word to Magistrate Connorton indignantly deny- ing that he had ever been in partner- ship with Hartwright. 15 POOR LOS SEE LOW. Nard Heart and Bad Wound Among the Indians Who Call on the Mayor. Fifteen stalwart Iadians decked in war paint and feathers called on Mayor Low at the City Hall to-day and shook hands with the “Great White Chief of Manhattan.” The Indians had just arrived from the wild plains of Coney Island after a long and daring ride over the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company's trail. En route the red men stopped but once during the tedious and venturesome ride, to partake of refreshment in the form of high balls in Fulton gulch. There were among them Chiefs Red Bhirt, Blue Horse, Crow Dog, Sitting Bull, jr., Shot in the Knee, Hard Heart. Black Heart, American Horse, Hollow Horse Bear, Eagle Horse, Rocky Bear, Painted Horse, Last Horses and Bad Wound. When Mayor Low told the red men he was glad to see them the Indians grunted and departed, <<< ‘WOMAN’S CREATIVE GENIUS’ Miss Spencer Tells Sorosin About the Woman in Music, ‘The feature at the regular meeting of Sorosis yesterday afternoon was a paper delivered by Miss Kay Matthews Spencer on ‘Woman's Creative Genius th Ofusic,”” a condensation of her regu- | lar lecture-recital-on.the oudject.
