(Special to The Fvening World.) WHITE PLAINS, Jan. 11.—The ques- tion whether or not Granville W. Garth. President of the Mechanics’ National Rank, really committed suicide by) throwing himself into the Gulf of Mex- {co on Christmas eve came up to-day before Surrogate Silkman in the applica~ tion to compel the executors of the es- tate of the late James Jennings McComb) to account for the $4,000,000 that M Louis Herzog claims as her share. Mrs, Herzog 1s one of the daughters of Mr. McComb. Mr, Garth married another daughter, and with the Title Guarantee Trust Company was made an executor of Mr. McComb's will. Garth had been 111 and worrying about private matters, the) exact nature of which has never been disclosed. A codicil of the McComb will provided that if the petitioner in the present action married Louis Herzog, the Philadelphia artist, she should only receive $30,000 a year and none of the principal of the $14,000,000 left by her father. ‘The daughter married Herzog and then began a legal battle to upset the re- striction clause In the will. The Court of appeals rendered + decision in her favor a week before th disappeared from the deck of the steamer when with- in one day of Galveston, The only person who could throw any Hght on the mystery surrounding Garth's disappearance is Thomas Law- gon, who was his sailing companion. He says that he left Garth on the deck at night, that he was morbid about private troubles and that was the last any one saw of him. Asks for an Accounting. ‘The suicide of Mr. Garth was 0 strange that Lawyer Strong, represent- ing the surviving executors, was com- pelled to touch upon it when Lawyer Elliott, for Mrs. Herzog, asked that the executors be compelled to make an ac- counting of the estate. The executors, he sald, are unable to file an accounting until Mr. Garth Is brought into court, if he js alive, which he believed ts not likely. “At any rate,” he added, “his repre- sentative should be here. We have no official knowledge of his death, although we are inclined to belleve that he is dead. “It Is not necessary to have Mr. Garth here,” the Surrogate said. “If he doesn’t exist that is all there is to it. Let the surviving executors appear and make an accounting, “But if he is alive,” Strong, — The Surrogate Interrupted the lawyer by ordering an accounting to be made on Feb. 5. Afterward Mr. Strong was questioned about the case and he said: “I don't know anything about Mr. Garth's death other than what Mr. Lawson has told. I wanted to get a ruling of the Court on the matter.” Nothing was said to the mental condition of Mr. Garth when_he sailed away. At that time Mrs. Garth was preparing to go out to Morristown, N. J., where her former riding master, Hubert Hartigan, has a $20,000 farm. Included in the McComb estate are the Navarro Flats, in Central Park South, which were built by the father- In-law of Mary Anderson, the actress. WON BOWLING GAME, WENTHOMEAND DIED William G.

This is the sad cry of a pretty little woman who, dressed in black, sits mournfully in a small room of a board- ing-house at No, 54 West Twenty-sixth | street. The romance of Mrs. Lillian Caville, widow of Arthur Caville; of “The Bill- fonaire” company, has been ended in a tragic manner. | Her young husband, who before he Joined “The Billionaire” company played @ small part in “The Country Girl’ at | Daly's Theatre, met his death through | a peculiar train of circumstances. After the death of Jerome Sykes, Caville went to the Iroquois Theatre to consult with the management of the “Blue Beard" company with the view of obtaining @ position, As the manager was busy he was requested to step into the auditorium and wait until the end of the performance, Died Saving a Child. ‘When I heard of his death,” said Mrs, Caville to-day, “I telegraphed to friends in Chicago to send me all of the particulars, His companion, Walter Hudson, was killed also, A man who was in the party said my husband met his death trying to save a little girl. He was not burned badly, but was suf- focated. He was found with the child in his arms.” The death of Caville thas left young widow penniless, “He was all that belonged to me in the world," she scid to-day. Four years ago the ‘young couple were married in England and came to Amer- fea with their hearts full of hope for a reat fucure.

