BROOKLYN, July 26.-—The examination
of William Starr Henry, the f‘bad son,”
who is accused of having nhirdered his
miser' father, Charles W. Henry, on June
12, Was concluded in the Myrtle Avenue
police court today, and he was held for
the grand jury.
“Good Son” Walter Henry was in court,
apparently in a happy mood, long before
the examination commenced. The "bad
son” also appeared to be quite contented.
Sergeant John O’Brien was the first
witness. He said the doorman gave him
a shirt that was taken from William
Henry by Roundsman McGrath after be
surrendered to the police of the Twenty-
flrst precinct.
He rolled it up in a. bundle, which be
marked and then turned it over to Cap-
tain Kitzer. .
O’Brien declared that the collar on the
shirt was of the turn down pattern, and
that it was limp from perspiration.
Captain Kitzer contradicted O’Brien,
stating that the collar was a standing one

William's Deniale.
Captain Kitzcr said he visited the house
where the murder was committed after
the coroner's inquest and made a search
for the weapon with which the deed Was
done. An ax was found in the basement.
On the second floor he found a closet
door had been pried open. The ax fitted
exactly in the indentations made on the
door and-sill.
The house, he said, blood spots and all,
was in the same condition as on the day
of the murder, excepting that the base-
ment windows had been pried open.
“The prisoner was shown the ax in the
station house, ” said the witness, “and he
was asked when be last saw it. He re-
plied that it was a long time ago, when
he used it to break up a box in the area-
way.
“Inspector McLaughlin was present, and
he asked William if he killed his father in
self defense; that if so he would better
Eonfess, and the police would befriend
un.
“The prisoner answered that he did not
kill his father and'kncw nothing of the
crime.” .
Deputy Coroner Kelly, to, whom the
shirt was shown by Captain Kitzcr, testi-
fied to receiving the same undgiving it to
Professor Eaton for analysis of the blood
spots. ‘ p
Professor Eaton’s Evidence.
Professor }Euton said he had scraped
from the sleeves particles that contained
blood, but there were plenty of other spots
from which further analysis ’ could be
made. The witness identified the shirt,
and it was . returned to him to cut out
pieces from which the defendant’s chem-
. _ ists mig’li‘tr'mako an analysis.
Lawyer Backus: then moved that the
testimony adduced in a previous examina-
tion showing that the murdered man had
applied for a. warrant for William be strick-
en from the record. The motion was de-
nied.
Mr. Backus then moved that the pris-
oner be di'sSharged, as there was no evi-
dence t6 connect him with the ’crime.
This motion was also denied, and the pris-
oner was’rcmanded to await the action of
the grand jury.
Captain Kitzcr, it seems, has neglected
to have the prisoner photographed and
asked that he be allowed to take him to
headquarters. Mr. Backus objected, and
Justice Haggerty committed the prisoner
to the custody of the sheriff.
Good Son Walter and Bad Son William
had a. long interview at the conclusion of
the examination. They laughed occasion-
ally and seemed to be on‘thc friendliest of
terms. -
Walter asked District Attorney Ridg-
way whether there, was anything else in
the house that was wanted by the police.
He said be we: anxious to clear it out and
put it in condition for occupancy.

ABSOLUTELY PURE p
OF INTEREST T0 DIVORCEES.’
Intricato Point to Be Argued Before tho
Appellate Court at Albany.
ALBANY, July 26. —The important ques-
tion of whether a person leaving this state
can be compelled to provide for a divorced
wife resident here or be punished for con—
tempt is to be argued before the court of
appeals in the case of Esther Lea Davis
against Simon, Davis, both of New York;
Esther Lea Davis married Simon Davis
about 25 years ago. After living together
15 years they‘separated. Davis then took
up his residence in Massachusetts and ob-
tained a divorce #0111 Mrs. Davis. In 1891
he came to this state, and relying on his
Massachusetts diVOrce married Carrie
Curran. Thereupon Mrs. Davis began
suit for absolute divorce, naming the sec-
ond wife as corespondent and insisting
that the divorce obtained by Davis in
Massachusetts was not valid in this state.
An order was obtained for the arrest of
Davis, who was held to bail in the sum of
$1,000. Subsequently Carrie Curran be-
gan an action against Davis to annul her
marriage. The ease was tried before
Judge Pryor, who annulled the marriage.
Mrs. Davis No. 1 applied tothe supreme
court to compel her husband to support
her, and the court made an order direct-
ing Davis to pay her $15 weekly. Imme:
diately after the order had been made
Davis left New York, and legal proceed~
iugs were begun to punish him for c'on~
tempt. His counsel insisted that no pro-
ceedings to punish him could be main.
tained until he had been personally served
with the order. J 11ng Ingraham coincid-
ed with this view and denied the applica-
tion.
The general term of the supreme court
reversed the order and directed Davis to
be committed for contempt. From this
Davis appeals.

