AS DARK MIDNIGHT.

The Mystery Which Surrounds the
Staten Island Tragedy.

A‘ QUESTION 0]? IDENTITY.

Buttinger’s Murderer May Have Been
the Astor House Suicide, or if Not,
the Whole Thing May Prove to Be
a Big Life Insurance Swindle.

N EW'YORK, March 18.—The mystery sur-
rounding the finding of a dead body
strapped, bound and gagged on the Staten
Island shore, near Tottenville, last Wednes-
day, has deepened and widened until it
overshadows the most pretentious ones of
recent years. In the mouth of the corpse
was stufied a handkerchief with the in-
itials “W. W.” A German passport num-
bered 2,780, issued at Dresden, Germany,
Dec. 20, 1890, to Carl Emanuel Ruttinger,
a. clerk, aged 43, and a receipt for a regis-

 

WILLIAM WRIGHT—FRED EVANS.

tered letter postmarked Southampton,
England, December, 1890, were found in
the pockets. The letter was addressed to
Carl Emanuel Ruttinger, 111 Neckar
street, Stuttgart.

These clews followed up brought out the
following facts: .

Ruttinger sailed from Liverpool on the
Inman line steamship City of Chicago Dec.
31. With him was William Wright, his
brother’s brother-in—law. Wright is an
Englishman. They went to board at a fash-
ionable German. boarding house in West
Fifty-eighth street kept by Mr. Neu. They
were together until Feb. 1, when Wright
went away, taking his luggage with him.
He said he was going to Boston, and Rut-
tingcr corroborated him in this. The fol-
lowing day Ruttinger went. out after
breakfast. He never returned.

Among the effects of Carl Emanuel Rut-
tinger which were ' at Neu’s boarding
house was a photograph taken in Ger-
many of a group of sportsmen starting on
ahunting trip. Prominent in the group
are Ruttinger and William \Vright,
his friend. This picture, District At-
torney Fitzgerald believes, will go along
way toward clearing up the mystery of
Ruttinger’s death and the disappearance
of “Tright. The district attorney’s atten-
tion was called by a reporter to the close
resemblance between VVright’S face in the
photograph and that of Fred Evans, the
unidentified Astor House suicide.

The Astor House Suicide.

Evans registered at the hotel on Feb. 2,
late at night. He was found dead, lying
on the floor, early the next morning, with
his throat cut from ear to ear. He held a
new razor in his hand. Everything had
been done by Evans to conceal his identity.
The band of his hat had been removed, the
tailor’s name had been cut from the collar
of his coat and pieces had been cut from
parts of his collar and shirt.

In the mean time a kind hearted woman
offered to pay the burial expenses, and had
the body removed to Undertaker Daly’s,
opposite the morgue. Coroner Levy would
not agree to this arrangement, and Under-
taker Duify took charge 01? the body, and
kept it at his shop several days awaiting
identification. There was no money forth—
coming to pay the expenses of burial and
Evans’ body was sent to the morgue. Per-
rin H. Sumner, who became notorious
through his identification of the old man
who committed suicide at the Getty House
in Yonkers as James H. Edgar, saw Evans’
body at the morgue, and identified it as
George H. Edgar, the old man’s nephew.
At the inquest Sumner failed to substan—
tiate the identification. Evans was buried
in Potter’s field. Mr. Mason, the ofi‘icial
photographer at Bellevue hospital, took a
picture of Evans, which is now in the gal-
lery of the unknown dead at the morgue.

District Attorney Fitzgerald became con-
vinced from what he had heard that there
was more in the resemblance of “Wright
and Evans than mere coincidence, and
started out with the photograph of Wright
to investigate the latest clew. He first
got the official description of Evans from
the morgue. It is as follows:

“Five feet six inches tall; twenty-three
years old; curly blond hair, blue eyes,
small blond mustache, red cheeks, Roman
nose; slim built, weight 120 pounds; small
hands and feet; dressed in gray merino
underclothes and gray socks.”

