TWO OF THEM DIED LATER IN GOUVERNEUR HOSPITAL. The Derrick Was Stationed Seventy Feet Above the Ground and the Two Men Killed Landed on a Pile of Steel Girders. The breaking of guy ropes sustaining @ derrick on the Manhattan approach to the new Williamsburg bridge precipi- tated the workmen into Delancey street and the corner of Goerck street this afternocn. Two of them were killed and the other was slightly injured. ‘The men were Herman Hansen, thirty- two years old, of No. 52 Charles street; Adolph Weber, of No. 74 Bouth Ninth street, Brooklyn, who were Ki.led, and William Pike, of No. 4 Goerch street, who was Injured. The police of the Delancey street station are investigating the cause of the accident, and arrests are probable. ‘The roadway of the bridge at the point where the derrick was stationed is sev- enty feet above the ground. On the gurface of the streets are great piles of steel, ton ond other material and heaps of sand. Hansen, Weber and Pike were the crew of the derrick, and were engaged fn hoisting material from the’ street. When the supporting ropes broke the @errick toppled over and fell across the open work sustaining the framework of the roadway. ‘The. men.went through. Pike landed oh a Heap of sand, and got off with a contused hip, brulsea and internal injuries. which the surgeon who examined him think are not fatal. He insisted upon belng taken to his home, a @hort distance from the scene of the ac- eldent, ‘Hansen and Weber fell on a pile of steel girders and were broken all to pieces. Both were alive when an am- dulance arrived from Gouverneur Hos- pitaol, but they died soon after that in- atitution was reached. ‘Phe superintendent In charge of the motk is unable to say what caused the supports of the derrick to break, and policemen were detailed to gather evi- dence. WOMAN FOUND DEAD BY NEIGHBORS. ied for Two Days, when Search Was Made—Heart Disease the Cause. (Bpeclal to The Evening World.) PATERSON, N. J., July 15.—Mrs, John King, widow of Assemblyman John King, of Passaic, was found dead in her apartments, at No. 203 Straight atreet, Paterson, to-day. She had been missed for two days, and neighbors went to her apartments to-day to inquire her. They found her lying face down on the floor. Coroner Blauvelt and County Physl- cian McBride made an inyestigation. The County Physician said that death ‘was due to heart failure. Assemblyman King was one of the most prominent Republicans in Passaic for more than a decade and served sev- eral terms in the Lower House at Tren- ton. The dead woman leaves a son about twenty-five years old. MYSTERIOUS FIRE IN BANK BUILDING Oll-Soaked Waste Is Found in the Basement and Police \re Investigating.

SUSPECTS IN CASE ARE SET AT LIBERTY. Three of the Four Men Who Have Been Under Suspicion Regain Their Freedom by What Inspector Titus Calls the Process of Elimination. Thoroughly aroused by the Roxbury murder, the citizens of the Bronx are to assemble in mass meeting Friday night to protest against whet they call the Inadequate police protection afford- ed that section of the city. The leader of this movement !s the Rev. John W. Campbell, pastor of the Tremont Methodist Episcopal Church, assisted by T. C. Lewis, @ real estate dealer, of 604 Tremont avenue. Both were active this afternoon consulting other residents as to the course to be pursued, The meeting will b held in Dr. Campbell's church. “There {s no doubt in our minds but thag Mr. Roxbury was the victim of Webbers," said Mr. Campbell, “and there is no telling when another one of our citizens may meet his death in the same way. We have been neglected by the city authorities shamefully. Our protests have been unheeded. We have deen laughed at when we have asked for ample protection. New -we propose 'fo take some steps to have out rights reepected."’ ‘ Price Fans the Flame. ‘Former Police Capt. James K. Price was a visitor to the Bronx this afternoon and fed the flame of the in- dignation of the citizens. ‘The Cap- tain's last command before his retire- ment was the precinct In which oc- curred the Roxbury tragedy. He told the citizens that frequently he went to Mulberry street, and asked for an in- creased force. Ho sald the police pré- tection should be four times what it was, but that he was only sneered and laughed at. Although twenty-five detectives, worR- ing the direct supervision of In- Spector T.tus, are trying to solve tae mystery of the murder of Charles Rox- bury last Friday night. the solution ts not in sight. Ingpector Titus says he has been working by the “process of jeliminatioh”’ on four suspects ané that three of them have been eliminated, Ex-Convict Goes Free, The tirst is the ex-convict, who was suspected from the first. He has cleared himself of suspicion. ‘The second 1s the man seen on a trolley car crossing One Hundred and Sixty-first street, at 10 P. M., an hour after the murder, It is known that the murderer reached One Hundred and Sixty-first street less than ten minutes after Mr. Roxbury was at- tacked, or a Httle after 9 o'clock, and It 4s not likely that he would wait around there for an hour before taking a car. A farmhand who was employed in the neighborhood of the scene of the crime was suspeoied, but has*proven sn allbl, Another farmhand under suspicion has disappeared, It is thought that Inspec- tor Titus had him in mind when he said there were four suspects. At any rate, the detectives profess to be conducting a vigorous search for a certain man whose record in the nelghboravod Is un- savory. Know the Murderer. While considerable feeling exists be- tween the police and Coroner Berry be- cause of the latter's “perniciovs ac- avity,"" as the poilce term it, the Cor- mer evidently anticipates their next trove. Ho said to-day: “The police practically know who murdered Roxbury, and they would huve Little trouble In arresting him at any time, I haye been given to under- stand that the suspect is being closely watched and that his incarceration in a cell is merely delayed in the kops that through some act he may heip to con- vict himself.” The suspect 1s what is known to the police as a “sushwhacker.” A ‘oush- whacker’ 1s one who conceals hiinself In qulet places, notably in shady parts of the parks, at night, and demanus blackmali from couples ne surpris there. This suspect has been a frequen visitor to a saloon near Morris avenue and One Hundred and Sixty-frst street and lives near there. He has been without legitimate em ployment for a year or more, and vari ous policemen In that locality have sus pected the means through which he was able to obtain money, of witich he seemed to have plenty. In fact, one of sis victimes recognized him and #0 re ‘ved to the police, but he would uo prosecute because of the pubilcity, BIG CROWDS SEE RACES THE ATLANTE STKE EASILY Well Ridden by Gannon, Frank ~Farrell’s Colt Had Little Trou- ble in Finishing in Front of Bob Murphy in Brighton’s Feature Event. “DAVY” JOHNSON LOSES $125,000 AND RETIRES.

BRIGHTON BEACH RACE TRACK, July 15—David Johnson, the famous plunger, who has won and lost for-. tunes on the turf, is an absentee from the ring. He has lost since Westch 125,00, and mow owes In the ring a sum estimated to be $50,000, this amount Johnson has given four and six months’ notes, all indorsed by Sam Barry, an old-time dookmaker, now wealthy and retired. Johnson !s not regarded as a “welch- er” by any means. He has been “‘over- | board,” to use the language of the ring, many times before, but has always recouped his losses and made good. At one time in his career It is sald that he owed $100,000 in the betting ring, all of which he repaid later, and was reinstated In good standing. Johnson was a member of the Metro- politan Turf Association, but last win- ter he sold his seat and announced his retirement from the turf. He was a heavy loser last season.
