WALK, They Say She Came from Vir- ginia and Has a Cousin in This City. MAY HAVE BEEN A MANIAC’S WORK Theory that the Murderer Is Also the Slayer of Little Susie Martin. Robert B. Dedman, a porter, of 19 West Twenty-sixth street, and Bemous Sprutedell, an expressmun, of 431 West Eighteenth street, both colored, called at the Morgue this afternoon and pos'- tively identified the body of the mur- dered girl as that of Mamle Needab, about twenty-seven years old, who, up; to a few days ago worked as a domestic for @ Mrs, Foster at 89 Sixth avenue, ‘The girl came from Virginia about three years ago, they say, and for a time lived with her sister somewhere in New Jersey. The men sald she had a cousin Ma- mie who lives at Twenty-sixth street and Sixth avenue, The dead girl’e parents live in Vir- ginia, The men with @ policeman, went to look up the cousin, The last time the men saw her was fat a cake walk at the Madison Square Garden. Drag Nets in All Directions. From Tenth street to Canal street, on the went side of the city, the police had their dragnets out last night searching for a clue to the Identity of the young colored worran whose mutilated body was found in front of the New Yor! Bank Note Company's Building, Wa- veriey place and Sixth avenue, on nS SIGNATURE FOUND ON THE BODY. Every house where a colored man ‘was known to live was searched in the hope that some of the dead woman's clothing or other effects might be found. Evidence has accumulated which seems to convince the police that the woman was murdered or at least was in stable a short time previous to her death. ‘The fact that manure was found on the poles of the women's feet, and further- more that it was discovered upon the bundle, seems to satisfy some of the men who are on the case that such is the fact. The search of houses and sta- bles began shortly before 6 o'clock last evening, and {t was mid- erat Dera Ook [“ Circulation Books Open to All.” | NeW YORK, ‘TUESDAY the Central Office men and of the Charles street, Prince street and Macdougal street sta- tions gave it up. Not a shred of infor- mation that might be.of any value w: discovered, nor were any of the dead woman's garments found. May Have Been Done by a Maniac. These facts being conceded, it ts be- Weved that the murderer was not an expert, such as the work of the Denver strengler showed. It is thought that the fiend must have becn @ maniac, and that when the craze for blood came on, the impulse to kill was Irresistible. In this connection the murder of thir- teen-yeax-old Susie Martin over a year ago is recai'ad, Her body was mangled in much the same way, The body was cut up and botled. By some it is thought that the slayer of the young colored woman on Sunday morning may prove to be the person who decoyed and killed Susie Martin. ‘The mystery of the latter's murder is still unsolved. Then, as now, the drag net was spread. It was believed to have been a murder of Oriental character, ‘and rvery Chinese resort was raided and searched. Believe It Was a Colored Man. In this latest mystery, however, the: police strangely enough insist that no one but a colored man killed the woman. They do not seem to credit the possi- bility that 4 white man or a white or colored woman could have committed it. Late last night the poice officials at Headquarters gave out a statement which the morning papers, tak:ng it for granted as absolutely true, published. It was that the murde-:d woman came from Heathaville, Va. and that she was positively identified by Mrs. Medora Robinson, of Hoboxen, Accord'"g to the story,Mrs. Robinson, who is an Intelligent mulatto, and lives at 71 York street, Jersey City, and is the maid in the woman's waiting-room Jat a Hoboken station, looked long at the face at the Morgue yesterday, ex- amined every feature, and then said positively and deliberately: “That's the { girl; I'm certain of it.” Mrs. Robinson, it was said, told the station ai 10 A. M, last Tuesday, and said she had come from Heathville to look for work in New York and that she had brought @ recommendation with her. She came on the train alone, Mrs. | Robinson noticed that she wore a plain | gold ring on het finger, She carried a little bundle, in which she had tled up her clothes She did not tell her nam but said she had friends living in Thomp- son atreet, this city, Telegrams Sent to Virginia. ‘Telegrams have been sent by the De- tective Office, in order, if possible, to find out where the woman's Thomp- son street friends jive; but as there is | no telegraph office at Heatheville, and «-@ needed information must come by way of Fredericksburg, it may be some time before it ip received. Mrs. Robinson, according to the police, had positively ideatified the woman, and the cloth in which the body was found wrapped up. Much doubt, however, was thrown upon this {dentification this morning by inquires made at the Charles street police station, When asked to state positively