made day before yesterday—-
one-dollar Shirt Waists for 59
gents—was remarkable in the
number of buyers it brought
IMMEDIATELY. _We believe it
to be one of the most phe-
nomenal sales in the annals
of trade in this city, in that
line. It is no more than fair,
therefore, that we repeat the
opportunity for the benefit of
those who failed to secure any
portion of the much coveted
bargain.
We have placed on sale
another lot, equal~ value to
the first line, at the same as-
tonishing price—59 cents. If
that doesn’t create a pleasant
surprise we shall be greatly
mistaken.
Now comes a cheerful Offer-
ing in Neckwear—tecks, 44in
hands, bows and club house
ties; happiest creations of the
makers’ art—regular 50 cent
goods, | for 25 cents. The >
Main St. window has been
specially arranged to give an
idea of what they are, and to
assist you in your conclusions
before you buy.
The largest line of Ging-

what they say down stairs in

everything from a pin head

A Sensational Turn Given to the Hen-
ry Murder Mystery.
WALTER ABANDONS POLICE.
He Testifies to Many Facts Which Favor
the Presumption of Innocence of
His. Brother William, “7110 Has
Been Called the Bad $01).
NEW YORK, July 16.—After a month of
waiting the police of Brooklyn, who have
been working every possible plan to prove
that William Henry, the alleged wayward
son of Old Miser Chaflos W. Henry, was
guilty of murdering his father, were ready
today to go on with the examination in
the Myrtle Avenue police court.
William Henry was brought down from
the Raymond Street jail shortly before 9
o’clock and put down stairs with a host of
other prisoners. As he stopped from the
van he looked cool and unconcerned, so
much so that all ideas that he would con-
fess or had confessed quickly vanished
from the minds of all who saw him. He
was neatly dressed and cleanly shaven
save for the mustache. which was careful-
ly combed and trimmed.
The first to arrive on the part of the
prosecution were Captain Kit-zcr of the
De Kalb Avenue station and his two ward
detectives, Dclohanty and Brady. They
were followed almost immediately by Pro-
fessor Eaton, the chemist who made an
examination of the shirt taken from the
“bad son” the morning after he surren-
dered to the police.
The chemist was ready to swear that the
stains found on the shirt were made by
human blood, but whether or not it was
the blood of the murdered man he could
not of course determine.
On this shirt the police rely for a strong
link in the chain of circumstantial ovi-
donce which they have been welding.
Walter Henry, the “good son,” came
into the courtroom at 9:45 o’clock, the
same grin on his face that has been so of-

