FDADS A CONSPIRACY
Mrs. Rotzall’s Son Leit a Large Sum
' by an 011016. 3 '
A MYSTERIOUS STRANGEB
After Saying Her Husband“ Relatives
were ITrying to Withheld the Boy’s
Share He Carries Away. 3 Let-
ter—No Explanation Given.
zall, a preposSessing and comely young
vvidowdiving at 207 Livingstone street, re;
cently received information'that a wealthy
uncle Of her late husband had died In Ger-
many, leaving an estate of 75, 000 marks,
one—fourth of which was bequeathed to
her. son, her only child.
Fears :1 Conspiracy.
N ow Mrs. Rotzall believes that she is .a
victim of a conspiracy to defraud her son
frOm Chief of Police Campbell.
Rotzall, the husband of Mrs. Rotzall, was
a civil engineer, and died about threeyears
ago. in Mexico. He was connected with
wealthy and influential families in Ger-
-.many Mrs. Rotzall, who is an English
wOman, has never met any of her hus-
band’s relatives, but since his death has
corresponded at lengthy intervals with 21.
lives in Germany.
Her Son and Heir.
On June 8 last she received a. letter from
a man signing himself as Carl Merton, in-
forming her of the-demise of her husband’s
wealthy uncle, and anncuncing that hiar
son' was an heir under the will to one-
fourth of the estate. .
Merton gave his address as 163 Avenue
A, New York. Mrs. Rotzall wrote to him
to call upon her, and in compliance with
her request he visited her. He told her
that he was a civil engineer, but that he
recently returned froma visit to Germany,
where he learned of the bequest that had
been left her child, adding that he thought
" her husband’s relatives were trying to
withhold the money from her.
The Missing Letter.
He declared that hewas acquainted with
Mr. Rotzall, her husband, and also knew
many of his German relatives. He prom-
ised to call again, and suggested some
method by which she could collect the
legacy. After he had gone Mrs. Rotzall
missed the letter that Merton had sent
her announcing the fact that her son was
an heir. She came to the conclusion that
Merton had taken it.
She called upon him at the address he
had given, but failed in-finding him. The
matter was then placed in the hands of
the police and Merton was arrested at 90
Fourth avenue. He was married on last
Wednesday, and his buxom little German
wife nearly fainted when the detectives
took him away to Brooklyn. He is, about
thirty-five years old, well educated and
dresses well. When arraigned before Police
Justice Walsh he admitted taking the let-
ter, but offered no explanation for doing
so. He was remanded for examination on
Tuesday next. ~ -
. DR. SARA C. SEWARD DEAD.
For Seventeen Years a Medical Mission-
ary in India.
NEW YORK, June 22. ——Dr. Sara C. Seward,
medical missionary to India, died of cholera
a't Allahabad' In that country on June 15.
Miss Seward was born in Florida, N. Y,
in 1833. She was a niece of; William H.
Seward, secretary of state under Lincoln.
She graduated from the TrOy Female
seminary, and in 1868 began the study of
medicine at the Woman’s Medical college
in Philadelphia, where she graduated in
1870.
In 1871 she left New York for India, where
she had since practiced among the women,
whom no male practitioner is allowed to
see. She established her headquarters at
Allahabad, where she founded a dispensary
under the contrOl of the British authorities.
On her return here in 1889 she raised suffi-
cient funds for a. new dispensary, at which
institution during 1890 an average of forty-
four patients a day were treated. FOr
seventeen years she worked In connection
With the Presbyterian board of foreign
missions.
Still More Discrepancies.
PHILADELPHIA, June 22.—It. has, been
learned that the other discrepancies ‘to
which the city controller referred in his
reply to Attorney General Hensel are fur-
ther embezzelments of $224, 000 state funds
by Bardsley. This money was the share
of the city in the personal taxes collected
for the state during 1889 and 1890. Much
litigation between the state and city will
follow over this matter. It was also
learned that the books Of the Keystone
bank do not show what has become of the
$1,000,000 that Bardsley had deposited
there.
Heavy Sentence for Small Booty.
'SAN ANTONIO, Tex, June 22. —-John
Quesada, alias John Glanton, a relative of
some of the most prominent Spanish fam-
ilies in southern Texas and Mexico, has
.been sentenced to fifteen years’ 1mpr1son-_
ment at hard labor for holding up a clerk
in the San Antonio' Ice factory and robbing
him Of seventeen dollars. The arrest, eon-
viction and sentence' 1s one of the quickest '-
in the history of Texas.
_ Sir John Gorst Resigns.
DUBLIN, June 22. —The Express says that
Sir John Gorst, political secretary of the
India ofl‘ice, has tendered his resignation.
It is believed here that should this prove
correct, the Manipur investigation 'and
subsequent developments may be discov-
ered to have furnished the cause for Sir
J olm's action.
Bicyclists on Parade.
BROOKLYN, June 22.—The bicycle clubs

