Man Who Gave Himself Up Had Opportunity to Slay Aged Charges. Coroner James P. Dunn and Chief of Police Wolf of Yonkers have begun to-day an investigation to determine whether there is any truth In the re- markable confession made to the Dis- trict Attorney's staff in New York yesterday by a distinguished looking Austrian calling himself Frederick Mors, wherein he accused himself of the murder by polson of eight aged inmates of the German Odd Fellows’ Home near Yonkers, ‘The Coroner announced to-day that he would order the disinterment of the body of the aged inmate named Haensel, who died, according to the confession made by Mors, by arsenic administered at the orders of the Home's superintendent, J. Bangert. “I belleve that an investigation of the atory told by this man, considered insane by the membera of the New York District Attorney's staff, may yield some startling revelations,” sald the Coroner, “Whether he told the truth or lied, there is much that needs investigating in the matter of the filing of death certificates the Odd Fellows’ Home.” Coroner Dunn has learned already that Mors, or Moehrs, as he was known to inmates of the home, hold a peculiar position in the Institution, inasmuch as he was called upon to treat the people housed there in minor cases of illness, though he held fo diploma in medicine. Mors had been to a medical school in Vienna but had failed of graduation, so Dunn has been told, and came to this country to escape the disgrace of his being dropped from the classes. When he was accepted at the hom last July in thi pacity of an o1 derly his medical knowledge becam known and Dunn insisted to-day that Mors was allowed to administer med- icine to the aged and infirm inmates when he had no right to do so. Thus ample opportunity was given norbid mind to do just what e confessed yesterday to have done, particularly in the case of arsenic poleoning, without great danger of detection. The only regular house phyisician the home hed, the Coroner declared to-day, was Dr. E. M. Jues- ter of No. 627 Morrie Park Avenue, Kingsbridge, which ts a considerable distance from the home. Rarely was the consulting physician present when one of the inmates died and there had been many cases of death at the home which should have demanded the at- tention of the Coroner, but had not been reported to him, Dunn added. The Coroner explained his criti- LAE PH du | clams by saying that to his know!l- edge there had ben many cases of death from cerebral hemmorhi in the home where the patient died be- fore Dr. Juester could be summoned. Buch a death without medical at- tendance should properly be a Cor- oner's case; but the consulting phy- sician had filled out more than one certificate in such instances without notifying the Coroner.
