Man Arrested Is Overcome by Shock of Icy Bath at Night, Slipping into the chilly waters of the East River policeman, with a drawn revolver. sprang suddenly out of the shadow, two or three alleged river pirates swam to safety at the foot of Pacitic street, at 1 o'clock this morning, and the latest reports were that they were still at liberty. The third man, or at least the individual who the bluecoat says was the third man, is at the hospital, not as a result of the bullet policeman sent Bryan O'Donnell. speeding after him as he swam in the wake of his comrades, but because of the shock his toy plunge and long effort had on his system. The policeman who figured in the early morning episode was Bryan O'Donnell of the Amity street station.

O'Donnell got into print only a week ago by making a somewhat arduous rescue of a man named Andrew Anderson, whom he found strugling in the water at the foot of Harrison street. The alleged river pirate whom O'Donnell brought to bay this morning was William Murphy, who described himself at the station as being 21 vears old and living at 109 Pacific street. The incidents of the capture this moring were of almost dime novel picturesqueness. The policeman, seeing the three men sculling in a stolen rowboat, hid himself in the shadow of a neighboring tug until they reached the landing pier where they intended to unload their cargo. Warehouses and river craft along the water front had been complaining for some time that their goods disappeared at intervals in uncanny fashion, and the policeman suspected he saw the solution of the mystery in the three men in the rowboat.

Men Brave Water to Escape Policeman. The alleged river pirates had unloaded one bag of beans when O'Donnell came out of the shadow. With equal quickness twe of the men drove silently into the waters and but for a ripple or two as they swam with ratlike swiftness away into the darkness, the policeman did not see them again. The third man was not SO quick and he hesitated for awhile almost at the muzzle of the revolver in the hands of the patrolman. A careless movement on the latter's part gave him a belated opportunity, however, and he took it.

but not with the success that had attended his comradese. The policeman fired as the third man dropped into the water and he sent a bullet after him as he swam. The man gained the security of a tugboa; some distance away, but was trailed by O'Donnell, and arrested. The policeman says Murphy is the man. The rowboat in which O'Donnell found the three men belonged to one James Shea.

address no: given. Shea and some companions, it is said, had intended 10 grapple for the body of a friend. Joseph Lynch, who was drowned near the foot of Pacific street some time ago. Pending further arrangements for the trip the rowboat was tied up at the Pacific street pier. close to the tugboat Dalzelline.

This was at 8 o'clock in the evening. Bluecoat Discovers Disappearance of Rowboat. In the meanwhile O'Donnell, who has the river front beat. noticed the boat and he also observed that it disappeared a few minutes after. He decided to reconnoitre and await developments.

After nearly 5 hours of patient watching the policeman was rewarded by the sight of the rowboat. The three men appeared to be quite willing to get along with attracting as little attention as necessary and they kept the boat as much in the shadow of the piers and Fiver craft as possible. The boat and its three occupants came from the direction of the warehouse of the Trinidad Supply Comat the foot of Amity street. The pany policeman drew his revolver and waited. The dock at this section of the water front is about 300 feet long and too high for a rowboat to make a comfortable landing.

The three men in the boat maneuvered around for a few moments. and then decided to tie un to the Dalzelline, from which they would have no trouble in getting to the dock. O'Donnell waited until the rowboat tied up and the men had passed a large sack of something upon the pier and then he made his appearance. He leveled his revolver at the men and ordered them I VAN WAGNER-Suddenly, on March 20. 1910.

to surrender. The two men already mentioned lost no time whatever in diving icto the water. The third acted as if he meant to obey the policeman, but when O'Donnell relaxed his vigilance for a moment he too dived into the river. O'Donnell saw a little ripple in the water as his quarry swam, and he shot ahead of it to turn the man back. but without success.

The policemen was not to be beaten SO easily, however, and he began a systematic search of the water front, thinking to pick up his man when he landed. In this he was successful, for on boarding the tugboat Emma J. Kennedy, at a distant pier some time later. he found the suspect in the engineroom. shiveringly trying to dry his clothes.

He denied that he was one of the three men. He said he had fallen into the water 11'0m 8 tugboat. In the meanwhile the policeman also found time to investigate the contents of the sack which the three men bad tossed up on the pier. He found another just like it in the bottom of the rowboat. Both contained cocoa beans, and, it is declared, ecah sack is worth $35.

Richard Bilton Was Apparently Afraid to Undergo a Mental Examination. Fear apparently of undergoing a mental examination to-day was the cause of Richard Bilton, 31 years old, of Bridgeport, ending his life this morning in the residence of Dr. Edward J.

Mountain at 175 West Seventy-third street, Manhattan. The man 1 inhaled illuminating gas and had been dead several hours when found, For some time, it was learned at the physician's residence, Bilton had acted rather strangely at his home in Bridgei port. He was a manager for his brother, C. Bilton, a friend of Dr. Mountain, and it was decided to bring 1 Richard to this city and have him undergo a mental examination.

Late yesterday afternoon, the two brothers came to this city and went direct to Dr. Mountain's home. There C. Bilton left his brother and arrangements were made to have the examination this morning. The brother explained before leaving that Richard had been suffering considerably from mental depression.

