The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1893-12-30

body was found, and thoroughly examined
the ground. Near where the body lay he
found rock covered with blood 1t had a
jagged edge, which was just the shape of
the wound in the head.
WHERE THE BODY WAS FOUND.
A JERSEY CITY NEWS reporter visited the
scene of the assault and examined the
ground. The body was found in large lot,
with frontage of about two hundred feet
on Sip and 100 feet on Corbin avenues.
There is no house within 800 or 400 feet
in any direction. The lot is considerably be-
low the level of Corbin avenue, and pile of
rocks leads down to it. The body was found
at the foot of these rocks, about fifty feet
from Sip avenue. The ground was soaked
with blood to a depth of two inches where the
body lay This spot was about twelve feet
from the pile of rocks.
About two feet to the right of where she
lay was found the stone with which it is
thought the wound in the head was inflicted.
About the same distance to the right was
another small stone covered with blood.
Midway between the spot where the body
lay and the rocks was small pool of blood.
There was no trace of blood between the two
spots and no signs of it anywhere else.
A careful examination of the rocks from
Corbin avenue down to the spot showed con-
clusively that she could not have received
her injuries by falling down there. If she
had fallen over from the street she could not
have reached the bottom, as there are large
rocks which would have stopped her at every
turn. A careful examination of each rock
failed to disclose any shreads of clothing,
blood or other signs which would be visible
if she had fallen.
NO SIGN OF A STRUGGLE.
If there were any signs of struggle
about where she lay they were entirely
obliterated by the foot marks of the many
people who visited the scene.
The reporter questioned all the people
living in the vicinity, but none of them had
seen young lady answering the description
of the injured one.
One man who was questioned said that he
was passing along Corbin avenue and saw
the girl lying there. This was before the
police arrived. He said that several other
inen were watching ner from Slp avenue
He approached them and suggested that they
attempt to do something for her. They ad-
vised him to go away and not be found there
as, they said, he might be suspected.
Captain Lange visited the hospital, anxious
to question the girl if she showed signs of
consciousness.
Captain Lange said that she was in a very
critical condition when he left her and that
the doctors were afraid to move her for fear
she would die.
AT THE HOSPITAL.
The reporter called next at the hospital
AS he reached the door another man had
just rung the bell. Both We're admitted
The man was looking for his wife who had
been missing since yesterday morning. He
was allowed to see the injured girl, but she
proved not to be the missing one.
DR. Laws told the reporter that nothing
further had been found that would identify
eher. he SAID she was In very low condition
