comes from Paterson touching this question Of
,, WHO THE TRUNK CHECKER WAS.
Mr. William j. Healey whose butcher shop IS at
g. NAN street, Paterson, knew Alice Bowisby and
her mothers family well. He says rnat on Monday,
Alice in company w,th another woman. IN
street going up towards broadNay, ana thinks vas
Broadway He again saw her, accompanied By the
same woman, on Broadway, between Cortlandt
street and ST. Paul's church. The woman with her
WAS PATERSON WOMAN,
but who 1t was has escaped Mr.. Healey's mind, as
he thought nothing OF the circumstance again TILL
To-day and ne has been trying all dav TO recall VINO
the woman with her He says he wll probably
remember the woman Instantly as soon as he sees
her In the street or anywhere or II he hears her
name, and thinks he VIII yet be aole to recall
name. "She was snort, thicS woman, and wore a
roundish hat, and came Just about up to Alice's
shoulder lie says he thought. as she passed, how
weii Alice looked. and his attention was manly at
tracted towards ner as he was acquainted with her
and thought OF her being fne Paterson glrl. This
was about eleven O'CLOCK in the morning.
~ is probable tnat Aice met this woman by APP
day before her death, for 1t must be remembered
that she left her Newark friends for home on the
Wednesday following, gong by the way OF New
York and not VIA the direct Newark aud Paterson
route. Even If her friends IN Newark were not
aware OF ner going TO New York on the preceding
COULD EASILY HAVE SLIPPED OVER TO NEW YORK
by appointment and not have been missed from
Newark, as the cars run between Newark and Jersey
City every fifteen minutes. II was without DOUBT on
the Monday wnen seen by Mr. Heaiy that the ar.
rangements were consummated which culmlnated
III her dea h.
Here Is information for the detectives. The woman
may simply have been an acquaintance bound TO
New York on honorable business. II so let her
come forward aud state where she last saw Alice.
But
TUE TRUNK CHECKER WAS SHORT AND STOUT
and II 1t should be the woman seen with Alice, she
most probably returned direct to her home in New
Jersey the safest place TO avoid the scent OF the
police. Alice's acquaintance In Pate son may or
may not have been limited but 1t is surely within
the reacn OF discovery Il such woman as answers
both descriptions was among her lnIiniates. at
present ths woman Is the missing lnK-the dark
tice Is shedding the light from his baleiul eyes.
