Man was Pushed from Step.
County Physician Carroll last night
performed the an topsy on the body of
John Filmore, who died under myster

for Coroner Henry to hold an inquest,
so that will be omitted.
As told in the News yesterday, John
Filmore, an Englishman, about fifty
years old, was taken in by George
Loeser Sr , about a month ago to work
about the Excelsior Hotel and grove,
of which he is proprietor. The fel
low, it is said, was addicted to drink.
Wednesday night, it aDpears, Filmore
was drunk, and created a disturbance
about the place. About midnight he
made an attempt to ascend the steps
of the porch, when George Loeser Jr.
the manager of the hotel, pushed him, i
according to his own testimony, from*
the bottom step to the ground, wheq
death resulted.
When h^saw that the man was dead
Loeser quickly came to Police Head
quarters and told of the occurrence,
and two 9$cert were at once sent to
Maurer. Loeser was taken into cus
tody. Lawyer Joseph E. Strieker is
his connsel.
Loeser was taken to New Brunswick
and is still in the custody of Sheriff
Carman. It is expected that he will
be released on bail within a short
time.