WALTER HENRY, THE GOOD SON.
ten described. Lawyer Backus came in
with him, and behind were two clerks car-
rying cameras, photographs and other ar-
ticles upon which he hopes to secure Wil-
liam’s acquittal.
The fact then developed that since the
police gave up possession of the house, 95
South Portland avenue, where the old
miser’s body was found, the lawyer has
had photographs taken of almost every-
thing in the house. Every blood stained
mark was pictured in the camera and on-
larged.
Backus Expects Acquittal.
Before the case was called Mr. Backus
said he was confident that his client would
be acquitted as a result of tho examina-
tion. In this belief he was joined by Mor-
rison Hoyt, the cousin of the two Henry
boys, who first secured the lawyer for the
defense. ,
Tho courtroom filled up rapidly, and by
10 o’clock there was not a vacant seat.
The aisles were also-crowded, a number of
women being conspicuous. William Hon-
ry, the accused, had not at that time been
brought up from the pen down stairs, so
the crowd contented itself by gazing
steadily at “good son” Walter, who did
not at all seem to mind the attention.
Walter Henry’s conduct has given the
police considerable of a setback. He was,
they declare, the first man to point the
finger of suspicion at his brother, but aft—
er thc latter surrendered he turned com-
pletely around 'and became William’s
friend. Both brothers united in having
Walter appointed administrator of his fa-
ther’s estate, and now the money for
which apparently the old man was mur-
dered will be used for the defense of his
son.
There was a long delay, waiting for the
district attorney, who did not put in an
appearance until 10 :30 o’clock. .Ten min-
utes later William Henry was brought up
from the pen, and the examination was
ready to begin.
Coroner Keno, Deputy Coroner Shepard,
who had made the autopsy, and Detective
Bagnarollo were then in the courtroom,
and J usticc Haggcrty was 011 the bench.
Dr. Shepard was called as the first wit-
ness to prove the result of the autopsy on
the old man’s body and the number of
wounds inflicted—18 altogether—on the
old man’s head. His testimony was al-
most similar to that given at the time of
the inquest.
Lawyer Backus cross examined at great
length regarding the nature of the wounds
in the miser’s head. Dr. Shepard repeated
his belief that death ensued within 15
minutes after the Old man was attacked,
and that the murderer must have been
splashed with blood.- The ex found in the
house, he thought, was not the weapon
used in the crime.
The Famous Letter Introduced.
Coroner Keno told of his visit to the
miscr's house and the finding of the body;
'\
; took the stand.
,.
Th‘e’witncs's had found three keys and a
sum Of money in the man’s clothing. De-
,tective Delehantyrnd three or four police-
men had been with' him. They found no
evidence that any‘gone had tried to force
an entrance into the house.
Mr. Ridgway then produced the famous
letter written by the, old miser to his son
Charles, in which he feared William would
take his life. . . I -
The district attorney asked the cOroner
if he had received it from Walter. Mr.
Backus objected, but the question was al-
lowed, und, the witness said Walter had
given him the letter.
Policeman William J. Walsh, who ac~
companied Walter Henry to the miser’s
house the day the old man’s early was
found, was the next witness.
The policeman ‘hen told the story of
ich thcy_entered the
house, Walter get ng in through one of
the front windo Cs, substantially as he
' told it at the inquest. It was at that time
that Walter said to him:
“This is William’s work.”
The witness, however, was not allowed
to tell anything of {this in consequence of
Lawyer Backus’ objections.
Walter Henry, he “good son,” then
e spoke in a. quick but
cold voice and looked a trifle pale.
“I last saw my father alive at 5:30‘
o’clock on the Wednesday night before his
body was found,” said he.
“We spoke toget‘ or some time. I called
again at the same our on' Thursday, but
the place was 10 ed. I went to my
home in Flatbush. I came back again to
'my father’s house t 8:30:0’clock and tried
to get in by repeat (1 ringing.
“I got no respon c, and then looking up
at the house Ifoilnd the windows dark
save one, the sash Of which was partially
down. Then I we t home again.”
The witness then said he called again
at the Portland nv Inue house at 8:30 the
next morning (Fl-flay) and again failed to .
get in. At 2:30 t
on the police. wi.
“Why did you 'l-lt from 8 o’clock ‘ in
the morning until 2:30 in the afternoon
before calling on the police?”
“Well, I did not think it strange that
he should be absent. He was in the habit
of going out every day.”
In \Villlam’s Favor.
Having denied that he had been in the
house from 5:30 o’clock Wednesday night
.until the police got there, he was shown
the famous letter. Having identified it
and stating that he got it from his father
on that Wednesday night, Mr. Ridgway
asked: .
“Did your brother William call upon
you that Wednesday night?”
“Yes.”
“Did he ask you to join in an applica-
tion to have your father declared insane?”
“He did not. He spoke about some
proceedings about to be undertaken on
my mother’s behalf, looking toward a
separation. ”
“Did not your brother William want
t afternoon he called
,you to join with him so that the two of.
you could divide up the old man’s prop-
erty?”
“No, sir, he did not.”
Mr. Ridgway began to look tired. Wal-
tor had gone back on the police. He was
particularly savage when Walter, in reply
to further questions, said he had never
seen his father take money from the much
talked Of closet.
Mr. Backus started off on a. tack that
promises sensational developments. It was
about the other son of the miser, Charles
Henry, who is supposed to be an inmate
of Ward’s Island Insane asylum.
The lawyer produced a letter, which
Walter admitted having received on July
5. It was from his brother Charles. The
letter was marked for identification, but
the lawyer would not read it at that time.
It was also brought out that Mis. Henry
had begun proceedings for a separation
from her husband as far back as 1873 and
that William had always boon her cham-
pion.
Mr. Bidgway then offered to read the
letter, and Mr. Backus contended that
unless the letter itself was shown to Wil-
liam, and that the latter was aware of all
his father’s charges, they could not be
used against him.
Mr. Ridgway attacked Walter for his
modified statements. He said he would
show that William Henry wanted to put
his father out of the way to secure his fa-
ther’s property. .
“And when I have got through with
him I hope to weave a chain of evidence
against him,” pointing to Walter. “We
Will get it all out yet.”
Lawyer Backus then broke forth in a
torrent. He said the trouble with the po-
licc was that instead of starting out to
find who committed the murder they sim-
ply hopcd they would fasten it upon Wil-
liam.
