GL MAKES VOW TO ED MINS LF Young Woman Found Praying in the Streets in Jersey City De- clares She Will Have Revenge for Wrongs. STILL UNABLE TO TELL NAME Says that She - Smith College Grad- uate and that Study Unbalanced Her Mind—M:y B> Ada Barker, Who Has Figured in Hospitatis. “1 will Kill him, If I never do another thing on earth," With her sad, dull blue eyes lightened "@p for a moment with sudden ieeiing Ada Barker, the mysterious young froman who was found kneeling in myer on the sidewalk In Union street, Jersey City, to-day vowed vengeance to am Evening World reporter against a Man whose wrong to her has helped unbalance her mind. In Hudson County Jail, where the Young woman fs awaiting identification @nd examination as to her sanity, her Personality ts still a mystery. Every time a direct line of thought is sug- @ested her mind suddenly wanders. She ean talk with fluency on the deepest Pillosophical subjects and can disouss the minutest physchological problem, put is still unable to give a clue as to her own identity. Clad in a blue dressing-jafket and black and white figured skirt, her beau- tigul reddish brown hair parted over her ow forehead and braided into heavy plaits, her blue eyes’ looking pathetically tato space, Ada Barker says she was @teiving to clve information that will lead to finding her people. Smith College Graduate. “I am a graduate of Smith College," ®he sald. “I was born in Kentucky, f@nd when eight years old was brougat by my father to Brooklyn, where I at- tended a private school. My mother ts ead and my father !s now in Scotland, but will be in this county the tweifth a@t September. “I attended the Post-Graduate Col- lege here in New York, but when I was fn Smith College a doctor told my father that hard study had brought me mear mental collapse and that I had better have a month's rest, I think @tudy made my brain weak, but I have had such trouble with this man that ft's no wonder my brain is tired. He @hot me at Huntington, L. T., when we ‘were playing tennis, Of course I loved him, and I followed him to California and Mexico. I saw him twife, but I ‘Aidn't Kill him, 1 will yet, though.’ The young woman talks incoherently @t times and can not remember @nough about her relatives to give a ‘elue, though she says {f’she !s put on a Court street car she can find her way home. “I want to go to my brother, Arthur,” Bhe said. “I came to Jersey City from Lancaster, Ohio., the other day and Jost him when he was looking after the trunks.” In the young woman's ~ossessions are 1 poems, among them acrostics to her by, a Mrs. 8. 8.

Several photographs of young women. one of them bearin, the name of Viola Walker, were foun fm her valise. Interested in Insanity. Most noticeable of all the woman's longings is the collection of philo- fophical writings and clippings from newspapers, The treatment of the éngane—the cure by music—and similar Bubiects seems to have interested her. All of the poems, some of them written by Ada Barker herself, deal with pess!- miism and with morbid sentimentality. ‘When questoned closely she said that Mrs. Lamphear-Jones was the mother the chum with whom she had grad- ed from Smith College My uncle is a specialist on nervous Wiseases,” she asserted once, “but ean't remember his name. If they would ‘only let me sleep I could remember. think he Ives at No. 9 Taylor street, Brooklyn.” . Several addreses have been given by the young woman, but they have proved Actitious, Her strange actions have ted the au- thorities to belleve that she is the same Ada Barker who has figured n_ police and hospital records for several years. She tells of her grandfather havini left her a fortune which she squan- dered, giving part of it to the man who wronged her. | Record of One Ada Barker.

Hf: YOUNG MAN SHOT ON A STRAW-RIDE Coach Accidentally Ran Into the Scene of Roadside Duel, and Now Gay Party Is in Dread that Publicity May Follow. PATERSON, N. J., Sept. 4—There are six young men and eight young women of this clty in mortal fear that their names will become known In connection with the shooting of young Harry R. Loagbotiom, of the Rogers Locomotive Works, who 1s in St. Joseph's Hoep'tal with a bullet wound In his back. ‘Their anxiety {s natural, for the shooting oc- curred during a secret “straw ride" to @ roadhouse at Undercliffe, and while it was in a sense accidental those who know about it are willing to’ keep quiet. The story told is that the party of young people—ail said to be of good families in Paterson—were riding past the spot near the Wagaraw River bridge, where:the body of Jennele Boss- chieter was, found, when they ran Into a pistol duel in which six men were en- gaged; that one of the men took refuge in the stage in which they were rid.ng and that in the shooting that followed young Longbottom was shot in the back. Outside of Longbottom the only per- son known to have been a memoer of the party Js Wiliam Van Riper, a den- Ust, with @ place of business in New York. Van Hiper, it ts sald, obtained the name and address of the man who Jumped into the stage, and they have been found fMetitious, ‘Phe party of which Longbottom was a member numbered sixteen, eight young men and eight young women, ranging {rom nineteen to twenty-three yeary of age. None can be found who saw them Jeave Paterson for thelr moon- light ride to the road touse, although they left early in the evening of Wednesday. They were all singing when they. crossed the Wagaraw River, but their singing came to u stop when they heard the sound of shots in the road ahead. Suddenly they ran into two men and two women. ‘Che men were ed in firing at four ocaer men acro! who were alsy shooting, and were making for the woods ser: .v driver of the stage stopped his He yelled to the driver to whip horses and go on, and he drives, who couldn't hold hold the horses any- how. did so, ‘The companion of the man who had jumped into the wagon disappeared in the woods after the women, and the tour men directed thelr shots at the straw-ride party. One of thelr bullets struck Longbottom, who dropped un- conscious into the straw in the bottom ot tne vehicle. Three of the young women fainted and one would have dropped out and been run over had act she been grabived in time With a wounded man and threw Women unconscious in the bottom of the stage, the horses running away and bullets whistling ll around them, the members of the “straw ride" party were having the time of their lives. After the horses had run about a mii they tired and stopped. It 1a decided to drive on to Ridgewood aad Bet a doctor, On the way the mys- rho had jumped aboard stage. told his story Ho said that he and his companion wero walking down the road with two women when they were. met by four Itatians, who made insulting remarks. ‘The Itallans became so threatening that he drew his revolver and his companion did likewise. ‘Then the Italians began firing and the ‘‘straw ride" party came into view. At Ridgewood, Longbottom was treat- ed by Dr, Harries, who advised that he deb sent to the hospital in Patterso’ He rode to St. Joseph's 4n a carriage accompanied by Van Riper. The others went back in the stage and mneaked to thelr homes through side streets, The raya tariolis man disappeared at Ridge- rood matter came to the attention of Chief of Police Peter Tulls, of Ridge- wood, yesterday and he began an in- igation which he says establishes the truth of the story told by tae FOUnE folks of Paterson.

He has not succeeded in getting the names of the young people who were with Longbottom and Van Riper, and says it would be of no use. Tae Paterson police haye taken no interest in the affair. ‘The Longbottom family did not know of Harry's intention to go on the atraw ride and the first intimation of his in- jury enched them from the hospital, nasmuch as the young man is aorlotily Injured his relatives have de- not to make vigor hig taraiant. igorous search for Varrants were dssued this afternoon by Justice Diamond for the arrest of three men believed to have been impll- gated in the shooting of Longbottom, Their names are John Rash, Edward Bash and John Alcedo.
