FOUND HIM OUT

In Time to Prevent an Unlaw-ful Marriage.

Kfss JfiiHiio CoTcn Snred From a Great Misrortnae—Builder Elliott’s Remark­able Escai)aao—He AVns Married, but Forgot tlio Fact.

For m onumental iiorvo am i Simon pure Rail Hie palm m ust uiiqucstionabiy bo awanlcil to a young m an who, up to a few daj-s ago a t least, was a 'rosiilont of this city. The i\amo of the Incliviilual referred to is Sam uel W. E lliott. Ho is a m arried man and lived in line style in a iiiown stone residence a t lO.'i tiavfield place, a laHhionablo Kootion of rro sp o c t heights. Mr. F.lliott is under 30 years of age, tall, blonde, Mid tlie poHsesBOV of a luxurian t straw colored m ustache of considerable proportions. Ho has been m arried several years to a young lady whoso parents reside in this city and the eonpie moved in good society. Tliey have no cliihlren, bu t Mr. E llio tt was tiie owner or posHessor o f a fine Newfounnlaml dog, of arisloeratio breeding, which lie valued bigliiy. Mr. E llio tt lias a huge acquaintance in tlie city and for a numlici* of years was connected in a business way with C. 11. Sheldon, builder. He wa.s lopked upon an cn expert in masonry and Iniilding m at­ters generally, and wan considered a particularly b rig h t and uprig lit young man. He was seen frequently in soeinty with ids young wife, and their friends and aeqnaiutaiice.s looked uiion the couple as aii exeoptionally model young )iair. Mr. E llio tt was not considered a moneyed man, bu t it was nniterstood th a t his fa flier, ir ho re­sides ill Oreeiiwieli, Conn., was well olf in fliis world's goods.

About a.year ago Mr. E llio tt severed bis busi­ness connection with Mr. Slieldon amt branched out for himself as a bnihlor. He had a large and influential acquaintance among builders and bnihliiig m aterial dealers generally, and noon a fte r Ins advent in this line negotiated for and Bcniirod a plot of ground on Oarfield place, be- t l i ^ - ^ f t l i and Sixth avennos, and sta rted in to hm llS l row of nine brown stone dwellings. Ho Hccurod a building loan of f f."),000 and tlie work was pushed along more or Ics.s rapidly. By the tim e the roofs were on ho got into trouble with the m aterial men, Messrs. Konkin lloss, brown stoue dealers; H. I. Chris­tian, brick and lime, and Charles E. Kogers Co., lumber. Ho satislied them for the time being by giving a m ortgage on the buildings. There were also several other creditors, wlio placed liens on the property, and in the rim ing the work was stopped because of E lliott's dechu a- tion th a t the funds had all been expondcl. Finally, Messrs. Uankin & Koss, C hnsliaii and Kogers took another m ortgage on tlie property and agreed to furnish Mr. E lliott willi funds to complete the buildings. The work then wont along, and in Juno the buildings were com­pleted. The estim ated value of the liousos was placed a t about $8,700 each, and it was found, upon figuring up, th a t Mr. E lliott expondcil, or had to expend, about $8,830 apiece. The proii- erty stood iu E llio tt’s name, and >lessrs, Uankin & Koss, C hristian and llogors, lieiiig desirous of realizing, commenced foreclosure proceed­ings in September. Tlie action was bronglit before Judge Moore, in tlie County Court, and came ill) for argum ent last weelc. Lawyer John J. Leary appeared for E lliott and another defeiidant,aiid asked for an adjonrn- meiit on tlie ground th a t an iinportaiit witness was absent from the city. There had been sev­eral adjournm ents of the case before and the judge bad set the case down perem ptorily for day, and ho declined to pu t it over. Tliv result was a lively tilt between the Judge and Counselor Leary, the upshot of which was the latter's w ith­drawal from tlie case. Tlie m atter came np again yesterday before Judge Clem ent in the City Court, and judgem ent of foi closnre was granted.

The absent witness above refei reii to by Lawyer AMiry was none o ther tiian Mr. EJliott, Jiiinself, and it is e.xtreinoly doubtful if he will ever again willingly rc tn n i to this city. There are reasons, olhor and far w eightier than those incidental to lAs business troubles, why Mr. E lliott thinks his presence hero would not bo a particularly desir­able thing for him a t the present time.

