A DOCTORS STRANGE TALE.
Says He Was Followed and Assaulted
by Toughs.
BOSTON, June 29.—A special from Mon-
treal says that Dr. J. R. Robinson, a well
known physician of Boston, attempted
suicide ina cell at the police station by
opening a vein in his arm. At l2 0 ClOCk
p. m. Dr. Robinson entered police head-
quarters and stated that he had been at-
tacked by three men
tion. As the doctor had a large amount
of money in his possession the officer’on
duty, thinking he was intoxicated,_ locked
him up for safe keeping. On melting the
doctor’s cell in the morning he was found
lying semi-conscious with a bad .
his forearm, which it is supposed he 1n-
flicted with a pocket knife. A surgeon
was summoned and the wounded man
uickl .— recovered. _
qIn the recorder’s court Dr. Robinson
stated that he had not attempted suICIde,
but that the wound in his arm had been
made by one of the men who had assaulted
him, and had simply reopened during the
night. He said that he belonged in Phila-
delphia, but resided in Bostonawhere he
had a large practice. While making a pur-
chase in a store he showed some money
and was followed by three men and as-
saulted. The court evidently believed the
doctor, but held him until communication
could be had with Boston. Search in this
city fails to reveal the stranger’s identity.

With Her Clothing on Fire Mrs. Has- '
lctt Leaps from a Window.
A COACHMAN SAW HER I'ALI
She Was Alone in a. Room on the Fourth
Floor‘YVhen‘ the Accident Happened.
V i, Assistance Arrived Too Late
to "Be of Any Help. \
BROOKLYN, June 29.—Mrs. Elizabeth M
Haslett,wife of a. retired. merchant living
at 138 Remsen street, this city, was burned
to death. She was cleaning the servants
rooms, on. the fourth floor .of the house
and Was using a patent insect destroying
fluid. .In Some mysterious manner he]
clothing caught fire, and both windows '01
the rOOm being open' the blaze Was fanned
by the draught, and in a. moment she wax
enveloped in flames from head to foot.
» FelI‘Twenty Feet. '
Agonized by the pain Mrs. Hasletl
screamed loudly for help and ran to the
window. Some of the girls in the base-
ment heard Mrs. Haslett’s cries,‘ but gave
them no attention, thinking they came
from outside the house. The windows on
the fourth floor are only half the ordinary
size. The lower sash when pushed up only
leaves an Open space of about eighteen
inches square.
Through this opening Mrs. Haslett, wit]:
nearly all her clothing burned from he]
body, squeezed herself. She fell upon the
roof of an extension which juts out from
the third floor. The distance to the win-
dow from this roof is about twenty feet.
Mrs. Haslett struck on her side and head.
The. Coachman to the Rosbue.
, In the rear of the houses on Remsen
street a. short alley runs from Henry street
almost to Clinton street. On one side is a
James Steiner, a coach-
man employed by General John B. Wood-
ward, was standing at the door of the
stable, which is opposite the rear of the
house occupied by-Mr. Haslett, when Mrs.
Haslett appeared at the window with her
clothing ablaze.
Horrified at the sight he stood complete-
ly paralyzed until the woman dropped
upon the extension roof. Then the terri-
ble spell was broken and he dashed down
the alley and around into Remsen street.
Meanwhile Annie Dillon, one of the Has;
lett servants, had started up stairs to see ii
the screams came from the house. She
had just reached the room in which Mrs. ‘
Haslett had been working, finding it, tc
her surprise, unoccupied and filled with
smoke, when there was a violent ringing
of the front bell. One of the other girls‘
went to the door and admitted Steiner,
who pushed her aside and dashed upstairs
to the third floor and out upon the exten
s10n. .
All Her Clothing Burned 011'.
Mrs. Haslett was lying face down upon
the roof. Every bit of clothing was burned
from her body except her shoes. Steinei
carried her into the house and placed her
onabed. The three girls were sent for
physicians. Drs. Spier, Briggs and Par-
rish hastened to the scene. One‘of the
girls met Patrolman Michael Leahy, of the
First precinct, and he returned to the house
with her. .
Her Injuries Fatal.
As soon as the doctors saw Mrs. Haslett
they were convinced that her injuries
would prove fatal. Her entire body was
badly burned and on her head was a cut
caused by the fall. Even her face was
burned and the blood was running down
over it. The doctors dressed the awful
wounds as best they could.
Mrs. Haslett was unconscious when
Steiner reached her and she died while the
doctors were still working over her. Just
before she breathed her last her husband,
Samuel E. Haslett, reached the house.
He was completely overcome when he
learned of the accident. Mrs. Haslett died
shortly before 5 o’clock. Dr. Speir said
that although she might have received in-
ternal injuries from her fall, in his opinion
the immediate cause of death was the
burns.
The Fatal Fluid.
Policeman Leahy went to the room
where Mrs. Haslett had been at work. He
found on the floor a bottle partly filled
with a liquid insect exterminator. The
stuff smelled strongly of benzine. _
All the bed clothing had been removed
from the bed and piled Oii chairs. The
bed was scorched, as was the side and end
of the bureau, which stood near the head
of the bed. Lcahy could find no trace of
a'match on the floor. There was a small
heap of ashes under the bed. There seemed
to be no explanation of the fire.
The room is very low studded and dark.
Mrs. Haslett may have lighted a match
anda sudden draught may have blown
her skirts into the blaze. The small pile
of\ashes beneath the bed suggests that she
might have lighted a piece of paper from
which her clothing took fire.
The servant girls, Maria Gough, Annie
Dillon and Bridget Reynolds, think that
the fire was caused by the use of the insect
fluid. They think Mrs. Haslett wet some
parts of the bedstead with the fluid and
then lighted a match to examine the bed,
the fluid igniting from the match. This
theory is borne out by the scorching of the
bed and bureau.
Mrs. Haslett was forty-seven years old
and was one of the most prominent resi-
dents of the Heights. Her husband in
wealthy. He is a brother of Dr. Audley
‘ Ha slett.
‘ Mrs. Haslett was the daughter of Dr.
Sullivan Thorne, at one time president of
the Brooklyn board of education.

Cigar Packers Didn’t Show Up.
NEW YORK, June 29.—The cigar packers

pected, that 4,000 packers would attend,
but onlyabout fifty presented themselves
