The Police of New York City Think
They Have Him In Custody.
WEAVIN’G A NET ABOUT HIM.
Arrested For Robbery, He 'Is Identified
as Having Been \Vith Miss Bock on
' Night of Her Death —— An _Al-
most Forgotten Sensation.
New York, May 14.—The police believe
that they have in the prisoner Jacob
Tolker, who was run down and arrested
in Central park two days ago, the man
or one of the men who were with Annie
Book, the woman who was murdered on
the morning of Aug. 4 last year in her
flat on East Twentyeseventh street. The
character of the crime for which he is
held and the testimony of several wom-
en of Annie Book’s class have contrib—
uted to weave a net around him that
the prisoner is struggling to break
through with might and main. In a.
statement made to Captain O’Brienhe
denies excitedly that he robbed Pauline
Barnett, which is the present charge
against him.
It was on the night of Nov. 10 last
year that this woman was assaulted,
choked into insensibility and robbed, so
she said, by a. man she had taken into
her flat on St. Mark’s place. The bark-
ing of her dog attracted the neighbors,
who found her senseless in her bed. She
did not recover consciousness fully for
days, and when she did went intoa de-
lirium about being robbed and choked.
Eventually it developed that the thief
had taken $6 in money and diamonds
valued at $108.
The crime, coming close upon several
mysterious murders of women of her
kind, all of them apparently committed
for robbery, spurred the police to un-
usual efforts to discover the perpetra-
tor. .The Barnett woman had a clear
recollection of the man who choked her.
She described him exactly to the police.
Captain O’Brien detailed Detectives
Stransky, Reilly, Reidy and McCarthy
to take her in hand. Ever since they
have traveled up and down the town
with her on the lookout for the stranger.
Sometimes the sister of the Barnett
woman, who had also seen the assail-
ant, was along.
Face to Face.
Once, months ago, her sister saw in
Orchard street the man who had orig-
inally introduced the stranger to her
and her sister. He was a man with
black whiskers. Before she could have
him arrested he was gone. The search
was resumed unsuccessfully until the
other day, when the Barnett woman
came face to face with the strangler in
Central park. She knew him at sight
and made an outcry. He ran, but was
chased by the crowd and finally run
down and arrested. Captain Collins of
the park police turned him over to the
detectives, and Magistrate Cornell re-
manded him. That was how he came
to police headquarters.
Tolker first denied everything. He
had never seen the Barnett woman, he
said.
But as during the last few days he
was called up into Captain O’Brien’s
office two or three times a day and
confronted with other women who
promptly picked him out and said,
“That’s him," he grew more and more
uneasy. Finally he sent word to Cap-
tain O’Brien that he had something to
say. He made a. long statement admit—
ting that he was the ma'n who was with
Pauline Barnett, but denying that he
choked or robbed her. They quarreled,
he said, and he ran away. Afterward
he was afraid to go near the police.
The captain sent him back to his cell
without telling him what he was evi-_
dently anxious to know—namely, what
all the other women had said about
him and what they had come to Mul—
berry street for. This was what they
were there for: They were witnesses in
the Anne Bock mdrder case, and they
said that the prisoner was one of the
men who went home with her the night
she died.
‘ “’eaving the Not.
That was at midnight of Aug. 3. Jen-
nie Freeman, who is known as Crazy
Jennie, and Evelyn Russell saw the
Book woman standing in front of Tam-
many hall with two men. One had a
black beard, the other had none. They
looked like Spaniards. After awhile
they went away together to the corner
of Third avenue. The bearded man left
them, there. The other took a cable car
going up town with Annie Bock. One
of the tenants heard them come in soon
after. In the morning Annie Bock was
found dead in her bed with her throat
cut from ear to ear.
Neither the bearded man nor the man
who went home with the woman, and
who was with her last, was ever found,
though the police sought them high and
low.
Now Jennie Freeman says that the
prisoner Tolker is the man who was
last with her murdered friend. She
picked him out of a file of five as the
man who stood talking with Mrs. Bock
in front of Tammany hall and after—
ward took the car up town with her.
Evelyn "Russell, who saw him also on
that night, says that he looks just like
him.- That is the net the detectives are
weaving about their prisoner, whom
they kept in the Mulberry street cell.
For Assistant Bishop of Connecticut.
New Haven, May 14.——It was an-
nounced today on the highest authority
that Rev. David H. Greer of St. Bar-
tholomew's church, New York city, is a
candidate for the position of assistant
bishop of the diocese of Connecticut,
created by request of Bishop Williams,

tion a necessity.
Shocked by Lightning.
Tarrytown, N. Y., May 14‘.—The house
of John W. Free,,on VVildey street, was
struck by lightning in a thunderstorm.
Mr. Free and his family were at home
at the time. Mr. Free was knocked
down and paralyzed for some time. His
family were severely shocked. The
house next to Mr. Free’s was also
struck.

