POCKETS-INSIDE OUT ‘ _ INDICATE-A-ROBBERY. ‘Proofof-Violence Impossible as Man Had Long Been Dead When Found—Girl’s Pioture , May-Cause Identification. ne (Special to The Evening World.) NYACK, N. Y., May 10—The body of ® young man whose clothing, though torn by the winds and decayed by. the fain, sleet and snow' of many months, still retain traces of its fine texture and Sxcellent workmanship, has been found Suspended in the branches of a tree Projecting from the precipitous cliff of Hook Mountain, three miles north of here. i The position of the body when found and the fact that all the man’s pockets Were turned inside out indicate that he ‘was the victim of foul play. The body was alscovered by the Merest accident. Shortly before sunset vesterday Harold Bedell, William Gar- son and William Stern, three young men of this town, were returning home after a stroll over Hook Mountain. Ven- turing along a weed-grown path they had never traversed before, they passed near the edge of the cliff riing 500 feet above the river. Glancing down the wall-likg incline one of the youths was startled to see the form of a man hang- ing over the trunk of a small tree about seventy-five feet below on the mountain alde. Rescued Body with Dificulty. They made their. way immediately to the village and notified Coroner Bittlg. ‘The Coroner with a party of men and an undertaker went to Hook Mountain and with ropes drew the body to ths top of the mountain. ‘The work of se- curing the body took several hours, and ft was almost midnight when the Cor- oner and his party returned to town. Any identification of the body wi impossible owing to its decomposed con- dition. An autopsy was performed at onee by Dr. Kline, but it revealed noth- ing. There may have becn marks ot violence on the body weeks ago, but it would be impossible for them to be detected now. . The fact that all the pockets of the mian's clothing were turned inside out ig_proof positive that he was robbed before being thrown over the cliff. at fo a sheer drop of 75 feet to the tree where the body lodged, and no man could have gone down there to rob the body. It is not remarkable that the body went so long undiscovered. It could only be seen from the river, and the river has been closed all winter. Believed to Be a New Yorker. In the summer Hook Mountain is a great summer resort and hundreds of peoplesfrom New York visit It on Sun- fays and holidays. From the general appearance of the body it is belleved that it is that of a New York man. | The man wore a blue serge coat, lack trousers, a black and white atriped shirt, black laced shoes and summer underwear. He appears’ to luave been about thirty-five years of age, had brown hair, welghed about 150 Pounds and was five feet seven inches tall. In the Inside pocket of his coat, the only pocket that was. not turned dnside out, a number of small: articles were found, These were a black leather pocket- book, a silver penknife, with a pencil Pretty young girl, made on a butten. Around his necit he wore a scapula, A nutnber cf people have examined the Photograph ©! the girl, but no one re- members t) have seen her before. The Pocketbook was empty and there were ng markings on the clothing or on any of the articles by which the identity of the dead man might be established. That the young man was a Victim of a Mafia plot has been offered as a po: ble solution of the mystery. Last fall the Manhattan ‘Trap Rock Company em- Ployed a gatig of Italians near where the body was found. The dead man is supposed to have been a foreman or overseer who incurred the enmity of the Mafia. The theory is Advanced that he was lired to a saloon Bear the cliff, drugged, knocked on the head and thrown over the side of the jountain. Coroner Bittig has announced intention of visiting the officers of the trap-rock company this afternoon and making a vigorous investigation, ————— P. J. M’NULTY WINS GAVEL.

Conrad Hauenstein, ar FATHER AND SON DIE TOGETHER Found Dead in Their Humble Apartment in Chairs Facing Each Other, with Tubes At- tached to-Gas Jets. Conrad Hauenstein, fifty-nine years old, and his son, Conrad, thirty-eight years oid, were found dead. in their two rooms in the basement of No, 217 East Twenty-fifth street to-day, ‘The father was sitting in an anctent armchair, a rubber tube attached to ® gas Jet held in his hand Umply where it had dropped* from his mouth. The son sat opposite in another chair in the same attitude, and another tube had fallen from his hand, swinging from a was jet a few yards from the old man's chair, The position in which the dead men rested showed that they had simulta- neously adjusted the tubes and then sat down to watch each other dle. On the back of an envelope that had been tossed on a table near the father's chair had been scrawled these simple words: “We are tired of living; we want to die together. We never did anybody any harm." Under this both Had written their signature with minute care. Father Son Loved Each Other, No distress or impending poverty, no fresh grief had urged this pair to end thelr lives, The little scrawl on the back of the envelope told to those who were ourlous to know that life had no separate pleasures for them; the aged man had tired of the monotony of ex- istence in the little basement, and with- out his companionship the son had no desire to live. Father Became Paralyzed. Their habits were extremely simple, dna thelr combined earnings main- tafned them in comfort and ease. It was always urce of wonder ti the neighbors how the son, even as he grew to manhood, never seemed to wich to bo out of his father’s company. He no friends of his age, and when his‘day's work was done he hurried to the Httle basement to smoke his pipe and drink his jug of beer with hin parent. Suicide Planned Deliberately, What happened after that can only be conjectured. When found to-day both men were fully dressed. There was no sign of disorder in the apart- ment, no evidence of the receipt of vad news. The faces of both wore placid smiles, as if they had dropped off to sleep while gazing fondly in each other's eyes. The sulcide was undoubtedly a matter af careful deliberation. The two gas tubes had been purchased only a fow days ago, This was. the last the neighbors saw of the pair, though tenants in the building heard them. moving about on Sunday. That they undoubtedly spent the entire day deliberating over their suicide was evidenced to-day in tie care with which @ bundleof letters and documents, including an honorabte dis- charge from the German army, were laid out on a little table, Ail that wss of {importance in their lives could be fqund in this silent tes- timony, In the centre of which lay the note testifying to their mutual agree- ment to die together. Among these pa- pers and letters in German script was @ poem penned by the son a year ago. There also was a faded print of a young woman resting underpeath the poem. The dishes and ecraps found on an- ether table showed that they ate their usual frugal super Sunday evening. The plates and cracked dishes wero left just where they lay when they rose from the table and prepared to end their lives. He found the door bolted fast, and when it resisted all his efforts to open it he summoned Policeman Shea, of the Hast Twenty-second street station. Shea and two firemen from a nearby engine house broke open the door and found the two bodies sitting in the chairs. | Offvrt a6 a Quarauiie @t one end, and a photograph of a very « TAKES ACID BY HUSBAND'S SIDE While Waiking on Sixth Avenue, Pretty Mrs. Bertha Cooney Suddenly Swallows Poison— Her Condition Critical.