WHAT SENOR‘ BODIERO SAYS.
If Any 'DIember of Congress Is Guilty
. .He Will Be Punished.
WASHINGTON, June 22. —Senor Romero,
'the Mexican minister to this country, was
asked by a United Press reporter what he
had to say in reference to the dispatch
frOm Indianapolis to the eifect- that Gen--
eral Sturm claimed to have paid $100, 000
to members Of the Mexican congress and
other officials to secure payment of a large
claim he held against the Mexican gOvern-
~ment. Mr. Romero said that as the.
V charges came second hand it was but fair
to get a. direct statement of the facts from
General Sturm himself before forming any
opinion thereon. Mr. Romero bet no
doubt, however, that both the legislative
and executive branches of the Mexican
government would make the most rigid
investigation into the matter, and should
official be found guilty or implicated
in ribery he would be severely punished
without regard to his position Or standing. »
Mr. Romero remarked, however, that on
the face of Mr. Henderson’s statement it
appeared that General Sturm could not
have bribed any member of the Mexican
congress for the simple reason that con-
gress had nothing to do with the matter, it
being within the exclusive province of the
executive. He feels sure that his govern-
ment will not allow this matter to rest,
and‘that we shall hear from it, and that
‘Stannard’s' Statue Unveiled. '
BURLINGTON, Vt., June 22. —’I‘he unveil-
ing of the bronze statue of Major General
George Stannard, United States volun-
teers, took place in Lake View cemetery

sented the statue on behalf of the trustees
and it was accepted on behalf of the family}
by Colonel E. G. Benedict. The statue was

Among those present were Governor
Page, Lieutenant Governor Fletcher, Com-
mander-iu—Chief Veazey, of. the Grand

sional delegation.
Harrison Invited to the Congress.
ATLANTIC CITY, June 22.—Dr. Charles
Gatchell, of Ann Arbor, Mich.. opened this
morning’s session of the Homeopathic con—
gress with the delivery of an interesting
essay on “The Influence of Homeopathy on
Recent Medical ' Literature and Practice. ’-’
Dr. Tykinne, of Paterson, N. J., took the
floor and stated that in view of the fact
that President Harrison is now at Cape
May the congress invite him to be present
at the banquet on Monday evening, and
that Dr: Gardner, his physician, who is at-
tending the congress, be appointed to con-
vey the invitation to the president. The
resolution was immediately favorably re-
ported on by the committee on resolutions.
51166 the Wrong Man.
CINCINNATI, June 22.—Daniel Monahau,
arailroad switchman, aged thirty years,
' who lives with his wife and two children
at 7 2 Oehler street, was fatally shot by Joe
Delaney in Bernhardt’s saloon, corner of
Gist street and Dalton avenue. Delaney
went into the saloon in search of Joe How-
ard, a brother of Police Sergeant Howard,
who, it is alleged, had made disparaging
remarks about Delaney’s sister. Delaney
saw Monahan in a crowd, mistook him for
Howard, and fired at him. Delaney fled,
andhas not yet been caught.
The Elliott Trial.
COLUMBUS, 0., June m.—Testimony in
the Elliot/t murder trial had to do mainly
with what occurred in the hat store when
Osborn received the fatal shot. McDonald,
proprietor of the store, testified to shot
marks indicating that Patrick J. Elliott
fired at Osborn as he entered the door.
This corroborates many witnesses who
said that Patrick J. Elliott pursued Os-
born into the store, and breaks down the
defenee’s theory that Patrick J. Elliott
thought he was fatally wounded and was
.seeking a refuge.
The Half Holiday Was Observed.
PHILADELPHIA, June 22.—The new half
holiday law passed by the last session of
the legislature was observed for the first
time Saturday. The law provides that

trust companies, brokers’ Offices and many
mercantile and other business houses

house also closed at noon, except for the

Convicted on Second Trial.
SARATOGA, June 22.—The jury in the
second trial of Patrick Hughes, of Helena,
Mon, charged with the murder of old
man Churchill, near Schuylerville, last
November, brought in a verdict of guilty
of manslaughter in the second degree. The
trial has been in progress at Ballston for
the past five days. On the first trial the
.j'ury disagreed. The judge sentenced
Hughes to nine years and six months’ 1m-
prisonment.
Ex-Senator llIcDonald’s Condition.
INDIANAPOLIS, June 22.—Ex-Senator Mc-
Donald had a reasonably quiet day, but the
unfavorable symptoms of several days ago
appeared again. His stomach refuses all
nourishment, and the vomiting was at-
tended with more or less pain. He is much
weaker in consequence. “He may live a
week or he may die in a day or two,” said
Dr. Runnels, “but it is very certain he can-
not get‘ well.”

