THE FULLER MYSTERY.
A New Theory That a Third Party.
May Have Been Implicated.
VERY SENSATIONAL gross.
Circumstances Tending to Show That Bliss
Fuller May Have Been Shot Half an
Hour Before the Alarm “7215 Given.
' Where Is Mrs. Magoo?
NEW YORK, March 24.—An evening pa
per prints the following sensational story
today: Light is slowly breaking on the
Fuller-Magee tragedy. ' .
A reporter secured important evidence,
which tends to prove that fully half an
hour elapsed between the moment the shot
was fired and the time when Lawyer Ma-
gee rushed out in the hallway of the build-
in g at 114 Nassau street and gave the alarm.
The evidence is important, for it opens
up the new and startling inquiry as to
whether a third person fired the fatal
shot. .
There was plenty of time for such a
third person to have disappeared from
the scene of the tragedy, leaving Magee
alone to face the terrible consequences of
the crime. . , , '
It may also account for Lawyer Magee’s
peculiar behavior since his incarceration
in the Tombs. His evident nonchalance
and self assurance, as well as his persist-
ent statements that he is innocent, may b1
well founded, yet he may know who did
commit the crime.
Upon the night of the tragedy the wid
owed mother of Miss Fuller had arranged
the family dinner for 6 o’clock. Miss Fuller
had expected to be at her home, at 633 East
One Hundred and Thirty-ninth'street, at
that hour, and her family awaited 1191
coming. At atew minutes past 6 o’clock
they sat down to dinner, thinking the girl
would soon be with them.
\thn the Body “'95 Found.
At best it would require a full hour for
Miss Fuller to reach her home in East On!
Hundred and Thirty-ninth street from the
office at 114 Nassau street. In order to join
her relatives at dinner at 6 o’clock, as had
been agreed upon, she must necessarily
have left Lawyer Mullen’s office at t
o’clock—not later. When her body was
found by Policeman McCabe, who Was
summoned from in front of the building
in Nassau street, it was a quarter before 6
o’clock. The young woman had on her
hat and cloak and one glove and was no
doubt ready to leave the office for home
when the fatal shot was fired. .
The elevator in the building stopped
promptly at 5:30 p. m., and Magee at that
time had not given the alarm.
Miss Smith, a typewriter employed in
the office of \V. E. Scott, whohas his office
in room 215, on the same floor, told a‘re-
porter this morning that she put on her
things to go home at 5:30, and when she
walked down the stairs and glanced at the
clock in the lower hallway it was 26 min:
utes of 6. Magee had not given any alarm
at that time.
L. \V. Scarles, whose office is in room
214, on the same floor where the tragedy
occurred, says he left his office for the day
at 5:40 p. m. and walked down the stairs,
the elevator having stopped running before
this time. Magee had not given the alarm.
Policeman McCabe refreshed his mem-
ory this morning and said to a reporter:
“It was 10 or 15 minutes to 6 o’clock when
the alarm was given by Magee. I was
standing directly in front of the building '
and hastened up stairs. I found Magee »
and two other men there.”
llIiss Fuller Lingered.
Miss Fuller did not die immediately'
Even after the hospital ambulance ar-
rived she was still breathing, and her heart
did not cease its action, according to the
surgeon, until about 6:20 o’clock. _' . - i i
The office boy employed by \Villiam-vH.
Davis, whose rooms are next to thatpf
Lawyer Mullen, said be locked the office
and locked the doors at 5:05 o’clock. When
asked what he knew about a quarrel in
the office next door, or whether he heard
loud talking, he replied: “I have nothing
to say. I am not allowed to talk about
the case.” The lad also refused to give'h'is
name.
The police have undoubtedly secured im-
portant testimony in room 219, whichis
occupied by the Harvard Publishing com-
pany, of which a man named G. G. Meinel
is manager. Mr. Meinel and his partner
Were in their office when Magee rushed
out into the hall and gave the alarm;
Lawyer John F. Reilly, whose office is on
the next floor above that of Mullen’s, said
, to a reporter that a. man from Meinel’s of»
fice was the stranger who went across the
street after a. glass of liquor for Miss Fuller.
Neither Meinel nor his partner would
talk further than to admit their presence
in their office when Magee gave the alarm
Frank Danninger, or “Brannigan,” ashe
has been called, the office boy, who was,
among the first to answer Magee’s call for
assistance, stated that it might have been
anywhere between 5:30 o’clock and 6
o’clock when Magce appeared in the hall.
He could not swear as to the exact time.
The boy has been subpoenaed to appear at
the coroner’s inquest and declines to say
anything more about the case.
J. Frank Kiernan, whose office is on the
floor above, directly over the room where
the shooting occurred. is the only witness
“lib: heard anything that resembled a pistol
s o .
Kiernan's Diaphanous Theory.
His idea is that a crack or tap on the
steam pipe running up and through his
office was the noise occasioned by the bul-
let striking the steam pipe in Mullenls of-
fice below. He says this noise occurred a
few minutes before Magee rushed into the
hall for assistance. -
Considering the fact that Nassau street
is narrow and noisy, and that the steam
pipe in Kiernan’s room could have snapped
0r cracked from pressure or a dozen other
causes, his evidence is very insufficient
and almost worthless in a double sense.
The fatal shot could have, been fired at
any time between 5:15 and 5:45, a. full half
hour, and in this long interval before Ma

