Five other orderlies who safd they had had “some drinks” with Daly in Brooklyn last night, were taken into custody as material witnesses. None of them appeared to have been poi- soned.

Near him were found four pint bottles each containing only a few drops of liquor, which is to be analyzed. Dr. Ainiono notified the police, and an ambulance was sent from Flower Hospital, but Daly was dead when it arrived. ‘The witnesses held are James Smith, James Morrissey, No. 453 East 186th Street, Bronx; James T. Walker, No. 285 Ninth Avenue; Joseph Bergman and James Fitzpatrick, both orderiies at the hospital. ‘The police intimated they knew where the so-called liquor came from. _— WET PAVEMENTS CAUSE ACCIDENTS Several Injured by Skidding Autos —One Strikes Pole and Rings Fire Alarm, Slippery pavements following the action of the. rain on the ice this morning delayed traffic in the streets and caused.a number of accidents.
