REVOLVER HELD TO HIS HEAD
The Pastor of Calvary Baptist Church and
His Family Were at Divine Eervics
Wbea the Attempt Wai Hade Their
Work Was Done Boldly and Expedi
tiously Hissed a Large Sum of Honey.
Another Sanday evening robbery was
committed last night, two unknown white
men entering tbe bouse of Rev. S. H.
Greonc, No. 1322 Q street northwesti while
tbe family was at church, and nltliough the
plunder dW not exceed ?5, tbe boldness
of tbe attempt places it on a par witb any
recently made.
As in tbe case of Rev. Dr. Butler a few
weeks ago, Dr. Greene and tbe entire
family werea t church and tbe servant away.
The robbers, after trying vainly to get in
through the front window, forced open the
baseaent door, and proceeded to make a
systematic search of tbe premises.
Mr. J. M. Buzzfll, Dr. Greene's brother-in-law,
returned borne before the rest of
tbe party, and upon entering tbe bouse
beard some one moving around on the sec
ond floor, bat supposing that it was Dr.
Greene's eon and a friend, paid no attention
to tbe noise.
SAW THEY WERE STRANGERS.
He moved around down stairs for a few
minutes, when he beard some one coming
down tbe steps, and turning to look saw
that they were strangers.
He started towards them to ask them
what tbey -wauted, but the men bad reached
tbe first floor, and one of them drawing a
revolver covered Mr. Buzzill witb it,
backing slowly out of tbe front door, while
tbe otlier one ran down tbe steps and out
into the street.
As soon as the one with the revolver got
outside both men took to their heels,
running down Kingman place, which
opens on Q street a few doorb from Mr.
Greene's residence.
Mr. Buzzill's cries for the police soon
drew a large crowd, and several started in
pursuit, but the men had too much of a
start, and soon disappeared. A couple of
policemen from tbe Eighth precinct came
np a few minutes after the men got away,
and upon investigating the affair, arrived
at tbe conclusion that they were the same
men wlio robbed Dr. Butler's residence
several Sundays ago.
MISSED A LARGE SUM.
Mr. Buzzfll said that the men wore white
and were rathor young looking, loth about
medium h eighth. He could give no better
description of thorn and does not think he
could identify them, as the affair took place
in so short a time.
Dr. Greene says that there hapiiencd to
be a large sum of monoy ami n quantity of
valuables in the bouse, which, fortunately,
tbe ttivQS did not get track of. They had,
evidently, been iu the house only a short
tnue when Mr. BuzzHl returned, as tbey
bad ransacked only tbe Eeoottd floor.
Ob that floor Uiey Killed .jkjii bureau