DDLLID DAVIS [S DEAD.
The Adopted Daughter of a Theatri-
' cal Manager Found Drowned.
A'GIRL’S SAD LIFE HISTORY.
,Found in Far Away Australia and Cast
Adrift in This Country by Her
Foster Father—Her Cruel
Parent Criticised.
NEW YORK, June 22.—Deserted by a. foe-1
t-er father and tired of struggling unaided
for an honest livelihood prettyDollie Davis,
.an adopted daughter: of J. Charles Davis,
the theatrical manager, Some time during
Friday night leaped from the dock at
Croton Landing into the Hudson river
and was droWned.
Hundreds Gazed Upon the Suicide.
. .It was not until many hours after the
deed had been accomplished that it was'
discovered, and many more passed before
the identity of the girl and her pathetic
story became known. Then all West-
chester county rang with the tale, and
hundreds flocked to the little hamlet by
the river to gaze upon the beautiful suicide.
The Trinkets Discovered.
When Philip Snell, whose brickyards
front the Hudson, stepped upon the Croton
dock Saturday morning he discovered
lying upon it a. woman’s small sailor hat
of white straw. In it were a bit of rib-
bon, a lead pencil and sixty-five cents.
Snell then looked just beyond the pier,
and the presence of the articles named was,
explained. '
Her Body Hung on a. Spike.
Against one of the piles, and caught
there by a spike, hung the lifeless body of
a young woman, whose hair was as black
as coal, whose eyes were dark brown,
whose clear cut features were made the
more attractive by a dark olive complexion.
' Her Last- Message.
Snell seized a rake that lay at hand,
hooked it firmly in the dress, and succeeded
in bringing the body to the dock floor.
Coroner Sutton, of Peekskill, was notified,
and toward noon he arrived. On disrobing
the corpse a small perfumery bottle was
found pinned to the skirt pocket. Within
the tightly corked vial was the following
touching message:
I am sick and tired of life, and if my body'is
found I would like it to be buried in the Terry-
town cemetery. M. E. J.
These lines were written with ink, in a
firm but delicate hand. They indicated
that the writer was at least fairly educat-
ed. Dr. C. P. Byington, after an examina
tion of the body, expressed the opinion
that it had been in the water at least
twelve hours. He believed it to be a case
of deliberate suicide.
Rigid inquiry by' the coroner developed
the fact that the girl stepped from the
New York Central train arriving at 9:30
o’clock the previous evening. Without a
moment’s delay she turned and walked
rapidly down the track in the direction of
the wharf, over a quarter of a mile away.
A man by the name of Lyons claims to
have seen her in the vicinity of the dock a
half hour later. He did not dream of her
purpose, however. It is presumed that
the fatal leap was taken just after' 10
o’clock.
Without waiting for more than a. super-
ficial investigation Coroner Sutton called
an inquest, to be held Sunday, and the
body was embalmed at White’s undertak-
ing establishment.
Her Sud Life History.
During the afternoon Thomas Fairchild,
the baggage master at Tarrytown, and
Police Officer Smith, of the same place,
visited Croton and identified the remains
as those of. Miss Dollie Davis, adopted
daughter of J. Charles Davis, and Victoria.
Loftus, the burlesque actress, who is buried
at Tarrytown. They could not explain
why the initials, M. E. J., were appended
to the note of farewell, except upon the
theory that the poor girl desired toconceal
her identity.
The fact was developed that Miss Davis,
about three months ago, left a variety
company with which she was playing small
parts and which had gone under. She
sought refuge with friends she had made
in Tarrytown. Miss Davis first stopped
with Mr. and Mrs John Dwyer.
Cast Out by Her Foster Father.
She complained to them that imme-
diately after her mother’s death her foster
father had turned her adrift. Since then
he had absolutely refused to support or
aid her in any way. She said she had been
a member of Barry & Fay’s cambination
when it was playing in Boston.
Mr. Dwyer was extremely severe in his
criticism of the actress’ foster father for
refusing her aid. So was Thomas Fair-
child, with whom Dollie stopped up to
within a few days of her death. He scouted
the idea expressed by Dr. Byington that
Dollie exhibited indications of having been
a mother.
“N o purer girl ever breathed,” exclaimed
Mr. Fairchild when the suggestion of be-
trayal was made, “and everybody in Tar-
rytown' knows it.”
Adopted in Australia.
