To Clinton street Miss Weeks went, but did not find the party she sought. Returning to the hall, she learned that in the interim the anxious mother had returned, but could not be induced to remain until Miss Weekj could come back.

ADMITS HE SHOT A MAN. Pennsylvania May Want a Prisoner Arrested in Brooklyn. Giovanni Cresta Is- Charged Here With Felonious Assault on James Boacha.

Word was received to-day that Giovanni Cresta. 30 years old. of 186 Olassoa avenue, was wanted in Pennsylvania for murder. Id fact. It was said that there were two', charges against him In that respect.

Cresta was. a prisoner in the Myrtle avenue court, on a charge of felonious assault, in beating James Boacha of 207 DeKalb avenue, on the head and face with a revolver on May 13. The alleged assault took place in Classen avenue, near Park, and Detectives Peirano and Santoro. of Lieutenant Va-' chris' staff, said that Cresta had admit ted to them that he had fired four times at Boacha. pointing the revolver at the latter's stomach.

Fortunately, tho revolver failed to go off and then Cresta, It Is alleged, used the revolver as a club and beat Boachu on the head and body. Cresta was taken before Magistrate Nau-mer. in the Myrtle avenue court, on May 14. The case was adjourned until to-day and the accused was held $2,000 hall. To-day the case was further put oft until May 26.

There la a "Black Hand" feature to the charge of felonious assault made by Boacha. According to Officers Peirano and Santoro. Cresta wrote a letter to Boacha demanding $100. The latter, instend of resnondina- in a financial way. simply requested Cresta to go ta a warmer climate than Italy.

Then me anegea attack followed. In the meantime word came from Pennsylvania that there was a possibility that Cresta might have to answer to two charges made by Quaker State officials of murder. A little later on an -official request came, asking Magistrate Naumer to hold the accused until officers arrived from Philadelphia. Court adjourned toon after and on the arrival of Detective William A. Esher of the Police Bureau in the, Philadelphia City Hall, the prisoner was sf'nt for and brought upstairs Into the court room, where he was subjected to an examination by the Philadelphia detective and the Italian officers.

Detective Esher said at once that Cresta did not answer to the description of a mysterious Italian, who was wanted for the murder of a fellow countryman In Cater street, between Seventh and Eighth streets. Detectives Peirano and Santaro said, however, that they were convinced that he was the man who shot a man dead In Chester, Delaware County, on April 13. 1906. They told the newspaper men that he had admitted that to them and when Cresta was stood up in the court room. in order that the officers might see him he confessed that he had shot a In Pennsylvania because the fellow hatl visited his shop and tried to rob him.

He had acted solely within his rights and as a matter of self-defense. He showed a wound in one of his hands as corrobo rative of this. He further said that he had lived at 750 South Ninth street, Phil adelphia. Cresta speaks very good Eng lish and he wrote his name in answer to a request for the same on the part of one of the officers. He is a medium sized man with the characteristic feat ures of countrymen of his class.

Detective Esher did not take him back to Philadelphia and there may be fur ther proceedings against him at a later date. NEGRO AND POLE FOUGHT.

Both men were employed in the stables of Jones Rublnger.

at Bergen, avenue and Fulton The Polak gave the negro an order which the latter resented. Hot words passod, and then the trouble began. In the course of the fight the negro grabbed up a stick and welted the Polak over the head, causing a scalp wound. About this time an officer appeared on the scene. He first sent for Ambulance Surgeon Jewett of Jamaica Hospital, who dressed the wound, and then, though both were willing to call the fight off.

funeral of Patrick Campbell, the old chief of the Brooklyn the niao whose frown or smile at one time dominated the. department and made rain or sunshine, were George Reynolds, one cf Inspector O'Reilly's plainclothes men Captain Thomas Cullen, in whose precinct the unoral services wore held; Captain Hayes of tho Bergen street station, i-ji four young patrolmen who had been deputed by Captain Cullen to see' to It that there was order at the church' and roundabout. Many the old fellows in active service had appar ently, forgotten all about C' and there was no guard of honor from the active force for the old chief, a fact that was duly noted by a sentimentalist. who said that the world's honors did not amount to much, anyway. 'in spite of the absence of the police men of to-day there was a rare outpour ing of the "old with gray hair and scant locks and wrinkled chefeics.

fact that tlie Rev; Father Belford of the Church of the Natiivty made a point of in his eulogium. to show that old friends were the best friends and that the man who held the friends ofhis youth was the man who had a true character." In 'his' old home, at 90 Her kimer where he had for twoscore of years, there were gathered some of the men who were with hiu in active service. Frederick L. Jenkins, his old confidential' secretary: Johl A. Casey.

