The evening world., 1891-08-08

While Phillips has known little OF the girl
personally in the last two years, he has vol
unteered to aid the offcers In the search for
the murderer, and It is believed that his as
sistance will be OF great value.
When he was released at Jamaica yester-
day, instead Of going home, Phillips stayed
around with Distrlct-Attorney Fleming all
day. The latter was constantly expecting
;idings OF the arrest of at least one new sus-
pect, and there II little doubt that Phillips
remained at Jamaica to identify him.
This new suspect Is believed to be George
Smith, an Englishman and blacksmith, who
Is twenty-siN years old, and who is alleged to
have betrayed Hannah two years ago.
Phillips would not tell an EVENING WORLD
reporter whether he knew any OF Hannah's re-
cent associates or not, but as an unsuccessful
attempt was made to fasten the paternity Of
Hannah's child upon him 1t Is not unlikely
that Phillips knew or Smith, II he did not
know him personally.
Coroner HOmeyer this morning said that
no arrest had been made, but he admitted
that he had hurried over to Jamaica late last
night to consult with Distrlct-Attorney Flem-
ing about making an arrest.
Constable Brechter says Special Policeman
u
Evergreens Cemetery Saturday evening and
that they were quarrellng over some letters.
The constable, however, does moi believe
that this couple were Hannah and her mur-
derer.
BELIEVES WEBER is THE ASSASSIN.
Coroner Homeyer last night adjourned the
inquest for a week pending further investigl-
tions He still denies that Identiher Weber
Is wanted, nut at the same time Distrlct-tt-
torney Fleming and Constable Benjamin
Ashmead, OF Jamaica, are making vigorous
search for him.
The latter told an EVENING WORLD reporter
this morning that he firmly believed Weber
was the murderer
A man named Weber answering the identi-
tler's description, was IN Jamaica all last Sat
urday afternoon, hanging about the depot,
and may have followed Hannah on the train
TO Brooklyn.
The dead girls body was buried this after
noon in Evergreen Cemetery beside the
grave Of her baby.
The dead girls brOthCrs-in-law, Edward F.
Chell, OF Allegheny City, Pa, and John Laws
Of Williamsburg, arrived In RidgewoOd at IL
O'clock this morning and superintended
the arrangements for the funeral.
The dead girls sister, Mrs Laws, and her
cousin, Mrs. Walker, OF 2jl North Eighth
Street, williamsburg, also attended the

WHERE is GEORGE sMITHT
Among the letters found in Hannahs trunks
were several signed "George smith," and
these arc said to be very afTcctionatc IN tone.
At the Maternity Hospital In Concord street
no dgh fbar IL
Smith as the father of the child she gave blr; h
to there.
Hannah frequently spoke OF Martin Philips
and George Smith to her aCquaintanccs In
Hewletts, and somehow the impression got
out there that when she left on Saturday
night It was to meet and make up with one
or the other OF her former lovers. 1t was
this impression which led indirectly to the
arrest Of Martin Phillips, who yesterday
established an alibi, and since his discharge
the belief has obtained that she went to
Brooklyn by appointment TO meet George
Smith.
The detectives are now looking for George
smith In order TO make him account for his
whereabouts last Saturday light
