MURDER FOLLOWED
VAN HORN'S FOUL ACT
Mrs. Westcott, the Victim, Diss ia the
Lackawanna Hospital.
MURDERER IS STILL AT LARGE
liazor with Which the Crime Has
ConiinittL'tl Was Found in the Col
lin --Van Horn or Sonic of Him
Tricnil Cnme linvk at :i O'clock
Saturday .Morning to Find the M cii
pon-Coroncr l.omjstrcct Invt'sti
gales the Cnsr--Funt'ral" of the
Woman Tomorrow.
Mrs. Josephine Westcott, the Frank
lin avenue boarding housekeeper whoso
throat was cut with a razor Friday
night by George K. Van Horn, died
Saturday morning nt 10.55 ut the Lack
awanna hospital. The red-handed mur
derer Is at large, but the police are
actively following up every trail that
gives promise of resulting in his cap
ture. Various stories got afloat since the
deed was committed concerning places
he was seen, but there Is one opinion,
and it is shared by many, that Van
Horn did not leave the city Friday
night, nor even yet. but Is secreted in
the house of some friend until the ex
citement begins to wane. Then he will
have a safer chance to place distance
between himself and the scene of his
fiendish crime.
One glance at Mrs. Westeott's throat
would suffice to say thnt the cut was
done with a razor. The character or
the Instrument used wns not known for
a certainty, however, until 11.30 Friday
night. It was then the razor was found
on the floor of tho cellar. There was
blood on the blade, and the hnndle,
which is of bone, was also stained. Chief
of Police Holding has possession of it
now.
JURY ON THE PREMISES.
Coroner Longntreet went to the hos
pital Saturday afternoon and empan
eled the following Jury: Dr. E. N. Pen-
nypacker, 1). J. Morlarity. W. G. Moser.
A. J. Wlnebrake, John T. Brown una
Dr. C. M. Sltterly. After the remains
were viewed bv the jiuy a visit was
made to the premises where the bloody
deed wns done. The cellar was first in
spected. Van Horn wns In the cellar before
Mrs. Westcott came into It. That seems
to be taken for granted, because she
had no more than gone down the stone
steps leading to It. until her screams
were heard by her little daughter. The
only trace of blood stains was on the
steps. The razor was lying about three
feet from the bottom step.
The correct theory seems to be that
he was In the cellar when she cams
down for the potatoes, nnd seeing the
man she screamed and turned to re
treat up the steps; that he followed her
and half way up reached from behind
her and slashed the razor across her
throat, nnd made his escape as fast as
be could. If the deed V ,1" done in
the cellar, there would be blood to show
It, and she would never have been able
to climb up the steps, but would sink
down on the floor from shock nnd pros
tration. The razor was close to the
bottom step, and the Impression it made
In the dirt Moor shows that It was drop
ped from a higher distance than mere,
ly falling out of one's hand."1
INTENDED TO KILL.
These facts, while they may appear
not to relate very much to tho case, are
taken as circumstances to prove that
there was a deliberate and premeditat
ed Intent to kill. He went to the cellar
first nnd lay In wait In the dark, and
he was armed with a deadly Instru
ment. It Is Immaterial whether his
motive for killing her was because she
had him arrested for stealing $15. or
whether it was because she rejected his
advance as a suitor.
Harry Westcott. a son of the dead
woman. Informed the coroner and the
Jury that about 3 o'clock Saturday
morning some one came to the cellar
door and broke it open with an ax.
There was plain evidence that the door
was forced. One of the boards near the
edge was spllnterd.
Was It Van Horn who came back and
was looking for the razor? Surely no
one else would take the risk, unless It
might be some close friend. The razor
In the hands of thenuthoritles will prove
a most damaging link in the chain
acainst him, but with It destroyed his
chances In court would be Improved 100
per cent. That Is why the door was
broken In, and why the razor was
sought for, but he came too late.
Van Horn was not a mnn who could
rely on getting much assistance. He
was not of that nature to make friend:!.
He was a vicious character. He was
not possessed of much money, nnd
therefore his ability to escape Is very
limited. Chief of Police Robling was
reticent about making any statement
regarding any Information In his pos
session as to the probable direction
taken by the fugitive, or what place of
concealment he had in view. County
Detective Leyshon Is also working on
the case.
SHE MADE NO STATEMENT.
The doctors had strong hopes that
Mrs. Westcott might recover. They
dlil not say that she would, but they
did not think that her death was so
near at hand. It was not the wound of
Itself which caused death; It was the
great loss of blood. At 10 o'clock Sat
urday morning a change came about
In her condition. She became weak
er. Drs. lilanchard and Fish tried to
Mem the ebb of life, but she collapsed
so quickly that there was no time to
secure the presence of her family.
i.'o statement was left behind by her.
She said several times that Van Horn
Vvas the person, but did not enter Into
any details. She was not disturbed at
all after being brought to the hospital,
and no one was permitted to speak to
her. But, voluntarily she expressed
Van Horn's name and said he was her
assailant. Mrs. Fetterolf, who boards
at the Westcott house, saw him es
caping and recognized him. To Mrs.
Fetterolf,' immediately after the deed,
Mrs. Westcott said Van Horn
her assailant
FUNERAL TOMORROW.
After Coroner Longstreet viewed the
remains, he permitted the family to
remove them from the hor.pltnl morgue.
He examined the wound and took data
to be used 83 testimony In court If
Van Horn Is captured. The remains
were prepared for burial by Undertak
er Jones, of Providence. Tho funeral
will be held tomorrow afternoon and
will be private. Interment will be
made In Jermyn.
The coroner's jury will meet Wednes
day night at 8 o'clock in the arbitra
tion room of the court house to hear
testimony.
SEEN AT THE D. & H. STATION.
Chief of Police Robling learned yes
terday that a man named Albert Saund
ers saw Van Horn at 5 o'clock Saturday
morning at the Delaware and Hudson
station on Lackawanna avenue. Saund
ers did not then know that Mrs. West
eott's throat was cut. and that Van
Horn did it, or ho would have given
the alarm.
The chief heard that the murderer
went Into Burke's hotel on Providence
road and got a drink of whiskey, pay
ing for it and afterwards wanting to
borrow five cents from the bartender;
and that he was In two other saloons in
Providence and had drinks, but inves
tigation revealed that it was not Van
Horn. .
A story came from Dunmore saying
that he was. haunting that vicinity, but
it had no foundation when traced to its
source. If Van Morn was seen Satur
day morning by Saunders, the probabil
ity is that he lost no time in getting out
of town. He Is an old railroader and
will have less trouble stealing railroad
rides than one not so familiar with the
art of Jumping on moving trains.
ANXIOUS TO GET MONEY.
He had worked for a man on Penn
avenue up to Thursday and had $." com
ing to him. He wanted it, but was told
by his employer to wait a day or so.
Then he ofi'ered to sell It for $3. He
was told he would get all that was com
ing to him, but to wait. His employer
refused to discount his wages, and
thereupon he asked for his time, so
that he could sell it to some one.
He got his time and disposed of it
for $3. On Friday he earned 35 cents
from a man named Reynolds on Frank
lin avenue for carrying a tor. of coal
upstairs in baskets. This, as far as
could be learned, was all the capital
he had to start out with.
Chief Robling says he cannot do any
thing toward sending out officers to
trail up the murderer. There is no pro
vision In the city's funds for paying
the expense, and all he could do was
done when he placed officers to watch
nil railway stations and other avenues
of escape, nnd sent telegrams to at. .ne
nearby cities and towns and larger cities
of the country to be on the lookout for
him.
TODAY'S BASE BALL GAME.

