WOMAN BRUTALLY SLAIN IN LONELY HOME
DEGENERATE, HIDING IN WOODS,
SOUGHT BY NASSAU AUTHORITIES
Mrs. Minnie Sa Bartlett, Widow of Former Well Known Hempstead Horseman, Murdered; Had Four Deep Stab Wounds in Head After Being Foully Assaulted by Unknown Miscreant, who Was Frightened Away Before Robbery, Evident Motive, Could be Perpetrated—'Police Seek Swarthy Individual who Professed to Want to Buy Property—Dog Placed on Trail Fails to Pick up Scent—Features of Murder Indicate Work of Sicilian.
Hempatead, Jane 23.—-Mr*. Minnie S. Bartlett* of 2 Falton avenue, Hempitead, was brutally murdered in her home yesterday afternoon, af¬ ter being foully attacked and making most desperate resistance. The mo¬ tive for the crime undoubtedly was robbery, but the arrival of the victim's sister "«t the house caused the murderer to flee without taking the cash and jewels which were iu the house. ¦> County and village authorities have work^ on the case every moment since they received report of the crime.
The most plausible theory is that a degenerate committed the crime. SeardI is now in progress for a man suspected, of whom a good descrip¬ tion has b.eeiiiiLgiven.
Arrest may be made at any time.
One man was detained for questioning, but he does not answer the description of the man under suspicion.
The murderer is supposed to be the man who called at the Bartlett home yesterday ostensibly to purchase the property.
Motorcycle Officer Brown of the Garden City police developed a new lead that, in time, may develop an arrest. This morning he found two negresses who say that when they were crossing the flelds back of the Hempstead baseball fleld lant night, which is known as Lush's Grove, a short, dark complexioned man wearing a blaok mustache, such as is the general description of the man suspected of the murder, accosted them.
They were frightened by his questions and by his general attitude and replied to him shortly and hurried away. They say his face was scratcihed, and his manner was agitated. He was clothed much as the suspect it desoribedL. — »'<¦.., .
An organized foroe is n6w searching the woods in the vicinity of Lush's Grove.

The theory that the crime waa com- 'mitted by a di-Kenerate is ba»c4l on the report of the autopHy, ma«l« by Dr. Jaques, in conntwtloii with the state¬ ment madi! by DanU^l Davis, of Heraii- Btead.
Mr. DavI.H sayw he has seen a man during: the last two or three days lolterlnj? about the >voodland near the ball ground. Ho was intere.sted espe¬ cially Tuesday night by the man's pe¬ culiar actions. Davis noted thnt the man would walk around sttimps two or three tlmea.

