Miss Martindale, her father, Herbert, who Js an engineer on the Pennsylyan Railroad, and the detectives who have worked on the case agree that the acid thrower undoubtedly took her for an- other person. The man approached her from behind and did not look at her carefully before he made his attempt at disfigurement. She did not have a chance to abserve tim carefully, and whon ahe thad recovered from the shock of the assault he was out of sight.

Officials Say that Victim Could Never Have Left the Gun Cocked as It Was Found After His Death. Coroner Schadfer and Detective Mc- Kay, both of the Borough of Richmond, declared to-day that in thelr opinion old Emil de Roche, who was found shot to death In his home in Castleton Corners yesterday. was murdered. his statement was made after dis- coveries that convinced the officials that the old. man could not possibly have shot’ huhself; as was believed at frst, and that the murderers, after commit- ting the crime, locked the doors of the old man’s home, even after the dead body was discovered. De Roche was seventy years old and has been a sufferer from consumption for a number of years, He was sep- arated from his wife and-made his home With his son, Dantel De Roche, until four weeks ago, when a physician told him that {t was dangerous to the health of his son's family for him to live in the house with them, He Went to tve Alone. Much worried, but with an uduelfieh- ness that has always marked the old man's life, he rented a thouse near the one in which his son lived and began @ lonely existence. He seldom went near any one, because he feared he might spread the dreaded disease which was eapping out his own life. De Roche's food was brought to him three times a day by Mrs, Charlotte Dean, a neighbor, who showed every kindness to the lonesome old men. Mrs. Dean went to the home yesterday: with a tray of food for him, She pushed opsn the door, which was partly ajar, and there saw the old man lying in a poot of tdood, his body partly on the bed and resting on the floor. Near the body was an old musket. not utter a word, She cannot say which way he ran after the assault. LOOKS LIKE WAR |ORUCKER’ NOW COREA, eet.” His entertainments were usually costly and elaborate.
