FIRED Two of Them Toole Effect, One Throngli the Jaw, the Other Went Through the Heart. It has been settled beyond a reasonable doubt that Annie Dorman, whose body was found in a second-story room at Mill Farm, on the terminus of Market street, Wednesday afternoon, committed suicide, although a known motive is lacking.

There were two wounds upon the body. A pistol ball had entered beneath the right side of Miss Dorman's jaw, another had pierced her heart. The former bullet was removed by Dr. S. R.

Crouthers, of Chester, last night. It did not make a fatal wound. The bullet through the heart must have caused instant death. Five shots had been fired from the revolver used by Miss Dorman. Bullets from two of these lodged in the ceiling, the third in the wall.

Coroner Muchelt, of Delaware county, and Dr. Crouthers, his physician, arrived at Mill Farm about o'clock last evening and made a post-mortem examination. It resulted in finding every organ in the dead girl's body normal and that the suicide theory was the only tangible one. There were no marks of violence upon Miss Dorman. She had not been ravished.

The inquest will be held to-day, and Saturday morning the body is to be taken to Millborough, where the dead girl's father, Abraham Dorman, now resides. CAUSE A MYSTERY. The cause of the suicide is a mystery. Miss Dorman was apparently one of the happiest girls in the neighborhood. She was also one of the prettiest, and, so far as is known, she had no trouble.

On Sunday evening Miss Dorman went to church with Earnest Pendleberry, who had been going to see her for a year. She was very lively then. Nothing wrong was Annie Dormana noticed by 'her half. brother, John Dorman, or his 'wife during" the week, and when the latter came to Philadelphia Wednesday morning her sister-in-law was in high spirits. Her gayety was also noticed at dinner by a number of mill hands who board there.

John Dorman worked on the lawn at Sellers' Mansion, Sixty-seventh and West Chester avenue, all day. It was after 4 o'clock when he returned home and went into the house to call his wife and Annie. Receiving no reply he went into the stable and began the milking. While Dorman was there his 7-year-old daughter ran into the stable and told him that her Aunt Annie was lying in her. room all covered with blood and that she refused to answer to her name.

Dorman dropped his work, hurried up stairs and there discovered his half; sister weltering in her blood. She was coia. a. hair upturned rug was the only sign of a struggle. In a few I minutes William H.

Rust, a wno lives near by, was upon the ground. Knowing of no motive for suicide, the family suspected that murder had been committed, and it was not until last night that the murder theory was dissolved. BRADY'S CARNIVAL OFF PniliHtn' Promised Were Like a Lot of Old Car Horses, Special to The Inquirer. NEW YORK, Sept. 2.

The statement is made on very good authority that the carnival of sports that William Brady proposed holding at Reno, Nevada, the latter part of October, has been declared off. The reason given is that Brady found it impossible to arrange the card that he had in hand, and rather than go ahead with an inferior program it was thought best to call the affair off. Brady had the promise of the Sharkey-Maher fight for his carnival, and it was to be the main attraction. Both Sharkey and Maher had given Brady their word right after their meeting in the Palace Athletic Club that they would not fight before any other club than Brady's. When it came down to signing Sharkey and Maher.

some three weeks ago, Mr. Brady found things altogether different from what he was led to believe they would be. Instead of having the match "cinahed," as he thought, Brady found that it was impossible to get the Maher end without throwing in a few Klondike gold mines as an extra inducement to secure the Irishman's signature. Rather than lose the match Brady gave way to all the demands made" by Buck Connolly, but even then Maher's representative refused to sign articles, stating that he did not know where the Irish champion if he did sign for Maher, the latter would insist on two months training. This would bring the fight off in the month of November, and as Nevada weather compares very favorably with that of Alaska, Mr.

Brady very wisely gave up his idea, so the story goes. Maher wasn't the only one who disappointed Brady. McCoy has had a hand in the business also. Brawny thought, and he had good reason to think, that he had McCoy "pat," but the latter no sooner got a few thousand miles away from his manager than he announced that in the future he would do all the managing himself, and that he had no further connection with the Brady syndicate With Sharkey and Maher out. Brady proposed to malce McCoy and Creedon the star attraction.

McCoy has signed with a syndicate of Wall street brokers to box Creedon for a purse of $12,000, the fight to take place the latter part of October. The gentleman who has the arranging of the Creedon-McCoy bout says that he will give out the date and place just as soon as the Ryan-McCoy contest is decided.

