SAYS HER DEATH WAS BY OWN HAND Oistrict-Attorney Nieman Does Not Betieve Mysterious Wom- an Found Lifeless in Woods Was Murder Victim. ANTEREST CENTRES IN LETTER SENDING $100. All the Circumstances, Declares Mr, Nieman, Point to the Conclusion that the Woman Committed Suicide. The only interesting mystery cor - ing the death of the woul Wikses boty was foufid doubled up in the woods back of the Greenfield Cemetery, Long Taland, according to District-At- terney Nieman, of Nassau County, the {dentity of the man who wrote the let- ie containing the $100 bank note and he Tequest that the body be decently Mr. Nieman talked freely about the case to-day at his home in Lynbrook He went over every detail of the myi tery and sifid that in his opinion the woman died from carbolic acid polson- {ng and that the acid was administered by herself, “I have been quoted in the morning papers as having positive evidence that this woman was murdered,” said the District-Attorney, “This is all wrong and I cannot see how that impression got abroad. I have not received any information within the past forty-eight hours to lead me to change my first impressions of the case. Skull Not Fractured, “The physicians tell me positively that there is no fracture of the skull. Yurther they say there are no bodily bruises that would have caused death, ‘There was a swelling over the left eye and some abrasions on the face which might readily nave been caused by her falling while shé was tramping through the wood. ‘ “This wood ts overgrown with wild berry vines and walking is diMecult for @n able-bodied man. To a woman in her condition falls must have been fre- quent. When found the body was ly- ng doubled up. Her face was resting on her left foot and by the laws of gravity blood was bound to collect in and about the bruised eye. This would account for the extravasation of blood found there. No Signs of Struggle. “Had there been a fracture of the ‘wkull no question of suicide would have been raised. That alone would have mocounted for her death. But wo must ¢liminate that and what is left—death from natural causes or death from the poison which we know burned her mouth and lips. “Ig she had been held by the throat jand the polson forced down there would have been marks on the skin. "here would have been evidences of a \struggle, The clothes would have been itorn. But we find the contrary to be the truth, The clothes were not torn or deranged, but there were marks on the woman's waist where she spilled the acid in her agitation. “trees is Jaid on the fact that the bottle was found corked and lying on the ground. This is unimportant be- cause traces of the acid were seen in the little glass found beside the ody, showing that she drank the pol- gon from the glass and not from the bottle, | Drank Acid from Glass. “A murderer would have forced’ the bottle down her throat and poured the cig from ft, He would never then have corked up the bottle had he been ‘planting’ a case. “The woman's clothes and features do not show her to have been a woman of refinement. ‘The clothing was cheap and the features those of a woman of the. lower class. Her shoes did not cost more thanja dollar and the little Yoliet articles found in her satchel were of the cheapest quality, The comb was of celluloid, as was the hairbrush. Letter Interesting Feature. “AN this convinces me that she was @ poor but perhaps respectable Catholic woman who was tired of her care’ and feared the trials that were ap- proaching. “But the letter—that is the Interést- ing feature. It was written apparently by a man and concerning him there are several theories. It is not probabie that @ mun responsible for her death would have sent it, but It scems to me quite plausible to ,belleve that the writer may be the one respon: for her unfortunate condition, He felt re- morse and pity, and felt that such partial restitution was duo her. He may be @ married man and cannot aflord the disgrace of an exposure. “Dr. Denton reported to me that he had discovered marks of poisonous cor- posion in the stomach, and when the chemist examines these he will satis- torily prove the cause of death.” Viait of Mr. Clemens. Mr. Nieman sid that Mr. Cleme: the brother of Mark Twain, who visited Broeport yesterday and examined the body, was a, friend of Mr, Graham, his law partner, “Mr. Clemens was not employed by me to make any fnvestigation,” said the District-Attorney. “He went to Freeport on his own account and for his own satisfaction," Acting upon orders from the Dis. trict-Attorney Detective Furmen manded from Justice of the Peace Wal- lace, all the dead woman's effects to- day, He Was given the handbag with all its contents, and Wallace also turned over @ gold fountain pen, which, he claims, he found near the body, It {is a rubber pen with panda, On one is Engraved the’ inital md on the other the date ie He ways, Belonged, to the ‘woman "OF “spot oh a Mindy tine body wae foead, °° Sa riot Attorney, places MILLARD FIGHT N COURT ACA Mrs. Helen V.

