MYSTERIOUS DEATH
OF ALFRED EWING
Well-Known Voting Man About Town
Died from Polton.
SUPPOSED TO DE SELF-ADMINISTERED
Ho Was Out I.nto Tuosdny Night, nnd
HetnrniiiR nt Knrly Morn, Wont to
lied ; Aroio Shortly Afterwards, nnd
After 11 el n g Out for a Time, Cumo
Home, Spolto About Funeral At
rnngomoiits, nnd Within a Short
TJmo Was Found Uend in lied
Albert L. Ewlng, Jr., died very sud
denly at 9.45 o'clock yesterday morn
ing nt his homo over Kann's printing
house, 207 Spruce street nnd all indi
cations point to death being caused
by poison.
Not a little mystery Is attached to
Ewlng's death. Coroner Longstrcet
believes it was the result of an over
dose of opium, taken medicinally.
Some of the clrcumstunccs, however,
would raise a doubt as to this being
the right explanation. When death
occurred Ewlng was lying abed ln the
same room with his wife.
Ewlng was an agent for Hess & Co.,
cigar makers at Rochester, N. Y nnd
was a handsome fellow, only 23 years
of ago and naturally ho made many
friends. Tuesday night ho had been
out very late and retired In the early
morning. At 7.30 o'clock yesterday
morning he arose from bed, dressed and
walked out.
A half hour later ho returned and
stopped on his way upstairs to talk
to Jtlhn Ross, a tailor with apartments
on the second floor. Ross says that
Ewlng seemed to be in cheerful spirits.
He made on reference to trouble of any
kind nnd with the remark, "I gues3 I'll
go and havo a smoke and lie down
awhile," Ewlng went upstairs.
MRS. EWING'S STORY.
Mrs. Ewlng Is the only person who
knows anything of Ewlng's actions
after this. Her story to a Tribune
reporter was not altogether clear. At
first she said that Ewlng smoked his
pipe nnd chatted at length. She 'her
self had not arisen from bed. After
ward she stated that Ewlng entered
the room, took off his clothing and
threw himself on the bed. Mrs. Ewlng
stated that he immediately fell Into
a sound sleep.
"How did you discover that he was
dying?" was asked of Mrs. Ewlng.
She answered that s&ie noticed the
blue color on his lips.
Mrs. Ewlng sent for Dr. D. B. Hand,
whoso office Is near-by. Dr. Hand re
sponded and administered emetics.
They failed to act, however, and about
9:45 o'clock Ewlng breathed his last.
Coroner Longstreet was summoned
and at once held an autopsy. The
stomach of the deceased was preserved
for a chemical analysis. Coroner Long
street, however, detected evidences of a
large dose of morphine. The evidence
that this drug was used was borno out
by the discovery of a small vial ln the
recently worn clothes of the deceased.
The contents had been one hundred
quarter grains of morphine tablets.
The vial was empty.
The coroner's Jury Is W. J. Kann,
John Cameron, II. U. Hopewell, Jacob
Grler, John Ross, and J. J. O'Boyle.
They will meet nt the call of the coro
ner. SPOKD ABOUT FUNERAL.
Last night when the funeral arrange
ments were under discussion, Mrs. Ew
lng said she would Insist upon Inter
ment being made ln Corning. "Al
wanted to bo burled -there," she said.
"When he came ln this morning he
said to me 'Mame, If anything should
ever happen to me I want you prom
ise to bury me ln Corning. There Is a
vault there where my mother Is burled
and there Is Just roomi for two more
in It. When I die I want to be burled
there and I want you to bo burled
alongside me.'
"I told him I would certainly do that
for htm, and then advised him to go to
bed and not bo talking of such dismal
things. Ho Insisted on talking this
way, though, for some time. He also
told me that the only flowers he wanted
when he died was a tube rose and
wanted me to place ono ln his hand1
when he would bo laid out.
"I laughed at his talk and said, 'well
we are not dead yet; time enough for
that when we aro going to die.' He
went to bed telling mo he had bought
some headache powders and pointing
out where they were on the stand. Ho
smoked In tho bed and chatted for a
while and then fell asleep. The next
thing I knew I was aroused by his
heavy breathing and when I could not
waken him I sent for Dr. Hand. Ho
never regained consciousness."
Mrs. Ewlng says she was married to
Ewlng ln BInghamton flvo years ago.
They had no children.
