Women Meld For Killing Erb. “lI shot Captain Erb. 1 am sorry, but I could not help it. He pointed a revolver at me. Suddenly I had the i strength of seven women. [| took the | revolver from him and pressed the | trigger. It kept on shooting. I could | mot stop it.” This is the stery of Mrs. Catharine Beisel, of 162 South Fifteenth street, Philadelphia, as retold on the witness stand by Detective Richard Doyle, of the Philadelphia police department, in the combined alderman’s hearing and coroner's inquest to fix the responsi bility for the murder of Captain J. Clayton Erb, national guardsman and politician, who was shot to death at his country home, Red Gables, near Media, Delaware county, Pa. The coroner's jury promptly found the following verdict: “We find that J. Clayton Erb's death was due to internal hemorrhages, the result of gunshot wounds inflicted by Mrs. Catharine Beisel.” Magistrate Robert Smith immediate. ly held Mrs. Beisel and Mrs. Clayten Erb for trial without bail. District Attorney McDade argued that Mrs. Erb had been proved to be an acces sory to the killing. The commonwealth made it plain that it will proceed on the theory that Mrs. Erb, after dining in her own room with her sister, Mrs. Beisel, to whom Erb had canceled the hospitality of his house, had gone secretly to the Village Green inn after her husband had arrived home from Philadelphia, that she and her sister had drunk por- ter in the inn and had made an agree- ment that she would telephone to Mrs, Beisel if there would be trouble in Red Gables, the Erb home. She said she and her husband had exchanged bitter words and that she had telephoned her hister, that she had battered at her husband's door, the woodwork showing evidence of this action; that Captain Erb had come from his room and that his wife had thrown a glass or vase at him, cutting his scalp to the skull in a wound two inches long, from which the blood flowed freely. Then, she said, Erb was shot, the first bullet breaking his leg, and as he fell the second bullet struck him in front just below the collarbone, break- ing the first rib, plowing downward through the lung, fracturing the spinal column and passing through the body in the lower part of the back. That six shots in all were fired, four of them going wild. Woman Dies of Hydrophobia. After suffering with convulsions at intervals for two weeks, Mrs. Harvey Day, of Elizabeth, N.

Physicians reported that they have noted symptoms of Eydrophobia in the actions of Mr. Day, but hope to pre vent the development of the disease. The first indication of the dog's mad- ness was its attack om a mall carrier who entered the Day's yard te deliver the mail. The animal had sunk its teeth in the carrier's leg when Mrs. Day came to the rescue, and the dog turned upon her and bit her five times in the arm. Case of Lsprosy In Camden.