WATER DOES GREATEST DAMAGE
Origin of the Fire lTnknown-Stnrted
in tho F.levntor Shaft and Quickly
Climbed to the Hoof, Where the
Firemen Had to Muka Their Fight.
Four Stores nnd One Hundred and
Thirty Unices Aro Drenched with
WntcfThu Lender Is the Greatest
Loser.
John Jermyn's Coal Exchange, the
corner stone of Greater Scranton, was
visited by n fire yesterday morning,
which caused $150,000 damages. The roof
of the structure was badly burned and
the building with Its four large stores
and one hundred and thirty offices was
completely deluged with water.
The fire broke out about 4.15 o'clock
a. m. and was burning for quite a
lungth of time before being discovered.
Patrolman May, who was watching at
the New York bargain store, which
was visited by fire at midnight, first saw
the tlamcs. He sent In nn alarm from
box 26, corner of Washington and Lack
awanna avenues, this being the near
est station to where he was standing.
By the time the firemen renched the
scene dense volumes of smoke were as
cending from the roof and the llames
were commencing to show. Second nnd
third alarms were sent In, nnd soon
there -were on the scene the Chemical
Engine company, the Hook and Ladder
company. Crystal Engine Hose com
pany, Nay Aug Engine company, Cen
tury Hose company, Engle Engine com
pany, Neptune Engine company, and
Relief Engine company.
FIGHTING THE FLAMES.
By the use- of ladders from the front,
tho the em-ape In the rear and by carry
ing a line of hose through the Raub
building on the north, the fire on the
roof was successfully battled with. At
5 o'clock It looked as If the building
was doomed, but the firemen succeed
ed soon after In getting the best of the
(lames, nnd at 6 o'clock had them well
subdued. About 9.30 o'clock the fire was
entirely extinguished.
Owing to the fact that the roof was
very solidly constructed the flames
made only slow headway. It was a
most stubborn fire, though, and gnve
the firemen one of the worst battles they
have ever had.
The blaze started In the elevator shaft
on the first lloor and following1 the
oil-soaked wooden girders quickly com
munlcated to the roof. The firemen be
gan their attack on the north of the
building and the south end consequently
was the most badly damaged, both by
fire and water.
The hallway on the first floor In the
vicinity of the elevator was badly
scorched, but until the fourth floor is
reached no further damage from the
flames Is evident, excepting, of course,
In the elevator shaft, where the wooden
girders are charred. Tho roof, and the
celling of the fourth lloor will have to
be replaced and the building entirely
renovated as the plastering Is loosened
all throughout the building and the
floors nre badly warped.

