STILL A MYSTERY

 Coroner Were False

 stIll in the Dark-Tho Inquest to be
 Held on Friday Evening.
 NEW YORK. Aug 5.-The body of the young girl found choked to death in 8 cle ring half mile north of Ridgewood still lies in the little morgue off Wyckoff avenue in that village unidentified. Charles R. Weber, an alleged florist of North Haven, Conn.,, who said he recog- nized the murdered girl as his niece, was romancing. The dramatic story he re- lated of wealth, love and mystery was the product, possibly, of bad liquor and disordered imagination.
 The yarn was so well put together, however, that it sent Detectives Miller and Breohner on a wild goose chase through that part of Connecticut desig- mated by Weber. They returned last to find Weber. He kept out of the way. Weber was we'll acquainted with the country around North Haven, the detect ives say, and gave a minute description of roads and houses leading to his place. They searched everywhere for Weber's place and inform ation of 8 missing girl named Matilda Haber, but nothing was learned of Weber or his wealthy niece When they were convinced that Weber had been telling fairy tales they wired to Coroner Homeyer to hold Weber until they returned.
 Palliative Stranger.
 It has just leaked out that man vis- tied the liquor stores on the Cypress Hill road of F. Hellman and Gus Grauer on Monday night. He had been drinkin g and had big roll of money, which he spent freely.
 When the murder was spoken of he said: q know all about it. I killed her and am sorry for it." The foungers laughed, and then he said angrily: "You don't believe me. We'll, I killed this girl for an old man. He got mo to put her out of the way because there was money in it for him and ne. I will tell you more. The old man will be here to- | night to identify the girl"
 About an hour later Weber identified the girl as Matilda Haber. Before he could be arrested he escaped. Coroner HoMeyer went to RockawAy Beach to arrest 8 young man who said he vas Charles Reade, of Darien, Conn.,, and | who had identified the body as that of @ | girl whom he had danced with at Rocka- | way.
 The coroner drank glass of beer with the young man, but he managed to es. | cape before he could be arrested. Un- dertaker Ruoff embalmed the body of the dend girl, and he will place it in a vault in, Mount Olivet Cemetery to- day or to- morrow. The inquest will be held on Friday evening.

Miss Keeter. She's as dainty and as quaint
 Little miss as hauntS the park; She adores me, though she bores me. When she meets me in the dark. Softly sings she-gently swings she, Round and round my rustic chair. Near and nearer-clear and clearer Fairy music floats in air. Now she presses soft caresses
 On my sunburned, humid brow While she wooes me, sleep pursues me Dreamy visions come and-o-o-wl
