Reports link the Woods couple to the Colonel Best death and to Mrs. E A Waldron, who died under Woods care in Asbury Park on March 3 1902. Neighbors say jewelry and money vanished, with a necklace taken as Waldron died. Reuter claims Woods pressed a $600 claim against Waldron’s estate after isolating her with his partner. Dr Alexander Williamson notes Waldron showed improvement before death and hints of poisoning.

Funeral of Monsignor Volpini in Rome Angers Watchers
Rome July 10 The body of Monsignor Volpini was not laid out in the usual manner and only two candles burned until near exhaustion when a noble Roman woman viewing the corpse raised an outcry. Burial was hurried with a plain communal hearse and a modest procession to the Church of Santa Maria. The bells of St Peter’s tolled briefly, surprising given the prelate’s death was kept from the Pope.
