MURDER OF 11 PRIEST
Body Found in a Trunk in New
York Lodging House.
Gould Separation Suit Arrest For
Staffeldt Girl Murder Message on
Recount Bill Monuments Unveiled
Memorial Day Haywood Murder
Trial Hearing on Utilities Bill.
Three weeks ago Mrs. Annie Shor
ter of New York rented one of
her six rooms in a West 37th street
tenement to two strangers. Last
Wednesday the rent was not forthcom
ing, but her lodgers, two Greeks, told
her thut she was amply secured by
their well filled trunk. Next morn
ing the men disappeared and SunJay
the trunk was broken open. To the
horror of Mrs. Sherrer, it was found
to contain the badly decomposed body
of a man believed to have been Father
Caspar Harnn, an Itinerant Armenian
priest well known in Iloboken.
The body was in a kneeling pos
ture, with the head bound against the
knees by a heavy strap. The mur
dured man must have been about VO
yearn old. He weighed probably 1G0
pounds and was about 5 feet 4 inches
tall. A long flowing heard he wore
was streaked with gray but his bushy
hair was black. An undershirt and
a cuff were all the body had on, but
on top of it had been thrown three
coals of clerical cut, and several other
articles of clothing.
Lute Wednesday afternoon an ex
press wagon brought to the house the
trunk which held the corpse. One of
the Sarkis, witli the aid of a young
man who drove the wagon, carried the
truuk with (considerable difficulty to
the lodgers' room. That night Mrs.
Sherrer asked her roome. for the
rent due. They pointed to the trunk
and suld it would be found to contain
ample security for what they owed.
The men afterwards said that the
trunk delivered to them was not theirs
and that a mistake had been made.
It remained in the house, however,
nnd was there the next morning,
though the roomers left before Mrs.
Sherrer was up. She did not see them
again.
Coroners Physician Lehane declared
that his death was due to suffocation.
The Internal organs were congested
and Dr. Lehane believes that the man
was thrust Into the trunk while alive
and Its cover was held down until his
death ensued.
Gould Counsel's Statement.
DeLancey Nicoll, upon whom as
couusel for Howard Gould Mrs. Gould
served notice of her BUit for perma
nent separation upon the grounds of
dosertlon, cruelty and Inhuman treat
ment, including a police conspiracy
against her, issued a statement set
ting forth his connection with the al
leged conspiracy.
In brief, Mr. Nlcol! explains that
there came to the ears of the police a
report that a crime had been commit
ted in that Katherine Clemmons,
whllo having a husband living, married
Howard Gould. Very properly, he
holds, the police, whose duties are not
only to prevent but also to detect
crime, looked into the matter at his
suggestion. When they had satisfied
themselves that the gossip concerning
Mrs. Gould was baseless, they dropped
their investigation.
"There was nothing done," Mr. Nic
oll adds, "on behalf of Mr. Gould
which was unusual, irregular, extraor
dinary or other than any other citizen
has a right to have done for him." Mr.
Nico'l said that he had made a state
ment to Mr. Hanson.
It was said that the retirement of
McLaughlin and the explanation of Mr.
Nicoll would not stop the inquiry ud
der wy at police headquarters.
Arr;t For Staffeldt Girl Murder.
Henry Pecker,- aged 21, of Manhat
tan, has been arrested on suspicion
that he was the man who Wednesday
ravished nnd murdered Amelia, the 15-year-old
daughter of William Staffeldt,
a farmer of Elmhurst, L. I.
Murker, uccording to the police, ad
mitted having been in the neighbor
hood at tho hour the crime was com
muted and having washed his bauds
at a pump in tho nearby yard of Mrs.
Emily Simonson. The arrest was
made on the Shell road, near the Staf
feldt home nnd the prisoner later was
locked up.
LATER On being confronted on
Friday night with the corpse of
Amelia Staffeldt, Henry Becker, who
was arrested on suspicion, broko
down, according to the police, and con
fessed that he had witnessed the as
sault that preceded the murder of the
15-year-old Elmhurst girl.
The crime was done by a companion,
the prisoner said. He asserted his
own Innocence.
The police ar not wholly satisfied
with Becker's story, but will bend
their energies to finding his compan
ion. They are convinced that two men
were either directly or Indirectly con
cerned In the crime.
Message on the Recount Bill.
Governor Hughes gave the legislat
ure another surprise by sending to both
houses a special message calling at
tention to the recommendation in his
message of last January in favor of a
recount of the ballots cast in the Ale-Clellan-Hearst
mayoralty election of
1903 in New York city; urging that
the bill be passed without unnecessary
delay; expressing the opinion that
When passed It should be sent to May
or McClellan for approval, and rocom
mending tnat tne legislature postpone
Its final adjournment until the bill be
comes a law.
The direct result of the governor's
message was the possibly Indefinite
postponement of final adjournment.
With the probable struggle over reap
portionment of senate districts, de
velopments in connection with the re
count proposition might keep the leg
islature in session until the middle of
next month.
Bomb Exploded In Ash Can.
A terrific and mysterious explosion
In crowded Mott street In New York
ceriously injured eight Chinamen,
throe of them possibly fatally, and
struck terror to the hearts of hundreds
in the crowded quarter.
A few days ago there was a celebra
tion in the Italian quarter and the po
lice believe that one of the aerial
bombs used on that occasion found Its
way into an ash can and was mysteri
ously discharged while the can was
standing on the sidewalk.
When the explosion came the street
was filled with pedestrians and romp
ing children. An ash can which had
been standing near the curb had disap
peared and every person on the street
within a radius of 50 feet was thrown
to the ground.
Three Officials Assassinated.
Following the assassination of three
police officials at Odessa, Russia, se
tious rioting has occurred and the
Black Hundreds were running wild
through the streets) mercilessly beat
ing people, particularly Jews, more
than a hundred of whom were serious
ly injured soon after the disturbance
began.
The police apparently remained pas
sive spectators of the disorder. No
arrests were made and the Black Hun
dreds continued their work of revenge
unchecked.
The tragedy which led to the riot
ing was as follows: While the super
intendent of police and other officials
were in the central police bureau in
the morning two men and a girl en
tered the building, deposited an Infer
nal machine in the office and hurried
away. The machine exploded almost
Immediately afterward, killing the
chief of police and the two chief de
tectives of this city. They were blown
to pieces and seven other persons were
seriously injured. The police pursued,
fired at, wounded and captured the two
terrorists but the girl who was with
them escaped. The leader of the ter
rorists was subsequently Identified as
a man named Tcherthoff.

