in Philadelphia and New York. AS to the
Kings Daughters subscription list, she
denied to- me that she belonged to the
society and said that the list and letters
were a fake on her part. The SIS sub
scription was put on by herself. But to
the police she says she belongs 10 the
Kings Daughters of Englewosd, a sub
ur5 Of Chicago. She tells a peculiar story
and refuses to divulge any names.
1t was ascertained that she had been
stopping at the Empire Hotel, Jersey
City, and II was there that she met fler
mysterious gentleman friend with the
peculiar name.
She sad that it the Recorder would dis
charge her she would go to her uncIe's

uncle was she refused to tell. The Re-

It is the opinion Of thefp pol ce that Miss
Martin Is not what she represents her
self to be. When she was cleaned IN
her clothes werea shown to be of good
quality. She is a woman of refinement.
Chief Donovan intends to sift the affair
to the bottom, as he thinks there is some
deep mystery In 1t.
