She was cap- tured at tho bottom and dragged back, After several hours of carousal some of the men went away and others fell asleep. While they slept the woman, leaving her clothing behind her, escaped, ‘The drunken rolsterers slept on until & man who fs employed by the rallroad found the frozen body of the unfor- tunate woman, This man had been with the gang and had shared In thelr de- bauoti, He aroused the drunken sleep- ers, ‘They were terribly alarmed when they loarned that she was dead, and |t was then that they decided to bury her ciothing in the snow, Was Bound with Ropes, 'The police claim to haye learned from ‘one of these men that the woman was at one time during Friday night bound with ropes to keep her from running away, “We will have some terrible facts to Jay before Prosecutor Emley,” sald De- tective McInerney, Two of the men under detention are fons of policemen. This has given rise to a report in Paterson that the police ar: trying to cover up the case, but thie fa denied.

The pollce at firat believed that the gang of rufflans took the woman's ‘clothing from her and burned her shoes to prevent her escaping from them, but after questioning all the men concerned in the affair they have deolded that the shoes were accidentally burned while the woman was trying to dry them, Abowt midnight she was left alone in the hut.