Identical with “'right.

This description tallies in almost every
particular with that given of Wright by
Mr. Neu, the boarding house keeper with
whom VVIight boarded, to the Staten
Island police, which is as follows: Five
feet six inches tall, weight 125 pounds,
blue eyes, bushy flaxen hair, inclined to
curl; very slight mustache, as light or
lighter than the hair; sharp nose, thin lips,
small chin, hands and feet. Speaks with
strong English accent; efleminate manner
and voice; appears to besixteen or seven-
teen years old, dresses quietly and smokes
cigarettes. ’ ’

The district attorney got the consent of
Warden Fallon to take the photograph of
Evans away with him, and hurried in a.
carriage to the house of Mr. Neu. The in—
stant that Mr. Neu’s eye fell upon Evans’
picture he said that it was Wright.

Mr. Fitzgerald told him it was the face
of a dead man and to examine the features
in detail. Mr. Neu did so, and the more

he studied Evans’ features the more he be-'

came convinced that he was looking at
Wright’s face as it would appear after
death. \Vith this much established Mr.
Fitzgerald went to Undertaker Daly’s and
showed him the group picture. ,

“Is there any one in that picture that
you ever saw?” asked Mr. Fitzgerald.

“Yes,” replied Daly, without a moment’s
hesitation; “the little fellow is Fred Evans,
the Astor House suicide.”

“Are you sure?” inquired the district at.
tomey.

“I cannot be mistaken,” replied the un-
dertaker.

These were two strong links in the chain
which pointed to the identity of the two
men. Further proof was sought. Under—
taker Dufl" y was visited. lie looked at
\Vright’s picture and said that it was cer-
tainly Fred Evnns’. Drifi'y studied Evans’
features carefully when the body was in
his Show; So that he might remember in

 

3

case he should be called upon later to de-
scribe them by some of the dead man's
friends. The district attorney would not
leave any stone unturned, and drove to the
coroner’s office.

Several reporters who have seen Evans
at the Astor House and morgue picked
out Wright as Evans in the group photo-
graph. Coroner Levy took a long look at
the photograph before ex pressing his opin-
ion, and then said: "There is certainly a
remarkable resemblance between the two
faces. If it is simply chance it is the most
remarkable thing I ever Learrkaof.”

The Theory of Suicide.

Wherever the district attorney went con—
firmatory evidence was received that
Wright and Evans were the same person.
The last place visited was the Astor House.
Mr. Keith and several clerks and porters
all picked Wright out of the picture as
Evans. Mr. Fitzgerald did not care to go
further. He was satisfied that he had
found \Vright, and that he is now in Pot-
ter’s Field onVVard’s Island.

If it is true that lVright and Evans are
one it does not settle the question of the

murder of Ruttinger, if he was murdered, ’

but complicates it still further. Wright
apparently goes to Boston on Feb. 1. But-
tinger is the authority for this. Ruttin-
ger disappears on Feb. 2, and is next heard
of lying dead in the mud near Elliot’s
dock. Wright or Evans cuts his throat in
the Astor House on the morning of Feb. 3.

Dr. \Valser, who analyzed the contents
of the stomach of Ruttinger, is positive
that a narcotic or anaesthetic of some kind
was used before he was killed. Ruttingei
would be harmless if in a stupor, and a
child could have killed him. It would
have taken more than a child’s strength to
have lifted Ruttinger’s body into a. boat
and dropped it into the Inud bank. lVright
may have been stronger than he looked,
and with the fear that came upon him
aficr committing the terrible crime he may
have had strength enough to do what
would have been ordinarily impossible for
him.

Supposing that he killed Ruttinger, what
is more natural than‘that the face of the
dead man should haunt him? Ruttinger
had paid his board bills, and on Feb. 1 had
given him $100 to start in business with in
Boston. W'right had repaid the kindness
with murder, and the condition of the
dead man’s clothes indicated that the
motive was robbery. “Then Wright came
back to this city from Tottenville and
passed the places where he and Ruttinger
had been, what is more natural than that
the thought of suicide should enter his
mind, and when once there what else
could he do than go to the Astor House
and kill himself?