gee gave‘ the alarm many things could
have happened.
Mrs. Magee, or Mount, is still among the
missing, and the opinion is gaining ground
that the divorced wife of the lawyer had
knowledge of the crime or at least the cir-
cumstances leading up to it, which she ev-
idently desires to conceal. She has not
been . seen since Monday, and even the
shrewd .sleuths of the police department
have been unable to loCate her.
IVhen Magee'was taken to the Oak street
station on the night of the tragedy, he
made a statement to Detective Webb. _'
This statement was published in all the
newspapers on Sunday morning and is
he made this posi-
tive assertion: ,
“I have known Miss Fuller for 8%
years.” , .
Magee, therefore, was acquainted with
her in October,'1890. ' '
Miss Fuller had been in Lawyer Mul-
len’s employ for three years, or since
I March, 1891.
Magee has been in Mullen’s employ fora
year and a. half,'or since October, .1892.
The divorce was granted to Mrs. Teresa
Magee from Lawyer Magee on April 6,
1891, or six months after Magee says he
met Miss Fuller.
A Possibility Suggested.
In 1891 Magee was practicing law and
selling real estate in Brooklyn. Is it pos-
sible that he and Miss Fuller were friends
before Mrs. Magee secured her divorce?
Magee’s own statement, made to Detective
Webb, promises to solve in a certain ex-
tent the' 3% years’ acquaintance existing
between him and the dead girl. '
This explains how'Miss Fuller happened
to know of Magee’s divorce and of his
married life. If the police have not solved
the problem, there is work to be done.
The mystery of the box of cartridges has
been cleared away as a result of the publi
cation on X’Vednesday of ths'xlealer’s pri,
vate marks found on the cartridge box.
E. A. Briggs, hardware dealer 'of 210
West --O_ne Hundred and Txventy-fifth
street, recognizes the private marks on the
box of Cartridges as the same marks used
by him. Lawyer Magee lives at 54 “feet
One -iHundred and Twenty—sixth street,
three blocks from Mr. Briggs’ store.
Magee boarded the elevated train every.
morning at the One Hundred and Twenty-
fifth street station, near Briggs’ store. It
is very evidentgtherefore, that Magee pur-
chased the box of cartridges near his home
on his way to the office.
RIOTING IN SANTANDER.
The Sight of a Funeral Procession Elli-age.
' the Populate. ,
SANTANDER, March._2-l;——The authorities
decided that the funeral of the victims
should be held at once, and the bodies were
hurriedly prepared .for burial. Some of
the victims were} so horribly mangled that
it was impossible to identify them. .
, Large crowds gathered along the streets
.through whichtthe bodies ‘of the victims
were conveyed .on the wayto the cemetery.
It was evident. that it would take but a
spark to..light:into flame the repressed
fury of thepopulace. The spark was fur-
nished by. the appearanée of the hearses
- conveying the dead. '
As though they acted uponsome prear-
ranged signal, the 'crowd began to riot,
and for a time it looked as though the city
wouldbe‘given over to mob violence. The
authorities, however, were prepared for an
outbreak, and soon a strong force of Sol—
diery Was at the scene. Orders were given
to clear the streets, and the cavalry rode
down on the howling, ’cursing and fighting
mob. There was little resistance. The
rioters fled almost too man when they
saw the. gleaming sabcrs’_'of the cavalry--
men. Disturbances at other-points along
the route of the funeral cortege were
' 'quickly quelle'd,,and the bodies were in-
terred'without further trouble.

struggle, though he had a rifle and 50
round of ammunition by his side. He was
' taken to Fremont this evening. but will
not be hung, as the state supreme court
has granted a stay.

COUNTRY WITHOUT GOVERNRIENT.
English Sailors Are Still Keeping the Peace
at Blueflelrls. _
NEW ORLEANS, March 24.——The condition
of afiairs in Bluefields. Nicaragua, is as
unsettled as ever. The English are still in
control of the police protection of the city
and-are, in fact, in practical control of the
entire reservation. Lacayo remains at
Bluefields and refuses to vacate, but his
position is not recognized, and the Amer-
icans continue to ignore his demand upon
them for payment of the shipping dues. -
The steamship William G. Howes of the
Southern Pacific line arrived from the
southern seaport town with the latest
news. The committee of three N icara-
guans and two natives of New Orleans
which was appointed to arrange some pro-
visional government had held several
meetings, but having come to no agree—
ment disbanded. There now seems to be
no attempt whatever to bring about a
peaceful government. '
The commander of the Cleopatra, besides
being the commander of the police protec-
tion of the city, has assumed control of
the government to a certain extent, and
this is all-the government there is in the
city. Commissioner Lacayo remains in
the cit and refuses to go out of the
boundaries of the reservation.
. On Friday last the British battleship
Blake came in sight of the bluffs off Blue-
fields, and during the afternoon came to
anchor near the Cleopatra This vessel is
expected to remain near her present an-
chorage, and ' the Cleopatra will start for
the northern seas.
Several days ago Lacayo received a letter
from the president of Nicaragua instruct—
ing the commissioner to place in the streets
of Bluefields 50 armed men to act as a pa-
trol and 1,000 men would be sent as re-en-
forcements if they were wanted. This let-
ter was shown to the commander of the
Cleopatra, and Lacayo was advised that if
he wished to preserve peace in the reserva-
tion to decline to receive the men and to
dismiss those troops who still hung around
Bluefields. Lacayo took this advice.
ROBBED ON A TRAIN.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. M., March 24.——Perry
Brown, one of the most prominent citizens
of’this place, took the Santa Fe train last
evening for some point in Texas, having
with him considerable money.
Just outside the city Mr. Brown started
from the smoking car to the sleeper, and
on the platform was assaulted by four
men, who went through his pockets and
then threw him headforemost between
the cars and jumped off themselves. The
skirt of his overcoat caught on the step
and prevented him from being killed, but
his right arm below the elbow was cut 01!.
When Mr. Brown recovered, he walked
back to town. '