The witness told him he might expect to be arrested. Griehenow said that when he first met Luetgert the latter asked him if he had a warrant for him. The witness said Leutgert shook him by the hand, and said, "You are my friend. Do what you can for me." When the trial was resumed this afternoon Gordon B. Clark, salesman for Lord, Owen Company, wholesale druggists, testified that in March last Luetgert purchased of that firm a barrel of caustic potash and fifty pounds of arsenic.

The articles were delivered at the Luetgert factory. George Nelson, shipping clerk for the drug firm, corroborated the testimony of Mr. dark. SCHUETTLER TESTIFIES. The feature of the afternoon session was the testimony of Captain Schuettler.

Captain Schuettler said he was first informed of the disappearance of Mrs. Luetgert on May 7 by Diedrlch Bicnese, her brother, and Fred Miller. They gave him a description of the missing woman. That night the captain said he detailed officers on the case. The captain said that he and Lieutena-nt Hutchinson visited Leutgert at his home.

Luetgert was asked to tell his theory of his wlfe'a disappearance and he told the officers he believed she was insane and had wandered away. He said she had been acting strangely for, some time. The witness asked Luetgert why he had not notified the police Instead of keeping silent. Luetgert said he felt It was a disgrace to him and his children that his wife had become lnsane and did not like to tell about it. He said he had last seen his wife shortly after 10 o'clock the night of her disappearance before he went to the factory for the night.

The witness then told of the visit of himself. Inspector Schaak and a number of officers to the sausage factory, the examination of the smoke houses and vats and the finding of the bones In tha middle vat. The rings, one a plain gold wedding ring, and the other a guard ring, were put In evidence. The captain said the police had received letters, most of them anonymous, stating that Mrs. Luetgert had been seen wandering near Kenosha and he sent two officers to Investigate.

The officers discovered no trace of Mw. Luetgert. Attorney Phalan pressed the wltnes further about trips which he himself had taken in the Luetgert case and the captain said he had gone to New York to Investigate a rumor that Mrs. Luetgert had been seen there May 8. Chief of Polloe Klpley, the witness said, had received a message from the New York police that a man whose name was Grat-ty had met Mrs.

Luetgert on Broadway. Gratty, it was said, was a lover of Mrs. Luetgert before her marriage to the sausage maker and had met her on Broadway. The captain said he had not gone to New York to find out whether Mrs. Luetgert had been there or -not.

He did not believe she was alive on May 8, but he went to find out something about Gratty so that if he appeared aa a witness In, the oase to give perjured testimony his testimony could be met. Judge Vincent asked to have the statements as to the object of the cap tain's visit to New York stricken out, but the court said the defense had called It out. There was a wrangle between the attorneys, in the midst of which the court adjourned for the day. Judge Tuthill said he would either strike out all the testimony concerning the trip to New York or have the whole story told to the Jury.

Open evenings. Persists in His Refusal to Give oopy ot testimony the Wilson Inquest in BOOKS MAY BE EXAMINED Stuyvesandt's Lawyers Say the Ie-fnsal Will Only Delay Their Application for aWrit of Habeas Corpus for Their Client. Coroner Ashbridge did not reply as hotly as he might have done yesterday to the letter of Attorneys Wheeler and Murray, with regard to his refusal to furnish a copy of the testimony taken in the Wilson murder inquest. On the contrary, he wrote in an even-tempered way: "Replying to your letter of the 1st making a request for an official copy of the stenographic notes of the inquest held upon the body of William C. Wilson, would say that a copy will be furnished the.

District Attorney, who has upon previous occasions advised me not to place in the hands of attorneys evidence prepared for the Commonwealth. All of the records and books of this office are open for your examination and copying the same, as they are to all citizens alike. I sent to you on Tuesday last a typewritten list of all the witnesses who were examined at the inquest, together with their addresses." After the receipt of this reply Mr. Wheeler did not hesitate to say that the Coroner was now treating him in a courteous manner, though he did not wish to imply that Mr. Ashbridge had meant on Wednesday any personal disrespect.

MAY STAY IN JAIL. It was reported yesterday-Sose to the Coroner's office that no application would be made for a writ of habeas corpus. This was most earnestly denied last night by both Messrs. Murray and Wheeler. The latter said: "It is true that the first refusal to give us a copy- of the testimony changed our plans.

