A fishing boat brought him in, and when he revived he described the deaths of five. “We wore all swimming about,” he said, “and six of us found the buoy, where we clung. We stayed there for hours, and were gradually exhausted I knew. what was coming, and I to get an arm hooked into the buoy so that it would hold me. “One by one I saw the other five drop off, and as they dropped they sank, Not one of them was in any condition to swim. I know the names of these victims, but not their ad- dresses. They were Agnes McGowan, Olive Best, John Monteleon, John Tuftse-and Marguerite McDonough. I lost consciousness after the last of them had gone down, and the next I remember was the morning sun.” The graphic story of the disaster is best pieced together from the frag- mentafy account given by John Regan, now ,confighd to his bed as a result of his exhausting efforts to manage sixteen boats and forty pa nengers at once, Regan is assistant city editor of the Brooklyn Citizen, and {t was his motor launch that was towing the canoes. Fifty canoes carrying the members and guests of the Sheepshead Bay Canoe Club started for the annual moonlight sai! from their clubhouse to Rockaway Point. There were from two to four persons in each canoe, and there were many banjoes and guitars sending music over the water they started in a smooth sea, SUDDEN SOUTH WIND JERKS THE CANOES.

Hardly had he passed. beyond the town limits of Rahway when he saw headlights approaching. The policeman drew his revolver and stood in the middle of the road, commanding the mad motorist to halt. He leaped aside after firing point blank at the figure behind the wheel. It was near dawn whe searchers came upon the body of hss Janny, This was down farther on the same road over which the murder car had sped, in a land of brick kilns and oil tanks. ‘The girl lay on her face by the road side, @ bullet behind her loft ear and the hair about the wound burned by exploding powder, ‘That she had been tossed from a moving car was evi- denced by the fact that her face was badly scratched and marks in the dust showed where her botly had rolled under the propulsion of the auto's speed. A half-mile further on was found the car, with the radiator smashed and one flat tire. In the bottom uf the car, by the rear seat, lay a cap afterwards identified as Kupfer's with a bullet hole through the crown aad a woman's bonnet and overcoat. Mias Janny's sister identified all three articles, She said her sister always ‘wore her fiance's cap when out motoring. The bonnet own and the overcoat Kupfer. Among the score of baffling contra- into the road and |, dictions taching to the murder mys- are ru: tery is this: Kupfer was shot just above the heart, the bullet ranging downward, indicating that the re- volver was held above him when aii charged; there were no powder marks about the, wound, although Edith Janny's wound in the head indicated that the revolver was held close to the #kin when she died. Mrs. Hendrickson has told Chief of Police Burke of Perth Amboy that, returning from Seldler’s Beach, Kup- fer, who was driving, had engine trouble and had to get out to fix the magneto. This opens the theory that when Kypfer was shot he was out- side the car and bending over the engine. Yet Dr. Moore is sure he saw a body thrown from the ton- nes also the car started instantly after the body struck the road. Another contradiction lies in the fact that Dr. Moore heard the voices of two men immediately after the shots on Milton Avenue arguing as to “getting rid of the girl.” Police- man Skolsky, who tried to stop the car on the Linden road, two miles away, declares that only one man was in the machine—the man in the light suit. _— Resigns Commission to Get Fight- ing Job.