Granville W. Harman, who was deputy commissioner; JohD Pyburn, commissioner of police in the old days; James Shev-lin. Judga James Troy, Bernard Gallagher. Michael Powers, an old time who was very close to the chief In the days when ha was the head of the local police system; John Rail, another of the old time detectives; Captain James Reynolds, fired out of the Police Department- by the now administration: William A. who was formely the superintendent ot tho Boiler Inspection Bureau; James Meaney.i who has been associated with Brooklyn's official history for years; Theophilus Olena, formerly- the president of tho Board of Aldermen; Captain Henry I.

Hayden. another of tho old commissioners; James D. Bell, who was also a commissioner of Brooklyn's Police Department; Colonel William Hester and many other people well kpown in the official history of tho Brooklyn of the past. The remains of the dead chief lay in a covered casket in the front parlor of the old homestead, at tho corner of Her kimer street and Nostrand avenue, embowered In flowers, although the request had been mado that flowers should be omitted. There were many beautitui pieces from Intimate friends and a huge cross of blooms, placed at the casket hv the widow, was the 'most prominent of thApieces.

It held a1 prominent place in ine cnurcu at iue There were no exercises at the home, but many of the old friends of the dead man innit fnrnwall of him there, and then Undertaker Duryea sealed the casket and the coffin was borne from the family home to the hoarse, and followed by the immediate members of the family, the aged widow with her only son. George, were taken to the church at. the corner of Classon avenue and Madison street. There a large crowd of people, but few officials, were gathered to pay a last tribute to the deadi Among them were a number of former police officials. Inspector Campbell, Thomas Humphrey, Robert Nelson, John Rail.

John Brady. John Connors. There were also present Peter W. Taylor, William Powers, William Grady, John Frost. Mannie Ammetrano, P.

J. Carlin. John Griffin. M.D.; Thomas Shevlln and others. The honorary pall bearers were General James Jourdin, Harry Lewis, Charles James Keenan, James Sbevlln.

Bernard Gallagher, Frederick L. Jenkins, Granville W. Harman, Frank McDermott, St. Clair McKelway and James Troy. There was a solemn requiem mass, the celebrant being the Rev.

John L. Belford, with Fathers Casnev and Essig as deacon and As the body was brought Into the church the "Mis-erese" was sung from the organ loft by picked double quartet. The -nusic of the mass, Wiegand's, was given under the direction of F. J. Green.

the organist and choirmaster of the church. The singers were Miss Gertrude Gallagher. Mrs. McCormick, Miss Mary Hen-nessy, Mrs. Kennedy, Frederick Davidson, H.

ft. Ray, J. Lloyd Wilson and F. J. Green.

The programme included the "Crucifix," by Ford, sung by F. Davidson and H. R. May. Knors.

and Messrs. Wilson and Green, bassos. At the close of the exercises the choir sang "Lead, Kindly Light," and as the coffin was borne out Mendelssohn's "Funeral March to a Hero" was played on the organ. There was a brief eulogy presented by Father Belford. He spoke of the lessons to be drawn from the life of the dead man.

"He was a silent man," said Father Belford. "a man of few words, who occupied in the community a position that was singularly trying. Few men couia have passed out of it as he did, with a character unsmirched, unassalled, with never one word of criticism against his administration. One of the eloquent tests his worth is the fact that he lived without breath of suspicion against his integrity or his honor. Another te-a-t his worth is the large number of his old friends who are here, and who have i followed his body to the church.

