AUTO CAR HURLS | WOMAN 10 DEATH Well Dressed Victim Tossed on Head by Charles Fe'tman’s Touring Moter. CHAUFFEUR IS MENACED Avoiding Nostrand Avenue Trolley, Woman Steps Di- rectly in Machine’s Path. A well-dressed woman, about thirty-five Years old. was struck by a rapidly moy- ing touring automobile at Nostrand and Park avenues, Brooklyn, at noon to-day and instantly killed, Her identity ts a mystery. The auto belongs to Charles Feltman, the Coney Island resort prietor, and was driven ty Prosper Par- feh, his chauffeur, who lives at No. 259 West Fortleth street, Manhattan. Par- ish was arrested and held in the Gates Avenue Court on a charge of homicide, Following the tragedy scores of wom- en and men from the Dunlap Hat Com- pany’s plant on the corner swarmed into the street to get a glimpse of the body thinking the woman might have been an employee of firm. None of the hundreds who tied up traffic for twenty- five minutes was able to ald an identi- fication. pro- Steppec Into Path. Witnesses told the police woman was aparently @outh-bound Nostrand avenue car. As one passed she walked quickly behind it and directly into the path of a car going northward. She jumped hurriedly to escape the street car and sprang squarely in the path of the auto, which was going north. Before she could stop, or the that the chauffeur could halt his machine, the | hood struck her on a hip and hurled her several feet. Her head struck against the curb, fracturing the skull and causing death before Dr. Shepman, of the Cumberland Street Hospital, could respond to a call. Instantly, the chauffeur stopped car afd jumped to the side of his y tim. Crowds surrounded him, but Par- ish did not heed the angry voices, in- stead examining the woman for signs of life. He refused to leave until Mounted Policeman Beecher placed him under arrest. The officer was forced to drive back | fully 1,00) persons who jammed into the opening, where the ly lay. "The woman was five feet four inches and weighed about 1% pounds. She was of apparent refinement. She wore a Dlack short coat, Nothing on her per- son eg el inCorzassankee oa ‘as to her identity, WIZARD MOXEY NOW ON TRAIL OF THE COPPER KING There 1s no one in New York more keenly and personally interested in the conviction of CG, W. Morse and Alfred H, Curtis than F, time Copper King, who went down in the smash of United Copper and wabbly banks @ little over a year ago. Heinze was indicted on Jan. year for overcertitication of checks and misapplication of the funds of the Mer- cantile National Bank, of which he was president. The indictment against Mr. Heinze fucorporaies wurty counts, relating to fifteen separate transactions, all of which took place on Oct. 14, 1907, when Heinze was making desperate efforts to hold up a top-heavy corner in United Copper. Since the indictment was found Heinze has been at under bail Of $1,000, ‘Mr, Moxey, the deadly little Govern- ; who goes through @ bank's ‘a mole, turning over and g to the light hidden and qu entries and accountant’s trick: rt to work in the Mercantile Na- tional next Monday, As a_result of work of this nature that Mr done’ In the past thirt bankers have been cony Morse and Curtis are Ne his list.

Mr, Stimson, stood up. ‘Your Honor,” he sald in an under- tone, “I move the sentence of the de- fendant Curtis and the defendant Morse. Mrs, nar to! Curtis and Morse started uncertainly out of the jury box. Marshal Henkel met them half way. officially each by an elbow and hustled them around until they faced Judge's desk. He seemed as anxious to have them stand just so as a fussy jphotographer would be, trying for a go0d exposure. “Charles W. tis are at the bai in a sing-songy chant. “Prisoners,” said the Judge, “have you anything to say why sentence should not be pronounced against you?” Morse knew what was coming. He backed gently up against the railing of che jury box, rammed his fists in his } coat pockets and looked His Honor tn the eye. The man was made of iron— and ice, Curtis was all slumped down inside of his clothes. He seemed to have shrunk together. He hesitated, wetting his lips, which gaped slightly, and looked appeal | ingly toward the counsel table. | Up came his lawyer, former Judge W. M. K, Olcott, who was on the verge of a breakdown himself. Twice he cleared his throat huskily before he could get his voice under con- cu began to sob with deep, wn breaths that it fairly hurt one Morse and Alfred H. Cur- | trol. Tears were running down his cheeks. Begs Mercy for Curtis. “Your Honor" he said hoarsely, “this man, my client, is a friend and a neigh- bor, We have lived near together—our families are friends. Your Honor will under @and what I would lke to say if I had control of myself. I can only say a few words now. I hold in my hand 4 copy of a petition in which the presi dent or vice-president of every bank in New York City asked for a separate trial for Mr, Curtis. 1 feel sure that had I time I could get those same sig- natures on a petition asking mercy for this man—thiy dear friend of mine.” He had to walt a bit to clear throat. Then O’cott went on: “The jury have acted, They said he | was guilty, but they asked for mercy. 1 as @ lawyer, as a friend, ask for| mercy, too. This man has fallen from his high estate. He has been punished | deeply. He has a wife and sisters and jehildren, and I love them all. Judge, I know this isn’t a logics coherent statement. But it's the best Icando. I believe what Mr, Curtis has already suf- | his as he has been placed and tempted as he hus been tempted.