Mr, Ognibena, who notified the potice of the disappearance of his niece, after exhausting every effort to find her, de- clared that he believes the child has been kidnapped by unscrupulous per- sons. Five years ago the young girl's pa- rents died and she went to live with her uncle and aunt. As they had no children they lavished all their affection on their niece, and there was little a young girl could ask for that she did not have, In the past year the girl has blos- somed into womanhood, developing rare beauty and grace of figure. She has large black eyes, screened with heavy eyelashes, an olive and pink skin, dark chestnut hair and features of almo.t perfect mould. On Jan. 6 Vincencia was sent to tho Itallan quarter in Harlem to do the marketing for the family. When she returned she placed her purchases on ithe dumbwaiter and called up to her aunt. That was the last her relatives have seen or heard of her. A few days before the girl disap- peared her aunt discovered her packing her clothing in a small bundle, She asked her what she was doing and she replied carelessly: “Oh, soon I ‘will have all the fine clothes and jewelry I want to wear, and 1 won't heed old duds,” The aunt paid no attention to the re- mark as she thought it had been in- mpliea by some romantic notion of the chi DEAD WOMAN IS STILL A MYSTERY Aged Mrs. Johnson or Black; Who Was a Friend of the Rockefellers, Is Taken to Erie for Burial. ‘The mystery surrounding the identity, of the aged woman who died in the apartment hotel San Rafael, on Forty- fifth street, near Sixth avenue, has not yet been removed. It was generally be- Meved in the hotel that she was the sister of Mrs. John D. Rockefeller, but in the family history of the Rockefellers there is no mention of any woman by the name of Mrs. Grove H. Johnson or Isabella Black, the maiden name of the woman. Mrs. Isabella Black, as the death certificate has it, died Saturday morn- Ing of eancer of the stomach, She was sick during the last month and a half and every day was visited by Mrs, John D. Rockefeller, who called in her car- riage, She spent a great deal of time with the sick woman during her last days. The body was shipped yesterday to Erie, Pa. Mrs. Black's daughter, who was with her all the time she lived at the San Rafael, accompanied the body, as did a son who came to New York for the express purpose of removing the body of his mother, ‘The apartments which Mrs, Black and her daughter occupied at the hotel have not been given up. The daughter sald when ahe left that she would return in a woek and continue to live in the same rooms. When Mrs. Black engaged the rooms she sald she came from the West. Neither she nor her daughter sociated with any of the guests at hotel and outside of Mrs. Rockefeller had no callers. Dr, John Thelbe AY EVENING, JANUARY 11, 1004. TO TRY BECHTELS ON ONE COUNT Murder Indictment Against the Mother of Slain Girl With-| drawn and Family Will Be Ar-| raigned as Accessories. WEISENBERGER TO BE PLACED ON TRIAL FIRST. It Is Expected He Wil Be Promptly Acquitted and Then! Used as a Witness Against Alois Eckstein. ALLENTOWN, Pa., Jan, 11.—Diatriot- Attorney Lichtenwalner has decided to abandon the Indictment of murder ugainet Mra. Catherine Bechtel, mother of Mabel Bechtel, who was killed last October. The aged woman will be tried with her daughter Martha and sons John and Charles on the charge of being | un accessory after the fact. Mow Eckstein, Mabel Bechtel's ac- cepted ultor, will be brought to trial last, and David Weisenberg, who also was attentive to the young woman, will be the firat to face the jury. “Welsenberg,"" sald the District-Attor- ney to-day, “will be tried first and nc- quitted, a0 that he may qualify as a competent witness. Tho importance of this movement is obvious. It may seem unjust to have a man indicted on a serious charge, tried and acquitted aim- ply to wring from him what he knows of a certain case, But I was forced to it by the condition of circumstances, The mystifying doubts and vexing un- certainties which have been and are still the principal elements of the Bechtel tragedy have been added to by a letter recelved to-day by District-At- torney Lichtenwalner, in which the writer professes to be the slayer of Mabel Bechtel, claiming to have been @ rejected suitor for her hand. ‘Though looked upon as the ravings of a crank, the statements contained in the missive are of such plausible char- acter that the authorities have been compelled to take note of the confession and make efforts to locate and appre- hend the author. Coming as ft did within twenty-four hours of the trial, the letter has thrown the officials into a gaze of confusion and has given further evidence of the depth of the mystery with which they have been striggling fr nearly three months. The letter 1s dated Easton, Jan 10, and its signature is “Mr. C, M. W." After reading the letter several times Dis. trict-Attorney Lichtenwalner said: “It may be as true as tho stories we have accepted as facts. I must confess 1 am nonplussed and we are groping In the dark, despite the circumstantial evi- dence we have.” Seldom has a court-room been the setting for more tragic elements than those embraced by the Bechtel mur- der case which will be called for trial here to-morrow, with