Tragic Kndof the Life of Kelson Wood

and ho drove to Mount Cobb and em
panelled the following Jury: Dr. P. II.
McAndrew, C. W. Mack, Onirics Beers,
Joseph Myers, peter C. Beers und Will-
lam Kramer.
The evidence K'ven before the jury
was from the deceased' wife) and chil
dren. Woodruff, 'they juitkvri, acted
rather queer for some time, but they
thought lie was out. of sorts rather than
anything was wrong with his mind.
one of the children noticed the body
hanging front the tree by u piece of
clothesline. He was just after com
mining the deed. The jury returned a
verdict to the effect that Woodruff died
by his own hands.
The suicide created the greatest shock
throughout the township, an the de
ceased was a prominent man and was
looked upon with respect und esteem.
The impression is that 1he deed was
committed while Woodruff was suffering

MOST MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR
William Gurd Dies from the Bullet
J Wounds He Received.
WHY WERE THE SHOTS FIRED
That Is tbe Question That Is Worrying
tha Of fleets of the Law -I'nable to
Arrive at a Satisfactory
Answer to It. ,
William aurd, of 100 Ash street, died
at the Lackuwanna hospital at i.'iO ys
terday morning from the effect of tho
two pIMol -wounds that were Inflicted
on hitn liy some unknown assailant
m ar the Holes Steel Car Wheel works
bftween 9 anil 10 o'clock Monday even
lng.
liiird's vccount of how he came to get
shot was published In full In The Ti'lb
mi rehUrdny; and nothing has so far
developed that tends to I row any
more light on -the mysterious murder
It Is one ct the strangeHt cases that thn
officers of the law have had to deal
1 tli lor some time.
The dead man was 88 years old, mar
rlcd, but had no children; he was an
F.ngllshman and worked as a miner In
Capouse shaft. He belonged to Lodge
No. 1, Sons of St. Cleorge, and was In
cc mfortable circumstances.
His wife has a penchant for mem
bershlp in female organizations, and on
Monday evening she left home to at
tend lodge on the West Side. She left
the house at 7 o'clock and locked the
door, her husband leaving at the same
time. They parted at Ash street and
Washington avenue, she said, nnd he
walked on up Ash street, while she took
the car for the West Side. She returned
home about 10 o'clock and waited pa
tiently for Gurd to muke his appear
ance. He promised to he home at 10
o'clock, but the hours dragged slowly
and l't was midnight when he arrived
and knocked at the door.
He Looked Like a Ghost.
She asked If It was he who was rap
ping for admittance und the voice that
answered her was husky and weak
He sank in a chair and told her of his
condition. Dr. McAndrews was sent
for and arrived at 2 o'clock in the morn
lng. He told Gurd that the chances
were against him and advised htm to
tell all that there was to be told about
the happening. The story that was
given to lr. McAndrew Is not the
same that Mrs. Gurd tells in regard to
how the wounded man got home. Ac
cording to the doctor's version Gurd
said he ran home all the way, and Mrs.
Gurd says that he told her that he ran
a short distance, fell on the ground
and laid thre for two hours. The
thought that he was liable to die in the
Held gave him superhuman energy nnd
he struggled to his feet und walked to
the street car track, where he boarded
a Suburban car and rode to New York
street, walking from there to his home.
The gossip among the neighbors and
the general Impression in the neighbor
hood is that there Is a woman in the
cuse. if Gurd's story Is true that he
was passing a couple, seated under a
tree, and was fired upon by the? mini
without any provocation, It Is a most
remarkable case of cold-blooded mur
der.
It Is too chimerical to believe that any
man would stain his hands with a fel
low creature's life blood under these
circumstances.
