the silliest statements Is that which APP
peared on Saturday, as follows while
the death of Miss Holloway was undoubt-
eddy due to hemorrhage of the brain,
caused by blow on the left temple that
left an ugly wound two and half inches
long, yet it is well-known fact that for
the past two months the girl had been fill
ing her system with poisonous drugs in
the hope of getting rid of trouble. That
these drugs greatly weakened her and
caused her to become unconscious soon
after the murderous blows were struck
physicians say there is not the least doubt,
and it is contended that had she been per-
fectly healthy she would have recovered
from the shock of the assault"
1t would not require a medical mind to
conclude what caused death A mere
glance at the clot blood that pressed
against the dead girls brain explodes the
drug theory.
There are many Tumors in connection,
and many have insisted that the insur-
ance on the girls life is an important link
in this case, and Prosecutor Budd has
been consulted on the point of having the
mother arrested, but that official could
only advise against such proceeding, as
there is no evidence showing that she
possesses more knowledge of the affair
than has been made public.
The funeral of the murdered girl took
place on Sunday afternoon from the dark
red frame house in the hollow opposite
the Bordentown railroad station, and
several hundred people gathered around
the house. drawn there by natural curios-
ity to see the funeral of the girl about
whose death there is so much mystery.
The girl was buried from the same
house in which she received her death
blows, having been removed on Saturday
from the home of her sister, where she
died on Thursday morning. The location
of this house was not adapted for the
funeral. standing as it does on high hill
facing the railroad and approachable only
by narrow lane.
The hour appointed for the funeral
was o'clock. Several hours before that
time the procession of curious people be-
gan, anxious to get glimpse of the girls
face and the surroundings. Marshal Jobes
had several special officers on hand to
keep order and to prevent any crowding
by the people.
The funeral was conducted by Rev
William Walton, pastor Of the First Meth
odist Episcopal Church, and Rev. James
Lisk, D. D., pastor Of the Baptist Church.
The pail bearers were Edwin Carter, Jos
eph Devere, Lewis Chapman, Thomas
Wood, James Dubell and Voorhis Como
yer. The body was laid to rest in Bor-
dentown cemetery. Among those present
were Samuel Harveson, the young freight
brakeman of the Pennsylvania railroad,
who was the acknowledged lover of the
young girl.
Lawyer Isaac Antrim will apply for
writ of habeas corpus to have Massey,
the accused man, admitted to bail, charg-
ing that the evidence submitted to the
coroner's jury was not enough to connect
the man with the crime, and to hold him
would work an injustice as the grand
Jury will not meet until next October 1t
is thought that it would be possible to
get bail for the man, if the court will adj
NIT him.
