The body of the murdered young wo-
man is now at the home of her brother,
Lawrence Sullivan ana his sisters, on
Park avenue. Sullivan has engaged
Undertaken John S. Smith to prepare
the body for burial A curious crowd
of persons stood about on the Sidewalk
in front of the home Of the Sullivans
this morning and watched the steady
stream of persons who passed in and
out of the house. Most of these persons
We're intimate friends of the family,
or relatives or pupils of the murdered
young woman.
AS to the theory that the man who
killed Miss Sullivan was the person
who attacked Miss Lynch, there is some
possibility that it was so, though the
police declare that they do not believe
it.
Lizzie Lynch left DR.. Summers house
on Summer street, near Broadway, at
just o'clock. A man fell in behind her,
followed her for one block and then at
tackled her 1t is just half mile from
where this attack took place to the
scene Of the murder Help reached
Miss Lynch before she was injured.
Mrs John Brown of 1853 Broadway,
shortly before s o'clock on Wednesday
evening, opened the door and saw a
man standing In the vestbule of her
house. She screamed and the man ran
away. A few minutes later she saw the
same man standing at Broadway and
Straight street, a. block and half
away.
Mrs Brown lives three blocks from
where Miss Lynch was assaulted. Miss
Lynch could only say that the man was
medium sized and had dark clothes,
but not a gray coat, she thought.
A Mrs O'Neil saw man running
past Summer street and Hamilton ave>
nue. just after the assault From this
corner it is about five blocks to Van
Houten street and Graham avenue,
where Miss Graves was approached by
a man who wanted to kiss her, and who,
when she stopped him, knocked her
down. Miss Graves kicked him, and
she says that he made motion to draw
something from his pocket but when
she screamed he ran away.
| 1t is five blocks from where she was
attacked to Madison avenue and Eigh-
teenth street, where the murder occur
red The descriptions given by Miss
| Lynch and Miss Graves of their assail-
ants cannot be taken for much, since
they were too excited to notice the
mems dress and appearance.
Some of the police and many of those
interested in the case believe the same
man committed all three assaults; that
| he was half-witted; that after attack
ing Miss Lynch he went to Hamilton
avenue and Carroll street. where Mrs.
O'Neil saw him. then wandered to Ora
| ham avenue, and up Graham avenue to
Van Houten street, where he attacked
Miss Graves at o'clock; thence to Mad
son avenue and Eighteenth street.
Peterson is certain that he found the
body at $50 O'clock Miss Nicely and
Miss SEWN, who reached the place at
the same time, saw him. Miss Sulli-
van left her sister, Mrs. John Houston,
at Twenty-ninth street and Park ave-
nue., at just 9:15 o'clock. IT has been
shown that by walking fast Miss Sui
livan could have reached the spot where
she was killed in twelve minutes, which
| would have made it 1927 o'clock when
she was attacked
1t must have been about two and a
half minutes later that Peterson pass
ed the suspicious looking man in the
gray coat on Madison avenue about 100
yards north of the spot where he found