the State accus- ing the girl's old mother, the sister, Martha; John Bechtel, a brother, and Mabel’s two sweethearts, Aluis Eck- stein and Dave Welsehberger, of being accessories to the crime. If Tom Bech- tel had not cut his throat in jail on the evening of Oct. 8 last he would stand accused as the principal, as “the slayer of his wayward and beautiful sister. According to the present plan of Dis- trict-Attorney Lichtenwalner, he will Put Weisenberger on trial first, with the idea of later using him as i witness against Eckstein, It ts believed that Welsenberger will be acquitted offhand. but the prosecution has some deep-laid scheme which it thinks will fail unless he is put in the position of an exou- erated party. New evidence, the police say, has been discovered,’ indicating more than ever that Mabel Bechtel was killed in her own home and then dragged to the alley in the rear of the house. ‘Throngs Gather for Trial, Mrs, Bechtel and the rest of the family still stick to their original stories —that the body was brought in a hack to the spot Where it was discovered. The attorneys for the defense will pro- duce experts to swear that the blood stains found in the room on the second floor of the Bechtel home, where the police allege the fir! Was #lain, were made by a dog. State's cuse rests largely on this’ point, and it will have experts to swear just as strongly that the stains were made by human blood. ‘A strange feature of the case which is causing wonder and comment ts the refusal of the Bechtels’ attorneys to permit any of them to take the stand in Hcketein'’s behalf, When the latter's counsel asked their lawyers to permit some one of the accused family to tes- tify that this suitor for Mabel’s hand was not in the Bechtel home at th time the police allege that she w: murdered, they said that Ecks: would have to look out for himsel: Ever since Eckstein Was arrested and charged with being an accessory to the murder he has sald that he wae at home, sick with a cold, when Mabel muat have been killed, but the police im to have evidence that he was eoplé from miles around the country side are flocking here as to a fair, to attend the trial, which, In the history of Pennsylvania, has never a parallel.

On the way across from Liverpool there wore but twelve hours in which the passengers were permitted on deck, the storms being so severe the rest of the Ume that they would have carried persons on deck overboard. The cabin passengers were seated at lunch at 1.35 P. M. last Tuesday, with First Officer McKenzie on the bridgo, when a wave sixty fect high swished across the bows with such tremendous force that the diners were dislodged from their seats, Instruments Washed Away. This wave stove in the bulkhead un der the bridge, filled the captain's cabin with water and washed overboard some of the contents of the instrument house. Besides flooding several compartments of the ship the washing away of the vital instruments to the progress of the vessel was the most serious loss. ‘The big chronometer, the sextant, sun- dinl and forward compass were washea down the companionway into the sa- loon, and from that time until Sandy Hook was sighted Capt. Stephens and his crew guessed the time and came this direction, guided solely by an aux- {Mary compass. First Officer McKensie was hurlod from the bridge to the skylights over the dining-room, but other than recely- ing @ few scratches and bruises and ketting a good wetting he was not in- jured. While pandemonium reigned in the dining-room, the crew was hustled for- ward with tarpaulins and lines and the smashed bulkhead was patched so that no more water could break through, Passengers Reassured. ‘The coolness of several of the ship’ officers brought calmness in the dining- room, and ag soon as the water was drained out of the scuppers they were again seated and the meal progressed. ‘This storm continued with the same velocity and flerceness until Saturday, when there was a moment of sunshin: and ‘the seas died to ten-foot wave!

Again the captain's cabin, which for two days had been abandoned by him, was flooded and again there was excite- ment among the diners. C. Fernau, a! passenger, of New York, sald to-day that he never saw so much suppressed excitement among @ lot of assembled people. No one spoke, but every one showed that he expected at any moment to hear the command: “All on deck."” That would mean to boats, Never Saw Fiercer Storm, Capt. Stephens said it was the rough- est. weather he had encountered in twelve years, and, in fact, ho said, he could only remember one storm that was ag strong, and it Was no stronger than. this one. After the bulkhead was crushed in Tuesday the ship reduced speed, prin- cipally because the reckoning instru- ments were gone, The course was main- tained, however, by a cleverly contrived compass, working in conjunction with the captain's pocket watch and through the alertness and experience of the crew in watching the course of the Gulf Stream. So carefully were these things watched that the Umbria never for a moment| swerved from her course and came ur alongside of the eastern end of Long, Island and in view of the Nantucket Light just as though she had been 1 ing through on scheduled nautical in struments, Among the, passengers were A.