Worcester, Mass, May 14.—The dead
body of Charles H. Cypher, who had

found at Sterling today, and it is be-
lieved that the man was murdered.
Monday morning Cypher’s team was
found and a. search for the owner re-
sulted in the discovery of his body.

Nerwalk People are Tal
About it on Every
Corner. ’
It is sometimes an easy matter to fool
the public, but you can’t keep it up
very long. They are sure to find you
out; and every time a man is fooled an-
other skeptic is made. Skepticism is
allowable when reading in a home news-
paper about some incident occurring in
San Francisco or Iowa, but the circum-
stances are entirely difierent when it
refers to some one right here at home,
friends and neighbors, people you
know, whom you can see, and with
whom you can talk it over. This is the
kind of evidence at the back of Doan’s
Kidney Pills—home statements by
home people, and the astonishing local
work they have been doing, hasmaused
more talk among our citizens than the
doings of any other modern wonder.
Read the following.
Mr. C. A. Owens, No. 190,Main Street
is a painter and a. paper hanger by
trade. Like the majority of men who
follow this occupation he is troubled
with disordered kidneys. The requis-
ites to his calling benzine, turpentine,
and other dryers excite and inflame
those organs and late in the fall he
found himself suffering from a return
of the 01d complaint. Mrs.
ever mindful of her husband’s welfare,
procured for him a box of Doan’s Kid
ney Pills at Hale’s drug store and he
used them. Mrs. Owens says, “My
husband has been greatly benefited by
the use of Doan’s Kidney Pills: Con-
stant working in white lead and mixing
paint has brought, on kidney trouble
and a severe headache. Relief in any
form is always welcome and we are
pleased to recommend Doan’s Kidney
Pills for what they have done.

A Statement by Mayor Harrison Concern-
ing Their Extension.
Springfield, Ills.,May 14.-—Mayor Har-
rison of Chicago has made the follow-
ing statement concerning the action of
the legislature in refusing to extend for
50 years the franchises of the street
railway companies:
“The defeat of the Humphrey bill?
leaves the extension of the trac1i-j-z:
companies’ franchises where it 1: :‘ul'.'3:“.:v'
belongs—in the hands of the lllLilii' i
authorities of Chicago. In my (.z.'.i:ii._-u
speaking as an individual, the ncx.
should be to bring the extension oi the
franchises before the proper civic un-
thorities, where, if, they appear \.1‘.l‘.
clean hands, offering the municizmlirinr
adequate compensation, the C'Cl"i‘;;’:.'..'..l~.
will receive just treatment.
“Chicago is a fair city, an honest city.
a generous city. Its people believe nei-
ther in destruction nor confiscation.
Their desire is to build up and not to
tear down, to anchor and not to cast
adrift. We need the assistance of out-1
side capital to help develop our indus-
tries, and outside capital will flow into
our coffers only upon the guarantee of
absolute fair treatment. The steady—
ing of the values of the traction com-
panies’ stocks will bring stability to the
value of all our local stocks and bonds.
“Our fight has been mainly for the
principle of home rule. We have won
the battle. It now remains for us to
show our ability to protect the inter-
ests of the citizens of Chicago and at
the same time accord justice to the cor-
porations.”
BIG ESTATE TIBD UP.
Missouri Supreme Court Equally Divided
on a. Novel Legal Point.
St. Louis, May 14.—The supreme
court of Missouri is in a deadlock over
the partnership estate of Murdock &
Dickson, which involves more than $1,-
000,000. The case is before the supreme
court on a writ of prohibition to re-
strain the circuit judges from enter-
taining or making any orders in the
case. Charles K. Dickson, who was in
partnership with William Murdock.
died in 1871. Dickson’s individual es-
tate was inventoried at over $1,000.002J.
Dickson made a will, with the late
James B. Eadcs and Barton Bates at:
executors. Murdock took out letters of
administration on the partnership cs-
tate. Later he made an assignment of
the assets to John G. Priest.
In 1895 Attorney John M. Dickson. a
son of Charles K. Dickson. went into
the probate court and raised the point
that the law had no provision for an
estate in course of administration
being assigned.
This point was carried to the highest
court, but the supreme court of the
state stands 3 to 3 in respect to it. The
court has asked the adverse parties to
agree upon a special judge, whose de-
cision shall be final.
Professorships at. Columbia.
New York, May 14.—When Professor

lurgy and Alfred J. Moses professor of
mineralogy. Mr. Howe is a son of Julie.
Ward Howe, and was graduated from
Harvard in the class of ’69 and from the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
in 1871.