He committed suicide during the night. MC KENNA LOVES THE ISLAND. Prefers Life in the Workhouse to Freedom Sent There for the Twelfth Time. At his own request, and for the eleventh time, Charles McKenna, a man without a home, went to the workhouse on Blackwell's Island to-day from the Fifth avenue police court. Magistrate Geismar was not inclined to send McKenna there, upon learning that the man was fond of the place.

McKenna said he always had an easy time of it, driving a truck being the only work he had to do. Magistrate Geismar asked him if he wouldn't like a job obtained for him in Brooklyn, chopping wood for the Salvation Army people, or as a porter somewhere. McKenna said he'd take a job driving a truck, but that was all. istrate Geismar told him he was "choicy" and granted his request to be sent to the Island McKenna was informed, however, that he would have no easy time there driving, for the officials would be posted ahead, and his work would be breaking stone or some similar hard labor. McKenna said he didn't mind.

The man is about 35 years old, with prematurely white hair. Policeman Mason found him wandering about in Bay Ridge the other morning and locked him up in the Fourth avenue station on a charge of vagrancy. BAD DAY FOR MYSERY. Mrs. Podersky Leaves Door Open.

Mrs. Podersky returned and says she missed a purse containing $3.30. and she pursued the peddler. She followed Mysery until she met Policeman Thull of the Bedford, avenue station, who caught the peddler. When he was searched, the pocketbook was not found, but Mrs.

Podersky insisted on making a complaint, and the Syrian was held. This morning in the Bedford avenue court Magistrate -Higginbotham sheld him for further hearing. SPECIAL TEMPLE SERVICES.

An unsolved mystery surrounds the stabbing of Daniel Rieg. 27 years of age, who lives at 295 Maujer street, and who is confined in the prison ward of St. Catherine's Hospital, where he is held, charged with having attempted to take his life. The man was found on the steps of the big institution on Bushwick avenue late yesterday afternoon, weak from the loss of blood, with five stab wounds In his breast, and refusing to tell the authorities who committed the crime. The wounded man is a brother of the late Tarbara Rieg, who was found dead, with a bullet wound in her head, in shelter house in Irving Park, Hamburg avenue and Halsey street, early in the morning on July 21, 1908.

This crime also baffled the police for some time, until Policeman David Shellard of the Hamburg avenue station was arrested, indicted and tried, but the jury disagreed, and he is now on $10,000 bail, awaiting another trial. Although Captain James Post of the Stagg street station and his detectives have tried to get a confession out of Rieg as to who did the stabbing, the man refuses to tell, but insists that it was he who knifed himself. This came out after the man had been questioned for fully an hour by Captain Post, and Anally blamed himself to protect his friend, who brought him to the hospital, William Nicholas of 293 Maujer street, from being placed under arrest. According to a statement by Mrs. Henry Krauss of 295 Maujer street, the woman with whom Rieg boarded, Rieg has been showing signs of having an unbalanced mind for some time.

He has been living with Mrs. Krauss and her husband ever since he left his home a few doors away, it being alleged that he quarreled a with his mother and left her. It was a common sight, the woman said, to see Rieg sit at the table and pull at his hair, and when he finally released some of the hair from his scalp lay it on the table and count how many he had succeeded in getting out. Several times she also beard sounds in his rooms, she alleges, such as a knocking on the wall, and once saw uim bumping his head against the plaster and at the same time exclaiming that he wanted to knock his brains out. After Rieg had been taken in at the hospital and treated, he rushed from the institution screaming that he would catch the man and make him pay the penalty.

Dr. Conolly, who is very fleet, was after him and caught him after a two blocks' run. He brought the mau back to the institution and then sent for the police. When Captain Post arrived he at once tried to find out who did the stabbing, but all that Rieg would say was that he would get the man when he was released from the hospital. Finally the captain said he would have to arrest Nicholas, nad then Rieg answered, "Well, I did it myself.

Is that good enough for you?" Then the captain inimediately sent Detectives Mooney and Boyan to interview Mrs. Krauss. The woman was in a terrible state when the police arrived, and in a half hysterical manner said she knew nothing about it. An examination of the room which was occupied by Rieg revealed nothing. although it was ransacked.

There were 110 blood stains in the house. When a reporter saw Dr. Conolly, who has charge of the case, the surgeon said as far as he could see it was impossible to self -inflict the wound which Rieg bore. There ate live distinct openings, all in the same region and two of them are from one to two inches long, the latter being the most dangerous, as it is within a very short margin of the heart. The man's underwear was a mass of blood.

Dr. Conolly questioned his patient and told him that he knew that he did not stab himself. Rieg answered: Be am charged with trying to commit suicide. and I may be sent up for it. But that is all I will say being that I am going to live.

If I vas going to die I might say more. A11 want is chance to get 2t that man. That's all." MAHER STANDS GOOD CHANCE: Favorably Mentioned for Position of Deputy Fire Chief. Has Been in Department Since 1886. and Has a Remarkably Fine Record.

