SUPPOSED PICTURE OF WILLIAM WRIGHT
evolved that Wright had killed Ruttinger
and then, Mortified by the enormity of his
crime, had taken his own life. But op-
posed to this was the fact that Rutkinger
was tall, stoutly built and powerful, while
Wright was small and delicate in physique,
almost to effeminacy The authorities
now are engaged in the investigation OF
new clevs which, if they amount TO any
thing, are expected TO show that the body
found near Tottenville is not that of Rut-
finger at all. but of a sailor named
Schneider.
They have also been informed that with
in the last few DAYS a man answering
Wright's description il every respect was
seen at hotel in Rochester, y. Il. So il
will De seen that they are confronted with
a remarkable series of omplicatlons. II
the bodies now on hand prove 20 be those

der and suicide. However, If j; should tran

barrel of lime, and it was at New Orleans
| that opposite, the most fendish Italian
brigand of modern times, first felt the
clutches of the law. In due season the
trunk mystery of St. Louis, the swamp
mystery of Canada the barrel mystery of
New York, and the mystery of the New
Orleans bandits identity were solved; and
as in those cases the American officials
showed their competence and intelligence,
it is only reasonable to expect that in course
of time they will arrive at the facts in what
must yet be termed the Staten Island mys-
terry. As in three Of the other affairs men-
toned, the fate of two men is involved.
When the mate Of a vessel anchored off
Tottenville discovered the body of man
floating in the water near his ship, and
when a subsequent examination of the
body disclosed documents and passport
bearing the name of Carl Ruttinger, the
evidence all seemed to show that Ruttin-
ger was the mans name and that he had
been murdered. Further inquiry brought
to light the fact that the dead stranger
had for his companion and friend broth
er-in-law called William Wright, and as a
handkerchief stuffed in the mouth of the
corpse bore the initials "W. W. the conclu-
sion first reached was that Wright had
killed Ruttinger. As nearly as could be es-
tablished, the death of the Staten Island
victim occurred on a day in February
about twelve hours previous to the suicide
at the Aston House in New York city of a
person who had registered as Fred Evans,
and who left among his effects no clew to
his identity or relatives. The Aston House
case was for a time something of a sensa-
ton because of the queer attempts at iden-
LITIGATION made by a lawyer, an actress and
real estate dealer. The claims of these
people proved baseless, and after lying for
weeks at the morgue the corpse was buried
in Potter's field on Harris Island. But it
was not permitted to rest in its unmarked
grave.
The man with whom Ruttinger and
Wright had lodged in New York city recog-
nized as the former the Staten Island body,
and gave such a description of the latter
that it was thought possible that the self
styled Evans might be the missing Wright
The remains, therefore, were exhumed and
the theory indicated established, so far as
the testimony of several witnesses and of
two photographs can be considered of value.
Apparently this Identification closed one
part of the search. The next thing essayed
by the officials was discovery Of the rea-
sons for the murder and suicide. Ruttin-
ger, it was learned, had been lace manu-
facturer in Germany, and had married a
sister of William Wright in England. The
couple quarreled and separated. Wright
sided with his brother-in-law, and with
him sailed for America. The German had
plenty of money, the Englishman had
none, and because of this theory was