Is It an Insurance Swindle?

But here comes in another complication.
There is an insurance policy in existence
somewhere made in favor of Ruttinger’s
wife in Germany for $22,500. The policy
was issued in the Berlin office of the Equit—
able Life assurance shortly before Ruttin-
gcr came to this country. W. E. Johnson,
of this city, who has charge of the foreign
business of this company, said that the
policy had been issued last November and
the matter was being investigated by their
agent in Europe. The identity of Ruttin-
ger will have to be fully established before
this money is paid.

The supposition that the body is a
dummy to fleece the insurance compan-
ies instead of Ruttinger’s is being thor-
oughly investigated by the police. There
are facts to show that it might be the body
of Charles Schneider, the mate of the ship
Monsoon. This ship sailed March 10 from
Perth ~Amboy for Copenhagen with oil.
Henry \Vilms is the. captain and John
Ruger & Co., 60 New street, the agents.

The ship arrived here Nov. 10, unloaded,
and was ”tied up at the National storage
dock in Communipaw until Feb. 23, when
she dropped down to Perth Amboy and
was loaded. Mate Schneider was taken
sick with pleurisy in January, and was at
the Long Island hospital for a month. He
went back to the vessel at Perth Amboy,
and it is said that he left the ship ina
rowboat and did not return. The ship
sailed without him. Two men identified
Ruttinger’s body as Schneider on Thurs-
day, and several others noticed the resem-
blance on Sunday. -

The facts remain—Carl Ruttinger is
dead, murdered most strangely. Or if
not, he had a double so wonderfully like
as to deny belief. William Wright has
disappeared. “Fred Evans,” suicide, so

like him in description as to make the re—

semblance no less strong than that be-
tween Ruttinger and the Arthur Kills
corpse, lies in the Potter’s field.

If this amazing theory be true—if VVill-
iam Wright was “Fred Evans”—~the credit
for having advanced it and obtained the
proof in its support will rest with District
Attorney Fitzgerald, of Richmond county.

An Alsatian Riot.

PARIS, March 18.—A riot of quite a seri-
ous character is reported to have occurred
at Haguenau, in Alsace. An attempt was
made by the police to arrest a Frenchman
who had come to visit some relatives in
Haguenau, but who was unable to show a
passport. The Frenchman’s friends rallied
to his defense, and the clamor attracting a
crowd, the police were compelled to use
considerable violence in dispersing them.
The Frenchman was sent back across the

frontier after a brief detention, it being.

apparent that he had no improper motive
in his visit to Haguenau. Alsace is gen-
erally in a very peaceful condition, but the
same cannot be said of Lorraine, where the
people have never given up their attach-
ment for France and their determination
to be united to that country.

Captain Lyall’s llIurderer to Die.

LIVERPOOL, March 18.—Bhergwar, the
Lascar who murdered Captain Lyall, of
the ship Buckingham, from Dundee for
New York, in November last, was Tues-
day sentenced to death for the murder.
Lyall was a young Scotchman, and mak-
ing his honeymoon voyage with his young
wife, when the Lascar killed him in the
cabin of the ship. The body was buried at
sea. The vessel arrived in New York Dec.
8, and the Lascar was sent back to Eng-
land for trial. ’

Stanley Indignaut.

SAN F lANCISCO, =March 18.—H. M. Stan-
ley’s body servant, the little Zanzibar boy
called Selah, was ordered out of the Cali-
fornia theater, the usher saying “niggers”
were not admitted. H2 .remonstrated
against such treatment. This angered the
usher, who kicked the boy and threw him
down stairs. Sclali went back to the ho-
tel, aud his woeful face attracted Stanley’s
attention and he was indignant when he
learned the story.

A .l'romiueut 0d Fellow Dead.

