fire. by Henry Wintervelt. a guest and
n friend
Thomas Clifton. the porter of the
hotel, thinks that the body known as
No. 3. rs that of Mrs. Auze a guest of
the hotel. He formed this opinion from
the beaded clothes that were on the
body. Clifton also thinks that body
No. 4. is that of a chamhermaid named
Annie, who worked on the floor where
Miss Dora Hoffman of Baltimore, and
Mrs. Auze roomed.
r. G. Hoffman of Baltimore, the
brother of Miss Dora Hoffman, called
at the morgue with a dentist, who had
q chart of the teeth of the missing wo-
man. They examined the teeth of the
body and found that they did not cor
respond with the chart. Mr.. Hoffman
and the dentist went away feeling sat
isfied that the remains were not those
of Miss Hoffman.
Mr. Hoffman afterwards went to look
for Dora Ward. a chambermaid who
worked on the fifth floor. The watch
man who had charge of the door on the
46th street side saw Miss Hoffman and
Mrs. Au2e go to their rooms on the fifth
floor from the dining room, shortly be-
fore the fire. Dora Ward is said to
have afterward heard the two women
talking in Miss Hoffman's ROOM
