Once a Murray Hill Belle.
WlfcONED I* A HOTEL IN WINCHESTER COUNTY
—THE MARKLAGE AND SEPARATION OP
NELLIE MURRAY AND EDMUND 8.
BEERS — MRS. BEERS*
LATER LIFE AND
DEATH.
About twelve years ago Miss Nellie Murray
came from Philadelphia with her father to
make her home in New York. She was then
a lovely miss of fourteen, and was the belle
of Murray Hill. Not long afterward
she formed the acquaintance of
James Maher, then a dashing
handsome young man of wealth, and they
were soon regarded as affianced. They kept
up diligent courtship for about two years.
Then a fatal quarrel separated them. Mr.
Maher went West and Miss Murray, who had
grown to be a beautiful woman, heard no
more of him. Two years later, being then
eighteen years old, Miss Murray married Ed
mund S. Beers, a clerk for Dunlap A Co., 526
and 528 Broadway. The union was unhappy,
and two years after her marriage Mrs. Beers
quit her husband’s house, alleging as a reason
ihat he conld not support her in satis
factory style. Mrs. Beers then made her
home with a sister, Mrs. Trainer, wife of the
Hon. Peter Trainer, at 10 West Twenty-eight
street Mrs. Beers, who had excellent musi
cal qualifications, vocal and instrumental, en
gaged herself as a cantatrice, and gave many
entertainments in the theatres under the pro
fessional uamo of Miss Nellie Murray, thus
supporting herself.
A ehort time alter Mrs. Beers made her
sister's house her home, Mr. James Ramsey,
a clerk in the tax receiver’s office, became a
boarder under the same roof. Mrs. Beers
and Mr. Ilamsey were fast friends.
Tils FIRST SUITOR S REAPPEARANCE.
And now comes another chapter in the bis-
to»y of Mrs. Beers. About three years ago
Mr. Maher, Mrs. Beers’ first love, having
heaid of her separation fiom her husband,
appeared on the scene. He was received into
the Trainer family as an old friend. Mr.
Beets, whose health is failing, was then and
is now in Stratford, Conn. There was talk
of a divorce, but proceedings Wt-re never in
stitute:!.
On the first of last April Mr. Maher opened
the Cliff House in ltye. near Portchc-ster.
Soon afterward, according to his own story,
he met Mrs. Beers ou the train going to Strat
ford. He told her he had opened a house in
liye, and asked her to spend the summer or a
portion o! it with him. She replied that if
her friend, Mr. Ramsey, would consent, she
should be glad to do so.
A RIDE WITH HER EARLY SUITOR
On the 3d of July Mrs. Beeis, accompanied
by Mrs. Trainer, Mr. Ramsey, and three
children, went to the Cliff* House and re
mained until the 8tli. Then the party re
turned to the city. On the 10th Mrs. Beers
and the children went back. On the 11th
she rode out with Mr. Maher, visiting several
hotels, and returned home fatigued. On the
12th Mrs. Beers at dinner was heard to
say to Mr. Maher, ‘T don’t want to live. 1
am tired of life. Will you take my personal
property?’ Mr. Maher consenting. Mrs.
Beers went to her room and gave him about
$5,000 worth of diamonds and jewelry. On
the 13th Mr. Maber sent a colored boy to
Rve for half au ounce ol laudanum. Mr.
Dusenherry, the druggist, refused to sell it.
Then Mr. Maher himself went to PortchesU-r
and got it. A few hours later
Mr. Maher sent a colored boy for eight
ounces more aud obtained that also. Iu the
afternoon ot the same day Mr. Maher took
Mrs. Trainer's children to the depot and
bought tickets lor New York. When the
train arrived Maher jumped on, leaving the
children standing on the platform. He went
to Harrison’s, the next station below, and
walked back to Rye. This time he had bet
tors success and got uway with the children on
a later train. After Le bad gone the whole
neighborhood was thrown into consternation
by the rumor that a woman had been
FOUND DEAD
in the hotel. It was Mrs. Beers. The ciiihl-
r« n of a boarder had found her dying on her
bed. Maher ci aid not'be found. Coroner
Breunecke took charge of the bod}’. From
the boa. dcr.s the Coroner learned that the
dead woman owned a large amount of jew
elry. Search was made for her property, but
it could not be found. The neighbors aud
boardcis laid the lody out, aod the Coroner
placed the hotel in charge of Deputy Sheriff!