They Tried To Exchange Places in the Eoat,
but the Youne lady lost Her 'Balance,
and, Catching Hold of Her Escort, Both
Fell Overboard Drowned Before Help
Could Beach Them One Body Becovered.
Irving Lysle and Miss Katie Canter, both
well-known and popular residents of Ana
costla, fell out or a row boat and were
drowned a few hundred yards from the
garbage wharf at the foot of South Capitol
street yesterday afternoon about three
o'clock.
. Both tbe young people were members of
the choir of Emanuel Episcopal Church in
Anaco6tia, Lysle, who was nineteen years
old, having been a cross bearer there for
about three years. They sang at the church
services yesterday morning, and early in
the af tenioon Jiired a small row boat at
rrench'B wharf, at the foot of Eleventh
street southea&t, and started out for a row.
They passed beneath the Anacostla
bridge, and oil down the Eastern Branch by
tbe Navy Yard, and were rowing around
iu the channel, off the foot of South Cap
itol street.
According to the story of James Martin,
an Anaootlia boy who witnessed the acci
oeut, Lysle was sitting in the bow of the
boat and Miss Canter in the stern.
Both got up and started townrde each
other, evidently lnteudiiig to change
places, when tlie young lady lost her bal
ance, and, catching bold of Lysle, both
plunged averboaru.
SHE SEIZED LYSLE.
They west down together, but while
under the water, became separated, and
oh reaching the surface Mlts Cunter
again eUed Lysle around the waist.
Lvele c-Murht Iraki of tlH side of the boat
and called foraftatotaiice, Imt probably be
coming numb withruld. and unable totup
jtort tbe wclfftit of both, bis hold on the
boat broke ami both went down.
When titer ram up tbe second wine they
were glHI together, but the 'bird :.me their
iokl on each other relaxed, and tbey
(lteaptteared separately and were teen no
i bo re.
Two roen In a sailboat, who w-re a few
hundred yards from tlte place, started to
their rwue wlien they heard Lyslc's cries
for assistance, but arrived too late to do
any good. The boat wah rec-ov-red by a
young man named Lew Be.vb, tmd
contained the young lady'ahat and parasol.
The police boat Joe Blackburn was tele
phoned for, but was in Georgetown, and
it was tome lime before it reached the
scene of the disaster. Preparations Ti-ere
immediately made for dragging the river
for the bodies, however, and fibout G:S0
o'clock the small boat in command of
Pilot Russell Dean found the body of the
young lady about 100 yards out in the
stream off One-half street.
HER BODY RECOVERED.
It was carried to the harbor-master's
wharf, and the police ambulance from the
Second precinct wab tent for. The body
was then removed to Miss Canter's late
home in Anacostia.
All efforts to locate Lysle's body last
night were unsuccessful. H.irbor-inaster
Sutton, however, will resume work early
this morning.
Lysle had no regular occupation in Ana
costla, and lived witb his mother, Mrs.
Perkins, on Monroe street. Miss Canter
was eighteen years old, and kept house for
her father, Mr. George T. Canter, at No.
228 Fillmore street, and bad just recovered
from a protracted sick spelL .Although
not engaged, the two young people have
beenon friendly terms forseveral years.
Preparations were begun for Miss Can
ter's funeral last night, and the ceremony
will probably take place to-morrow after
noon. Rev. W. G. Davenport, pastor of
Emanuel Episcopal Church, will officiate.

living at Broad Run, fifteen miles from

morning by Frank "Winterchief, a burly
eighteou-year-old negro, who works on
the farm of Col. J. Columbus Odonnell,
near Fetersville. Although he failed to ac
complish bis purpose, Mrs. Butts was
fiendishly dealt with.

negro, who had been seen following her,
overtook heron tho road, and armed with a
club, seized her, threw her to the ground
and dragged her toward tho bushes.

efforts threw off her nEtailaut and sprang
to her feet. Three times he threw ber to
the ground.
In the struggle ho Jammed his finger
up her nostrils, tearing open her clothes,
scratching and braising her flesh and
throwing her skirts over her head.
Frightened before accomplishing his
purpose, he sprang up and fled. Notwith

San Francisco, Cal., April 31. The po
lice are still busy in picking up the threads
and weaving their networkof circumstances
and evidence in the Emanuel Baptist Church
cases, so as to leave no weak mesh tnrougb
which the accused can escapr- for they
believe they have tho niu;rdererin the person
of "W. H. E. Durant. ?
It is now thought ty will avikc on
endeavor to try Durant cst on the charge
of murdering Miss Lampnt, as tho evid-jnee
in that ca6e Is said tojbe much suonger
against the prisoner than In tbe case of the
killing of Miss "Williams.
Referring to tho runior that Biarhe
Lamont was lured to the lihurch by D it rant's
promise to perionn a opjninal operation on
her to save hor from ilsgracc aud that
when she shrieked in afcbuy he caught her
by the (hroat to btifle her cnes and choked
her to death, Dr. BarTett, the city autopsy
physician, stated the ?umor was without
foundation.
He says he took especial care In the
matter of the autopsyr and ho is satisfied
that no criminal operation was performed.
He also states that both young women died
of strangulation and that the knife wounds
in Miss Williams' bodiverc not tho cause
of death.
Among the gruesome exhibits in the case
is one thafc was quietly taken to polleo
headquarters and locked up, and not until
a late hour last night did the police ac
knowledge they had it. This exhibit is
a shoe and on its sol6 arc dark spots of
blood that came from the body of Miss
"SVilliams.
Tho shoe is the property of Rev. J. George
Gibson, pastor of tile church, and it waa
found in bis study In the edifice last Sun
day just after the finding or the body of
Miss Lamont.
This statement has created a sensation
and gives those who have been hinting
that Rev. Gibson may be the guilty party
an opportunity -to emphasize their sus
picions. -'
However, the police do not seem, to see In
it anything that implicates the pastor, for
they argue that tho person who Mlled the
two girls was familiar with thpehureb, must
have known the Bhoes wore there, iiul must
have worn theui in hl&bloody undertaking.

