a ‘NEWSBOY WITH ‘TO GET $50,000 DE LANGE HELD AS AMITAESS Simon ‘Kermon Said to Have Been Last to See Him Alive. Whether Louis De Lange playwright nd librettist, was murdered and robbed or committed suicide js as much a mys- tery to-day as it was when the bodv Was found with the throat cut in his room at Mock’s Hotel on Forty-second street yesterday morning. Simon Kermon, a newsboy, seventeen years old, of N. Tast Third street, ‘was arraigned to-day before Coroner Schrady as the mysterious person who Was last seen with the dead man, and was held for the inquest next week. The boy was alleged by two cobmen and by employees of the hotel to have Gone twice with De Lange to his room, Kermon denied this and told a story that refiected seriously on the life of the playwright. He sald at the pres Uminary examination to-day that he met De Lange, to whom he had often @old papers, at Forty-second street and Broadway, come time after 3 o'clock yestertlay morning. He said that De Lange asked him to come to his room to get a bundle which he wished to @end to a friend The wy accom- panied De Lange, and when they reached the room. he said, the play- wright attacked him. ‘This, the boy mid.account ed for the cries and ex- clamations heard by Mrs. Clark and n why he ran out, Boy Had Papers. Questioned by Coroner Shrady, the boy said he carried papers under his ar mand that this was the bundle the doorkeeper and a cabmam saw. The boy told his story in a stralghtfor- ward way; but there are many strange Points in the case that wil Ineed in- vestigation in the opinion of the police. The Coroner remanded Kermon to the House of Detention to be held ag wit- ness for’ the inquest. Coroner Schrady after a prelim- fnary autopsy sald ‘that the wound is pecullar in that {t might have been made elther by De Lange or by assailant. Also he has said he wou'd not care to cémmit himself by statine Positively a theory one wav or the other, although he favors suicide as an explanation. Thus the case is a mystery. More- over, it is a mystery of tie white light section centring in upper Broadway and stretching away > vague boundary lines toward the avenues on olther side. And Louls De Lange was indeed a cit!- | zen of the quarter by temperament and eccupation: Finances in Poor Shape. Beginning ag an actor, he had for the last ten years written plays and collab- orated on libre't-s for comic operas. | His wife, whose stage name Is Selma Mantell, 1s a member of the Weber's Music Hall © mpany. Knowing the man's life and his en- vironment, tne police have applied to it the standard of the quarter. And these are some of the things they know. For the last few months his business af- * fairs. were in po.r shape. His plays were not paying much in royalties. He had tried to get work as an actor and failing to do so gave up all his suite in Mock's Hotel except one room. This reduction in his expenses was made on Monday. His wife left Weber's last Saturday night, because she nad been advised to undergo an operation. On Monday. night he took her to the Thirty-fousth street ferry for Long Isl- and City, where she was to live with her mother und receive medical treat- ment. Their two-year-old child was already at her mother’s home. From all this it apoears’ that De Lange may very likely have been gloomy. He was about to live in re- duced circumstances—reduced from the standard of extravagant living to which he was accustomed. His wite was ill and was to live apart from him, By the statement of several wit- nesses, Including Stephan Lagodinsky, the doorkeeper, and Manager Oster, of Mock's Hotel, the newsboy wen: twice to De Lange's room early yesterday mortiing. ‘The pair came in at 1 o'clock. ‘The boy left first with a small bun Fitteon minutes later De Lange followed, At about 4 o'clock they returned in 2 cab, Heard Door Slam.