County Detective l eyshon at Work.
No notice had been given to County
Detective Leyshon of the case until late
Tuesday evening, and then when he
heard of it he went post haste to the
Lackawunna 'hospital to take Gurd's
ante-mortem statement, but the man
was then semi-unconscious and so dazed
from the effects of ether that had been
administered to him by the surgeons
before probing for the bullet, that the
county detective could not hear the
man's story.
Mr. Leyshon went to work upon the
case yesterday -with only the meager
details at hand and consequently has
not as yet made any substantial prog
ress.
One thing Is certain, that Gurd told
the truth so far as his statement in re
gurd to the location of the occurrence.
The watchman at the car wheel works,
William Jeffrey, was sitting lit the open
air and after he iheard the first shot his
attention was attracted to the place
where the firing appeared to be. He
saw the flush of fire that accompanied
the second shot.
A young ma'n named, Oliver Day
heard the shots in the direction of the
hill above the car wheel works and he
says that there were four fired.
It Is a Favorite Tryst lng Place.
This field is a trystlng place for young
persons of both sexes who are not over
ly particular ubout their conduct, and
It has been customary with special
constables to pry u round and come un
expectedly upon a couple holding a tete-a-tete
in some shady nook, and then
threaten exposure unless hush money
were paid.
At the 'hospital yesterday morning
Coroner Kelley empaneled a jury as
follows: D. R Ryan, John Grimes, D. J.
Campbell, Thomas H. Kelley, Dr. P. H.
McAndrews and Dr. Ileuld, of the hos
pital. The body was viewed and the
Jury adjourned to meet at the court
house Friday evening. The coroner
held nn autopsy at noon and found the
bullet, from a S8-callber weapon, Im
bedded tn the large intestine. The
cause of death was peritonitis, brought
on by the bullet wound In the abdomen.
THE PRODIGAL SON.
Was Sung in a Brilliant Manner by St.
Patrick's church Choir.
What careful training and painstak
ing rehearsing care accomplish was
shown last night by the manner In
which St. Patrick's church choir of the
West Side sang Sir Arthur Sullivan's
oratorio, "The Prodigal Won," at Col
lege hull. The heat Interfered some
what with the attendance, hut there
was a good sized crowd who braved
that discomfort to hear Sir Arthur's
greatest sacred work sung. It Is the
most difficult musical creation that a
local choir hus ever attempted to ren
der, and the success with which It -was
sung Is thn greatest compliment that
can be paid the members of the choir
and their brilliant conductor.
The choir Is composed of forty-five
voices, divided as follows: Sopranos,
11; altos, IS; tenors, 8; bassos, II. The
solo parts were rendered Iby 'Mrs. Kate
Sullivan, soprano; Miss Sarah Duggan,
alto; John Feeney, tenor, and John
Connolly, bass. The latter was In
splendid voice when he sang "For This
My Son Was Dead," one of the most
effective as Well as one of the most
difficult solos In the oratorio. The
choruses were rendered In an excellent
manner, "O, That Men Would Praise
the Lord" and "The Sacrifices of God"
being perhaps the imost brilliant efforts.
Miss Maud Copland played the piano
solo parts of the oratorio to the accom
paniment of Bauer's orchestra In a brll
llamt, manner. She possesses' great
powers ot expression and delicacy of
touch that promises to win much re
nown for her. Miss Anna C. Durkln
filled the exacting office of accompan
ist In a manner that won new laurels
for her.
The success of the oratorio last might
has Induced Haydn Evans to decide 'to
have it sung again In the fall.
WEDDED AT THE CATHEDRAL.
Patrick J. .Mcssltt and Miss llannon
I'nited in Marriage.
Miss Katie Haiinon, of Irving avenue,
was led to the altar In St. Peter's 'ca

