An unusually fiendish and mysterious murder, re fembling in many ways the barrel murdc-r, was dis covered yesterday on the top floor of a well kept tenement house at No. 238 East Thirtieth-st. A small boy named George Kelly entered the apart rr.fnts from the fire es<-ap" to shut off the faucet whfcfa was causing water to leak through the ceil ing into the apartments on the ground floor. The lad. who was sent through the window by the land lord of the premises. Gerried E. Moore, stumbled over the body of the occupant. Garbed M. Ken tooni. a Turkiab Armenian from Kharput. lying on the floor of the main room near the front door, which was bolted. - Policeman James F. Mooney. of the East Thirty fifth-st. station, was called, and he summoned Dr. Moore from Bellevue Hospital. The latter said that the man, who had been almost decapitated by a knife Blast) across the throat and had many stab wounds on the chest and body and a cut on the back of the neck ancs head, had been dead at least eight or nine hours. Ke said it was clearly a case of murder, because, the terrible gash across the ; throat, which penetrated bach to. the spinal col umn, fevered the jugular vein, and there were three deep stabs over the heart. Those were all fatal wounds, th<; surgeon said and could not pos fcibly have been self-inflicted. When Captain Shire arrived with o troop of ward detectives and found that the room door had beef) found bolted on the lr.side, he decided that Kentoonl had committed suicide. The. flre escape by hich the Kelly boy had entered could have been used by the assassin in making his escape in the darkness of the nis?bt. Two broken chairs were mute evidence of a struggle, as well as the blood spattered in all directions about the apart rr.fn T . A trunk was opened and had been earcned, as the tray with papers in it was lying on the floor with three blood stained knives which had been used in the butchery of the Armenian. Later on, after Coroner Scholer bad examined the body and declared that a foul murder had been committed, Captain Shire reluctantly abandoned his theory, and requested Inspector McClusky to aid him in the hunt for the assassin. Detective Sergeant MeCafferty was nssign«>d to co-operate with the precinct authorities-. ''j£ - FORMERLY HAD A COMPANION. Kentoor.l had re?ic!e<3 for nearly two year* in the house where he met his teatfa Across the hall lived an Italian known as P. Dilorenzo. lie is described as being a shoemaker, who also lived alone. The same flri escape coanects the apart ments of the two idpii or. the court side of the rear building. The landlord, who knew the murdered man sim ply as "the Armenian,*? told the police that Ken tooni was a stra ■ sort of a person, who was always pleading poven although he was a steady worker He said that for th<- first year the Ar menian had occupi the rooms hi had as a com panion it. fallow countryman who made candy in the apartments ai:d peddled it In tb« street.

Inspects Many Improvements in City Institution*. TENT COTTAGES INTEREST HIM. Th» commencement exercises of the Metropoli tan Hospital Training School for Nurses, on Blackwell's Island, yesterday, were made the occasion of an inspection by Mayor Low of all the improvements instituted by the Department of Public Charities In Its plants on the Island under the direction of Commissioner Homer Folks. Mayor Low arrived at the island in the af ternoon by th- Fifty-second-st. ferry where he was met by Commissioner Folks and the latter's secretary. Millard B. Ellison. For two hours he walked and drove in company with the com missioner ard the several superintendents and suboidinates in charge of the divisions of work of the department, from the addition of the nurses' quarters of the City Hospital Just about completed, on the southern end of the island, to the new convalescent hospital of the Metro politan ' Hospital. Just completed, on the upper end of the island, where the commencement ex ercises were held. Improvements made by Com missioner Folks at an expense of over SIOO.OOO, were shown to th? Mayor. After Inspecting: a flre escape, in the shape ef a corkscrew. Mayor Low inspected the renova tion .of the old City Hospital. Superintendent J. H. Shields, of the institution, leading the party through the wards. Mayor Low waa re ceived in all the wards with great interest by the patients who were able to take copnizance of his presence. One old Italian. Michael Coraffa, who has been in the hospital for some time with an affection of th* leg. attracted the Mayor's notice. Taking the old man's hand. Mayor Low said "l'm sorry you are ill. 