We wHl eventually be able to obtain the desired matter, and though it entail considerable expense, we chiefly regret the necessary loss of time that has resulted. We, however, expect to proceed without further delay on Monday or by Tuesday at the latest. "Do you believe It to be true that the authorities have some evidence which has not been revealed and that even the newspapers are ignorant of?" "I do not. Every effort has been made Jn certain directions to connect the man with the crime, and I feel warranted In saying they have all failed. The case could not have gone as far, as it has done without such a fact being made public.

The newspapers have followed out more clues than the Police Department could have found time to do. I know that there was a big newspaper hunt on the Stuyvesandt theory and that nothing came of it. Had there been anything in the suspicion against him some newspaper would have got hold of it." THE DEFENSE FUND. Regarding the fund which is to be raised for the defense among the members of colored congregations Lawyer Murray said yesterday: "I have heard of it, but cannot tell you how it is progressing. In fact.

I do not know the name of the treasurer." Just here Mr. Wheeler said: "There is one little point to which I would like to call the attention" of the public. We have been criticised because we went before the colored pastors and made addresses In behalf of our client. We did it in all honesty, though In thus helping the movement" towards the raising of such a subscription our main object was falsely said to be to insure fees' for ourselves, the prisoner being unprovided with any financial means. Such a purpose as has thus been intimated has been furthest from our thoughts.

We would stand by Stuyvesandt if we were absolutely certain that there would not be a penny of recompense for our services." The administrators of Major Wilson, the murdered librarian, are now in possession of the building on Walnut street. During yesterday employes were being engaged in taking account of the stock. When this has been completed the establishment, it is said, will be reopened. Hundreds of books, which were in circulation on the day of the murder, have not been returned and cannot be accounted for because of the slipshod business methods of the late proprietor. Subscribers who happen to be relic-hunters are preserving them as mementos of the grim tragedy.

Mrs. Young yesterday visited Lawyers Wheeler and Murray. Her only object, Mr. Murray afterward was to send a message to Stuyvesandt. She left the lawyer's office to go home and cook a dinner to take to the prison.

A CRANK'S LETTER Lieutenant Tomlinson Given a Cine in the Wilson Case. "Fake" detectives and anonymous letter writers are bothering the police of the Twentieth and Federal streets station house. After Crossney's release on Wednesday morning Lieutenant Tom-linson recelveu a badly blotted letter, written in a scrawling hand, the writer signing the initial The letter reads tenant Tomlinson: Sir You have the right man at last. There were two others with him on the Wilson murder. All of them were white, but they were disguised as colored men.

You want to have the woman who was dusting the adjoining house. She saw the men and heard the signal. If she would tell the truth she would tell you how they got In. They had a ladder. Frederick Crossney Is the ring-leader.

If you search his yard you are sure to find the watch stolen from the murdered man hidden there beneath the brick. Stuyvesandt is innocent of the charge." Lieutenant Tomlinson turned the letter over to Superintendent Linden, who in turn submitted it to Director Riter. It was then: returned i to the Lieutenant with instructions to make an investigation. The police thinlt that the letter was written by a crank. MERCHANTS VICTIMIZED Stranger Palmed Off Two Boarns Ten Dollar Bills.

Two business firms of Frankford have been victimized by counterfeit money. They are sufferers to the extent of about $10 apiece. On Tuesday night a man walked into the store of A. and R. Ellison, of 4664 Frankford avenue, and made a trifling purchase, for which he laid down a $10 bilL Change was promptly made, and he departed.

Wednesday night the same man entered the drug store of Dr. Davis, at Frankford avenue and -Foulkrod streets, and repeated the same proceedings. Yesterday morning the proprietors of both places discovered that the $10 were bogus. The matter was reported to the Frankford police, and a description was given of the man. He is about 45 years old, has a heavy sandy mustache, prominent teeth, and wore dark clothes.

NOT TALKING FOR MONEY Witness Odorofsky Says His Evidence In the Mnrder Case Was Prompted by His Conscience.

Special to The Inquirer. CHICAGO, Sept. 2. have fuiiy made up my mind to go on the witness btand t-rXi defend Judge Vincent has consented. I don't intend to sit idly here and permit that jury to render a verdict until they have heard rne tel! my side of the story." Adolrh L.

Luetgert, the accused wiie-murderer, made the foregoing announcement lust before the trial was resumed b-fore Judge Tuthill, tMs morning. He said he had listened to the recital of Mrs. Tosoh, Watchman Bialk and Frank Odorofsky and the statements made by these witnesses, he said, were so misleading that he must answer them. "The attorneys for the prosecution think they have made a strong point," said Luetgert, "in showing that the middle vat was covered the niijh- of May 1. That can all be explained when I get on the stand.

