TO HER IDENTITY oE THAT OF THE MUIR
DIREas.
Evidences OF murder most brutal and shocking in
ts execution were Uncovered on Staten island yes.
tcrdsy afternoon near Silver Lake. All tho
indications point strongly to the conclusion
that tho handsome young woman who was

methods by which poor Ahco Bowlsby was done to
death BY the butcher Rozsnswsig ana an inspection
OF her much decsmposed remains are satisfaction
that, like the former victim. she was high born ana
well brod. Nor does the similarity END here;
for the bedy OF this unknown victim, Ike
that OF Alice was crushed into unnatural shape
packed into barrel and put as It vas hoped out OF
sight forever. But murder will out, and yesterday
the idle footsteps of COW boy came upon the resting
place Of tho unfortunate young woman. and brought