whether Mrs, Robinson had {dentifled the| woman's ring and the particle of cloth- | ing Capt, Delaney declined to answer. | He said, in fact, that he could not go} into it, and intimated that he had in- struction from Headquarters to remain silent. “All T will say Is that there are col- ored people and their memory 1s very good, As to whether or not I think the identification pos:tive, I am not prepared to answer at this time, Headquarters has the ci Says No Identification Was Made. One of the officers attached to the precinct station, however, who was ac: | tually present whea the “identification” | was made, eald that Mrs. Robinson did not ‘dentify any of the articles as al- | leged. “As a matter of fact,” said he, “Mrs, Robinson did not tdentify anything at| jall. She thought they looked like the! articles which the woman she had met police the girl arrived at the Hoboken | | have been requ | street, near Bleck: e had talked to in the depot norning last, and who she deacribed to the police, and also told the police that the woman sald she had come North from Heathsville, Va., and after @ short stop in Newark, where she worked as a servant, was going to visit friends in Thompson street. Capt. Delaney was summoned by tele- phone to Police Headquarters early this morning. On reaching there he held a conference with Inspector McAvoy and afterwards with Acting Inspector Mc- Cluskey, of the Detictive Bureau. The consultation was short and after- wards McCluskey said that there was absolutely nothing new in the case, He declined to discuss it or theoriz More Theortes Advanced. To an “Evening World" reporter one of the Headquarters detectives who was in the search through the houses of colored men yesteruay said that the ofMcials placed no credence whatever in Mra. Robinson’s {dentification story. He added the belief that the murder was committed within four or five blocks from the place where the body was found. It ts not thought now that she was killed in some part of Jersey and then taken over here. If the police did believe in the theory that the body was brought over on one of the Christopher street ferry-boats, it is odd that none of the deck hands on any o fthe boats has been questioned. Yet had any wagon with @ suepicious bundie been seen by them, they would surely have noticed it. Again, the crime Was committed on Sunday morning and the one s! Tuesday few vehicles, beyond the milk wagons, cross the ferry on that day. There were few people around the Place this morning where the body was found, but nearly every pedestrian paused a moment in passing to glance atit. The Cheese-Cloth C There is one theory upon which the police are at work, in fact have been from the first, from which they hope to accomplish something. It h.nges upon the piece of cheesecloth with which the woman was strangled. Cloth, they maintain, of that particular make, could only come from one of two places—from the Bank Note Company where the body was found, or from the rag shop, where the cheesecloth is washed after being soiled with cleaning the plates ‘The police think that the person who strangled the woman must have ha access to the Bank Note Company's | building in order to obtain the cloth. Even the Bank Note officials, however, ed to keep allent. The detectives a dozen cities are now at work on the case, Hvery paper in the country has puviished the details of the crime, It has been dis- cussed averywhere, yet the inystery as to_whe the woman was Is unsolved. Strangled, as she must have been, ybiie asleep in bed, her legs cut off and ndied ‘up, piaced next a crowded ‘thoroughfare, her friends, if she had any, have not yet missed he: Such 1s New York, The mystery in all probability will remain unsolved, Just ae ls the th of Susie Martin and the dozen of other murders which make up the list of which nothing was heard after the interment in ter's Field. They See Resemblances. About twenty-five people called at the Morgue during the morning to try to identify the body. One of the callers, G. Wise “Morton, of 14 Cornelia street, thought she strongly resembled a woman whom he saw quarreling with a colored man In Duval's restaurant on Carmine , Saturday night. jancy, a Beventh avenue car conductor, of ' 608 West Forty-ninth street, thought the dead womun re- sembled a woman who got on his car about @ week ago, between 1 and 2 o'clock in the morning, and got off at jompaon and Third streets. | She carried a bundle and said she was from Rabwa: Clancy’ also said the dead woman re- emb.ed a woman who frequently a His (car atexs i Sock in th mo) and who, he thinks, lives at either {i or 138 Macdougal street. J.B. Ch | Thinks He Saw Her with a China- At 2 o'clock this afternoon, Charles Roester, of 66 Prospect place, ‘Brooklyn, Was standing in front of the Bank Note Company's Building on Sixth avenue, To an “Evening World” reporter he said he had a clue that would probab:y prove valuable to the police.