About three m onths ago E lliott, through iimtnal friends, was introduced to and became acquain t­ed with a most cliarm iug young lady. 'The m eeting occurred a t Brighton Beach and E llio tt becanie devoted to tier. The young lady's nam e is Jlinuio Maude Coven and she lives with her wido'.vcd m other a t 1.0.3.S Fulton street. She is about 30 years of ago, tall, fair complexion, tn owii hair, dark blue ej-es, regular features, tine lignre and is a decidedly handsome girl. Ho asked permis­sion to call. None of tlie party iiad any idea that he was a m arried man and Miss Coven granted liim the favor. The first time lie came he was introduced to lier motlier. He spent a pleasant evening and lost no time in impressing both tlie m otlicr and daivghter with the idea that he was an eligible young single man of oxcc|i- tiomilly good family, wealthy and m atrim onially iiielined. He seemed to be completely in fatuated with Mrs. Coven's danghtor .and took every op­portunity to ho near her. On siieh occasions lie would frequently sit for hours a t a time in the parlor with Miss Miiime, gazing into tier eyes without uttering a word, sucmingly content to be near lior. Finally liis attentions became so m arked that it was more than hinted by lier m other tliat a declaration was not out of order. E lliott tlion openly declared liis love for tlio daughter and urged a speedy and secret m ar­riage. Tliis Mrs. Coven would not consent 'lO, altliongh liev refusal did not arise from any snsnicioii of E lliott's motives. Ho contimiaUy sent and brought tlie young lady exiien- sive baskohs and bouquets of flowers and linally presenied her with an ex\icnsive soli­ta ire ' diam ond engagem ent ring. After lie Biieoecded in getting himself looked upon as I he aeUnowlodged sou in law prospective, his visits to the young lady becanio more and more fre­quent nntil linally he spent by far (he greater portion of Ilia time in her company. There ho met many of the yoniig lady’s friends and relatives and not tlio sliglitost effort w’as made to conceal tlie relationship between .Miss Minnie andliim solf. He took her out to drive nearly every pleasant afternoon behind a .s])anldng pair of liays and they wore often seen togcUicr in the evening a t the thea ter and other places of iimnso- inent. On such occasions a carriage or coupe was invariably bronglit into service and cverj-- th in g was done up in lino style. He conveyed the impression that tlio.so ouUUi were bis (irivatj property, and ho iievor lost an opportniiity to make a displ.ay of evidences of his prosperity. Frequently Elliot—urged tlio girl to consent to a secret marriage, bu t she always de­clined, and upon lier refusal ho would ap­peal to the mother, who would invariably reply that slic would not )>ermit it. He often chided Miss Jtinnie witli being a "m aina" girl and said on several occasions to her moidicr that she wouldn’t ill) anytliiiig witliont her consent. Mrs. Coven was very mimh taken with Jllliutt’s evident sincerity and tlionglil liiglily of him. Imt ho was not equal to tiie emergency of pei'sua.ling her to agree to a secret m arriage with her d.ingli- tcr. On 0)10 occasion arriving a t tlie young lady s house a t a somewliat later Imiir tlian ho had promised, he 0X!)!aiiied his delay by staling th a t it had been oeoasioned by tiie bn-iiie.s.s of ti'ansfcrring bis bank account from the (,'om- mereial to an uptown bank. He said bv way of ex\ilaiiation that he wanted to have bis money close a t hand so tlia t he could get it whenever it was necessary, witliont the bother of going down town. On this occasion 1)0 showed to the young lady and her m other a bank book made out in his name on the Commcroial Bank exhibiting de­posits to tlie extent of upward of J.’iO.OOO.

Neither Mrs. Coven nor her dangliter took tlie precaution to note tlie date of these der.osits or when Uiu bo.ak had been balanced. Had they done HO and made inquiries a t the bank they would have nudonbtedly found that nearly or quite all of the money had long before been paid out. He never lost an opportunity of urg ing the g irl to consent to a private m arriage, and Irieil to assure lier that so long as tliey had promised to m arry each otlicr it was just the same in the eyes of the law as if an aetiia! ceremony hail been per­formed. After presenting lier wiili a diamond engagem ent ring he as.siucd her tliat they were every b it as much m arried as if declared so liy the perform ance of Uic most solemn ceremony, as under the laws of the State of New 'I’ork a declar­ation of their in tention in the presence of a wit­ness was all th a t was necessary.

