Show IT WILL NOT DOWN The Dark Secret Worrying I Mrs Scofield fr MY HUSBAND KILLED HATCH 7 That New York Mystery Still Blysil fies the Metropolis Will W She Tel Telt < Foul whisperings are abroad unnaturdF deeds Do breed unnatural trouble infect < minds lo their deaf pillows will discharge their secrets LOOK after her Shakespeare The Hatch mystery will not die outof the public mind so long as Mrs Lillian B Scofield makes vagtu utterances concerning con-cerning the dark secret which there is no question continues to trouble her The fact that she openly accused her husoand of having committed murder while standing in Broadway and the constant dissipation she is indulging m furnish conclusive proof that this woman wo-man is positively suffering from some mental pain cause as yet unexplained Going round the circle in her wanderings wander-ings Mrs Scotiald invariably comes back to the Thirteenth Street police station sta-tion as if there was some magnetic influence in-fluence in the place where she was first taken after the dead body of Nathaniel W T Hatch was fo nd Mention was made in yesterdays Ffeiafd of her creating a oisturbance Wednesday night and requesting a policeman to arrest her husband on the cnarge of murder but the whole story was not told 5 I In the first place Mrs Scofield now appears ten years older than shedid on the morning of May 8 and there is a strange hunted look in her eyes that is apparent to every oce who has encountered encoun-tered the woman since her release from the House of Detention Though she seems to have been always fond of wine her indulgence in champaene is I now greater than before and at time her conduct indicates that she has imbibed im-bibed even stronger liquids Without intent to deepen the bad impression already abroad concerning this singular woman It must be said that her actions ac-tions and language cannot but be taken as indications of an unstotled and haunted brain It now appears that the police didjiot reveal all that Mrs Scotield said in the police station Sergeant Sheldon on learning of the patrolman that l she had Accused her husband of murder asked helatter what she meant r dont know replied Soofield She has been drinking as yen see This did not satisfy the sergeant tie asked lira Scofield the same question ques-tion when she laughed in an hysterical manner and betrayed her intoxicated condition Isnt that a niceman Jtor me to marry 1 she exclaimed pointing derisively I de-risively at her husband Wasnt I a ioola woman of my age and style to marry an od man like him What do I want with a miserable fellow like himl Scofield was not at all incensed by tbs contenipuous and brutal abuse for he remained silent apparently un mo verity language that would have infuriated furiated any ordinary man You want to know what mean by accusing my husband of murder 1 mean that he killed Hatch That is a seriouscharge you make said sergeant Sheldon Do you mean ti say that Mr Hatchwas really murdered mur-dered and by yonr husband HOb H-Ob how I loved poor Nat said Mrs Scofield seemingly oblivious of the sergeants questions How I II laved him I loved him better than sm other rnanl met Then she began muttering to herself saying over and over again S How I loved him How I loved poor Nat P Sergeant Sheldon permitted the woman to maunder on in this way unchecked un-checked meanwhile acquitting in taoQeldsdeparture The husband slip ped away as if glad to escape What is the trouble bstyveenyou and your husband said the sergeant after Scofield had disappeared Why dont you two quit quarrelling in the streets and live together quietly 7 Because I cant she replied Do you know Ive a good mind tar have my picture taken and send it altover tbe country to see if T am the woman they make me out to ba Thats not a bad idea remarked the sergeant Now hadnt you better go away to bed and sleep 1 I cant sleep I wanted Scofield too to-o with me to our house in Twentieth Street but he is afraid of Nats ghost Ve have been out all day settling our usmess I gave Scofield a power of attorney to transactsome business for me and he wants to getaway and dot do-t But I didnt trust hun What a fool I was to marry him I Young1 Jicoll advised me to go and live at No il I paid him 500 to get me out of that House of Detention and Im going to follow his advice Ill go down to No 64 And sleep there all alone asked Sergeant Sheldon I Yes Im not afraid though poor Nat is dead Yes hes dead and both Scofield and Ferris ore glad hes out of the way What do you mean by that asked I the sergeant Dont you know Cantyou see Poor Nat Hatch how Iloved him I Here again she renewed her mutterings mutter-ings in so low a tone that the sergeant could not distinguish her words Suddenly Sud-denly she raised her voice saying Yes thep ire both gladp90 tile out of the way that he is dead But I am not glad for I loved him so dearly At that moment the fire alarm rang out just as it did when Mrs Bcofielc was going ° to tell her mysterlons secret a dayor twpfi aftetf t the tragedyHwasjfirst discovered During the bustle tan alarm always occasions in a police station sta-tion Mrs Scofield was forgotten and in a few tainutes after she left ttfo station There are two things to behremern bered When Scofield saw his wife committted by the Coroner he remarked in the hearing pf several persons U the I t-he would never go near her again yet she is not at liberty a week before he is found in her company and transacting transact-ing business under her direction But he refuses to occupy the lonely and almost empty house West Twentieth Street on the silly plea that it is haunted by the ghost of Mr Hatch The other fact is that although Mrs Scofield qntfrrel I wjth Eeiris 1 in the presence otithecoroner she joins him midnight dissipation What is the meaning of allihis Why t t are these three persons chained together to-gether by a band which evidently galls each alike Is there a common secret between them 7 Can there be some dark mystery as yet unexplained and unexpected These are questions that naturally suggest themselves In the language of Shakespeare Fou1 whisp eringsiare abroad 1 j DOES t K ieiEBBIB CO yl TEOL LIES SCOFIELD Yf Coroner Levy received another ann ymotfs letter Yesterday to add to the bumlle ofan ymot s m missives t t It et have been sent to him regarding the death of Brokea Hatch The1etter Vas from Chicago and bore the date qf May 22 1888J f 1 o The writer claims to have known Mrs Sdofield intimately when she was inS Francisco Concerning her life there the letter says It is true there was at that time a mystery surrounding her but I think I knew her as well as any one not thoroughly thor-oughly conversant with that mystery and will say that at thattime she had many noble and endearing traits ot character She had a bank account of about 75000 and many of the drafts upon that sum were drawu for charitable charit-able purposes Many could speak well of her if they had the manner to do it Ferris was then there and exerted a mysterious influence over nor It was beyond the ken of men how that popeyed pop-eyed disgusting piece of humanity could so control hear lifo She had a violent temper but it was under the most perfect control That she hated Ferris I have not the least doubt Its an even bet that she hates him new She was a woman of exceeding charm of mind and her physical charms were phenomenal She was kindhearted and would not hurt any one except perhaps as far us their pocketbook pocket-book was concerned and the paper tells me all I ever Knew of that I am convinced that Mr Hatchs sad death was a blow to her and I am also convinced con-vinced that Ferris hired the detective ai stated by him and for the reason stated for he was always insanely jealous of Mrs Stowell Besides he is so cowardly that if he and Mr Hatch < or any one else who had a grievance against him were in a gooni together Ferris would take his chances through the window rather than not get o tat t-at all A confession can be gotten from Mrs S 1 think but I dont think a careful inquiry will show that blackmail or murder was contemplated That Mr H would succumb to the many personal charms of Mrs S can scarcely be wondered at THB GRAND JURY DECLINE TO ACT The witnessed in the HatchScofield case were in attendance yesterday at the district attorneys office ready to be called if required before the grand jury Prior to the offering of testimony Acting District Attorney Bedford h dan d-an interview with the jury and said that he had made a