AS TO SHOPLIFTING.
An Explanation of a Letter Printed in
Yesterday's Tribune.
Last evening's Truth contained the
following "Letters from the People:"
In this morning's Tribune there nppearn
a letter regarding the recent arrest of the
shoplifters In this city to which my name
Is attached. Kindly permit me to say
through you columns that I neither wrote
the letter in question nor caused It to lie
written, nor did I authorize any person to
attach my signature thereto. In short, I
had nothing whatever to do With It, al
though I knew it hud been written and
would be" sent to the puper in question
Respectfully yours, (1. L. Ackerman.
I wrote the article referred to In the
foregoing letter to the order of Mr. K. W.
Millar, whom I knew to be thoroughly
conversant with all the details of the shop
lifters' nrrest. etc. This fact wan distinct
ly stated on the back of the copy sent to
The Tribune, und Mr. O. L. Ackerman had
no connection with It whatever, there
fore his name should not have been
brought into It In any wuy.
Richard Little.
The facts as nluted above by Messrs.
Ackerman und Little ure absolutely cor
rect. K. W. Millar.
At 10:HO o'clock Tuesday evening E.
W. Millar called nt The Tribune ofllce
with a letter for publication, signed
"One Who Knows." He was Informed
by the editor of this paper that no com
munications not signed for publication
by the writer's real name would be
printed. He then authorized The Trib
une to use his name as author, nnd to
put beside It the nunie of G. L. Acker
man, whom, he said, knew of the arti
cle, und would not object. This was
done In the presence of witnesses. The
responsibility for the letter, therefore,
In the face of 'Mr. Ackerman's dis
claimer, must rest upon Mr. E. W. Mil

of Bail Necessary.
Peter Spoto and wife, Andrew Lodato
and Philip Lodnto and their wives, were
committed to the county jail yesterday
afternoon, as they could' not furnish the
hull Mint Alderman Millar fixed.
It was commonly reported that the
Italian shoplifters would sklu out ns

account no one could be found to take
the responsibility for their appearance
at court.

FATHER KELLEY'S FUNERAL
Remains Removed from His Fsthet's
Home to the Cathedral.
Rev. Edward J. Kelley' body wai
removed from the late home on Man
roe avenue to St. Peter' cathedral last
evening at 9 o'clock. The church wus
draped in memorlam of the dead priest.
The main ultur was sombre with
folds of heavy black cloth entwined
uround the tabernacle, flower vases
and candlesticks. The marble minarets
on each side were, hid beneath the same
drapery. Twckjsmall candles burned
before the door of the tabernacle.
To the left the stutue of St. Joseph
was surrounded by bright candles and
fragrant flowers. A band of deep
mourning en.sheathed the catafalque in
the center aisle, and on the gallery rail
lng wus also a width of mourning. Oa
each side of the catafalque stood six
tall candlesticks and they were lit as
soon us the body was brought Intohe
church.
The procession from the house was
not romposed of any persons but the
family and Immediate friends. At the
church, when the body arrived, was a
large congregation of people.
It was the wish of the parents of the
departed priest that friends abstain
from offerings of flowers, and In conse
quence the most simple arrangements
prevailed. The remains rested in
handsome casket. The following ' will
act as pall-bearers today: Rev. Pat
rick E. Lavelle, Rev. Daniel McCarthy,
Walter Gorman, George Dickson
Avoca; Hernan Banks and Michael Lof-
tus, Carbondale. They are seminar
luns and the dead priest was a class
mate of theirs.
Tho Miserere was chanted by several
priests In concert when the body was
placed on the catafalque. The moss at
10 o clock this morning will be celebrat
ed by Rev. P. J. Golden, of Wllllams-
port; Rev. .1. J. ft. Feeley, deacon: Rev.
John Healey, of Mount rieasant, sub-
beacon, and Rev. J. A. O'Reilly, mas
ter of ceremonies. Father Feeley will
preach thn sermon.

thrill'.ng feats are to be performed by the
Jewell brothers, considered to be the
premier aeronauts of the country, who
have brought the cloud lenping business to
the highest pitch of perfection, in addi
tion to these special attractions, the own
ers of Lorraine propose to make the after
noon profitably interesting us well by hnv-
Ing one hundred envelopes dropped from
the balloon as It ascends, one of which will
contain an order entitling the finder to a
deed for one of the best $2W lots at Lor
ralne entirely free of cost, which order will
be exchanged for the deed when presented
at the firm's office. Lorraine is so well
known as to hardly need any mention
here. It has all the essentials of an ideal
home, charming position, elcvutlon, ac
cessiblllty to the city, rapid transit, etc.
