Peter Downey, a West End motorman, gives his account of a past friendship with Annie Mullins and denies romantic ties. Police probe includes a stained handkerchief bearing a possible name and a gray overcoat description as they chase a suspect who led Mullins away from the Von Jagemann home.
The Emperor announced a postponement of the imperial yacht Hohenzollern's departure until Monday to handle a matter. It is believed Dr. Hill would be welcomed in Berlin as American ambassador, with cordial attention from the Emperor and the German government. Observers think the move signals friendly concern over American representation.
Motorman Peter Downey described his account of knowing Annie Mullins to a Post reporter. Downey, a slight-built man about 5 feet 8 inches, dark, with blue eyes and jet black hair, spoke calmly about the notoriety surrounding Mullins death and treated the situation as a common mishap. He answered every question posed to him.
An ad touts Brown's Bronchial Troches for coughs and throat disorders with years of testing. Sold only in boxed sets priced at 25 cents, 9 cents, and one dollar, advertised as free from anything harmful.
Dr. T. M. Durell told the Post yesterday that Miss Mullins likely took her own life by slitting her throat. He noted no struggle or assault, no sign of drugs, and said a killer would have left wounds on both hands if involved. He questioned why a knife was not found and suggested it could have disappeared.
Relatives announce funeral tomorrow at Mrs. Margaret Graham’s home 181 West Sixth street South Boston for Annie Mullins murdered in Arlington. The body will be sent to St John’s Newfoundland after services and burial plans were discussed with family members.
The article records Berkman denying knowledge of the bomber at the Union Square gathering. Inspector Schmittberger defends his dispersal order and denies ordering clubbing. Witness Hunter recounts his escape from a horse and police dragging him as a peaceful aid meeting devolved into violence.
Alexander Berkman denied knowing Silverstein or how the bomb-thrower obtained the letter signed with Berkman’s name. He said Miss Goldman is in the West and neither of them helped plan the demonstration.
Translations of letters found in Silverstein's room support police belief that the bomber was closely allied with archists. George Robinson, arrested near Union Square after the explosion, was held without bail at Jefferson Market Court as a witness arraignment with six others. Silverstein remains alive at Bellevue Hospital conscious and active while authorities review his statements.
Robert Hunter, the sociologist, says he was unaware speechmaking was forbidden at Union Square before arriving. Police history shows Ignatz Hildebrand, the bomb victim, had no ties to the unrest and was an invalid student of chemistry aged under 20.