Juhn Buckley Questioned
John Buckley waa aiTested this morti- Ing In HemiMtead In the woods not far fixjm the hom? where Mrs. Bartlett waa murdered yeaterday. He is merely tak¬ en Into custody for the purpose of ques¬ tioning him and ts not charged with any crime.
He denies knowledge of any crime and while he Is being held tem|K>rarily not much signlflcance la attached to hta ar- IMed of BtranirulBtlon and Bboek
Dr. Arthur D. Jaqutts, of Lynbrook, said this momlng the autoi»sy had de¬ termined that the cause pf death was strangulation together with shock from a compound fracture of the jaw and skull.
Four wounds which at flrat were aup tXMed to have bfen bullet wounds,' as they were rotund and about the slse cf a plfttol bullet, prove*! to have beon in- Jlicti'd iiy atimv such Instrument as an ice riick or ii rouiui llic. presumably an Ice pick.
Theix) were dlscoloratlons on the fifce. whlch^were at ftrst thought to be^p«fw- der marks, but these, it was learned, were another form of soiling the skin.
No bullets were fbund in the brain.
There were very severe burlsas on t^a body and tha strwggl« tiad been so Mver« «¦ to biNng on hemorrhage of tha kidneys.
In the fine old houae that sets ttack in the trees thftt formed a bower for the two people who Mved a life of happy domeiiticlty until th^ hutdsand was taVen away Mrn. BarHetlt gave up her life, init M>t until nhe had struggled
through the ground floor rooms of that place that spelled home and happiness for her always. She was the widow of George W. Bartlett, who died sev¬ eral years ago.
Mr.s. Bartlett was choked senseless, beaten nnd stabbed four times In the upper part of the right cheek and ear.
Thei condition of the place |nhows the terrific struggle Mrs. Bartlett made for her life.
Sha was found lying under some of the rugs of her own dining room by Frederick Seabury, of the law firm of Seaman, Seabury & Oehrig, who Is a relative by marriage of the murder victim's sister.
It was the sister, Mrs. Robert. Sea¬ bury, of 2f>9 Washington street, whoae activities led to tbe flndlng of the crime and It was she who got Mr. Seabury to enter the hoUse when she feared that harm had befallen her sister. Evidence of Fierce Struggle
The interior of the house showed how hard Mrs. Bartlett had fought her as¬ sailant tor her honor and her life.
She had evidently been struck down with a blunt tnstrument just as she stepped back after closing thd door when she admitted the man she thought had cnnifi to buy her house.
This was his second appearance at the house that day and she was confi¬ dent that, having once showed him the house, he had come to buy.
Standing at the foot of the stairway, in the narrow little hall, the only place In the great house that ts small, she had no chance to defend iMrself. She was struck a severe blow and her nose glasiies and hair pins were dis¬ lodged and fell to the floor. The rugs were disturbed here also, as If there had been some stniggle, but that Mrs. Bartlett was titill alive and vlgoroua is evidenced by tha (broken hall |cloak rack against which she waa hurled as her captor half pushed and half car¬ ried her aa they fought, down the hallway.
Somewhere In this flght, Mrv-Biart- lett, who was a strong woman, much stronger than her more than n^lddle age Indicated, was wounded so that she was bleeding when she was borne' Into the library just off the dining room.
Dratta StrusKle in EHoIng Room On the rug in this {room was blood such aa would drip from an open wound and a man''8 heel mark in the blood showed aUUnly before the oouch where he e^ently laid his burden, dated or sybi-eonactoua btit >till abl« to flght as^ater evld«n«*e ahom.
Then th/ scan* of the crime ia trana¬ ferred tjp the dining rt>om and this room aMowa all tbe marica ot a flnal death Struggle in which Mrs. Bartlett lost. / ' Jus* how Mrs. Bartlett got from the
library to the dining room and how the unequal struggle was resumed there can only be guessed, but that a struggle did follow in which Mrs. Bartlett was jQrj^j;aUy 'slain ig^ll too evident.
The condition of the slain woman shows how hard she fought her fero¬ cious assailant, pushed back the table, overturned the chair.s and at one time Mrs. Bartlett evidently tried to reach a window for the shades were jciked dlmo.st from the hanging or el.so the murderer, with one hand free, jerked them down fearful that someone nilsht come by and .see the death struKKle through the window.
The events that brought about the death of Mrs. Bartlett here can uevej' be known unless the murderer is caught and confesses.
Her body was lying in a pool of blood, her "clothing torn partly from her, her head i^ain.st the baseboard of the room and her limbs .straightened out Into the room. ^^ . ..
Just when she was stabbed and the other injuries inflicted cannot bo told except that as she fought the infuriated man off he closed with her, wielding: the Ice pick or other instrument that wa.s blunt, but of sufficient edge to make a cut In her cheek. One wound apix'ars to have been inflicted by the handle of an ice pick.
Revolted at His Own Crime
Then the murderer, unable to face his ylctlm as she lay In the welter of her own blood, pulled over her the rugs that Mr. Seabury found when he and Gilmore returned to complete their investigation. *
The crime is the moat briftal that this section, perhaps all of Na.ssau County, has ever known and the very location of the fllle old house, the trees and gardens that the owner lovod .so well because of tender memories of the happy yeara she had .spent there with her husband served as the best means of cloaking the work of the murderer.
That his motive was robbery is the theory of District Attorney Charles R. Weeks, who took charge of the case and of the police of thts village, who were called by the neighbors.
The house sets back from the road but a short distance, bdt it is so screened by a high hedge, by t^e great trees in front of it and by the shrub¬ bery and the trellis on the sides that any crime or a series of them could be committed therein without anyone knowing that anything wrong was go¬ ing on.
That Mrs. Seabury, the aistar, sur¬ prised the murderer before he had had time to thoroughly search tho houso and therein foiled what the authorl ties t^lnk would have been a complete robbery Is also the theory of the offi¬ cers. They base this Idea on the story told by Mrs. Seabury.
Mysterious 'Phone Message
There is an element of mystery from another angle that Involves a woman who sent a mysterious telephone call to Mrs. Bartlett sometime yesterday morning but whether this was a "hap- plLnstance" or something that was a part of a well deflned plan to gain admisston to the home of a woman who was known to be well-to-do und wbo was also known to live alone in the big house with Ita; more than flf- teeh rooms is not dcfloitely known.
District Attorney \yeeks Is givlns much consideration to' this mysterious massage by a wontan who first re¬ fused to give her name and then, at- cording to Jdta. Selkbury, who relates part of what Mrs. Bartlett told a few hours before she was so foully killed, mid her name was Burkbardt or Burk- hdlts or soma similar name with an addresa m thia viUage-

