In the work yesterday the official excavators went down about six feet and uncovered the entrance to & subterranean passage which seems to pass under the front wall of the building in a northerly direc- tion: Whither it leads has not been 'settled. Huge boulders bar the way of the diggers, and are removed slowly and laboriously by block and tackle. No one in the neighborhoop ques- tioned by the police acknowledged even having heard of this under- ground passage, which may have marked the path of some big sewer pipe, or may have been & secret way hidden away amidst the debris that chokes this old tunnel, credit will belong, almost exclusively,*'to Miss Grace Humiston, lawyer, of No. 50 East Forty-second street, who repre- sents the Cruger family. It was she who obtained a permit from Police Commissioner Woods to dig up the cellar and, by order of the commis- sioner, Detective’' Frank McGee, who is attached to the Fourth Branch Detective bureau, accompanied Miss Humiston and directed the work of excavation. It is known that when Ruth Cruger lett her home last Feb. 13 she went Xo Cocchl’s shop for ice skates that had been left there to be sharpened. She vanished, and a nation-wide search has falled to reveal a single clew to her. Coochi, soon after the girl's disap- Dearance, fled the country, ebandon- knowledge of Ruth Cruger's fate, in- sisting that he has had nothing to do with the girl's disappearance. From the very beginning of the po- lice investigation this man has been under suspicion, and there 1is small room for doubt that extradition has been carefully considered by District Attorney Swann. But the only direct charge ageainst him is one of aban- donment, and that is not extraditable. TRIPLE MURDER CHARGED, Farmhand Arrested for Killing Em- ployer and Family. Flemington, N.