Dusenberry. At ten o’clock everybody had I
retired. Mr. Dnsenberry went to the room j
containing the dead, and found it deserted.
He turned out the. lights, locked the door,
and took Lis position on the front stoop.
At 1 o’clock a. m. Mr. Maher, accompanied
by Ramsey, arrived on the last train from
New York. When Mr. Dusenberry informed
them of Mrs. Beers' death, they did not
seem surprised, but asked to see the body.
They were shown into the room, and both
men began to shout and wail in a deafening
manner. Alter their grief had subsided, Ma
her said: “She is the only woman I ever
loved.” Rims*y was speechless.
MBS. BEERS’ JEWELS.
Then Mr. Maher took & handful of jewels
from Lin pantaloons pocket, aud said: “Ram- !
sey, I will give these to you.*’ Mr. Dusen-
berry said: “Hold on; what right have yon
to give that property to Mr. Ramsey?”
Maher replied that Mrs. Beers had given
it to him. As Mr. Dusenberry Lad no au
thority to interfere, Ramsey pocketed the
jewels.
On the lltli of July, the next itay after
Mrs. Beers' death, Coroner Rrennecke impan-
nelled a jury and began an inquest The
Coroner wanted a post-mortem examination
to be made, but Mr. Ramsey objected. Dr.
Starr was called upon to make a post-mortem,
but Mr. Dusenberry asserts that Mr. Ramsey
gave the doctor fitly dollars not to make it,
and it was not made. Then Dr. Starr offered
Dnsenbury hall the money, but he would not
take it.
At the inquest witnesses testified to the
purchase ot the laudanum by Maher as above
recited. Also as to the manner of his quit
ting the village and the finding of the dead
woman.
All that is known concerning the manner
or cause of Mrs. Been’ death is the nnco-
roborated testimony of Maher.
THE POISONinil
He ti stifled that after she Lad gone, to her
loom she asked him for cLloroform or laud
anum, saying that she had habitually Liken
that drug. That he gave her thirty drops
from the first half ounce which be obtained,
i nd setting the phial down on the bureau,
went out of the room. Returning
in a lew moments, he saw that she
had emptied the bottle. He says that
she then asked for more, and he sent for and
obtained half a pint. He gave her, he said,
thirty drops more, and set that bottle on the
bureau also. Thin he went out again, and re
turning as before, saw that she had taken about
one-fourth of the half pint. Then he took the
bottle out of the room, and started for New
York with the children, At her request, sayiDg
nothiug to any one about the condition iu
which he had left Mrs. Beers.
The Coroner's jury rendered the verdict that
Mrs. Beers came to her death from an over
dose of laudanum administered by herself.
The Coroner refused to receive the verdict,
and the jnry retired, returning a few moments
later with the same. The body was then
buried by Mrs. Beer’s friends.
SUSPICION IN RYE.
A few days ago the people of R;e and
Poitchester wrote to Coroner Meeks of Mt.
Vernon, that they were dissatisfied with the
shallow investigation in the case, requesting
him to thoroughly unravel the mystery. The
Coroner had an interview with Maher, but
could obtain no information beyond what is
above related. Then the coroner called at
Mrs. Trainer's residence to see Mr. Bamsey,
but lhat gentleman could not be found.
Neither did the Coroner obtain any informa
tion regarding him. Yesterday a J4un report
er called at Mrs. Trainer’s house, with the
name result.
District Attorney Briggs has taken the case
in hand, and expresses the opinion that a
crime has been committed. Warrants are in
the hands of a deputy sheriff for the arrest of
some persons connected with this case. Mrs.
Beers took what is equivalent to seventy doses
ot laudanum. —A*. Y. Sun.
