Show lShe she got too cloe. I could see she was slipping, and I reached out and tried to catch her, but but " He didn't go on; he didn't have to. The" officers understood. People in the crowd offered their sympathy and help. "Nothing can help now," the man said listlessly. A detective put a gentle hand on his arm. "We'll-havto make a report. Can you come to " f . - . ' ' ' ' . . ' ' " e r the station?" The man nodded. His eyes were glassy, and he seemed to have little, interest in the proceedings. The young woman who had summoned the police also accompanied them to the station. She said her name was Mary Day and that the bereaved man was her brother, Arthur H. Day. She said that Arthur was a tailor in Rochester, N. Y. He had felt he couldn't afford a honeymoon at the time he had married, and the trip to Niagara Falls was actually a delayed honeymoon. Mary Day said she boarded at her brother's house, and the couple had invited her to make the trip with them. Arthur had bought the railroad tickets. They had taken a train to Niagara Falls, and crossed to the Canadian side. They had stopped for dinner at a hotel and then gone for a stroll-Marhad lagged behind, not wishing to intrude. If Arthur had been listening to his sister's account, he gave no indication of it He seemed to be in a daze. The detective who had been writing down the details turned to Day and coughed to cover his embarrassment 4This is just routine," he said. "May I see your identification?" "It's in there." Day handed over his wallet. Hie detective removed the papers, examined them, and jotted down notes. Then his manner abruptly changed. "We'll have, to hold you," he said, "until we can make a full investigation." ' Day was put in a cell and Rochester police were asked to check. They reported that Day was a tailor, as he claimed, and that he had a reputation for frugality. All his neighbors had heard of his miserly habits. He haggled with the grocer and the butcher over every ounce of food and bought "only the barest necessities. He had never "been known to squander a penny. He was 35 and his wife 10 years older. She was homely and fat, and nobody understood why the handsome tailor had married her. He had insured her life for $5,000. Both she and Mary not to mention the neighbors had been surprised when Day announced he would treat them to a trip to Niagara Falls. After the Canadian police had digested the report, Day was accused of pushing his wife over the cliff so he could collect the insurance money. He was convicted of murder, and was hanged r; -- V; :i y on Dec. 18, 1890. But before he went to the gallows, Day asked the detective why he had been suspected. "I had everything planned so carefully. I just don't understand where "I slipped up." "It was your frugality," the officer replied. "I believed your story until I looked in your wallet and saw the railroad tickets. You bought round trips for yourself and your sister. But you weren t wasting any more than you had to on your wife. You knew you were going to push her into the falls, so you had the foresight to buy only a oneway ticket for her!" - 1M V !V:"-;'- 'iX 5 ., ' , - ;. v. ....... ., - t.