The loss to the building is nbout $35.
000. Mr. Jermyn carried only $20,000 In
surance. It was placed with Duir
Brothers, of Wilkes-Barre.
LEADER'S BIO LOSS.
I.ebeck & Corin, proprietors of the
Leader store, were the greatest losers
of all. They had a $55,0u0 stock, which
Is a complete loss, they claim. They
carried $15,000 Insurance. P. McCrea
& Co. valued their stock at $12,000 and
aver I hat It Is a total loss. They carried
$7,000 Insurance. Merccreau & Connell
nnd A. Sawyer escaped with compara
tively slight loss ns only n small quan
tity of water came through the north
side of the building.
The Colliery Engineer people suffered
to the extent f about $20,000. In water
soaked furniture and carpets nnd books
papers, instruments nnd supplies for
their schools. Their Insurance is $10,
000. Luckily, this month's publications
had been gotten out, and thanks to the
foresight of the Messrs. Foster, dupli
cates of the blanks used In the school of
mines nre stored In abundance at an
other point. As a result a great amount
of inconvenience and pecuniary loss Is
avoided.
Frank T. Carroll, who carried on a
large merchant tailoring establishment
on the southern end of the second floor
Is also a great loser, as his entire stock
was exposed and consequently drench
ed. He could not be seen, but It Is safe
to estimate that his loss will run up
into the thousands. All the other oc
cupants of the building suffered more
or less from water, and altogether the
damage will easily run up to $150,000.
PIONEER OFFICE BUILDING.
The Coal Exchange was built In 1SS5
at a cost of $120,000. It was the flr.1t of
the large office buildings erected In this

covers an area 113ixlC7 feet, and Is
five stories In height.
Mr. Jermyn said yesterday to a Trib

work of rebuilding at once.
The Colliery Engineer proprietors
were negotiating yesterday for a new
location and will resume work tomorrow
or Wednesday.

Caused but Slight Damage.
A fire of unknown origin broke out
In the rear of the cellar of the Now
York Barnnln store, 503 Lackawanna
avenue", nt 11.20 o'clock Saturday night.
Smoke was seen Issuing from the build
ing by passers-by nnd they notified
Patrolman Rodham, who sent In an
alarm from box 26, corner of Washing
ton and Lackawanna avenues.
The firemen fortunately lost no time
In locating the flames, which were
among a quantity of unpacked goods,
and as the result little damage resulted.
The manager of the store, Mr. Jo
sophs, was in New York purchasing
goods. .
