MARTIN PHILLIPS.
While Phillips has known little OF the girl
personally in the last two years, he has vol
unteered to aid the officers in the search for
the murderer, and 1t 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 Is little doubt that Phillips
remained at Jamaica to identify him.
This new suspect is believed to be George
Smith, an Englisnman and blacksmith, who
is twenty-six 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 OF Smith, II he did net
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
Gilbert DoOley told him he saw n couple In
Evergreens Cemetery Saturday evening and
that they were quarrelling over some letters.
The constable, however, does not believe
that this couple were Hannah and her MUIR
derer.
BELIEVES WEBER is THE ASSASSIN.
Coroner Homeyer last night adjourned the
inquest for a week pending further investiga-
an % CT
Is wanted, but at the same time Dstrict-At-
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
wa, the murderer.
man named Weber answering the identi-
Ger's description, was In Jamaica all last Sat
urday afternoon, hanging about the depot
and may have followed Hannah on the train
u Brooklyn.
The dead girls body was buried this after
noon in Evergreen Cemetery beside the
grave Of her baby.
The dead Girls brothers-in-law, Edward f.
Chcll, 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 251 North Eighth
street, Williamsburg, also attended the
funeral.
WHERE rs GEORGE SMITH?
Among the letters found in Hannahs trunks
were several signed "George Smith," and
these are said to be very afrectionate In tone.
At the Maternity Hospital in Concord street
the record shows that Hannah named George
Smith as the father OF the child she gave birth
TO there
Hannah frequently spoke OF Martin Phillips
and George Smith to her acquaintances 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 night

When Henry Haddox, who ran after the
horse, caught up with the animal he found

saw half dozen letters.
These letters were addressed to Hannah