There are alwavs two sides; to a story, and what hurts me is that the jurors will have the wrong tide in their minds for a week or two before we get a chance to sav anything LUETGERT VMS INDIFFERENT. The indifference of Luetgert after his wife had disappeared was the principal fact brought out against him to-day. It was shown by the testimony of Police Captain Herman Schuettler that Luetgert did nor. show any concern regarding his wife, and never took the trouble to ask the jxlice whether they had found any trace of her cr not. On one occasion he called at the police station to protest against an article in a daily paper saying that his first wife had not died a natural death.

The police at this time were dragging the river, poking into clay holes and patrolling the lake shore in the hooe of finding seme trace of the missing woman, but Luetgert, after he had complained of tha paper, left the station without even asking if the police had found any trace of his wife. When the col ee first became aware of the disappearance of Mrs. Lu-stgert through her brcther, they asked Luetgert what theory he had regarding her disappearance, and he said that in his opinion she had become insane and had wandered away from home. He had not reported her going away either to the police or his neighbors, because he said that it was a disgrace to have an insane wife, and he did not want people to know anything about it. Captain Schuettler said that in all the work the police did on the case before the arrest of Luetgert, they never received any help or suggestions from the husband.

MANY CURIOUS SPECTATORS. The threatening weather during the morning did not have the effect oF decreasing the number of curiosity seekers who tried to crowd into the court room. Nine-tenths of the number were fashionably dressed and fully one-half of the visitors were women. This morning the line of visitors was longer than usual, extending to the floor below the court room It tcek Mr. Deneen several minutes to maice his way through the crowd Frank Odorofsky, the Pole wh had charge of the smoflehouse and who cleaned out the vat in which Luetgert is said to have thrown his wife 3 body was again placed on the stand.

State's Attorney Deneen continued with the examination of the witness, svho repeated the statement that he had lound pieces of flesh and pieces of lone in the vat when he cleaned 't out under Loetgert's instructions. NOT TESTIFYING FOR MONEY. The court opened with Frank Odorofsky, Luetgerfs smoke house man still in the witness chair. Yesterday Odorofsky gave his testimony In German. This morning he abandoned that language for Polish, his native tongue, and a new interpreter was necessary.

His direct testimony was concluded in a few minutes, the State showing him a tin box containing caustic soda Thi the witness said, was like the stuff which he took from a barrel in the shipping room and under the direction of Luetgert broke up and placed In the middle vat. Odorofsky was turned over to the defense for cross-examination and Attorney Vincent questioned him first about his connection with the police since the arrest of Luetgert. The witness said an officer has been with him nearly all the time. No money, he said, has been given him and no position promised him, but his wife has received money from Inspector Schaack, "just a few cents" said Odorofsky, "to keep body and soul together. I am not giving my testimony for money, but for conscience." Odorofsky, In his cross-examination, was subjected to severe questioning with the object of showing that there were discrepancies between his testimony on various points and statements and what he had given at Luetgerfs preliminary bearing and the habeas corpus proceedings before Judge Gibbons.

The smoke house man declared candidly that on those former occasions he had been examined in German, a language which he does not speak. Many of the questions, he said, he did not understand thoroughly, but had answered to the best of his ability. To all of Attorney Vincent's questions about former testimony he answered that be did not remember what he said. Odorofsky said he only took about half a shovelful of the red substance out of the vat. He did not scrape out the vat or examine its bottom thoroughly.

The cross-examination came to an end much earlier than was expected and Odorofsky was permitted to go. HANDLED THE SODA. Frank Lewandowaski, also a Pole, was called next. He is at present employed as a laborer by the Northwestern Railway. Lewandowaski was employed in the Luetgert factory up to May last, when the Sheriff took possession.

His work was the boiling and wrapping of hams, and to distinguish him from the other Frank, Odorofsky was called "Smoky Frank." He had the nickname of "Ham Frank." Lewandowaski' testimony was mainly corroborative of that of Odorofslty. He assisted the latter in bringing up the caustic soda and putting it in the vat. When he saw that Odorofsky burned his hands with the stuff, the witness said he covered his hands with rags, and put a cloth over his face to protect himself. The witness assisted Odorofsky in cleaning the floor about the vat the Monday following the 1st of May. He said he examined the red substance which had come from the vat and found it had an offensive smell.