Murder of a Woman -That Re
calls Jack the Ripper.
BLEEDING IN A HALLWAY
Post-mortem Examination Disclosed the
Shocking Fact that the Poor Creature
Had Been Inhumanly Beaten and
Stamped Upon and Internally Mutilated
Hemorrhase Waa the Cause of Her Beath.
-"New York, April 21. A murder was
brought to light in Bellevue Hospital this
a f tenioon, which is suggestive in some
of its details or the White Chapel crimes
in London, that made "Jack, the Ripper"
notorious. The victim is a woman of the
lowest class. Her name was Alice Walsh
and she was welL known in the resorts in
the neighborhoodofBIeecker and Thompson
streets.
When the autopsy was performed upon
her body, it was discovered that certain
mutilations had been made which dis
tinguished the White Chapel murders,
although not of so serious a character.
Up to a late hour the murderer had not been
arrested, but one man who is thought to
bave some kuowledge of the matter was
held ou suspicion.
The circumstances of the killing of Alice
Walsh are peculiar in almost every aspect.
About 5 o'clock this morning a woman was
found in the hallway of No. 1-13 Thompson
6treet half unconscious and bleeding.
The woman was conveyed to St. Vin
cent's Hospital and inquiries instituted
at the tenement. No one who was there
knew the name of the woman, butthe night
clerk ot a restaurant readily identified
ber as Alice Walsh.
NEVER REGAINED CONSCIOUSNESS.
Every effort of the physicians to stop
the blood proved futile, and the patient
expired at 11:15 o'clock, having been in
tho institution less than four hours. During
that period she showed no signs of returning
consciousness, and diqd without indicating
in any way how she met with the circum
stances which resulted In her death.
In the course of the afternoon Dr. Phillip
O. llanlon, coroner's physician, made a
tiosjt-mortem examination of the body and
discovered the real cause of death. He
found that the woman was bruised and
black and blue iu almost every part of
her body.
He found also that she had been bru
tnlly mutilated with a knife or dagger, and
thnt the wounds thus resulting had started
the hemorrhage which bad terminated
fatally.
After much searching about the neigh
borhood the police found that the woman,
iu company with a tall, broad-shouldered
man, who looked like an Italian, a wo
man, known as "Girnpy" Amanda, a girl
called "Teenic," and another man, had
spent a portion of the early morning hours
in the-saloon of E.
N. uarland, at 108
West Houston trt.
hue there she
I pecame greatly intoxicated, and she and
I line foil nftmvinittswi mtnVMillud
her tall companion quarrelled.
They loft there, so far as could bo ascer
tained, at about 4 o'clock, a. m. Whoro
they went during tho Intervening two hours
cannot uow be told.
It is surmised that the man who killed
hor is tho Italian strangor in whoso com
pany sho was in Garlavd's saloon.
A womau iu Bellevue Hospital, who had
met her whilo serving a term on the island,
said that she had been living with a man
named Terence Collins, who, a short time
ago, was sent to the Elmira Reformatory.
After hor lover had been sent away, Alico
took up with an Italian, or a Spaniard, so
the woman said.
Philip Mewloy, tho night clerk, is being
held until further investigation is made. 1
Mystery of tho Suicide TJnsolvrrt.
Nothing has yet been heard of by tho
authorities in regard to the identity of the
mysterious Amnrtoan House suicide. The

tablishment, on Pennsylvania avenue,
between Third and Four-and-a-half streets,
yesterday was much smaller than ou Sat
urday, and none of them was able to fur
nish any information about him.
If the body is not identified by to-morrow
it will probably be buried in potter's
field.

Denver, Col., April 21. After serving
continuously in the service of tbe United
States for a period of forty-three jears
Major General Alexander McDowell Mc
Cook retires from the army to-morrow , a
step made necessary by the law, the limit
of age, sixty-four years, having been
reached.
Gen. McCook will leave Denver this week
