This househas stood in a ' row of brownstone houses for thirty-five or forty years, During all these years neighbors know little about the house except that it was occupled by an old man andby an eccentric wo- man of middle age, believed to be his daughter. A woman, quaintly dressed in a. light summer costume, consisting of a. thin black 'skirt, a thin black waist, overworl, a red bandana. handkerchief used for n girdle, was {feeding cats m the backyard. She n14. and she Was the strange wqm windows of the house. She ' u vâ€"r-,r , This woman had never been known to talk to any of her neighbors. She had seldom, in fact, been seen to leave the house, receiving her grocfi eriee daily at the front door and} slamming the door to _a.ll other via- itore. No one ever saw the inside or the house, not even the grocery boy, it Was said‘ in the neighbor- ‘hood, at least since 1878. when the mother was buried. Yesterday afternoon, however, this strange woman. of her own accord, began a. conversation with Mrs. Elizabeth Arnold, who lives next door. She asked Ire. Arnold to her sick cats. The strange woman -' Aâ€"-â€"-1A spoke intelligently, but Mrs. Arnom feared to Venture on a visit. Then Mary Belfield told lire. Arnold that three her father had been sick for days, that she had been trying to feed him, but that he had refused to ‘ eat, or even speak to her. Then Mrs. Arnold got her brother-in-law to accompany her to the house. Mary Benfield led the way through the basement, through the scurrying cats up two flights of stairs, and in the rear room on the second floor. There on the floor lay Benneld, the owner of the house, and he had been dead for a long time. His mouth was literally stufled with crackers A: carpenter by This woman I umu lv- .- -- u S was literally stufled with cracker and by his side stood a glut: of milk, untouched. Mary Benfield talked to the old man in tender tom. Detectives McCauley, O'Neal, and Markey arrived from the Bergen-st. They say the strange woman made faces at them from an upstairs win- dow and defied them to enter her house. They tried every door, but found them all locked, and then broke in the cellar door and made their way upstairs to where the dead man lay. They questioned the woman who acreamed hysterically for a while, but finally got her story from her. Her father had been taken sick on , Monday, to said, and she had been nursing him since then. But he had refused to eat or talk. The following members Lindsay Board of Health m' town clerk’s omce on Frida st 8.00 p.m.: Messrs. J. 0" Dr. Wood and Dr. McAlpine, HILO.

The room on the third floor where the old man had died looked even files; like a place of habitation. An‘ ill-on cot, a chair and a. stove were in it. The room to the front, it seem- ed, had never been occupied, and, as well an the two other rooms on .the third floor, Contained no furniture. There was evidence on the third floor | that th 9 had been the rendezvous of the family of cats. The cats, in fact, followed the detectives from room to room. were 1:. W011! The most surprising part of the investigation, however, was revealed in a closet in the basement. The detectives had been attracted there because the woman had before leav- ing, taken her red handkerchief from her body and hidden it in a small satchel that was in the closet. They found knotted in the hand- kerchief $277 .78, nearly all in $5, $10 and 820 gold pieces. Futher- more, down in the satchel they found six bank books. One on the Bowery Savings Bank showed de- posits of $4,000. Another on the Brooklyn Savings Bank credited the depositor, Henry Benfield, with $900. ‘ One on the Seamen's Bank for 8a"- i133 sh iii-ed $1,051.66; 3 book ot% the Smt'll Brooklyn Savings Bank showed $824.78. In the Dime SaV- ings b: 11‘; there was $1,270.53, and in the Brooklyn saVings bank they had some also, but the amount could nat be determined. All told, the sum of deposits, ac- cording to the detectives, was more than 88.000. But in addition there Was a. deed to the house itselt, free of mortgage. and showed a value.- tion of $15,000; also a deed for a lot in Greenwood cemetery, where. l as was indicated, the mother and a. 1 son had been buried.