'No speaka Ingr. ' said the Italian, but his eye beamed and he pressed Mr. Low's hr.nd. When he was told in Italian who his visitor was, Coraffa's eyes prew wide and he chattered in Italian, MAYOR TAKES DEEP INTEREST. Commissioner Folks Deal took Mayor Low to visit his hospital for consumptives. The renova itoTi of the old building and the addition of the outdoor tent life have been features of the ad ministration's policy. The patients, who were taking sun baths, look well for th- most part. It was Mayor Low's first visit, and he took deep interest in the whole place. Superintendent W. B. O'Rourke showed him about. The Hospital for Consumptives, opened in'con nection with the Metropolitan Hospital on Jan uary SI. 1002. wh* h has quickly become the largest hospital for consumptives in or near New-Tork, is adding to its equipment n. series of tent cottages. Three of these are already occu pied, four others are in process of construction, and still others will be erected as rapidly as possible. The tent cottage hi ar. adaptation of one devised by Dr. Holmes, of I>-:iver. It combines the maximum of ventilation •■ ith the minimum of exposure to iftc weataer. The air in the tents during the last few weeks baa been from •"» to 10 decrees lower ihan in the build ings. The patients were rather reluctant at ihe out- M( to use the tents for sleeping porpeeee, be lieving that they would be draughty aad un comfortable. They were persuaded, with some difficulty, to try it. and without aatiptlen, after a few nightH, all are so much impressed with tent life that it is with difficulty that any of them are persuaded to return to the buildingsjf. for any reason, this becomes necessary. The tents have rot been occupied for a sufficiently |«ns time to afford any tabulated statement of th» result?. At lac graduation exercises cf the nurses twenty-four received diplomas as members ot the oiass- eleven received, graduate diplomas ,npri one nurse received, both diplomas. havins completed the double course. Commissioner Folk? presided, while Mayor Low, Mra < ad walader Jon.-s. who b&s been a generous sup norter of tt , e nurses' work on the island, and who accompanied Mayor Low on Ma tour of ii,- Fnection, and the women of th* board of di rtor «- of tn< =. achool, occvpiod t* platform vith various members of the various vWtina medi cal boards It wax the flrst public commeneer m »nt of th* nurses' school.

Jerome Won't Say Whether or Xot There Is an Indictment. A smoothly shaven man. dressed in a neat suit of gray, was one of the flrnt of fh)S pas sengers to descend the gangway of the Cunard steamer Campania, when she reache.l h?r pier yesterday morning, about 9 o'clock. He haTiev« he would return to this country while Mr. Jerome was District Attorney. Not only has h* come back, but he has come back te» plead tr» any indictment that may h.ive been foun' _ With a smile — he had smiled from t! he left :he steamer— he drove away hunty to the latter's offlce. In the mean time Mr. Jerome was spending a few minute* at his office previous to starting for Hartford, where ha safd he was to address* the Hartford Press Club, and from whenre h^ anal later to go to LakevilTe. Conn., «h< h» has a summer home, to spend Sunday. Pf fu;» going he declined to say- any; ■_- ab^ut th"? "Canfleld case." "What is the status of Hm eaee against Can field now?" he was asked. "There are no puM:c Aora* case. " replied Mr. Jerome. tatt aaoafl ;t" It has never been stated ofßrially that Can field was indicted for being connected with a gambling house at No. 9 East Forty-fourth . but at the time the indictment was found. against David Bucklin. January 23, Mr. Jeromo said among other things: • I do not believe that Canfleld win return to* this country while I am District Attorney" and,! •"We have a complete case against Richard A.J Canfleld." These remarks were Interpreted as signifyinap that ar indictment had been found against Can fleld or that there was evidence on which an in— dictment could be found. After looking over Mi mail Mr. Jerome lefai his office at tc9l o'clock to go to the Grand Cen tral Sattion. An hour or 90 later Forbes J. Hennessy. one <*s] Canflelds eeaaaal went to the District Attor ney« office and talked with Assistant District Attorney Gans about bail. About 11 o'clock Can field, accompanied by Delahunty and Alfred J. Dam bondsman for David Buckiin. arrived aT the ■iminal Courts Building. They entered and went in to see Judge McMahon. who waa li» ctessben fixing bail in canes where the amount of bail had previously been arranged. Soman time elapsed before Mr. Gans and Mr. Hennasaß"! went to Judge McMahon room. Then, no ona seemed to know whether or not there was aa. indictment out against Canfield. When Miy Gans appeared Delahunty turned to Judg- Me* Mahor. and said: -I understand, your honor, that my client haa* b*en tadlcted by the grand Jury of this county for a crime. £0 we are informed. We are not r*ady te give bail to-day. It is true that Mr. Dam came in here and has given bail in another ia « but Ido not know if he would do so in, this case. I would suggest that you parole my client in our custody until Monday, when w* will appear and give the ball desired." Mr Gaas then asked the judge if he had s«*Tst; for the indictment. . t "No." replied the Judge "What do I want or th* indictment? This is simply ctiambem, an ahlpp-ta!n t*><> --lr~nt h«-r*.