Both m otlier and dauglitcr dem urred to this, and in order to win tlicm over to his way of looking at tlio m atter ho offered to produce a Ian- book and dem onstrate tlie tru th of his assertion. Complaining one day (o the young lady of her refusal to consider herself m arried or to have tiie ceremony quietly perform ed, he described how110 had sliown iier photograph to tils' m other and liinv pleased she was with it. He gave as an ex­cuse for not introdnoing her to his parent.i that his father was out of the city and his m other was111 and not in a eonditioii to see tier. He frequently brought messages to the young lady wliicli he alleged were sent by liis m other, and declared th a t it would be the happiest moment of liis life when he could jiresent her to his beloved relative. He conveyed tlie impression tliat his parents lived in siimptnons style on Union street. Oil one occasion he related to Miss Coven how well pleased his m other was witli what ho had told he r of lier iirospectivo daughter in law and declared th a t she had inomised to give tliem a new and elegantly fiiriiished brown stone resi- donee on Gavlicld.place as a wedding present. Soon afterw ard he said that liis m other had turned the house over to him and was then engaged in fiin iish ing it from top to bottom. Then lie again iiiado a linal effort to iiidnco her to go with him and be quietly juarried, and. upon her again reliising, he con- BCiited to m an y her as she wished, in the pres-

fcce of lier relatives and frionds. Finally aii- ^^ n n cc n ie iits were sent out for the approacliing

ceremony and preparations for the celebration of th e event were entered upon. The bride s troiis- Eoan was ordered and the date of tlio coremoiiy decided upon. Elliott, who had full charge of the preliminaries, saw to it tliat none of the aiinouiicc- jnoiits reached any of his relatives, friends or ao- quaiutanccs. After this E llio tt visited Mis^ Coven several t imc.s a d.ay and described to thp

ttana lie was perfee’

th e ir pathw ay . a fte r the ceremony had been perform ed and recommended o ther plans to be carried ou t incidental to th e ceremony. H e said to Miss Coven th a t they would tell her m otlier and the others th a t they 'would go to Philadelphia on their wedding trip and visit some of their relatives who lived there, bu t they would no t go there a t all. Instead they would go to some place where they could enjoy themselves very imicJi bettor.

One day when E llio tt called on the young lady he inform ed her tlia t tlie house lie had spoken about had been turned over to him by his m other and invited her to go witli liim and look a t it. She coiiBonted, a date was fixed fo r the visit and they went there together. Miss Coven, not yet being Mr.s. Elliott, witli proper modesty refrained from any undue eritieisin of the house or its fur- iiisliiiigs, and to all appearances, a t least, was very iiiiioli pleased with he r prospective homo. After tliey had exam ined the dwelling and its content.s E llio tt stated to liis companion th a t he wa.s going to dr.iw up a deed of the lioiisoand fur- iiitiiie and malic it over to her a t once, as he con­sidered slic was as much lii.s wife a.s .she ever would he and hecaiise ho considered th a t the wisest thing a man cmil.l do was to provide a. home for liiin- self tlia t would rem ain safe from business chanees. Ho neglected, however, to havo tliis ntloiided to by a lawyer, ^iid one day, while a t the young lady's hoiiKO, ho sent out for a deed and drew it up himself, by whieli ho ooiive.yed the house and fnriiitnro to her, the deed being drawn to “.Minnie Maude Elliott, my wife." This he signed in the presence of Minnie and her mother, sta ting a t the time th a t now (ilio not only Had the lionse and fn n iitn re bu t him self as well. Ilia description ot her as his wife being sa t- lie.eiit ovidenoe, undor the laws of the State of New York, of their being man and wife, lie said. Tims, he made a double conveyance of himself and house without tho services of eitiior m inister or lawyer. B ut with tlio convenience of a troaeii- ei’ous memory lie neglected to make any refereneo to the lien his creditors had upon the property ill tho shape of a $8,43'0 m ortgage on the build­ing and a $37.3 mortgage on tho furniture. This be piosnmalily considered to be a mere detail wlii'jli a woman, and a young one especially, would iicithor niiderstaiid or be intoresled in. rio m atters went along, the couple were togelhor almost continiionsly, and tho dsy for the eere- nioiiy rapidly grew near. One day, about three weeks iigo, lieing down town, aliss .Minnie stopped into E lliott's office, on I'lntlinsii avenue, lo sec him. He was not Uiere, Imt she was informed th a t lie had gone around to hi.s lionsc in Giirlield place. Tliiiikiiig th a t lie was visiting the house lie had made over to her she conj'hided to go around and meet him tlicre. rilio tripped liglitly up tlio slept of tlio stoop, rang the boll, and was gre.itly .siirpri.sed to have i t answered by .a well dressed woman, but little older tlian iiovself, and to all appearm ees domiciled there. "Before a.sk- iiig any qnoHlioiis !Miss Coven stoiiped back on the stoop and lookeil about to see whollier she liad not made a mistake. No, slie had not. .Slin was lit the door of the r ig h t house. Then she said:

