About 3 o'clock Saturday night he pounded on the door of Mrs. Ellen Gray, the landlady, and shouted: |: "Open the dgor, quick!

Mrs. ‘Gray, who had gone to the room, says she was almost sure that there was a pillow-case around the negk of the dead woman when she first saw her. She thought there was some moisture on it. According to the police, Krakapsky's atatements were so conflicting that they arrested him. He also spoke of a pil- low-case around the neck of the woman, but when Detective Donahue, who, with Detective Meade, is working on the tase, searched the room, he could find no trace of it. Donahue also said there was no evidence of strangling.

Dr. Edward Teague, who is dying at Roosevelt Hospital with a fractured ul, made the statement to Police Captain Handy, of the West Forty-nev- enth street sthtion, to-day that he had reoeived his injury while intoxicated and that he believed he had fallen on the street and struck his head. ‘Teague was found unconscious in front of the Victoria Theatre Saturday night.

Anna Simmons, a colored maid, Who says she also gave Mrs, Myers some morphine, tablets, not knowing they were poisonous, was also in court. Magistrate Whitman questioned Col Myers briefly, asking: “Were you in the house when the morphine was admin- istered by Anna Simmons?” “I believe I was,” answered the Colo- nel, who appeared to’ be in @ daze. “Who 1s the woman who gave the tableté to Mrs, Myers?” Sho !s my ,laundreas ~and has, been in our fomily for a number of years,” Myers replied. 9 “E have no yower to discharge you or the woman," sald the Magistrate, “as the case 1s one of suspected homicide. I shall remand you and the woman to the custody of the Coroner and he may hold you or dismiss the ease. He alone has full power now." ‘The Board of Coroners wil call upon Commissioner of Police McAdoo to-day and ask him to make an investigation of the officers In charge of the Forty- seventh street station tast night for pa- roling Col.

Coroner Scholer went to the Meyers flat to-day and says he found the place a veritable d’ug store, Bottles ‘and drugs were seen on every tiand, Cord- ner Scholer says the woman died of pleuro-pneumonia, but thinks that her death was undoubtedly hastened by poison, ‘When arraigned ‘before Coroner Scho- ler Inter in the day, Colonel Myers and the colored woman both mad¢ state- ments.

HELD FOR KILLING AN AGED WOMAN John Di Gregoria in Jail on Charge of Murdering Mrs. Wilhelmina Hickson, Who Was Found Dead in Bed. CRIME COMMITTED WITH HER OWN KNIFE. Police Believe She Was Slain Because She Protected a Pretty Girl of “the Neighbor- hood—One Arrest Made. DI Gregorlo, of No. 2% East Oné Hundred and Third street, was lield without bail for examination Thursday on a charge of homicide, in Harlem Police Court to-day. The police accuse him, of killing Mrs, Wilhelmina Hick- son, who was found dead in bed in a room at, the rear of har little candy store, No. 213 East One Hundred and Third street, yeaterday. She had been stabbed in the back of the neck at the base of the brain—a stab wound known as the “‘cirviletto,” and a favorite of Italian assassins, The murderers had gone through the rooms taking some valuables and To leave the impression that burglary, had been the jeause of the crime the murderer or murderers forced a door open, but {t was forced from the Inside. Joseph Weimer, the driver of a milk wagon, was found to-day by Detective Gilbert, and will it ts belleved be an important witness. He | was passing the store of early Sunday morning and saw her let out a man who looked like Di Gregorio, They ‘had béen quarreling and the man swore at her. Two other men were! walting for him in the shadow of a nearby doorway. 4 ‘The three talked together a few mo- ments and then all went back to the store and knocked on the door. Weimer went away before the men entered. Was Known to Have Money. Mrs. Hickson was known to have money, and was popularly supposed to carry a roll of bills in her stocking. Her etocking had been cut and no money could be found in the shop. Drawers were open and her effects had been scattered about as though the murderer had made a hasty search for valuables. One theory of the police is that the woman was murdered. for revenge by some young man whose desires she had balked regarding a very pretty house and interviewed Col, Myers and the colored maid. After leaning the details Mr. Garvan paroled them both and asked them to appear’at the West Side Court to-day. Col. Myers won his title during the civil war, when he served as an en- gineer under Sheridan, Mrs, Myers was forty-five years and was 4 daughter of the late Chict Justice Saffold, of the. Supreme Court Alabama, She was married once be- fore, und was the widow of, Judge Baker, an associate of-her father, when sho mot Col. Myers in Wi jashington: Col. Myers has four daughters other marriages. Anna Simmons, the colored mad, is an old “mammy" from the ‘South and is nearfy sixty years of age. She had n known to the famil~ for years. WOMAN SUICIDE NOT IDENTIFIED. YET Body Found ip Central Park on “Suicide Bench” and Taken -to Morgue—Clothing: Was of; Fine Texture. , No one has yet appeared at the Morgue to identify the young’ woman who took such plaborate care to make herself an unknown suicide in Central Park yesterday. She was found on “Sul- elde Bench,” which {s located in a quiet and secluded nook near the East Drive: and Seventy-eighth street. There was not a mark on the clothing of the young woman to give a clue to her iden- tity, She had removed all marks and she had taken pains evento scratch the drug store label from the bottle which contained her carbolic aold. The woman was about thirty-five years old and good-looking. Her cloth- ing was of the finest ‘texture and ap- parently half-mouming. She wore’ a black silk skirt and a black silk waist, ‘Her coat was of fine melton, She wore a black beaver hat on which there were two white ostrich feathers of fine qual- ity, About her neck there was a fine black boa, The woman was dark-com- Plexipned, had dark brown hair and eyes and welghed about 135 pounds, + Policeman King, who found, the body, said that there had been half a dozen suicides in this same sheltered nook within the last few months, pommel ci LONDON STOCKS QUIET.

Across the hallway from the dead waman's rooms is a new saloon which was opened Saturday night.

It is believed the crime was committed under cover of the noise from the saloon. It was not until morning that the murder was discovered.
