BINGHAM ADMITS JEWISH FIGURES ARE INCORRECT Says He Relied on Statistics , “Furished by Man on Whom He Had Relied.” GIRL'S BODY FOUND IN FOOT OF WATER, MAN'S TRAIL NEAR Footprints of Pretty Young |» Woman Mingled With Those of Companion. Police Commissioner Bingham re turned from his vacation to-day, He at once sat down and dictated a repudia- | tlon of the statement contained in hia North American Review article, that halt of the criminals froii tls city were of the Je race, With precipitate swiftness did the Po- lice Commissioner issue a statement in denial of what was published under his signature in the North American Re- ylew. He does not blame himself In. e matter, however, but puts the errors yj “S. K.” ON HER WATCH.

It or a suicide pact, with a man as the| other party to the tragedy, Next to the finding of the dead girl the most significant development thus | far is the discovery of a telltale trail of footprints in the sand and mud along | the shore just above where the body ‘Was first seen. There are two sets of thesc prints—those of a man who wore Tubbers, and those of a woman who wore high-heeled slippere—that lead from a road 100 yards back from high tide mark down to the water's edge. Only one set of footprints--those of the man-—return from the water back to the road, The high-heeled prints fit the slippers that were on the feet of the dead girl. The body was that of a nineteen-yeer- @id girl, five feet three Inches in height, weighing about 122 pounds, She had a fair complexion, abundant dark brown hair and large, deep dark blue eyes. ‘The dead girl wore a black silk walst and a black skirt of modern cut. There was a white oollar of fine lace, forming the combination known among women as half mourning, A blue straw hat | till clung to the head, held fast by two gold-headed pins. She had on black Ice stockings, hond embroivered, with high French heels, and black silk undergarments, Without exception, all of these garments were of fine tex ture and new.

Even the business of settling the row among hit deputies was passed aside, until the repudiation of his charges was said that a telephone message from Mr. Bingham's precipitation. Admits sis Error. The official repudiation of his “un- reliable” statistics follows: “My attention has been called to a serious complaint, made by Jewish citi- zens, concerning @ passage in an article recently published in the North Ameri- can Review, entitled ‘Foreign Criminals in New York,’ in which I said, that, under existing conditions, ‘it is not as- tonishing that with a million Hebrews, mostly Russian, in the city (one-fourth | of the population), perhaps half of the criminals should be of that race,’ and in which comment was made on the percentage of Jewish boys In the House of Refuge. “My purpose in writing the article, was not to publish statistics, nor to ene ter upon a scientific inquiry into the race or religion of those charged with criminality, but solely to make a plea for a secret service iund, in order that | criminality might be more effectively dealt with than is now possible. “To Indicate the necessity for addl- w-cut black kid slippers | {not comp.led by myself, but were fur- was marked “Stern Brothers, New| York.” The skirt bore the tag of “H.

The purse was marked “Proy- incetown, Mass.,’ wiih red ink, in @ woman's writing, The face was round and plump and’ decidedly pretty, Although they bore no rings, the fingers were shapely and well cared for, There were no callouses in the palms of the hands to show that | thelr owner had ever done any hard work. Despite the sodden garments and the wet, streaming hair, everything about the dead girl bespoke refinement and a luxurious Iife. In their examination of the vicinity the detectives happened upon the éerles of footprints which they think may help tell the story of the tragedy. These footmarks could not have been many hours old, for the tide hadn't been out very long. The man evidently wore rubbers. Side by side with the sharper, deeper indent of the small, high-heeled slippers, his rubber-coverea s had tracked from the Shore road down Into the water, Then they went back, by a slightly different route—alone. All sign of the high-heeled shoes vanished at the margin of the !
