First avenue. As the doctor neared the house
he recognized the policeman, and Immediate
ly ran into Boyans liquor store, at Thirty
seventh street and Second avenue, and tried
to hide In a closet. Sergeant Rooney was close
after him. and, dragging him from his hiding
place, led him Into the street. By this time
large multitude, attracted by the presence o.
the police, had gathered in the neighborhood
As the sergeant returned to the street with his
prisoner, the crowd closed In on him, and the
cry went up of s'StrlDg the wretch up to 6

KNOWN TO THE POLICE.
The doctor has gained netoriety with the po-
lice, to whom he Is known as DR.. Ascher. He
denied all knowledge of the murder, and said
that Il was all mistake. DR.. RosenZweig Is q
Pole. He came to New York from Platz, Po-
land, about seven years ago, and Immediately
commenced the practice Of medicine. He Is q

sixth street. He Is about thirty-fve years old
and very stout, with large, coarse features.
His hair, which is light flaxen. curls tightly to
his head, and Is worn parted In the middle.
He has wife and several children, one an In
fant rpur weeks old. Pickett said he believed
Rosen Jweig to be the man who had given him
the trunk, but he was not sure that he had
ever seen the girl before. The wife, he thought,
was In the basement at the time Of It's deliv-
cry, and asked him where he was going to
take 1t. However, he was not very clear on
these points.
On further examination it was found that
Mrs. Rosenzweig, who first denied all know
ledge of the trunk business. said very inno-
Gently that she was too delicate to be down
stairs on Saturday when the truckman called,
but hastily correcting herself, she again pro-
tessed total ignorance Of any such affair having
transpired. Inspector Walling found out af-
terwards that the woman had been down to
the basement four or FIVE times since her con-
finement. DR.. Rosenzweig has two houses In
(which he carries on his business. Those who
know him say that about two years ago he
kept lager beer saloon in this city, but prob
ably not finding 1t as profitable as he desired,
he turned his attention to the practice" OF
medicine. He is q fat, coarse and sensual
looking fellow, without any traces of refine
ment in person or manners, and does not bear
the faintest appearance of the educated phys!-
clan.
MORE LIGHT.
A thorough search OF DR.. Rosenzweig's
premises failed to discover the woman who
had caused the trunk to be checked. The
house is still under surveillance. Rosenzweig
has a diploma from The so-caled medical col
reffcent, and denies all knowledge of the
affair, though the police claim to possess posi-
tive evidence OF his completely. Inspectors
Jameson and walling believe they have Q GER
tain clue to the woman who accompanied the
trunk to the depot.
ANOTHER CLUE.
A notice came to Inspector Walling to-day,
from the eighteenth precinct, that an under
taker had called at the stationhouse and testi-
fed that man called on him few days ago
and wished him to bury a body; which he
stated was that of his servant; also that he did
not care how 1t was buried, but wished 1t done
quickly, and that he only wanted the hearse.
yshe undertaken, who gives his name as James
~. Boyle, and place Of business as No. 658 Sec
ond avenue, was then shown the doctor, and
identified him as the man who called on him
and wished to have the body OF his servant
buried. Boyle says he asked the doctor for
certificate, and the doctor wanted to know If
she could not be buried without a certificate.
Boyle also says the doctors manner was calcu-
lated to excite suspicion, as he seemed fearful
of every sound. Boyle signed the above state
ment, and declared he 1as willing to testify in
court at any time.
(BY TELEGRAPH.l
The body in the trunk has been finally iden-
Titled as Alice Bowlesley, of Paterson, N. j.
The teeth, the peculiar position of a vaccine
! mark. q mole and scar made the identifca.
zion complete. A handkerchief, marked A.

residence.

connected with the Bowlesley affair, has COM
mitted suicide. Bail has been refused In the
