noon Coroner Warren and Chief OF Police Robinson
were engaged In investigating case OF a very mys
ferrous character, which has caused no little excite
ment among the citizens near West End. 1t appears
that about three weeks ago a Scotchman, named
William Cnesser, came with his wife to Hudson City
IN search OF employment, and was shortly afterwards
hired as laborer at the water works, near the Hack
ensack bridge. some ten days ago he announced
TO his fellow labOrers his intention OF emgratlng
with his wife TO Canada, and after two days they
both took their departure at West End en- route for
that country. Shortly after gong on board the train
they were overheard by some OF the officials TO
speak In harsh terms and quarrel with each other.

investigation Meanwhile the examinations made
by the Chief and Coroner cast a shade OF suspicion
over the whole affair. Bundled IN the luggage OF
the prisoner every article Of the clothing which the
wife had worn on gong away was found tightly

bring them back. There are various rumors
some OF the workmen averring that he dumped her
into the rivers while others incline TO the belief
that he mad caused her death by greater violence in
tion. The prisoner will be held IN custody until the
authorities are satisfied that he Is innocent OF the
charges made against him. which is anything but
probable at the present time.