“I failed to see Mr. Elliott, is lie in ? ’“No: Mr. E llio tt is not in, bu t I am Mrs. E llio tt,”

cainc the answer.“ .31r.s. E llio lt!''exelaim cd tho caller. “You arc

not his motiiar, are you“I ititi not,” was tlie ciii b rep ly .' " I am iii.s wife.

Can 1 be of any service to you '!”“I mu looking for Mr. riaiiuiel Vf. E lliott," said

3Iiss Coven.“I said tliat he was not a t homo and th a t I am

Mrs. Hamnel \V. E lliott."“I tliiuk there m ust be some mistake," said

Jli.ss Coven. “I nmlei’staiid th a t ho is niiinar- ried."

“ Well, if my husband is the Mr. E lliott you are looking fill' lie certainly is m arried. tVon’t yon walk in, perhaps I can a ttend to whatever yon may desire

Miss Coven ooiisentcd and followed Mrs. E llio tt into tlie parlor where she was shown a iiholo- grapli of her hostess’ linsliand. rihe recognized it a t once as the Mr. E lliott of her aeqnaintaneo and tier surprise can be more readily imagined tlian described.

Ishe intim ated, however, tliat she d id n ’t believe tliat Jlr. E lliott was her liiisbaiul, and of conr.se there was a scene. .Mrs. E lliott excused herself for a moment, left tho room and presently re­turned. carrying a Bible and roll of paper, which slie presented to Mis.s Coven for inspection. 'Tiie roll of paper proved to be a iiiiirriage cei tilieate of Mr. and Mrs. .Samuel W. Elliott, and Mrs. E lliott turned to the family record in tlie Bibio and showed her visitor Uie entry ot tiie e'/eiit there. So great was Miss Coven's siirpriso that she still refused to believe tliat tlie otiier was tlie wife of the iiinn wlio had promised to m arry her. Finally Mrs. E llio tt pu t on tier street a tlire and. aeeompiiiiie.l her caller to tho resilience of her m other on .Seventh avenuo, where such abun­dance of proof was forthcom ing tlia t Miss Coven could no longer doubt that she was heing made Ilio victim of a most nnscrnpiilons man. The two young women sepnraled aii.l went their several ways. tVlieii Miss Coven reached lier home slio told her m other amid tears and sobs w hat she had diseov.'icd, and no time was lo.st m inform ing tho.se wlio liiid been notifled of tlie dangliter's engage­m ent and approacliing m arriage tliat it had lieon broken off. I t is not known what occnried be­tween Mr. and Mi’s. E llio tt wlieii he re tu rued to the bo.soui of his family on the evening of tho m neling of Mrs. E llio tt and .Mis.s Coven, bu t it is more tlian likely th a t there was an exceedingly lively .scene between them . On Novemher 0, tho day following, Jlrs. E llio tt visited tho residence of Miss Coven and tlicrc met the young lady’s motlier. rilio said th a t slie had called to get two rings tliat her luisbaiid had given to Sli.ss Coven wliicli belonged to licr, one of tliem being lier en­gagem ent ring. Jlrs. Coven agreed to return them if slie. in her turn, would ro tun i lier diuigli- te r’s piclni’O, wliicli was in tlio possession of Mr. Elliott. Tliis Mr.s. E lliott agreed to do, the rings were returned to her, ami she left the house with­out seeing the daughter.

iV few days a fte r tins visit both Mr. and Mr.s. E llio tt left the city, and arc now said to bo sojimrniiig in Connecticut, D uring the Hummer E llio tt niort.g.igcd lii.s fiirn itn rc for some $37.3, and one day this week it was seized undor forc- elosure pi’oceodings, and will bo sold a t piiblio nnolioii tosatisi’y the m ortgage against it. When E lliott took Jliss Coven to look a t tlie lioiiso, 10.3 Garlield place, he was living there with liis wife, liaving presum ably sent her away so as to be sure of no intoi ference on her part.

