Last evening the attorney went to Judge Murphy's home, and secured the release of Gunnell upon his own recognizance. Gunnell Admitted to Ball.

Gunnell was arraigned before Judge Murphy in police court at 10 o'clock this morning, but no plea was entered, as the case was adjourned until after the inquest, which will be conducted at the morgue on Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock by Medical Examiner Danser.

According to Gunnell, Prof. Ward started to cross Delaware avenue, then hesitated and attempted to turn back. By this time the machine was so near that Gunnell says be was unable to stop it. Prof. Ward then grabbed one of the automobile lamps in a frantic effort to save himself from being run down.

The lamp was torn from the machine and dropped to the pavement. Then the momentum of the machine swung Prf. Ward around and head downward in frrnt of the automobile. Apparently Prof Ward was run over and then dragged for some distance before his body rolled out from under the machine. His head and shoulders gave evidence of dragging over the pavement, and his beard was smeared with grease from the motor.

Identification at the hospital came from a book which Prof. Ward had been carrying, and which was found a few feet from his body. It was the second volume of the autobiography of Andrew D.Whito, and contained Prof. Ward's name and address. Undertaker Edward L.

Brady took charge of the body until the arrival of Prof. Ward's son, who came from Rochester with his wife last evening. This morning they took the body back to Ro-chesier.

Henry Augustus Ward was born in Rochester. N. on March 9th, 1S34, and attended the Rochester schools for a short time. in life he went to Wyoming county to live on a farm. Later lie attended Temple Hill Academy in Geneseo, and afterwards spent a year in Williams College.

Then he entered the Lawrence Scientific School in Harvard University, and studied under the elder Agassir, whose assistant he after wards became. Prof. Ward began his collection of specimens of minerals, rocks and fossils while traveling abroad as a tutor of the late Charles Wadbworth. They travel ed all over Europe, crossed the Mediterranean to Egypt, visited Alexandria and Cairo and ascended the Nile to the sec ond cataract, which was a notable achievement in those days. That collec tion was douated by the elder Gen.

Wadsworth to the Buffalo Historical Society, and is still On exhibition as the ads worth Collection. After the return from this trip, Prof, Ward went to Faris and entered the 8chool of Mines, where he remained for five or six years, supporting himself by collecting and selling specimens. While In Paris he began a collection which afterwards became the property of the University of Rochester. Returning 'to Rochester, Prof. Ward became professor of natural sciences In the University of Rochester in 1800, which position he held for five years.

resigning to accept the appointment of superintendent of the Midas Gold Mln ing Company of Midasburg, Montana So successful was he In this work that be was called to a fine position with a gold mining company in South Carolina, but within a year decided to return to Kochester and set about the com pletion of bis collection. This work took him all over the globe, and there Is hardly a corner of the world to which he has not traveled in search of specimens. He circumnavl gated the globe two or three times and during the later years of his life he was never at home for any length of time. In 1R71 President Grant appointed Prof. Ward as naturalist for the United States expedition to Santa Domingo, which the government was then con templating purchasing.

Prof. Ward made five or aix trips to South America, and his last trip over the Andes was made a little more than a year ago. He returned borne by the way of the coast of Africa, Lisbon and Bordeaux. The late Judge Albion W. Tourgee waa consul at Bordeaux at that time, and as Judge Tonrgee had been a student under Prof.

Ward in the University of Rochester, the professor went to call ufton bis old friend. He was shocked to learn that Judge Tour- gee bad died the nlgbt before. For the past eight or nine years. Prof. Ward devoted the most of his attention to the collection of meteorites, and his collection was the largest private one In the world.

The German and Aus trian governments have the only collec tions excelling those of Prof. Ward. In thla country the only collection which in any way approximates that of Prof. Ward in value or size is that owned hv the Field Columbian Museum. Besides the son in Rochester, Prof.

Ward is survived by another son by bis first wife, Henry Levi Ward, who is director of the Milwaukee Public Mu seum. Prof. Ward's natural science estab lishment in Rochester is one of the largest and most complete of its kind in the world. St odd art Bros. Bargains.
