THE MURDERED VOMlN NOT IDENTIFIED'

POLICE HUNTING FOR SOME CLEw-THE VARIOUS
THEORIES AS TO HOW THE BODY CAME
TO BE FLOATING IN THE RIVER.
The body Of the supposed murdered young
woman which was found in the East River at JEFF
ferson-st on Thursday morning. was not identified
at the morgue yesterday. although a number oe
persons in search OF missing women thought at
first that they recognized the mutated face.
In the afternoon autopsy was performed by
Dr. Donney who found that the wounds the
woman's head were inflicted before death. He
said that she had been murdered. Her neck had
bstn broken by one OF the blows, which probably
were dealt with a Ratchet.
Detectives from the Central Office were follow
hope of having the body of the murdered woman
identified. Until they can find out who MUIR
dered they Will be able to make no progress In the
hunt for the murderer, in all probability.
There various theories to the character
OF the murdered woman and the manner OF the
woman was murdered outside OF the city and that
her body was washed into the East River by
the tide. Others think that she lived on one OF
the canaboats which line the river for a con.
siderable distance north and south OF the pier
where the body was found. stu others think that
the young woman was immigrant who had
been lured into some evil resort near the river,

tried to escape. 1t would not have been difficult

DeHaven & Townsend Have Withdrawn
Suit Against Robinson a CO., the
Bankers.
From indications R R. Robinson & Co.,
whose failure several weeks ago pro
duced such a sensation, will resume
business The resumption plan has not
been agreed to by all the creditors, but
only about $4,000 is standing out at the
present time 1t is probable that the
creditors representing that amount will
come in in few days.
DeHaven q Townsend. one Of the
largest creditors, will it is thought,
withdraw their suit entered in the
Superior Court and will do everything
reasonable to re-establish the credit OF
the Wilmington firm. Levi c. Bird,
their counsel, says he has not been
authorized TO do it, but thinks it will
be done
The plan Of resumption is for Robin
son & Co. to pay dollar for dollar in
three, five and seven years, without
interest on the debts. Under this
plan the firm will not be reorganized,
but continue as before the failure.
