ClilfSlde.
Mrs. Mack, Another Woman and Thorn
4. Traced TO That Place.

New York, July 3 3-Detectives are hard
at work tracing the movements OF Mrs.
Mack and Martin Thorn on Saturday last,
the day the first bundle Of human flesh
was picked up from the river at the foot
Of East llth street IL Is alleged that
Mrs. Mack, Thorn and second woman
drove in n surrey 90 spot near the VII
lago of Clitfside u short distance from
Fort Lee, y. j., where IL Is asserted they
burnt up some things. The suspicion is
that they burned up some OF the clothing.
Mrs. Jennie Crook, who claims TO have
seen the surrey in New Jersey, says she
gnvs one of tho women drink OF water
and is positive she can identify one OF the
women and Will bo brought over here for
that purpose. The police are OF the opin-
ion that Thorn went TO Montreal whence
bo took a steamer for Germany, and do
tectiyes are working on that line The
acting inspector, O'Brien, has placed
himself In communication with the Mon
treal authorities A search is being MADE
in and around Ciiffsido, y. j., for the
missing head.

BREAKING INTO A BANK VAULT.
Officials Can't Get at Collateral Until
the Safe is Cracked.

Trenton, n. j., July 3-The old
Trenton Banking Company, the strongest
New Jersey state bank is in serious
dilemma The old fashioned look on the
vault door Is out of order, and the bank Of
ficials have been shut out from the wealth

are valued mt SO, 000 600, while the actual
cash Is $3.50, 000 They expect to get their
hands on the money today
James kerrigan. the veteran lock ex'
pert, hunted for tho obstinate tumbler
with pointed wires until he became OK
hausted, and then two other experts were
put TO work, and they have reached tho
conclusion that the lock, which Is at
loast - years old, has yielded to time and
old age and collapsed. Inc work OF chis-
all the officers camping out In front OF
the Dig vault ready TO guard the cash
and the valuables as soon as the inner
combination locks are reached. The
vaults were guarded all night by three OF
the clerks. The business of the day was
accompanied by many interesting incl
dents. Depositors who have small bal
ances were much inconveniencod by
polite refusals to give them cash.
Owing to the fact that the books had
all been balanced and the business for
the month of Juno squared UP, the gen.
eral index book of notes had been left out
OF the safe and was available for reference,
and the notes falling due could be paid.
In the case of those not paid the situa-
tion was trlne embarrassing, for the
names OF the indorsers were not available,
so that the prompt notice 60 these In
dorsers could not bo given. This raises a
question as to whether this absence OF
notice will not bring about complications
and relieve many of the indorsers. Some
of tho LAWYERS doubt this, because the
absence of notice was not due to any fault
of the bank officials.
Tho officers of the bank laugh at Some
of the suggestions that have been made
that there might have -haen- u rahbary and
the combination tampered with to con-
ceal 10.
