The girl refused to believe that August had anything to do with it. His parents live on a farm near Dutchess Junction, New York. Tiie victim, with her daughter, ar rived at New York last Thursday. Eherijard is employed in a grocery store In St. NicholA pvenue. He settled them at a hotel here and con verted the money into American notes. He took them to the country on the pretext of heat. At Rochelle park at his suggestion the trio strolled In the fields. Eber hard claimed he had lost the way. A thunderstorm broke. The woman stumbled on the track, exclaiming she had been struck by lightning Miss Eberhard says there were three flashes from behind a car on a sid ing. As her mother fell the girl felt a bullet graze her own neck, cutting a gold chata. Eberhard urged her to run and as she did so she was struck by two bullets. A nearby cottage cared for the girl till Sunday. The murderer must have shot the widow as she lay prostrate. V HI SHOP POTTER DEAD. Episcopal Prelate Pa** New York.
