The Electric theater at 127 Whitehall

crisp the whole Dam family, with the
exception of the Dam dog, which barely
escaped with very severe singes. The
holocaust waa a rival of that which
burned the glue factory and stripped
the horror laurels from the Are which
consumed tho Welherwurat gravy

The members of the Dam family died
without a groan and only a few charred
lumps of gelatin remained to tell of
the fate of one of the most prominent
and foremost households In America.
The firemen came. The Incident waa
made notable'otherwise because It In

Believing that Johnson, and not

Johnson. Johnson attempted to hide
his face when Mrs. Hamp entered the
room. When hie hat was pulled from
over hie eyes, Mrs. Camp took but one
look, when she went Into hysterics.
She cried:
"He’s the negro who assaulted me.'
She then turned a deathly white,and
was unable to speak further. As she
sat In her chair she quivered like

Mrs. Csinp showed more certalnty
Saturday afternoon In her Identifica

Glenn was released, the Jury believing

ROCKEFELLER SOBS IN GRIEF
AT PIER IN NEW YORK CITY;
DAUGHTER’S BODY ARRIVES
New York, N'liv. 24.—With, tears
streaming down his cheeks, John D.
Rockefeller waited at the French-Una
pier today with nearly all the member*
of his family, to meet the French
steamship Lu Provence, on which won
brought the body of the multi-mil
lionaire's daughter, Mrn. Charles A.
Strong, who died In France after an
Illness of many years.
On the steamship were Professor
Strung, of Columbia, her husband, nnd
their daughter. Marguerite. They have
come here to live permanently, having
gone to France only because Mr*.
Strong's Illness necessitated living In
that climate.
Rockefeller Sob* at Pier.
With Mr. Rockefeller was with his
wife, his son, John D. Jr., and hla sons-
ln-law. Harold F. McCormick, of Chi
cago, und E. Parmlee Prentiss.
When approached by a reporter Mr.
Rockefeller said:
"If We could have our way we would
not have a word of tills sad occasion
In the pa|iers. It Is a very great blow
to us—a very great blow."
With these words he • choked nnd
tear* coursed down his cheek*. As lie
felt for his handkerchief he sobbed
violently.
Her Death a Shock.
Halining himself lie said:
"When I saw my daughter In Fiance
last summer she seemed greatly im
proved In health. Indeed, 1 wus so fu-
volubly impressed 'that I wanted her
to return with me to America, but those
who had been with her nnd the French
doctors advised ugalnst It. Everything
has been arranged for the obsequlea
and we shall go from the pier to my
home In Fifty-fourth street.” *
Kieied His Granddaughter;
Mr. Rockefeller, whom face was
working with emotion, turned and
Joined the party, who, by special ar
rungement with the company, were
taken aboard liefora the passengers
came off. In the saloon they found
Professor Strong and little Marguerite,
who is 10 years oil, Mr. Rockefeller
strode forward, and, bending over,
seised the child In his arms. Hs kissed
her several times before he spoke ami
then he once mole broke down uud
wept as she patted tils cheek fondly.
The child was gently taken from hitn
by her father and then all of the party
except John D., Jr., hurtled to their
automobiles and started for uptown.
The younger Rockefeller remained be
hind to look after the baggage. Sexton
Ritter, of the Fifth Avenue Baptist
church, took charge of the casket con
taining Mrs. Strong's body, but would
say nothing of the funeral arrange
ment*.
Mr*. Strong Feared Poverty.
Mrs. Strong's Illness was one of the
great aorrnvm nt Mr. Rockefeller's life.
Despite lilt enormous wealth, she be
lieved she wus doomed to die In povet -
ty. lief great desire ws* to prevent
waste and extravagance. This became
a passion with her, nnd, combined with
physical Illness, reduced her to such it
weakened condition that she was taken
abroad several years ago. It was to sec

Herkimer, N. Y„ Nov. 24.—For the
purpose of forestalling an Insanity plea
as a defense to the charge of murder
ing his sweetheart, Gracei Brown, for
which Chester Gillette Is on. trial, the
prosecution decided to have the prison
er's mental faculties Inquired Into by
three alienists, who were brought here
secretly to make the test.
Them experts were unanimous In
declaring that . Gillette Is perfectly
sane.
Father Wee a Fanatic.
Gillette's father la a follower of John
Alexander Dowle, and Is "11 let to bo n
religious fanatic. He sacriAced all hl>
property to the Zion City ."prophet."
The (,rls.-n.-r'.- Kinmiruiliei. Alherlus
Gillette, Is eald to Jiave been mentally
weak. . ....
When the alienists arrived at the
Herkimer jail Gillette was told that he
would have to undergo an examination,
and he readily consented.
Gillette was piled with question* con
cerning hla paqt life to test his power
of memory and observation, after
which the alienists applied the "nee
dle” test. It was found that Gillette
was equally sensitive on both sides of
his body. He was blindfolded and a
flatiron dropped on his foot.
.' Gillette Rehssrset Story.
Designed to combat every point the
stste has made against him. Chester
Gillette believes the story he will tell
the Jury will save him from the electric
chair. He rehearses his story dally In
his cell. The prisoner each evening
goes carefully over the evidence given
during the day's proceeding* und con
structs his stoVy so as to overthrow the
points the state had scored In It* case.
Gillette has prepared maps' of the
Adirondack region, where the tragedy
occurred. The movements and posi
tions testified to by witnesses are care
fully traced out on the maps by the
prisoner, who has constructed small
pawns of crushed paper to represent
persona. These pawns he moves about
on the map.
Mystery Shrouds the
Death of Pair in
Chicago.
Chicago, N6v.'24.—A note torn into
bits and concealed Inside her kimono,
was found today upon the body of Mrs.
Elisabeth Delaney, wife of Chafles H.
Delaney, who was found with her hus
band, both shot to death, In a hous* at
492 La Salle avenue, and Immediately
the Inquest was adjourned for a week.
The note was tom into such small
bits that It will take more than a day
to put them together. Meantime, deep
mystery surrounds the death of the
couple, both of whom were well known,
he being president of the American
Shipping Company, of Chicago and
New York, and hie wife being the
daughter of a retired Texas millionaire
lend owner.
Seemed to be Happy.
The friend* of tho couple declare that
neither of them had n revolver and
that they were happy, and Inelst that
the mystery when solved will reveal a
double murder with a third person as
the murderer. The police asked to
have the Inquest continued In order to
Investigate this theory.
■ The woman wae shot through the
side of the head, like her husband, and
both her eyes were blackenod by the
shock. In her forehead, though, there
le a two-inch clean-cut gash, made by
a sharp Instrument and penetrating to
the bone.
Police Not Satisfied.
Captain of Police Barca said:
"1 cannot account for a good deal in
this dose. There Is not enough evi
dence to warrant our dosing the rase.
We will Investigate further and have
hnd the Inquest continued to give us
time to search for two women that
called on Mrs. Delaney before the
tragedy."
