Miss Ellx Eagan, of No. 120 Leroy street, and Miss Margaret Kenney, of (No. 109 Christopher street, with the other witnesses in the Lewis case, were taken before the Grand Jury to-day, in ‘en effort to secure the quick indictment and trial of Du Veau. “We will probably be able to convict Du Veau,” said Chief County Detective Hammond, “of the leadership of a num- ber of the most daring robberies, where tuuman life has been jeopardized, if not actually sacrificed, He admitted to one man that this Lewis case was his fifth in two years, and we have evidence that there are more. He had at various times in his émploy the most desperate and dangerous criminals, who usually desert- ed him after turning one trick because hhe would seize the proceeds, We also fave evidence to show that he had planned many similar crimes for exe- ution in the immediate future.’ Mr, Rockefeller gave the white, oretty | ‘Phe story which led to the arrest of| creature the run of his broad acres.

SHE ASSERTS THAT HE HAD BEATEN HER. Husband Charges Her with Re- ceiving Attentions of Another Man—Woman Held to Await Result of Injuries. ‘The domestic troub!es of Mr. and Mrs. ‘William Davis culminated early to-day when the woman shot her husband over the heart in the hall outside their apart- ments at No, 961 Hancock street, Brook- lyn The bullet glanced around the rtb and {t {s not certain that he wil! die. Every effort was made to keep the af- fair from the police. After the shooting Mrs. Davis fled to a vacant apartment on the top floor of the building. and] Davis asked William Lee, who lives across the hall, to call a cab, The two went to the Bushwick Hospital, There, too, they made a request to have the shooting kept quiet. but the hospitalauthorities telephoned to the po- lice. Two detectives went to the house, but could not find Mrs. Davis. Later they returned and found her in bed tn the Lee apartments. She had taken refuge there after leaving the vacant flat above. Says Husband Beat Her. It was because he had continually beaten her and had tried to again to- day that she shot him, she said, Time after time she had esubdmitthd to his cruelties until, in desperation, she had purchased a revolver to protect herself, Davis accused her of infidelity and said, the police say, that often when he came from his bookstore, at No. 22 Duane street, Manhattan, he was forced to walt at the door and ask if his wife were alone. They quarrelled frequently about a man, who, he maintained, wus too attentive to Mrs. Davis. The couple went across the hall last evening to call on the Lees, and there the discussion was resumed. It is al- loged that Davis talked so scathingly to his wife that Mrs. Lee ordered him out of the apartment. He went, and was soon followed into his own home by his wife. Mrs. Lee told this story of what follow: “We heard them still talking loudly in thelr own home until they fnally ran into the hall. Then there was a shot and my husband and I ran out. Mr. Dayis was lying on the floor and Mrs, Davis was running up the stair: ‘Wants Shooting Kept Quiet. “Evidently no one else had heard the shot. Mr. Davis did not seem to be eeriously hurt. He turned to us and asked us to keep the matter quiet and send him to the hospital in a cab.° Mr, Lee went there with him, but the hos pital people sent word to the police. “Mrs. Davis was not in my house when the police first came. She had hidden upstairs in a vacant flat, anu when they went she came down. She was nervous and sick and did not want *!to spend the night in the police station, I put her in bed."" The police found her there and took her-to the station house and later to the hospital, where her husband iden- tMed her as his wife and the woman to him nor did he speak to her in the short time she stood beside his bed. ‘When araigned in the Gates Avenue Court to-day Mrs, Davis refused to make a statement. She pleaded not guilty and was held without bail. Drossed tastily in dark clothes of @ atylish pattern Mra, Davis made a pre- porsessing appearance in Magistrate Furlong's court-room. She is rather short, of dark complexion with bdig brown eyes and brown halr., , Mrs. Davis sald to an Evening World reporter: “My people kept a big book store in Berlin, where I was born, Anxtous to see America I ran away from home when I was sixteen years old. This in- discreet act was due to a woman I met In Berlin, and through descriptions ot ‘America my {deas soared knd my ambl- tlons became Inflated. Arriving here, [ supported myself In the best way I kniw how until I met Davis. “We were married, ‘Then my trouble hegan. So quarrelsome was my husband that we were put out of several places where we were living, The people could not stand it to have him around. Often I started to go to the pollce courts to get a warrant for his arrest, but he Vwould learn of It and prevent me. Then he would get me home and beat me. On, the misery I have endured with that man! “I don't know how I came to shoot him. He was beating me, and even now I cannot tell how it was that I shot him, I had no intention of doing so. I never had any gentlemen friends, and his jeal- ousy was ridiculous, Why, he didn't even allow me to have women friends. Mrs, William G. Lee, in whose apart- ment Mra, Davis was foynd after the | shooting, sald that Mrs, Davis had told her that when she ordered her husband out of the house two weeks ago and In- formed him that she did not want any- thing more to do with bim, she then went to a friend's house and got a re- volver, as she was to we alone in her home, Mrs. Lee also deciares that Davis was making Ife miserable for his wife after she ordered him out of the house. She said he would stand in front of the place, uaing vile languaxe and charginz Mrs. Davis with indiscretions in her own home.