SOLD LOADED CARTRIDGES TO BOYS IN FREEPORT; IS REPRIMANDED BY COURT
.scription that is most frequently told is that he is about fivp feet six inches in height, wore a brown .soft hut, i)o.s- sibly a cap, but more likely a feilora hat, and wore either a sunburned blue sliit or a llf^bt brown one that lunl been weathered. He is al.so said to lin Ve worn shoes'.sucli a.^'a rami la¬ borer might wear and thi).t they ap¬ peared to have been much weathered al.so.
The shoes stand out so prominently In all of the .stories told because neai'- ly everyone who thinks thoy .saw the suspect say they noticed tho .shoes nnd Mrs. Bartlett, talking by 'iihone to her sister a short time before she was mur¬ dered, tells of the coarse shoos worn by the man whom she said was in her home.
Had Consented to Sell Home
The Bartlett home waa for sale. Mrs. Bartlett had coucecjed thnt nuuli in response to- her sist^'r's pleadings that It was dangerous, to live there alone and while people had come to .see it no one had ever seemed to be able to close a desil for the nin- old place that had once been the farm house of a great farm, but ot which there is now- left lo acres. The place is located about a block outside of the villaKo limits and is in a section where houses are not set closely together.
A sign on one of the trees announced that the property was for sale and it is presumed that from his own obser¬ vation and i^the general appearance of the place tho mui-derer concluded that there were not many people in the home and went there pr(;pare<l to rob
it- It Is believed that he was In the house twice. It Is almoat certain that he saw the place froiA lop to bottom In the morning, intending to rob ii then, but when he found the well prc- .served and comely matron he resolved to come back and carry out his das¬ tardly plans in the aftemoon when he had had time to think ovei^ thom.
This line of reasoning of e.stabli.ihed by tho telephone talks that Mi-s. Bai-t- lett had with Mrs. Seabury during the day. the last of which was about 12 o'clock.
It waa during these talks that Mrs. Bartlett told Mrs. Seabury that a man had been to .see the house and that he was coming back in the afternoon with his wife to eet approval. Name Mrs. Bartlett Gave Mr-8, Seabury, telling of the early morning telepho;(ie call. s:iid that Mrn. BartlsU had said to her that tin- man who had called to byy the property was a radiator repair man wtth an estab¬ lishment in Hilton avenue, Oarden City. The name Mra. liartlett had gSven, (W recalled by Mis. Seabury, was either Nicholas Stefflna. oi possibly Stephune Nicholas.
The poitce of Oarden City have been UtuLble to find a man hearing either of those names.
Expect to Arrest Murderer Important cIum were obtained In tne early mornln«. making it sesm t^ure that the murderer would be In custody by night. It was reported that the authori¬ ties had loctsted the place wh<n-e a cer¬ tain suspect live.s. In the autskirts of Ijynbrook.
Freeport, June 23.—Old acquaintances were renewed at the ninth annual alum¬ ni banquet last night *t__the South .Shore Hotel when the'boys d.nit girls of the Freciwrt High School for many years enjoyed a reunion.

Many of her pupils are now successful buslneas men with fam¬ ilies. One and all liave a deep venera¬ tion and love for Miss Atkinson, who.so favorite yoll 1s:i"Oh co wow wow."
She responded to her to.ist "Remlnia- cpiices" with a flow of wit and jollity that kept tho graduates In laughter.

The man ^'ho is suspected of having committal the attack and then biii- tall.v murdered the lone woman was fir.st seen outside of the houso at about 8 o'clock in the morning by Mrs. I'atrick McCarthy, who lives directly across ¦ tho highw.ay from the Hartlett house. Mrs McCarthy says sho .saw tho man flrst walk along in front of th<- house closely .studying It. He sudden¬ ly halted after he had seen it from three sides, walked back to the gate, entered the yard and boldly rung the front door bell.
"1 watched for a minute," says Mr.s. McCaithy, "for I have frequently seen people ring there for a long time with¬ out being let in but flnnlly the door opened and Mrs. Bartlett let the man in and closed the door behind him."
That was the last Mrs. McCarthy saw of the man who is now thought to have as.saulted and then bejit, atab- b(Kl and finally killed the middle-aged woman, who was known only as a de¬ vout churchwoman and lino womanly character and neighbor.
What took place then is told In iho telephone talks that Mra. Bartlett had with Mrs. Seabury, her slater, who was the flrst to suspect that something was amiss in the gloomy loneliness of the big hou.se..
The .Sinter's Story
Mrs. Seabury goes back a little fur¬ ther than the events of the day because she tells of the fears for her sister's safety that have been ever pre.sent .since Mrs. Bartlett has live<i alone In the house that was built upwards of forty years ago along the roomy lines that w.erc meant for the big familie.s of that day.
Mrs. Seabury says that last night Mrs. Bartlett called her by "phono to .say that she had found a window broken in the house, that she thought it was boys who were trying to steal her preserves, and while she tried to show she was not nervous. Mrs. Sea¬ bury says she knew-that she Wiis per¬ turbed and told her to tell the police. Mrs. Bartlett did tell I'atrolman James H. Ricker, who is on duty at a flxed Ijo.st not far illstant and he assured her that he would" Lome nt her call at any time. ^
Mi-a. Seabury, uneasy herself be¬ cause of her sister's Isolated home, left her Washington slreet bouse and went to the Bartlett home, where she met her sinter a short way from the housen _ .
"Aa I came up to where sister waa," says Mra. Seabury. "I saw three men, of coarse I may have been nervous and they may not bave been there for any purpose, and tb«y disappeared around fhe hot«l and were i(«ne." Mrs. (Continued un pace 6).