There were two smoke house doors near the vat which were wet and had this red substance them, showing that they had been used to cover the vat. There were also a number of sacks near the vat, some of them hanging on the vat next to the one in which it is alleged the body of Mrs. Luetgert was destroyed. These sacks were wet, and It Is the theory of the prosecution that Luetgert used them and the doors to cover the vat and Increase the heat. Lewandowaski was cross-examined briefly without changing his testimony, mnii wa riod in the wltnea rhair by Detective Charles Griehenow, of the Two Portraits to Be Unveiled in Independence Hair Next WeeW.

Daring the Work of Rescue a Spectator Was Knocked Down Nixon Seriously Hurt. Charles Nixon, colored, aged 25 years, who resides in the neighborhood of Seventeenth and Brown streets, is lying unconscious in St. Timothy's Hospital with several of his ribs and left arm fractured, besides being seriously injured internally. He may die before morning. Nixon, with a score of other men, was employed in excavating a sewer trench on RIpka avenue, Manayunk.

At 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon while the gang was working on the bottom course, more than twenty feet be-! low the surface, both sides of the trench for a distance of fifteen feet caved in. The others managed to escape, but Nixon was caught and pinioned against a sharp rock and was buried up to his shoulders. Although the rest of the sides of the trench threatened to fall in at any mo ment several of Nixon's fellow-workmen jumped down into the narrow trench and began to shovel the earth from around him. Their eagerness to rescue their companion overcame their judgment and it was not till Driver Charles Rousher, of the Manayunk police patrol wagon, which had been summoned, threw off his coat and hat and jumped into the trench, where he worked hero ically and superintended the others in their work for fully half an hour, that they fastened a rope' around Nixon's body and gave the word to those above to "hoist away." Nixon was semi-con scious while the work of rescuing him was going on and at times cried pite-ously for the men to hurry and save him from being killed. He was placed i-n the patrol wagon and driven to the hos pital.

The cave-in occurred in front of the house of Contractor Joseph. B. Atkinson, who Is doing the work and who is confined to his bed in an extremely critical condition suffering from several large carbuncles on his neck. While the crowd which filled the street was watching the work of rescue two cows that were being driven along the avenue took fright and ran furiously through the crowd. One of them ran against and knocked down Mrs.

Mary Ann Jones, aged 75 years, of Winchester street, near Ripka avenue, while walking on the sidewalk. She was taken to her home suffering from severe contusions on her chest and back, aa well as from shock. Dog Bit His Thumb.

Harvey's Clothing Ignited From an Oil Stove. Xeigrhoors Heard Her Screams and Pnt Ont the Kire, Bat Not Before She Was Terrihly Burned. A leak in an oil stove was responsible for an exDlosion lar.t evening- at 2220 Norris street, and as a result Mrs. Eliza Harvey is lying fatally burned at the German Hospital. Mr.

and Mrs. Harvey, who have not been married long, occupy a suit of rooms on the second floor of the house. where they have provisions for cook-. ing a light meal. Shortly after his supper last evening Mr.

Harvey left to take a short spin on his bicycle. his parting injunction to his wife be ing that she should be careful in handling of the stove, which had only been in the house one day. Mrs. Har vey concluded after her husband had been absent from the house some time that she would prepare something hot for him on his return. She lit the stove but did not notice that there was a leak, and while she was bending over it the tank exploded with a terrible noise, sending the burning oil in streams over her light dress.

In a minute she was encompassed in a per fect sheet of flame. There was no one in the house at the time, but her ago nized screams could be heard for squares away. A neighbor heard her cries and rushing up stairs was met at the head of the stairs by the burn ing woman who was now running about In a vain attempt to put out the flames. It was the work of a minute to wrap Mrs. Harvey in a blanket and smother the fire that was consuming the small portion of her clothes that were not already de stroyed.

The ambulance of the Park and Lehigh avenue station was summoned and the unconscious woman was taken as quickly as possible to the German Hospital. In the meantime the drapery of the room had fire and it took some very hard work on the part of the neighbors to extinguish the flames that threatened the total destruction of the house. When Mrs. Harvey reached the hospital she was unconscious and the doctors worked with all their power to restore the slight spark ot life that was still there. Every square inch of flesh on the woman's body was scorched and it was in the opinion of the physicians the worst case of burning that has been brought into the hospital for years.

Hardly had Mrs. Harvey been placed in a cot when the frenzied young husband, who had heard of the accident through the nei-bors, arrived on his wheel, but his wife was too far gone to recognize him. At a late hour last night Mrs. Harvey was still living, but her death is expected hourly, as she inhaled the flames, which is always fatal.
