-_~ MURDERED GIRL FLUNG IN THICKET, AFTER HER DEATH Coroner's Physician Declares Spuyten Duyvil Victim Was Slain Elsewhere. TRIED TO BEHEAD HER. Finger Prints May Reveal Iden- tity and Clutched Hair Gives Only Clue. Coroner's Physician Weston, who to- @ay made, in preparation for the au- topsy to-morrow, aAuperficial examina: tion of the body of the woman who was found murdered on Sunday night in Cold pring Grove, near @puyten Duyvil Creek, gave the police a clue to work on when he decided from the evidence of the wounds that aho had not been killed in the found, but at some distant spot—per- haps one of the shanties in the neigh- orhood. Dr. Weston based this deduction on v@ fact that at the spot where the body as discovered there was no such pool 8 must have been caused by the at- mpt, which clearly had been made, to wer the victim's head from her body. OLICE ELAY LOST CLUES, SAYS WESTON. Dr. Weston was angered by the andling of the case by the police. He pelared there had been unnecessary elay in getting the body to the Morgue, nd much valuable testimony was oubtiess lost this way. The body was bund about 10 o'clock Sunday night, and was allowed to Ile in the rain all night and until! late Monday morning. ‘Then it was taken to the St. Nicholas avenue police station, and when it was removed from there last night it was transferred to the Harlem Morgue. It not until to-day that it reached regular morgue at Bellevue, t' the physician had an opportunity to ex- amine it, Dr, Weston decided that death had been caused by blows on the hi probably with the shoemaker's iron Jast which an Evening World reporter found yesterday near the body. In ad- dition, there were twenty-fite ab wounds on the scalp, neck, face, arms end hands, and an effort had been made to cut off the head, ‘De, Weston postponed the autopsy un- tl to-morrow to give an opportunity for @n identification of the woman to-day, ‘But no one called at the Morgue. Ignor- ance of the identity of the victim is handicapping the golice, but they are looking for a man about thirty-two warm did, five feet. eight inches tall and welghing about 175 pounds, who had dark brown hair like the strands which were clutched in the stiffened fingers of the dead girl. Practicalty the only clue on which the Police can work was supplied by John J, itugerald, aclerk in the jewelry de- partment of the Appraisers’ Stores, at No. 1 Washington street. Mr. Fits- gerald liv on Two Hundred and Tweifth street, between Ninth avenue and the Harlem River. He told the po- Nee that shortly after 7 o'clock Sunday night he noticed a man such as he de- weribed and a girl resembling the vic- tim of the murder quarreling in the atreet near his home. The mri was ing. The couple walked off toward where the girl's body was found. TW IDENTIFY VICTIM AS ANNIE CHOPECK. But while the search for thie man is being continued, it Is the girl's identity which the palice want most to establish, There is a chance that ehe may prove to have been Annie Chopeck, who came from Slavonia five months ago. Mary Lekas, of No, 2550 Spuyten, Duyvil road, and Kathleen Lastowgki, of No. 2665 tho t, viewed the body of t! d, In appearance and in and quality of the clothing, it ri Milas Chopeck. They knew only that she worked for , & corset manufacturer living near the subw: t One Hundred and Eighty- first street and St. Nicholas avenue, They met her at a party in Brooklyn last week and she prémised to call on them last Sunday, but did not. They could not make a positive Identification, and the police believe Annie Chopeck will be found alive, ONE THEORY 18 SHE WAS MUR- ER DECOY. The fact that foreigners from about Becond avenue and Fourteenth street had a picnic in Cold Spring Grove on Sunday gave rise to the theory that the girl possibly might have been the one | who lured William Lustig to the “Humpty” Jackson restaurant in front | of which he was shot by. gangsters last week and that the gangsters had killed the girl to protect themselves. There is | no particular reason for this theory and the police are paying little heed to It. ‘They are still working on the theory that the gir) was killed by a man with whom sho had been intimate and who had his own reasons for wanting her READERS Of The WORLD oa pete ET AFT. per w ‘orld, Bo Der ed, ig pot Bunday your Femfitance te NEW YORK WORLD thicket where the body was) and; [is WOMAN INFERIOR | THE EVENING WORLD, TUESDAY, AUGUST 13, 1913. 0 MAN? + «+ Copyright, 1913, by The Press Publishing THE: Womaw GULLIVER, PItNaD Te EARTH LirrTce DuTias;: Choosing “Marriage and for fame.