N either Mrs. Coven nor her daughter have any intention of tak ing any legal action against E lliott, but the form er staled that it woidil not be well for liim to show himself again in this city. ________ ^ ______

Tlio new appeal to the General Term was based on tlie ground tliat the Court of Scssi iiis bud mi pinvi-r to pus i jndgriieiit a fte r the apiieibife, court had passed upon tim appeal.

TO SAVE A LIFE.

What Mrs. Southworth’s Fam­ily Expect to Prove.

Green'well’s Counsel Raises a Uew Point of Law.

Morons Brown, sh ir t m anufacturer a t 40 W hite

Insanity and Social BcTelatlons Will be Utilized to Clear Stephen Pettns’ Slayer. The Woman in the Tombs.

Mrs. H annah B. Sonthworth, tho slayer o f Ste­phen Pettns, secretary and treasu rer o f the Brooklyn Elevated, passed an exceedingly rest­less n ig h t in th e Tombs, and tvhen early m orning broke the terrib le nervous stra in under which she has been laboring for weeks past was plainly visible in he r pale and sunken features. D uring tho n ig h t narcotics and soothing portions were adm inistered by th e jail physician. Dr. Magee, bu t w ithout the desired effect. Tho prisoner lias a hollow cough, which seems greatly aggravated by the recen t oeonrrencea, and, together with tho sunken checks and hectic flnsh which a t times appears, wonid indicate fa iling health and a broken constitution.

Mr. Hummel, of hor counsel, when seen in re­gard to he r condition th is m oruiug, said: “ Wliile debilitated, 1 th in k she is some easier th is morn­ing. I t is impossible to get any very lucid sta te ­m ent from lier, hu t by to-morrow I expect slio will be calm enough to talk . H er physician has given strict orders for tier to see no one. I called myself this m orning and had a long conversation, which I am not a t liberty to give a t present. She has also w ritten a completo statem ent, g iving all partionlai’s of tho wrongs which have led to this final climax, and it n ill all ho need at tho tria l.”

"Is there any tru th in tho statem ciit th a t jits’. Southworth was conneoted with an elopement case iu Auburn some tivo years ago?"

"No, there is not a pavticlo of. tru th iu such a re p o rt . . We have tended to most of hor legal m atters and I have her full history."

"Tho defense will, of course, be insanity?”"Y’es, sir. I have plenty of proof r ig h t hero

in iny office to prove th a t she is insane and it will all be brought up a t the trial. This wrong lias greatly prayed upon lier m ind, added to which are peculiar physical troubles and the fact th a t she lias never been able to get any satisf.actioii; for you know th a t Jlr . Pettus was never b rought into court, oven a fte r the trouble on Sands street in Brooklyn, for the charge was sh ifted onto the policom ii’s shoulders and ho was the one who appeared ill court.”

Deimty W arden Finlev, when seen a t the Tombs, said : “ I have orders not to adm it any one, as tlm woman is in a very bad way and not able to stand any exeitomoiit wliatever.”

The only caller a fte r Mr. Hummel was her brother, Jlr. W. B. JIartiii. w ith whom she livc.l in Brooklyn. Tbo m eeting was very, affecting, the m’i-ioiier asking, amid h e r sobs o f anguish, for her motlier.

Tlio bro thers of Hanii.ah B. Soutlnvorth prom ­ise th a t her nn irder of Stephen Pettus will be followed by a coiiiiilete exposure of oireumstiinces ill tbo life of her victim th a t in tlie ir opiiiinn justify her terrible crime. W illiam B. Jlartiu when seen yesterday said th a t lie would probably be ready to fiirntsh those facts to-,lay, but to-day Mr. Jliu’tin said th a t his sister’.s law.ver.s eop.sid- ered th a t it was best to defer the exposure un til i t was called for iu court. Mr. J la rtiu said this iim rniog:

“I have no t yet seen my sister. ,Slie is in the ho.spital ward of the Tombs tirison under modi- eal treatment.. My brotbar George lias gone this inoroing to see her. All I reg re t in this act of b e r’s is th a t it ivas slie and not one of lier brotb- oi’s will) killed the seonndrel. Among the iiist- ters we will now make public wiil bo tho t'nl[ proof th a t my sister was not tho only woman whoso ruin he worked. Wo shall withhold iioUiiiig th a t will serve to throw ligh t on tbo canse.t. of her act. One of tiie women th a t is involved in th is exposure is very promi­nen t ill soi'iely. In the safe at Howe Hummel’s office a re fetters tliat sbow P e ttn s’ guilt toward my sister and Ids eonneetion with these other women. See bow atroeioiislyshe has b’oeii treated b.v tlie antliorities, siipno.sed to be in terested in reenring jiintico in this city. '.Vlien she wa.i ai- rosted near the door of P e ttu s’office last Spring she was on her w a y to ask him, by tiio direction of lier lawyers, if it was bo or somojone olie tli it bad einplDye.d dotoetivo.ijto follow her, and wlicn taken to tlia police c o u r t - dragged igiKmiinionsly tlirough the street—tlio D istrict A ttorney of tlie’comity a ’lpearod against lier. Was there e)or sue.li a tiling hoard of? I do not know bow .she got tbo oom age to kill tliis man. H;s bnUiility had crazed her on the sub­ject of her relations with him. We can b ring medical testiinony to prove tliat. I passed a sleep­less n igh t and .am in poor condition to talk about the affair this m orning, but I regret I ciiiiiiot im- iiv. diately make known some of tho acts th a t wrought my sister to the frenzy of this vengeance while tbeso fearfiiliy iinjn.st editorials of some of the newspaiiers are still being read .”

Perhaps the dre.ad of being sent to the Houso of Dutontimi for an iiululinito length o t tim e is de terring those who witnessed the shooting of iStephen lY ttirs by Haiiniili M artin Soutliwortb yostei’day from coming forward with tlieir ovi- doncc.s. W hatever may be the reason for tlio silence certain it is th a t out of the largo iiumbar of persons who were witliin six feet of the as- sanltod and assailant bu t two have signified any willingness to tell wliiit they know. One is Will- liini Allard Dorsoii, of 00 H igh street, th is city, and the other, wlio.ic name the police decline to give, is said to be tho city salesman of the Royal Baking Powder Company, of Now York. Tlic reports of tliosb who saw Mr. Pettus and Jlrs. Soutliwortb between the ferry lionse and the place wliere tlie killing was done are coiillieting and conti’iidiot()i’.v. JViil- tcr, a colored m an employed in Sweet's restauran t a t ’ 4 Fulton street, says th a t he was going lint on an errand and lie saw a woman ru n up bohiiul a m an and tap him on the shoulder. Then lie saw the mnn tiirii round. JValtor tlieii continued on bis errand. When ho returned and heai’jJ th a t a woman had sliot a man, who was dying in B en n etts tea store, he ran tliore and ideiitiiied Jlrs. Southworth as the woman ho liad seen nud the dn.ad man as the man she had tanped. Dorsou’s testim ony appear.s to say tliiit tlio woman who was ]iiirr.ving a t a ha lf tro t sliot her victim in tho back as soon ,as she got witliin t'.raeliing distance and th a t she did not speak to him or try to a ttrac t h is altoiitioii in any way. Dimiitloss when tlic tim e tomes Unit the woman be arraigned to stand trial, m any wlio are now kcejiiiig silence will be ready to talk.

All ex’aminafion of the metaiio cartrivlgo shells taken from tho revolver from which were fired tho fatal shots discloscH th a t tho woman mii.st, iu spite of the coolness of dem eanor she iiiaiii tallied, havo been in a state of frenzied excitem ent when she pulled tho trigger. There wore only five chambers to the pistol and ooiiscquently only five shots could have been fired, yet throe of the car­tridges show plainly by the m arks th a t the ham­m er fell on them a t least twice, proving th a t the hand wliicli held the weapon contiiiuod to work the self cocking trigger a fte r i t had boon ren­dered nsolosS by lack of am m unition.

