New York, September Cit is ex-
pected that Rosenweig, the murderer OF
the young lady whose body was found in
the trunk at the Hudson River railroad
depot, will base his defense on the state
ment Of wit>ess to the abortion.
Frank Trip, who was implicated by
rumor, in the affair; has returned from
the East, and declares his ability to re-
flute all charges against him.
Two medical gentlemen from Phila-
delphia called at the police headquarters
this morning and stated they were anx-
ious to examine the diploma of DR.. Ros-
enweig to test the genuineness OF the
document. They came fully identified and
recommended, and we're allowed to exam
inc he diploma, which purports to come
from the American University, Philadel-
phia.
They pronounced it not genuine, but
one which had probably been secured
by purchase. Both agreed as to the
bogus nature of.the document. They
minated that the medical college which
they represented wished steps to be taken
for the abolition of all such quacks and
quackery.
Detective Bress, of Paterson, who ar
rived at police headquarters this morn
ing, stated he had a clue which would
lead to the discovery of the woman who
had accompanied the trunk containing
the body of Miss Bowlsby to the depot
He told the same to Captain Cameron,
who stated that he himself had already
worked out a clue, and knew exactly
where the woman was at that moment,
and she will be arrested at no distant
day. au
The remains of Alice Bowlsby, the
unfortunate victim of the trunk mys-
terry, are to be taken to Patterson, N. j.,
for interment. The detectives are still
at work on the case, and it is given out
that the arrest of the woman who accom-
panied the trunk to the depot, and who
is now the only person wanted to com
plete the evidence, is only matter of
time.
