RACING # SPORTS PRICE ONE CENT. MISSING PRIEST NOT KIDNAPPERS VICTIM, Police Have a Theory that Joseph Cirringione May Have Com- mitted Suicide--Contractor Says He Was Not Paid and Had Lorned the Priest $ 300. -HAD.$19,000 OF CHURCH MONEY, LAWYER DECLARES. Much light was this afterncon thrown bythe police on what was at fi felieved to have been the kidnapping and possible assassination of the Rev. se ov Joseph Cirringtone, pastor of the Catholic Church of the Immaculate , Conception, of Williamsbridge, by a gang of Italian blackmallers and high- Linders. Capt. Foody, Detective Scurry and Inspector Titus held a conference with Inspector. McClusky and Commissioner Greene late this afternoon and decided to make public the facts so far as they knew them. The first report hiuged on the statement that after receiving several Qnonymous and threatening letters the priest lef his house last night in company with two men, who said they were detectives, and who had told ‘him that Capt. Foody wished to see him at the station. Capt. Foody de- nied that he had sent and detectives to he house for he priest, and it was concluded that the two menwerekidn appers. REAL DETECTIVES IN HOUSE. The police now state that Capt. Foody and Detective Scurry were in the priest's house from 4 o'clock until 6 o'clock yesterday evening and that they were the two men who were seen to leave by neighbors and who were described as the probable kidnappers. After they left th ehouse Cirringione paced the floor nervously, smoked and chewed on many cigars, and at 7.30 P. M. he told three other priests tin, would go to the station with hem. Faher Carringione then left the house. The priests looked out of the window and saw no one waiting for him, but saw him leave the place alone. In the two hours which Capt. Foody and Detective Scurry spent with the priest they tried to-get from him a sample of his handwriting so as to! compare it with the anonymous letters he had received, but he refused to put his pen to paper for them. All yesterday Tony Pasquale, the contractor who put in the foundation for the new church, waited in front of the priest's house. He wanted to see him, It was’ when Pasquale became tired and left in the evening that the priest left the house by himself. Pasquale has told the 'police that he has not been paid a cent for his ‘work, and that, besides, he had loaned: Cirringione $300, which he was try- ing to collect. SUICIDE A POLICE THEORY. “He may have committed suicide. He certainly was not kidnapped, ” was the only conclusion:the police would admit. Some say that Father Cirringione had about $19,000 of the church funds. (Others say that his accounts with the church are perfectly straight, and that every cent has been accounted for in a proper manner. In_a letter mailed last night to his attorney the young priest said: “Pray for me, as I am in the midst of a terrible trouble.” When it became geneyally known that the Mafia and Malevito societies ‘were suspected, all of Willlamsbridge turned out to search the wild, precip!- ‘cule and rocky country thereabouts for the priest's body. It was firmly be- deved that he had been murdered and that hig body would be found in some rooky recess or trescherous ravine, of which there are many. .

Barret Sous, twelve years old, the son of William T, Sous, the editor of a trade Journal, had his head cut off this after- noon by an Amsterdam avenue trolley car. The lad was on his way home to car hé found himself on the other track (And without any chance for escape was firat hit by the fender and propelled sev- eral feet until his head rested on the tracka...Tha,.head .and. body. were both ‘; toased to the side. The frightful accident occurred on Amsterdam. avenue between One Hun- ‘dred and Twenty-fourth streets, From 1/One Hundred and Nineteenth street to One Hundred and Twenty-fifth is a steep grade. All cars on this decline accelerate their speed and when making up time tear down the succession of hits at break-neck pace. * ‘The motorman, John McCailey, of No. $52 Sixth avenue, saw the boy on the track some time before the oar struck ee He applied the breaks frantically, ealiaing at the time that there was iittle hope of the lad escaping. One chance, he thought, he did have, and that was to throw the fonder down hard. This was done. The next instant the boy was caught and thrown in front of the car only to be decapitated. Sight Sickens Spectators, X On the street at the time there were a few people, who witnessed the acct- dent, So grewsome a sight it was that men sickened and women _tottered aghinst the buildings for support. Two! men ran out on the street and carried the body and the dissevered head of the boy to the sidewalk. It was taken n this fasion to the Oce Hundred and ‘Twenty-Mth Street Police Station. By this time a crowd gathered on the} street and grew threatening to the motorman, Policeman Thomas ‘Hughes, who was also a witness of the accident interposed and hurried MeCauley off to th estation, the crowd following and demanding quick punishment.

WOMAN LIVES IN AFINE by the slayer of Andrew H. Green. He said: “From investigation and from an interview with Bessie Dayis, this man Williams’s statement is a tissue of. lies. ‘ Mrs. Davis told me that she had not seen Williams since the time he boarded in her house in 1895 until she saw his picture in che papers. St says she never saw or heard of Andrew H. Green until she read of murder in the newspapers.” While the inquest into the death of Andrew H. Green was fastening crime upon Cornelius Williams this afternoon and detectives were scouring the city in search of the mysterious negress, Bessie Davis, Evening World reporters located the home of a woman who has been identified as the per- sonn referred to by the murderet. ae She now goes by the name of Hannah Elias and lives at No. 286 Cen- , tral Park West. She has a maid, a Chinese cook and a Japanese butler in a sumptuously furnished house, where she has been frequently visited by a Mr. Green. She is rich, owns several houses besides the one she lives in and has a carriage and coachman. Of course the friends of one of the first citizens of in Central Park West was Andrew H. Green. The similarity of names strengthens the assumption that Andrew H. Green was a victim of a case of — mistaken identity, : About eighteen years ago a handsome negress came to New York from Philadelphia. Her name was Hannah Elias, In course of time she married a man named Davis, but she divorced him and resumed her maiden name, The Hannah Bilas, of Central Park West, and the Bessie Davis, of the negro colony in West Fifty-third street, are one and the same woma, al- though Hannah Elias has not been seen in her old haunts for four or five years, She endeavored to bury herself from those who knew her in the negro district as Bessie Davis and partially succeeded, but there are personé who knew her under both names. Williams will probably be indicted next Monday. Assistant District-Attorney Paul Krotel said this afternoon that there has been sufficient evidence adduced already to warrant taking the case be~ fore the Grand Jury. His trial will be set for an early date. Although Williams had but $10 to his name when arrested, and his people are poor, he will be defended by that em{nent practitioner Abraham Hummel, Mr. Kaffenburgh, of Mr. Hummel’s staff, was in the Coroner's Court yesterday, and practically took charge of \the defense before Will- iams had a chance to open his head. He was on hand again when the in- quest was resumed to-day, Mr. Hummel, Mr. David May, his partner, and Mr. Kaffenburgh all agree that their client is insane, WANT IMMEDIATE EXAMINATIO ‘oe, as he was popularly known, had in his custody about $19,000 for the i Noy tas eer siranerin, halves, 35 minutis each, WEATHER FORECAST. ‘They want an immediate examination, and Mr. Hummel savs that if it completion of the church.