The autopsy porfoniiod a t the n ii.lertakiiig os- tabli.shineiit a t 171 Bowery, New Y’ork, by Dep­u ty Coroner Jenkins showed th a t every shot had taken effect. One balle t had struck tho small of the back and passing th rough tho siuall intes­tines and tho stom ach had left tho body on the left side of tho abdomen, ju st below the pocket of tho waistcoat, sm ashing in tran s it the heavy gold watch th a t was carried there. In a space less than six inches in eircumforenee just below the left shoulder blade were throe bullet woniid.s. One ball had passed s tra ig h t tlirough the upper lung and lodged against tho skin of tho chest, another had penetrated the ba.so of tho lung and was just beneath tho left nipple, tho th ird of the tliree was a llosh wound, liaving apparoiitly been turned aside by a rib. The last ball had struck tho loft forearm and passed through it, breaking tbo two siiiall lioiie.s.

“I’M A DEAD MAN”

The Astonishing Declaration Made to an Officer.

Baker, Who Turned State’s Eridoiice in tlie Weeks Murder Trial, Shot at by a Former Fellow Frisoiicr.

Lyman S. Weeks’ m urder wivs recalled in Justice Henna’s Court this m orning when .John Baker, ali.as John Rust, appeared as complaiiiaiit against Joseph Jackson, a colored man, who is employed as an hostler iu Raymond Street Jail. Baker is tho man who was arro.ited with John Gienwell ill a New Y'ork lodging house for complicity in tho m urder of Mr. Week.s. He tiiniod S tate’s evidence, thereby assisting in tho conviction of Grenwell ami securing his own release. D uring Baker’s confiiieiiient hi the jail, ho, as well as Grenwell, heenmo acquainted with Jackson and when Baker was discharged the colored man and he became fast fnciids. Baker asHiniied the name of Rust and went to live in a house of questionable repute a t (iO Lafayette stree t. Last evening Jack- son paid a visit to Baker and tlie two men sat and talked for hours. Finally, the conversation turned on “ poor Greeiiwell,” as Jackson term ed him. Baker n;)heUl Ins story th a t the eondomiio 1 man -liad killed Lym an S. Weeks while Jaok.soii was Just as positive th a t Greeiiwell was an inno­cent man. as ta r as m urder was coiieoriied. Then tlie two men became iieatcd, and Jackson blurted out bluntly th a t he believe ! th a t Baker and Krause were equally guilty, if Greeiiwell was. Bilker tired of Hie argum ent and aniioiiiicod th a t he was going to bed.

“ I can see now, ’ shontod Jackson. “ le a n see i t all. You don’t cave tn hear anvthiiig about poor John iiml yon want b> get rid of me.”

“ Go liome, Joe, go liome," said Baker, ooaxiiig- ly. “ I want to go to bed."

As he said so. Baker starfod to open the door, when Jnoksoii p u llc l a revolver from his pocket and fired p iiiit blank a t his friend. Jloro friglit- cned tlian hiii’t. Baker dropped to the floor and squealed like a stock pig. Jackson ran from the house and nov.'r stopped un til ho reached the Jail, where he threw his uistol into a stove and went to bed.

Ill the m eantim e several occupants in tho house began to shout “JIn idor! "ami “Boliee! ’ and then carried Baker to liis bed. Policeman Prendor- gast, of tlie Fourth Preeiiiot, heard the cries, and hu iried into tho house. As soon as Baker saw him, tic began to shout th a t he. Baker, was a dead man. Tlie offiocr hurried ly suiiimoncd an ambiilanoe, and the surgeon, a fte r a cursory ex­am ination, found (hat tlie bullet had not entered tho abdomen, bu t moroiy grazed tli#sl,in , causing a contused wound. Baker’s wound was attended to, and then tho otfieer went to tho Ja il iio.ar by and .arrested .Tacksoii. Under hi.4 pillow n’as fom ul’a largo knife. The pistol, or ra th e r what was left of it, w.as found in the stove.

Jackson was arra igned before Justice Goetting, ill Justice K enna’s court, this iiioriiiiig on a charge of assault in the first degree. Baker, ap­parently uninjured, stopped up to the beach when the case was called.

“I t was an accident, your Honor,” said Jackson. “John will tell you the same th ing .”

“JVho is John';” asked Justice Goetting."Why, Jlr . Baker here,” replied Jackson, as he

pointed to tho complainant.Bnt .loliii, or Jlr. Baker, had nothing to say.

Instead, ho turned away and only spoke when Justice Goetting asked him when he would bo ready to prosecute. Ho answor.jd “any day,” bnt Jackson waived cxiiinimition and was held to aw ait the action o t tiio G rand Jury .