Justice Stapleton Reopens Case and Referee Will Listen to the Facts Presented, Norma E. Pidgeon, whose husband, "Eddie" Pidgeon, secured 8 favorable verdict from a jury the other day while Mrs. Pidgeon process changing attorneys, a new lawyer "had to-day, and her new lawyer went before Justice Stapleton in the Special Term of the Supreme Court and asked that the default taken against her be opened and that she be permitted to put in a defense claim "Eddie" makes that she and William Little, the newspaper artist, have far t00 friendly for some years past. Mrs. is suing for a separation, and the defendant is a wellknown theatrical manager and former newspaper man.

Justice Stapleton heard both sides to the motion, and said that if he opened the default Mrs. Pidgeon would have to have the case tried at once, and then, it was sugested by both lawyers, that it should be tried before a referee. This proposal was accepted by the court, and a referee will be appointed. The marital differences of the Pidgeon: have been in the courts for a long time. "Eddie's" attorney, Luke E.

O'Reilly, sail that Mrs. Pidgeon heard that his client was about to bring suit for absolute divorce, and so she started the saparation suit to get the first shot. She had changed her lawyer, Mr. O'Reilly said. four times, and.

he continued, it was while her fourth lawyer was withdrawing from the case and her fifth not yet selected that the case was sent the other day for trial before Justice Crane and a jury. Mr. O'Reilly then told Justice Stapleton what some of the evidence was, on the trial, that induced the jury to quickly decide in favor of his client. Mrs. Pidgeon's latest attorney is Addison Sanborn.

Lawyer Sanborn insisted that the testimony was not 80 overwhelmingly against Mrs. Pidgeon as Lawyer O'Reilly would have the Court think. She ought to have. a chance in court, said her attorney. Justice Stapleton said he intended to give her a chance.

MR. METZ REAPPEARS Talks to Manufacturers on Ferry Matter. Several Subjects of Importance Discussed at Regular Monthly Meeting. Ex Controller Herman A. Metz was' present and took a very active part in the regular monthly meeting of the Manufacturers' Association, held at its headquarters, 186 Montague street, last evening.

When the subject of the Williamsburg came up Mr. Metz made a characteristic speech, in which he advised that the association take action looking to the appointme. of a condemnation commission in the ferry matter. "All that is necessary," he said, "is to have a commission appointed by the Supreme Court; not until that is done can anything else be accomplished. The matter has been in the Corporation Counsel's office for six months, and if we don't get move on it will lie there six months longer.

There is a 'nigger in the woodpile' and we're going to smoke him Mr. Metz's remarks were applauded, and the matte: was referred the committee. Several other matters of importance were taken up, among them being an indorsement of the Wagner-Short bill. which was introduced in the Legislature at the request of Mayor Caynor. A resolution was introduced urging the Board of Estimate to rescind a resolution passed December 17, 1909, which gives the Coney Island and Brooklyn Railroad the power to park Coney Island avenue.

The resolution brought a protest from Mr. Metz, who said that the matter was too important to be considered by the association. It is a matter for the local Board of Trade to act upon, he thought. Despite Mr. Metz's protests the association went on record favoring the rescinding of the permit, and secretary was instructed to inform the present Board of Estimate of the action taken.

The association indorsed the Barnhart bill, which has been introduced into Congress. and calls for the construction of the Michigan and Erie Canal. The bill introduced in the Legislature, which calls for the establishment of a state department of commerce and industry, as also indorsed.

Lotus Club's Suit Against Art Dealer Clausen May Go to the Jury To-morrow. The trial of the suit brought by William T. Evans, heairman of the art committee of the Lotus Club, against William Clausen, an art dealer, to recover $5,350 which Evans paid Clausen for two paintings that Evans says he afterward discovered were forgeries of Homer D.

Martin's work, was resumed this morning before Justice Page and a jury in the Supreme Court in Manhattan with Arthur Dawson, a picture "restorer" on the witness stand undergoing cross-examination by former Supreme Court Justice Hatch, counsel for the plaintiff. Dawson is the man, Mr. Evans avers, who the alleged forgeries in imitation painted, tin's work. Yesterday, on direct examination, explained in detail how he had "restored" the two paintings in dispute, "Near Newport" and Mill Near St. and during a two-hour grilling by Mr.

Hatch on cross-examination his testimony was not shaken to any extent. This morning Mr. Evans' lawyer took up the methods which Dawson says be used in cleaning paintings preparatory to restoring them. He insisted that Dawson go into detail. "I don't know that I am called upon to betray my secrets," said the witness.

"Tell us all you can without betraying secrets, then," urged Mr. Hatch. Dawson explained what he did to remove dirt and grease from the surface of a painting and also what he did to All in whatever cracks there were in picture. He refused, however, to tell jury "the what the preparations he used were made of. "There are a lot of persons here in this courtroom would like to learn my secrets," declared Dawson.

Dawson testified that he received anywhere from $75 to $350 for restoring a painting and that he sometimes earned as much as $5,000 a year. It is probable that the taking of testimony will be finished to-day with the evidence of Clausen, the defendant, and that the case will go to the to-morrow. ST. JOHN'S BOYS DINE.
