TOLEDO, ©., Oct, 30.—The peculiar r possexsed by ‘Prof. Twice, acher of this city, caused the children under his charge to mob him to-day, His clothes were torn from him, his eves were black and he was covered with bruises from head to foot. } The Professor got an idea that the children wanted to be amused.

Cocheu Testifies in Bankruptcy Proceedings that Mrs. G. W. Vanderbilt Was to Help Him. ‘ MR, ORESSER DENIES | | I7./ | | Lawyer Gruber Makes an Effort to) Keep the Names of Mrs Vander- bit and Mra. Brown Out of the Hearing. At the hearing to-day tn the bank- Tuptey proceedings against D. Le Roy Dresser & Co. further testimony was taken as to the value of the $50,000 in securities put wp in connection with the organization of the Richmond Real-Es- tate Development Company, of which Mr. Dresser was President. Mr. Dresser had testified at the former hearing that his sisters, Mrs. George W. Vandertbit and Mrs. J. Nicholas Prown, had noth- ing whatever to do with his business. Referee Stanley W. Dexter brought the package of securities in question, which on their face represent a valua- tion of three-quarters of a million dollars, but which, it is alleged, are worth a very small fraction of that amount. The first witness was Fred C, Cocheu, a real estate and investment broker, of Brooklyn. On belng questioned by J. Aspinwall Hodge, attorney for the trustee, the witness said he was given to understand that Mrs. George W. Vanderbilt and Mrs. J. Nicholas Brown | were to lend support to the company. | Col. Gruber, attorney for the Importers | and Traders’ Bank, objected to testi- mony tending to show what Mrs. Van- derbilt and Mrs, Brown had to do with the transaction, as it was not of record that they were concerned in the matter at all. Mr. Hodwe insisted of a full and com- plete hearing, saying that there were Dresser’s sisters with the case, ‘The referee said the affairs of the Richmond Company haf nothing To do with the case, except so far as Mr. he dressed one of the chiltren ag a monkey and tried to persuade bim to play trloks. and the professor essayed force. amusement began right there. Actuated by a common ‘mpulse, every boy in the school etarted for the pro- \ fessor at once. Apparently they all reached him at about the same time. The pastime of beating him up was s0 alluring that they would not desist until policemen were called, The assault was commended by the whole school aud hundreds of puplls @athered on the grounds after the noon appeared, under police protection, and again he was mobbed, the policemen | belng powerless to help him.

BROTHERS STICK TO THEIR STORY. The ruse of the police in suddenly breaking the news of the suicide of Charles and John to-day in the hope that they would confess all the facts concerning the murder of their sister Mabel was Even the new horror did not serve to break them down. “Tom killed himself,” they explained, “‘hecause he could not go to Ma- He loved her dearly, and to be In jail accused of killing her when she was being buried was teo much for him,” They asked all the details of the suicide of Tom; how he got the knife, where he cut himself, how deen the cut was, how long he lived, and so on, The poor old mother, bowed down by her surpassing weight of shame, was not informed of the slaughter of her eldest son until to-day, A report went abroad that she had taken poison In an attempt to kill herself, but this rumor was found to be due to the hasty summons Further search of the house to-day revealed blood spots on the walls Spots believed to have been made by the blood of the girl were found on the cellar floor, It 1s the police belief in Glass Silk Factory|that the family sought to conceal the body in the cellar, but afterward decided on the more open method ofcarrying it out to the street and leay- it there in the hope that suspicion might attach to another, He was asked again to ‘Dresser was directly concerned, Col.
