1. THE ‘ cmnmurrr CASE. «a
A Clash Between the District Attorno'
and Magistrate Flammer. .
New York, July 14.—Neither Martin
Thorn nor Augusta Nack was present
in Jefferson Market police court today
for several reasons.
District Attorney Alcott had sent an
order to Warden O’Shea not to permit
either Mrs. Nack or Thorn to be taken
from the Tombs.
This order was placed in the war-
den’s hands yesterday afternoon in
ample time to head off any orders from
Magistrate Flammer. '
“I will protect you from any conse-
quences,” wrote the district attorney.
William F. Howe did not want Thorn
to appear in Jefferson Market. He did
not go himself. He has' waived all ex-
amination in the police court.
“The only way either Mrs. Nack or
Thorn can be got ’to Jefferson Market
police court is by habeas corpus pro-
ceedings,” said Mr. Howe. “If Magis-
trate Flammer wishes to go that far, it
might be done. District Attorney Al-
cott is unwilling to run the risk of the
prisoners being taken there again."
Lawyer Emanuel Friend, for Mrs.
Nack, said he did not expect her in Jef-
ferson Market. At the district attor-
ney’ s request he agreed to a two weeks’
adjournment.
“But the proceedings for a continu-
ance of the examination of Mrs. Nack
will not be interfered with by this. I
still claim this is ourright and shall in-
sist on our rights.”
Jefferson Market -. police court was
crowded. There was great disappoint-
ment when it was learned that neither
Mrs. Nack nor Thorn was coming.
Mrs. Nack objects to the Tombs fare.
She complained to Commissioner
Wright, who makes a. weekly inspec-
tion of the Tombs and hears prisoners’
grievances.
“I’m dying for a decent meal, ” Mrs.
Nack said to the commissioner. “The
police have my money. I want to buy
food while I am here.”
Mr. Wright said he would look-into
the case and incidentally remarked that
a very grave charge was pending
against her.
“Yes, that’s so, ” said Mrs. Nack.
“But I never harmed any one in my
life, and I do hope I will get a square
meal before I die.”
Inspector O’Brien, when asked about
Mrs. Nack’s money, said that the de-
tective bureau had an order, given by
Mrs. Nack to her attorneys, for the
money. Mr. Friend has supplied Mrs.
Nack with some money.
She bought a breakfast from the
prison restaurant—rolls and coffee and
cheese and crackers.
Many of the women in the Tombs
smoke cigarettes. This offends the del—
icacy of the woman who is accused of
plotting to butcher her lover.
“Means should be taken to stop this
. unladylike habit, " she said to the ma-
tron.
Thorn arose early and began reading
about himself in .the papers. Mrs. N ack
had a good cry.
Thgpolice are dredging the slips on
the ong Island side, but all hope of
finding Guldensuppe’ 5 head is about
given up.
Mr. House said today that he had not
yet given up the fight to see the min-
utes of the grand jury. He said he
.would devote part of his argument July
21 to this end. '
THE HAWAIIAN MUDDLE.
Some Essentially English Comment by the
London Globe.
London, July 14.-—-The Globe, com-
menting upon Japan’s attitude toward
Hawaii, says: “The Japanese know pre-
cisely the strength of the American
navy and are perfectly aware of their
own superiority. It does not require
the knowledge of an expert to foresee
that in an ocean conflict the United
States would make a poor, showing. It
is morally certain that the Japanese
ships would ravage the Pacific coast if
the United States once became involved
in hostilities with Japan. In that event
Spain would have an opportunity of
which she would hardly fail to take ad-
vantage.”
Turkey Is Obdnrate.

PANIC AT A FIRE.
Zieg’ler After Rescuing His Children B.
comes a Raving Maniac. ,
Jersey Ci y, July 14. —-The smoke from
a. fire in a small bakeshOp in the rear of
112 Cole street today filled the adjoining
tenement and so crazed with fright the
inmates that in the efforts to escape one
life was lost and the remaining members
of a family were so badly injured as to
necessitate their removal to the hospital.
There are no fire escapes on the build-
ing, and with one accord all rushed to
the front windows in Cole street. Wil-
liam Ziegler, with his family, occupied
the third floor. His wife, only half
awake, sprang from the window into
the street below and lay without any
sign of life.
Several men, attracted by the smoke,
rushed to pick her up and carried her to
the sidewalk opposite. Hardly had they
started across when her son, Thomas, 10
years old, was seen to clamber on the
sill, c1ying for his mother to take him
with her. Before his father, who was
behind, could catch him, the lad had
conscious Both legs were broken, and
he was severely injured about the abdo-
men.
' The father seemed well nigh crazed,
but he made a noble effort to save his
little girl, Bertha, 3 years old. Catch-
ing her up he climbed through the win-
dow and grasping the water pipe fasten-
ed to the wall began what looked like
an impossible descent.
Slowly and painfully he made his
way down, catching at the sills and
copings as 1k went until, within ten feet
of the ground, he lost his hold and fell.
While he was badly shaken up, the
little girl fortunately escaped injury,
having fallen on top of her father. By—
standers caught them both up and bore
them to a house across the way.
Ziegler suddenly broke from the men
holding him, and with an agonized cry
of “The baby!" dashed across the street
and entered the smoke filled building.
He reappeared soon, holding his little
6- months- old child Willis.
It was discovered then that the child
was dead, having been suffocated by
the dense smoke. When the father re-
allzed this, he became a raving maniac,
and the combined strength of six men
was hardly sufficient to hold him.
The police patrol, which had taken
the members of his family to St. Fran-
cis’ hospital, now started there with the
crazed father. 0n the way he made a
desperate effort to escape, but was held
by Policeman William Bonnell until
help came.
Bonnel'l was so exhausted by the
struggle that he was put to bed at the
hospital.
Ziegler was put in a maitjacket, and
grave fears are entertained that he will
not recover.
It was found that Mrs. Ziegler had
sustained fractures of the skull and
both arms, besides being severely in-
jured internally. '
Bertha Ziegler died at St. Francis’
hospital.
THE BRADBURY "SCANDAL.
The Brring Wife Who Eloped Wifli \Vard
Has Been Forgiven. '
San Fianqisco, July 14. —Mrs. John
Bradbury, who deserted her husband
and eloped with H. Russell Ward, has
been reconciled to the Los Angeles mil-
lionaire and will return to him again as
soon as she can leave this city.
Mrs. Bradbury soon tired of her new'
loves and the widespread notoriety
which her escapade gave her, and it
was with great satisfaction she received
word from her husband that he was
willing to forget the past and let her
begin life anew.
The reconciliation was effected thrOugh
the intervention of close friends, who
urged upon the colonel to take his way-
ward wife back to his arms. Mrs. Ban-
nings, Mrs. Bradbury’s mother, was
one of those whose influence was
brought to bear on her husband.
The erring wife’s case came up before
Judge Low, and the charge against her
was dismissed. Mr. and Mrs. Bradbury
will go abroad and remain there until
the scandal has subsided.
