The two men who were arrested in

concerned in the crime still protest
their innocence. When arraigned they
described themselves as John Kearney,
aged 40, a shoemaker, and James Dew
lin. aged As, laborer both of Phiia-

They said they came from Philadel-
phia in search of work, but refused to

men are now locked up in separate cells.
Their clothing will be minutely exam
ined for traces of blood. The men will
give no information as to why they
were in Perth Amboy, where they were
seen on Wednesday, and where they
boarded freight train for Jersey City.
Miss Anderson's body was found early
in the evening by Signalman Max
Probst, whose station on the Jersey
Central Railroad Is not far from Wood
bridge junction. Probst was on his
way home, and took short cut through
a patch of woods. He first found some
parcels which had been dropped by the
youAg woman, and then saw evidences
of struggle on the damp earth. A lit
tie further on he came upon her dead
body. -.
The Young woman's clothes were ell
torn and disordered, her face was cut
and bruised, and there was deep
cash in her throat from which her
| lfe-blood had ebbed TO form in big
pool about her head. The features
! were distorted as if in fear and agony,
| and there was mark upon the fore
head as if it had been struck with a
blunt weapon. The cut in the throat
was a Jagged one and so deep as to
almost sever the yertebrB. Probst al
once notified the authorities of Wood
bridge and Perth Amboy of his ghastly
find.
The victim was a servant in the
family of c. W. Boynton of Manvers,
a hamlet near Perth Amboy. Mr.. Boyn
ton is the proprietor Of Boynton''
Beach, Seawaren. Miss Anderson wal
a handsome, well-rouuded woman o
2S; a faithful servant, but with nC
suitors so far as known. She was
Danish woman but spoke English flu
emily. Her parents live in Charlie
street, Perth Amboy and she had beel
to visit her mother and do some shop
ping in Perth Amboy
She left her mothers house at abou
2 o'clock. At 4 o'clock she was seel
in the Main street OF Perth Ambo
, with parcels in her hands. 1t is claime
that she was in Perth Amboy even a.
hour later than this before she set ou
to walk to Mr.. Boynton's house by wa
of the railway track, which leads 70
three-quarters of mile through th
woods. She turned from the track, ap
/ parently, to avail herself OF the shor
cut through the woods, and was n!
saulted there.
/ Miss Anderson could not be suspecte
of having any large sum of money abou
her to tempt the lawless, and indee
? she had only little change wherewit
TO pay her fare home in the event of he
being delayed in Perth Amboy till afte
Q dark.
An iron hoop from a whiskey barr,
has been found near the place where ii
body was discovered 1t is possible, br
not probable that the girls throat ma
have been cut with this, Coroner Bur
now has the hoop in his possession
q County Physician Douahoe, of Ne
Brunswick, after an examination of I'll
r body, said if outrage was the motive fc
the crime that so far as he could judG
the young woman had successfully d
n Tended her honor.