Haywood Murder Trial.

all peremptory challenges will be
used seven more jurors must be found.

DUKE OF THE ABRUZZI
Visit to Mayor McClellan at the
City Hall.
Reception of Duke on Governor's Is
land Salute of 21 Guns Frequent
Changes of Uniform Made It Diffi
cult For Secret Service Men to Keep
Royal Visitor In Sight.
New York, May 28. The Due des
Abruz.i, cousin' of King Victor Em
manuel of Italy, commanding the Ital
ian squadron sent to the Jamestown
xposition, gave New York an oppor
tunity to witness the titled Italian's
energy which nearly carried him to
the North pole and helped him to pen
etrate unexplored Africa.
After a visit to Mayor McClellan at
the City hall, and a luncheon and a re
:eption given by Major General and
Mrs. Frederick D. Grant at Governor's
Island in the afternoon, the duke closed
i lively day of social functions a3
guest of honor at a dinner given at
night by Count Massiglia, the Italian
:onsul general, at the Waldorf-Astoria.
The social campaign seemed to rest
lightly upon the duke and after his
visit to Mayor McClellan, he hurried
to the office of Consul General Massig
lia, where he changed his full dress
uniform of captain in command of a
squadron to the uniform of a captain
in command of a ship. The duke was
carefully guarded on his trip through
the city streets by four United States
secret service men. While going brisk
ly to the Governor's Island ferry at
noon his automobile nearly upset a
furniture van. Only the quickness of
the chauffeur prevented an awkward
accident.
Shortly before 10 a. m. a little lead
colored launch darted up to the star
board gangway of the Italian cruiser
Varese, lying at anchor in tho Hud
son, wrapped in mist and drizzle. The
duke, accompanied by two aides,
boarded the launch and was taken to
the landing dock. There tho party
entered an electric vehicle. The duke's
valet struggled along with two heavy
suit cases which were put Into a sec
ond motor car.
The order was given to proceed to
the office of the consul general, but the
power In the machine almost gave out
and a slow run was made to a gar
age where the guest and his aides took
another machine.
Count Massiglia met his famous
countryman at the consul general's
office and then, accompanied by
mounted police, the party was driven
to City hall, where the duke was ush
ered into the mayor's office and intro
duced to Mayor McClellan. The visit
was most Informal.
The consul general's office was re
visited and when the duke reappeared
an admiring crowd saw that the bril
liant uniform the duke wore to the City
hall hud given way to a plain one.
The transition nearly caused tho
watchful secret service men to lose
sight of the royal visitor. Count Mas
siglia did not go to Governor's Is
land. The guest and his party were met at
the Battery by Captain Bowley, aide
to Major General Grant, who escorted
them aboard the ferryboat. Here the
duke and his aides were Introduced to
a party of ladies who had been invited
to luncheon. Drizzling rain was full
ing when the ferryboat reached Gov
ernor's Island dock and the bright uni
forms of Major General Grant and the
receiving party on the dock contrasted
sharply with the rainsoaked surround
ings. A salute of 21 guns was fired
and General Grant made his guests
welcome. The duke looked at the sky
and then at all the gold lace and ob
served :
"I bring bad weather with me."
The party passed through the
grounds, which had been decorated for
the occasion with International code
flags, to General Grant's house, where
they posed for the photographers. The
luncheon was Informal. Besides tho
iluke and his aides (he quests were
Mrs. Stephen II. Klkins and .Miss Kath
erine Klkins, the .Misses McCook,
daughters of Colonel John J. McCook.
and Miss Alexander.
The reception to the duke at Gover
nor's Maud was nttended by Rear Ad
miral Joseph B. Coghlun and staff of
the United Stutes navy, Rear Admiral
Thlery and his stalf and officers from
the French armored cruisers Kleber
and Victor Hugo and Commodore Von
I'leskott and staff and oftlrers of tho
Austrian squadron Snnkt. George and
Aspern. The rain wrr falling In tor
rents and the officers were drenched
Is they walked to the officers' club,
where the reception was held.
After the reception the duke board
ed the ferry boat and at the Battery
took nn automobile up town to tho
boat landing near the Varene.
