Hi Death Blotted Out Untold SUy of the Murder of Mrs. Edith May Woodill, a Young Woman With Whom He Had Become Infatuated. Induced HIc Victim to Write a Let ter Which He Mailed at Baltimore After Her Death. No pursuit of an accused assassin Mas ever attended with more thrllllng ly picturesque surroundings than that which ended in the death of "Lame Bob" Eustmnn of New York, who had been known during his short resi dence at St. Michaels, Md., as Em met E. Roberts. Eastman had simply transposed his name Robert Emmet Eastmnn to Emmet E. Roberts. The man disappeared late Wednes day evening, following the discovery of the body of Mrs. Edith Woodill nnd its identification. Suspicion had point ed to him from the very first, for ho was the person with whom she had last been aoen. Eastman made ef forts to leave Me Dan lei Wednesday, but was warned that he had better re main to rwfutp the charges thnt were being iniKie against him. Saying he could be found at his bungalow when wanted. Eastman disappeared. A miss ing skilf from the home of a neighbor told the Btory of his flight. All day Thursday sheriff's posses were on the search. No trace of the missing man could be found. Late Thursday night, however, John W. McQuay, who lives four miles from McDiinlol, on Harris creek, on of the estuaries of Chesapeake bay, heard In the stillness of the night the soft, rhythmic splash of onrs far out on the block waters. He called but there was no answer. Rowing wearily up the stream, the ninn at the oars pnld no heed. McQuay frantically sum moned help by telephone. A posse answered, and then began the stealthy trailing of Eastman through the wat ers to his doom. For hour after hour Eastman, Buf fering the tortures of the dRnined foi want of food und water during the night and day of his hiding In the nmrsheB of the many shallow tidal st renins which put in from the bay, tried to shake oil his pursuers. Clad in a blue ilannol shirt and dark trous ers, he was a far less conspicuous fig ure than were the members of the shei Ill's crew, who all wore white shirts. In and out of the winding stream Eastmnn led the way. He evidently whs making for McDanWi, nenr the headwaters of the creek, where he hoped to stenl a team and escape. Ills rowing became more and more painful nnd his progress was so slow at last thnt the pursuers passed him in the durkness. Not sure thnt the men In the other boat were on his trail, Eastman con tinued upstream until at last he had reached a point just off the home of Colonel Thompson and of the girl who had met death while with him. Here the stream narrows sharply nnd the sprt was selected by the posse to make a stand. From the tall grasses of the shore they called to Eastmnn to surrender. Twice the call was re peated without answer. Then came the flash of a revolver. It had been aimed by Enstman at his awn heart and the bullet had done its work. Thinking the shot had been pent nt them In an attempt to resist arrest, the posse returned the fire and chiimed at first thnt it was their fusil lade which had caused the man to crumple and fail In a heap to the bot tom of the lit Me craft. The question of whether Eastman died by his own hands or as n result of the fire of the pursuing party was not settled until hite in the day when a coroner's Jury after securing all the evidence and the reports of examining phvslclnns. decided that Eastman had taken his own life.

Inspector McCafferty said In sub stance: "We shall catch the murderer. De lay does not alter that, although it rhafos us. The whole country Is one vast rat trap with every exit guarded. "The girl was killed between 10 o'clock In the morning and noon of June 9, and we believe Leon Ling Is the man who did It, with Chung Sing, his Intimate, as a possible accomplice. We have Chung Sing. From his room In Eighth avenue, Leon Ling went straight to Washington and there sent the 'Don't worry' telegram signed 'Elsie. received on the night of the murder by the Slgel family. "From Washington he returned to New York and somewhere about mid night of June 9 tocc the body In a trunk to Newark, arriving there about 2 a, m. on June 10. - We don't know how he took It. That leg of the Journey has not been accounted for. "All available records of the vari ous taxlcab companies have been searched, but there are many private ly owned machines which keep no rec ords.

"Unable to dispose of his trunk, Leon returned to New York with the body on the afternoon of June 10 and left It In his room. From that mo ment we lose all trace of him. So far as we know, he had no other possible accomplice than Chung Sing. We do hot know what became of the clothes not found on the body. There is no evidence to show that they were ever taken to Harlem. "No other murder that I can remem ber has attracted such wide Interest or such enthusiastic cooperation on the part of the police of other cities. All the forces of the country are working us one great machine. We fiave 50 men of our own In the cities sf the East.

DEATH OF J. W. DURHAM One of the Most Powerful and Popular of Political Leader. Philadelphia, June 29. State Sen ator Israel W. Durham, 53 years old, one of the most powerful as well as most popular political leaders who ever held sway In Philadelphia, died suddenly of heart disease at his sum mer home In Atlantic city yesterday afternoon. Senator Durham was tlie undisputed head of the Republican organization in this city from 1896 to 1905, but he gradually relinquished the reins of leadership, his friend and business associate, James P. McNichol, becom ing his successor. "Is" Durham, as he was familiarly hnown, was liked by all classes. He rose to almost national political prom inence from the ranks. He learned the trade of bricklayer and served In IKilitlcB as division worker, then ward leader and next as city leader. He was a follower of the late Senator Quay, to whose friendship he owed much. United States Senator Boll Penrose was a friend and neighbor of Mr. Durham and acknowledges his debt of gratitude to the man who fought many winning political battles In his Interest. Recently Mr. Durham purchased large Interest In the Philadelphia Na tional League baseball club. He was a bachelor. Because of their belief that he was "a square" man In K)lltlcs, all classes of citizens rallied to his banner. This was strikinglv exemplified in 1H9A when he led a revolt against the dom inant Republican leader, David Mart in, and accomplished the election of Alexander Crow, Independent Republi can, as sheriff over the late Samuel H. Ashbrldge. the regular Republican nominee. This made Mr. Durham the undisputed leader of his party in the city and for nine years he enjoyed a power that was almost despotic In Its completeness. In 190" the city was electrified by the action of Mayor John Weaver In revolting ngalnst the power of Mr. Durham and his associate In the lead ership, James P. McNichol. Previ ous to this Mr. Durham's health had begun to fall and he became less active politically, leaving Mr. McNich ol to fight alone the battles of the organization against reform element. For a time Hip latter were on top but the election of John E. Reyburn as mayor to succeed Mr. Weaver again placed the regulars In command.
