A CHASTITY HORROR.
FeTretting out the Details of an Abortion
and Murder Case in New York.


| victim of abortion, whose remains
were conveyed in trunk to the Hud-
son river depot on Saturday, is clear
| ing ND, there is no reason to doubt.
| The principal criminal is now in the
| hands of the police, and there is every
probability that every one concerned
| In the crime will be under arrest be-
fore morning. All day long boy
who saw the trunk brought to the
CITY. aided by the best detectives on
| the force. are securing the city. At
81 O'Clock detective telegraphed In
spector WalIing: "I have the trunk;
| come to the Eighteenth precinct" At
8 O'Clock the Eighteenth precinct tel
epraphed: We have the truckman."
It appears that just before 8 O'Clock in
the afternoon the owner, VINO was also
driver, went to Wander and Brenner,
at Bellevue Hospital, and told him he
| had taken the trunk, mentioned IN
the papers as having been found with
a dead body in 1t, and asked if the po.
lice WOnId lock him up If he delivered
himself, and on Wander's assurance
that he would not, the truclman, who
turns out to be VIM. Pickett, of
TWenty-seVenth street and First ave-
nue., jnstead of Trip, went with
Brenner to the Eighteenth precinct
station, and told Captain Cameron
that on Saturday, about 2 O'Clock in
the afternoon, woman came up
where his truck was standing, on the
corner of Third avenue and Twenty
ninth street, and said she was going
to Chicago, and wanted him to
take the trunk for her from
628 Second avenue to Hudson depot,
west of Thirty-first street; he asked
her if she was going to ride with him,
and she answered no, will get car
riage, and get over there before you
do. He drove to the house given
above, which was occupied by Jacob
RosenZWeig, a physician, received
the trunk and took it to the depot,
where he met the woman; after he
got the trunk on the truck and before
he started with it, the woman handed
him a lve-dollar bill; he didn't have
theehangea and took it to liquor store,
changed it and gave her all but his
fare; that was the reason why she did
not pay him at the depot; she asked
to have a rope put around the trunk,
and a boy who stood there asked the
a
paid attention to him; the truck
said the boy carried the trunk from
the truck to the counter, So far the
statements of the boy and tie tTuck-
man agree together. Cameron, with
some detectives, went to the house in
dieated on Second avenue; they in
auired for DR.. ROsenzWeig; he was
not in; Captain Cameron posted his
detectives under command Of Sergeant
Rooney, who knew the doctor; Cam
eron took possession of the house, aud
searched it from the roof to the s4h
cellar; in it were ROsenZWeig's wife,
her child, four weeks old, grown up
daughter, a servant and Mrs. Pick
EFT, They were taken at once to
the house, but cOuld not identify her
at present as the woman who accom-
panied the trunk to The depot. Mean
time RosenzWeig entered. He entered
a LIQUOR store near his residence, fol-
lowed by Rooney. RosenZWeig, see-
ing Rooney, ,endeavored to escape by q
side,doOr by the latter, who grappled
him, and struggle took place. The
officers posted in the neighbOrhOOd
rushed into the store, and ROsenZWeig
was secured. The people then made
a rush for the store, crOWding around
the doorway, shouting, "Hang him to
a lamp-post." The policemen ran
with their prisoner into the avenue,
and, bearing back the excited crowd,
put him into The car and took him TO
the statiOn-hOuse. ROSenZWeig is q
German Jew, stout, with light, curly
hair, square face and low forehead,
and has been carrying on the female
doctor business about six years. He
denies that the trunk was taken from
his house, or that he knows anything
about it.
Later in the evening information
was received that ROsenZWeig has Il
place of similar character at IL Fifth
avenue, and advertises "Dr. .Ascherald,
No. Amity Place, relieves ladies in
trouble at once; no fees until cured"
Detectives Immediately went to seize
the house and arrest all in it. Last year
RosenzWeig kept the Thompson. Six
years ago he kept over cor. Houston
and Broadway; before that he sold Ia
ger in Chatham street. Three different
families suspected his disappearance,
and three different women agree as to
the published description of the corpse
and one photograph handed to the in
spector last night, but did not answer
to identify the body. Two more pho
tOgraphs will be presented this morn
ing to those who saw the body before
it was decomposed.
The body of the woman found in
the Hudson River depot has been rec
oguized as the girl who boarded in
house on the corner of Wooster and
Bleeker streets. A little research de-
velOped the fact that a sister of the
deceased lived in Brooklyn and had
visited the dead girl. From the de-
scription given by the carman it was
established that she was the woman
who hired the truck and took the
fatal trunk to the depot. The officers
Immediately telegraphed to Brooklyn
for the address of the woman in ques-
ton, which was easily found, but she
had left twenty four hours previously.
She was Well-knOWn where she lived,
and thorough description of her was
obtained, which was Immediately
telegraphed to Chicago, where she is
supposed to have gone. Another
dispatch, and an urgent one, was sent
from police headquarters to Chicago
this morning. A notice came to In
spector Walling to-day, from the
Eighteenth Precinct that an under
taker had called at the station house
and testified that man had called on
him few days ago and wished him
| to bury body which, he stated, was
his servant; also that he did not care
how it was buried, but wished it done
quick; he only wanted peace. The
undertaken gives the name as f.
Doyle, and place Of business G5S Sec
( nd avenue; was then shown the
doctor, and identified him as the man
who had called on him and wished to
have the body Of his servant buried.
Doyle says he asked the doctor for a
certificate, and the doctor wanted to
know if she could not be buried with
out Doyle, also says the DOCTORS man.
ner was calculated to excite suspicion,
as he seemed fearful of every sound.
Doyle signed the above statement
and declared that he was willing to
testify in court at any time.
An examination of the cellar of
ROsenzWeig's house has been made. In
the northwest corner was a heap of
dirt from which exhaled a powerful
odor. A few turns with spade and
the sergeant brought something to
light creating unbearable stencil,
which was found to be the chemise Of
small woman covered with blood.
Close examination revealed the terri
BILE fact that it had been torn back as
If it had last been clasped by a dead
body. Persons in attendance had to
use force to get it OFF. The search re-
vealed quantity of bloody clothing,
all of which was carefully packed mp