INDIANAPOLIS, Maren 18.——John W. Mc-
Quiddy, grand instructor of the Inde-
pendent Order of Odd Fellows of this
state, died at his home in this city of
hardening of the brain. He had been ill
for many months, and his death had been
expected. He was one of the most promi-
llcutUtlrl Follows in the United States,
having been identified with the active
management of the order for many years.

ALBANY LEGISLATION.

Proceedings in the Senate and in tho
. Assembly.

ALBANY, March 18.—In the senate: Mr.
Saxton’s amendment to the ballot reform
bill was the special order, and at his re-
quest the bill was progressed, with the un-
derstanding that on third reading it should
have full discussion.

The finance committee reported Mr. Cog-
geshall’s bill appropriating $5,000 for the
promotion of dairy experiments. Mr.
Richardson’s Middletown armory bill was
also reported favorably.

Mr. Cooney’s bill, exempting real estate
aned by volunteer firemen’s associatibns
up to the sum of $15,000 from taxation, so
amended as to exempt only from local tax-
ation, was passed.

Mr. Chase’s bill to appropriate $600,000
for the continuing of work on the state
:apitol, and detailing the work to be con—
tinned and the supervision to be exercised.
by the capitol commission, was passed.
There were but two negative votes—Messrs.
Hunter and Hendrickson.

In the Assembly.

Bills passed: Mr. Chase’s, amending the
penal code relating to threatening letters;
Mr. O’Connor’s, relative to the publication
of the colonial statutes, from the founda-
tion of New York colony to the adoption
of the first state constitution.

When Mr. Hildreth’s proposed measure
to regulate the sale of ale, beer and wine
at public gardens came up, Mr. Schaaf
moved that the bill be recemmitted to the
committee on excise. After some discus-
sion the motion to recommit was lost by a.
vote of 50 yeas to 57 nays. The bill was
lost by a vote of 64 yeas to 30 Days.

“lent Suddenly Insane.

RACINE, Wis, March 18.——J. H. Farmer, :

of Milwukee, representing himself as an
agent of the New York Life Insurance
company, went suddenly insane last night
and was placed under restraint. He at-
tacked the proprietor, employes and guests
of the Merchants’ hotel and tried to de-
stroy the furniture. He had been placed
in the asylum at W'auwatosa by his
friends, and since his release had been try-
ing to collect evidence showing that he
had been sane all the time and had been
unlawfully confined.

Thirteen States \Vant Him.

WIIEELING, March 18.—John Moony, the

noted desperado, burglar and assassin,
wanted in this and twelve other states for
various crimes, was captured here by the
police while sitting in his mother’s house.
His story is a remarkable one. The scenes
of his operations lay in many cities, in-
cluding \theling, Cincinnati, St. Louis,
Pittsburg, Baltimore, Washington and
many others. In nearly a. dozen states
there are standing rewards for his capture.

 

Shot Dead by Her Lover.

DALLAS, March 18.———Mrs. Delia Close, of
Vinton. Ia., was shot and killed here by
George Martin, a horse trader. Martin
has been paying attention to her, and as
she had determined to go to her mother at
Vinton he went to her boarding house,
and after a. short conversation shot her in
the head four times. He escaped to the
Trinity river bottom, where it is believed
he has ended his own life, which he at—
tempted to take about a year ago.

A New York Town in Flames.

HIGHLAND, March 18.——A fire here de-
stroyed fourteen places of business, in-
cluding the town hall and postoflice. The
loss is placed at $90,000. Fourteen families
'wei'c rendered homeless. In making his
escape from one of the buildings a child,
aged ten years, son of Clarence Ellis, was
smothered in smoke, and ere the body
could be recovered was burned to ashes.

A London Failure Anticipated.
LONDON, March 18.—Everybody here is
prepared for the collapse of the house of
Murrietta & Co. The accountant’s report,
which is expected to be made shortly, is
said to be very unfavorable.
