BRIDGEPORT. Conn. sept ia new
Identification which the identiher de-
clares TO be positive was made in the
Yellow Mil pond mystery last night.
David Bibbins Of PAS Main street says
he knows the body to be that OF a
young woman who spent the night OF
July at the rooms OF the Associated
Charities of Industrial Relief Of which
his wife Is the resident matron. Mrs.
Bibbins supports her husband IN his
statement.
The girl. Mr.. Blbblns says, went to
the institution upon the advice Of Pa
trolman Peter Hall. Hall says she
asked him to get her a place to sleep
She told him that she had come here
from New York on an express train and
was on her way to South Norwalk
where she Intended to go to the home Of
an aunt who lives in that city. She had
a railroad ticket, but said she was
afraid TO go through at night, because
IT would be very late when she would
reach her aunt's home.
The girl was very nervous. and Hail
says he asked her the reason for it.
She said that IL was constitutional and
explained that year before. while she
was living with her aunt, who was her
only relative, she was advised 20 enter
a convent by the Rev. r. Il. Slocum,
then rector of Catholic church atSouth
Norwalk and now OF Waterbury She
told Hall that she was obliged 10 leave
the convent, as the mother superior
would not permit Of her continuing be-
yond her novitate, owing TO her nerv-
Gus condition.
The young woman, who was appar-
emily about 20 years OF age, did not give
Hall her name, and he did not ask It.
He says that her talk indicated a deep
devotional spirit. Hall left the young
woman at the institution and went back
20 his post.
Mrs. Bbbns states that the story
which the girl told her was the same as
that which the policeman tells. She
says she was In a condition approach
ing the hysterical and at first objected
20 being locked in her room. in accord
ance with the rules Of the institution.
Mrs Bibbns says that she managed to
restore the young woman to calmness
by assuring her that she would look
into her room at short intervals.
The name Of the strange ledger does
not appear on the books of the home
FOR she left early in the morning with
out the knowledge of the matron.
Mr.. Bibbns visited the morgue last
wednesday and satisfied himself that
the head was that of the woman who
had been a beneficiary Of the home. He
says that he did not speak then, as he
hoped that some one else would come
forward. When the Perkins identifica-
ton was made, he felt possibility Of
his being mistaken. The Perkins iden-
tihcation had been shown 20 be mis-
take however and he says he felt that
he ought to speak.
Hall says he is positive that the girl
who went TO the home did not have gold
filled front teeth. Both Bibblns and his
wife assert in the most positive terms
that there was gold in her front teeth
and that II was very noticeable.
Detective Arnold returned last night
from Mlddleboro. The detective said
that he examined the head OF the dead
woman at Middleboro after he found the
Perkins girl was alive and found that
the scar which was alleged to have been
on the forehead was not there.
Meanwhile there is no abatement of
the energy with which the police are
working and the clews which were neg
lscted when Frank Perkins claimed the
body as that OF his daughter have been
taken up anew. There are numherless
stories OF men who are alleged 10 have
been seen driving rubber tired buggies
near DR.. Guilfords house and near the
Seavlew avenue bridge but none Of
them Is taken seriously
Attorney j. y. Klein wrote last night
10 Dr. Nancy A. Guilford. who is sus-
pected OF having performed an opera
tlon on the dead woman, giving her the
advice for which she wrote to him from
Wellshurg. N. Y II she heeds the ad-
vice. she will not return 10 Bridgeport
ostenslbly because she fears that she
win be rearrested in malpractice case
IN which she forfeited her bail three