WHITE PLAINS, April 16.—There was another battle between the lawyer for Mrs, Helen Yflard Bell, who !s seeking to compel brother, Oswald ‘Villard, and other members of the Vill- ard family to disclose the actual dis- position of several hundred thousand dollars’ worth of securities, which sho alleges her father, the late Henry Vill- ard, left for her and the counsel for -the Villard estate before Justice Keogh at a special term of the Bir preme Court at White Plains to-day. Lawyer George D. Mumford, represent- ing Mrs, Helen Villard Boll, originally got an order from Justice Keogh direct- ing Gustav Ulbricht, private secretary to her father, to answer certain ques- tlons in regard to the whereabouts of the securities mentioned In the com- plaint, but Lawrence Godkin, counsel for Oswald Villard, objected to many of the questions on technical grounds. Lawyer Godkin made a motion to have the examination declared closed to-day, as he said all the questions had been answered, but he was beaten out. Jus- tice Keogh said he would read the ques- tlona objected to before Justice Blanch- ard by Lawyer Godkin before deciding the fieht. ‘Then addressing Lawyer Mumford ‘he said: Entitled to Questions, “still, you are entitled to extract trom the witness certain answers to questions under my order,-and if they are not answered I shall give you the opportunity. to ‘pump, the witness. I Will have it done here, in this court in fifteen minutes, if you gentlemen can interposed Law. yer Godkin, “I am ‘here to make a motion to have the examination of the witness, Gustav Ulbricht, closed, on the round that the questions have all in answered, If it was not for the Rewspaper notoriety. this action would not be going on, ‘This sult would not be hanging on like ils if it was not to force us to settle. Why are wo hot served with a complaint and why don't we go, to trial “I take exception to that statement,” sald Lawyer Mumford, with venemence. “At tho very outset’ the counsel for the defendant took very serious ob- Section, to nearly every duestion aa In answer to A question from the Court, Lawyer Mumford said: jan Find Ont About Seow “Do you mean, Your Honor, that we cannot find out what securities were for other securities?” not.

Lawyer Godkin- led up a long brief to uphold his contention that the examination should be discontinued. ——— DEENED BRIE OBTANS DNORCE Miss Eliza Harriman Wickes Gets Decree on Ground of Being Victim of Fraud in Marriage to Capt.

The mysterfous package containing $2,000 worth of jewels which was re- celved by mali at the Tenderloin sta- tion yesterday found a claimant this afternoon when Mrs, Sarah F. Kimball, of No. 308 West One Hundred and Fourth street, called on Capt. Cottrell and told im that she had lost them on an “L" station on Thursday night. Several other women called at the police station and asked to see the gems. Mra, Kimball, who !s a dealer in jewelry, at Nos. land 3 Unton Square West, was the only caller, how- ever, who could describe them accu- rately, Mrs. Kimball told Capt. Cottrelll that she believed she lost her rings whtie moving from her former home at No. © West Sixty-sixth street to the new house she has bought at One Hundred and Fourth street. She sald she had wrapped the gems in @ handkerchief and placed them in the corsage of her Gress. She rode up town on the “L,” but did not miss the Jewels antil-she arrived home. Mrs, Kimball told Capt. Cottrell that he had underestimated the value of the diamonds. She gave him the name of the Joweler who made the rings for her aral on Monday he will visit the jeweler. He 1s convinced that she is the rightful owner of the trinkets, but will take the further precaution of going to the Jeweler. As yet no hint has been re- colved of the identity of the mysterious person who mailed the rings to the station-house, The mysterious package containing $2,000 worth of jewels that was deliv- ered at the Tenderloin station yeater- day through the mail has not yet brought forth a claimant, though Capt. Cottrell has done everything in his power to advertise the fact that the gems are th his possession. The package, which consisted of a cigarette box wrapped in @ piece of light wrapping-paper, was mailed at Station O. It was addressed ‘Police Captain, West Thirtleth Street Station, West Thirtleth Street, New York City.’ ‘The jewels were twisted in pieces of flimey paper, on which was written in a feminine hand: “Please advertise these diamonds; they were found in @ Sixth avenue elevatored (slo) train last night.” There were eight diamond rings and a pearl brooch in the tiny bundle, Police Capt. Cottrell, who once dealt in diamonds, was convinced of the genuinness of the stones after a care- ful examination. Then he set to work to unravel the mystery. Detectives were sent to Station O, at Fifth avenue and Eighteenth stret, but nothing was known there of the package or the per- son who had dropped it in the “pack- age window.” Hundreds of persons visit this window dally and the clerks never take any partivular notice of them. s ‘The police were utterly at a loss to rolve the mystery. Why a finder of such valuable gems should take such a means of turning them over to the police neither Capt. Cottrell nor his detectives could reason. There was no precedent upon which they could base any deductions. MRS.