The Body Found at Washington
Heights Was That of Lillie Low.
IDENTIFICATION PERFECT.
Inlcide Theory In Now Generally Believed,
but Miss Hanson, .Champney nand
Riggs Have Been Held In 82,000
Each For the Inquest.
NEW YORK, July 26.—Three persons,
two men and a. oman, were taken before
Coroner O’Meag er today,on suspicion of
having in some way been concerned in the
death of Lillian Low, the daughter of
James Low, Jr., who is alleged to have
shot herself in Washington heights on
Tuesday morning. There is in reality
little or no evidence against these pet-Sons,
but the circumstances surrounding her
life the past four months were so strange
that the police deemed it advisable to take
into custody Miss A. K. Hanson, a board-
lug house keeper of 103 West Fifty-eighth
street; Henry T. Champncy, her lodger,
and Dr. Thomas J. Biggs of 34 West Thir‘
ty-fourth street.
The three were arrested on warrants is-
sued y Coroner O'Meagher, after a con—
sulta ion with Captain Pickett of the West
Thirtieth Street police station. It was
then decided to arrest all persons who
were concerned, as alleged, in inducing the
young girl to leave her father’s home.
Detective McGovern brought to the sta-
tion house Helen Hanson, a niece of Miss
Hanson and a nurse in the Roosevelt hos-
pital. '
Captain Pickett questioned her, but she
was able to give them no information.
She said that she had seen Miss Low but
twice at her aunt’s house. Captain Pick-
ett.and Mr. Low were convinced thdt the
girl had nothing to tell, and she was al-
lowed to leave. Mr. Low was seen and he
talked freely. .
The Father’s Story.
“I want to deny, ” he said, “that I ever
treated my daughter cruclly,. as has been
stated by those persons (referring to M'Es
Hanson, Champncy and Biggs).
“For 19 years we lived together and
traveled the world together and were as
close as father and daughter could be.
“I loved her more than life. She was
always in a happy mood and devoted to
me until these Hanson people got an in—
' fluence over her. In the months we lived
in tho Thirty-fourth street house we never
quarrclcd.
“Then these people came between us. I
never liked them, and for that reason I
left Miss Hanson, and her friends seemed
to have a strange fhfluence over her. It
was such an influence as it would be easy
to obtain over a weakminded girl.
' “As to what motive they had I can only
surmise. I have some means, and I in-
tended to leave all my property to Lillie.
”In the trunks in my room were bonds,
and I had told them that Lillie was to get
them when I‘ died, and I am an old man
and not very strong. I have heard that
Lillie was seen driving about with rather
fast men and had new clot es. It seems
strange indeed. She worked, too, almost
as a servant. I believe they exercised
some power over her. Maybe they threat-
ened her and induced her to believe that I
had maltreated her.
“Several of the people with whom Lillie
was associated called on my brother, who
is a wealthy man, and on my sister, Mrs.
Oliver Harriman. But they were not al-
lowed to enter the house.
warned my brother and sister.
Lillie’s Peculiar Letter.
“Now, as to that letter which Lillie
wrote to me, I do not believe that she did
it of her own volition.
"I never treated her in the manner she
charged. Do you think that an old man
like me would rise out of his sickbed, as
she says, and kick her—kick the daughter
who was. all I had in the world, who had
been with me for 19 years, and whom I used
to call my shadow. It is a lie. I never ill
treated her and behaved to her as the let«
ter charges. ” ,
Mr. Low as he talked was remarkably
cool and did not become excited. When
asked whether he believed any one was in
any way concerned in his daughter’s death,
he said:
“I do not know. But really her end
was not a surprise to me. I had a strange
prescntiment that she would come to a bad
end. I did my best to get be: back, but I
could not. I could not get neu - her. ”
Mr. Low and Captain Picket-t went
down to the coroner’s office. A few mo-
ments later a carriage drove up in front
of the station.
Accompanied by Detectives McGovern
and Day, Miss Hanson, Champncy and
Biggs were taken from their cells and
driven to the coroner’s office.
They were met there by Lawyer Charles
W. Brooke, who has been retained as their
counsel.
Miss Hanson is a large, blond woman
of about 40 years of age. She has the ap-
pearance of being a woman with a strong
mind. Mr. Champncy is aman of about
45.
and looks like a" comfortable business
man. Biggs is a young man of about 30
years.
The prisoners were arraigned before
Coroner O’Meagher at 11:30 o’clock. and
were held under $2,000 bail each to appear
at the inquest on Tuesday morning at
11:30 o’clock. ‘
Mr Low has told the story of his life.
He went to France 25 years ago and fell in
love with a Frenchwoman.
bore him six children, five of whom she
killed in various ways. He finally discov-
ered the woman’s perfidy and returned to
this country with his daughter Lillian.