The presence of so many 1 wnite-hatred ami aged men Is evidence that his friendship was worth having. It is hard for a man public office to retain friends for years. You may do a man a thousand kindnesses and yet. If you fail to grant him a favor once he is your enemy for life: He will forget the kindnesses that have been done for the one favor that is not granted. The presence of these, this man's old friends, show that his friendship wmi valued.

He was not merely a good fam ily man. and a good public man, but a good churchman. He came here each Sunday, and even when his feeble and old limbs would bear him no longer, came here in a carriage and was supported to his pew. And when he was missed. ne Sunday, It was known that the end was near.

His religion was a lesson of the vitality of lalth and the In-spiriation that religion gives to every good man." The Interment was in the Cemetery of the Holy Cross.

With his mind unbalanced by oyer-stvly, Jacob Kokhinsky. a former Bovs High School student, became violently Insane this morning at the home of his parents, 271 South First street, and attacked them and other members of the family, first with a hatpin, and later with a largo carving knife. Fortunately, however, he was overpowered before he inflicted any serious Injury. The young man. who is 19 years old.

was bright and had a promising career before Ho had selected the profession t.f a physician, and during the seven terms he passed in the high school was close to the head of his class in his studies. He was not of a robust build, and, as a result of giving himself no time fo.r recreation his mind broke down under the strain, and because of his rather eccentric actions Dr. Sullivan the principal of the school, tiad his attention called to the young student's condition, and as a result, op March of last ysar bo was discharged. At that time be was given the kiDdly advice to discontiuuo further studies until his health was restored. His discharge did not have the effect intended, but rather the reverse, for stead or seeking to restore his health tho young man continued to devote his entire time to study.

His farther Simon, and his mother tried to persuade him to d'scontinua. but he refused, and at night he only stopped when his older brothors and sisters forcibly deprived him of his books. They had noticed his queer actions and vlowed them with alarm, as their hopes were centered in him, and tho entire family had deprived themselves of many necessities In order to have him continue his studies at the high school. Study had evidently become a settled mania for the young man. While his actions at times were queer, nothing of violent kind developed until a few days ago when he suddenly and without cause attacked a youngor The latter was passing the table, where his brother.

Jacob, was studying, when the older boy suddenly leaped to his feet and seized Hyman, the younger, by the throat. Ho might have choked the smaller boy had the two not been dragged apart. It was after this that the family decided to call in a physician, which was done, and the medicine prescribed kept the young man quiet until yesterday, when he-became violent again and went about the house overturning chairs and scowling at those who approached. Being Induced to take more, of the medicine prescribed, he remained quiet until this morning when his mother was aroused by the screams of her daughter, Tessie, 2 years old. who was sleeping with ber.

As the mother opened her eyes she was terrified to find her son armed with a hat pin. jabbing the point into different parts of the child's body. When she sprang from the bed her son attacked her. She managed to keep him off. and her shrieks brought her husband and other members of the family.

As the latter rushed Into the room Jacob attacked them and he fought his way out and. darting Into the kitchen, grabbed up a large carving knife, and with this In his haud returned with a murderous glitter in his eyes. Ho attacked his father, while the others stood aside spellbound by the sight. They were last brought to their senses by the struggle between father and son, and they closed In about the crazed youth and seized him from all sides, while they screamed for help. Policeman Sncdeker of the Bedford avenue station was passing the house when his attention was called to the shouts.

and, losing no time, he forced the lock the basement door and entered. He found the members of the family clinging to the boy, and when he took a hand the young man was quickly disarmed and overpowered. He was bound with rope while the policeman turned In a call for ambulance. Barnes responded from the Williamsburg Hospital, and after an examination pronounced the young man Insane, and advised his removal to tho observation ward of the Kings County He was first taken from the homo to the Bedford avenue station, and later removed to Flatbush in the police patrol wagon. Dr.

Sullivan, principal of the Boys High School, when spoken to this morning, said that Kolchinsky. while a student, was one of the brightest young men the school. He had completed seven terms when it was found he was suffering from overwork, and, further, that he was acting queer.1 Dr. Sullivan added that it was at his suggestion that the young man was discharged from the school.
