with Supplying the Girl First. Then,
After h Died, They Left the BODY by
the Roadside-An Atrocious Crime.
Paterson, N. J. (SpeciaD.-The last
trace Of mystery surrounding the kill
in of Jennie Bosschieter, the seventeen
year-old girl whose body was found
near the Wagaraw Bridge over the
Passaic River, the other day, has been
cleared away. Four men, members Of
some of the most prominent families
in Paterson, have been arrested,
charged with having murdered the girl
with an overdose OF a drug.
The prisoners are Walter G. McAlis-
ter, Andrew Campbell, George J.. Kerr,
and William A. Death. The charge
against them reads that they Ibid will
fully, maliciously and with malice
afOrethought murder Jennie Bosschie-
ter by administering to her a certain
powerful potion or drug, from the eff
fects of which, after lingering awhile,
she died." Death is the penalty Of the
offense win which they are charged.
Three Of the accused have made full
confessions. The Chief of Police made
a formal complaint charging all four
with wilful murder, and they were
taken before Recorder Senior. They
were represented by able counsel, but
all waived examination and were COM
mitted to jail without bail to await the
action Of the Grand Jury. now in ses-
sion.
The men under arrest are all well
known. McAllister is the son Of James
A. McAllister, a silk throwster, and is
in business with his father. Kerr be-
longs to a well-to-do family Of this
city, and is a brother of former Judge
Kerr. William Death is an advertis-
ing solicitor, and is a young married
man. Campbell was a clerk In the
Office of John Hand & Sons, silk manu-
facturers.
The arrest of these men was followed
up by the taking into custody of Gus
tav H. ScowcrOft, who confessed that
it was in his hack. driven by him, that
the crime was committed. He was re-
leased on $500 bail, furnished by his
counsel.
The story in outline of what is re-
garded as one of the most horrible
crimes in the history Of New Jersey,
follows:
Miss Bosschieter was lured to a sa-
loon about 10 o'clock on Thursday
night. There she was drugged, placed
in a cab with the four men, driven to a
remote place on the outskirts of the
town, taken unconscious to the ground
and there, being then in a dying condi-
ton, was criminally assaulted hY three
Of her companions.
When they found she still remained
unconscious after being put back In the
carriage and after all their efforts to
restore her failed they drove with her
to the house Of a doctor in Paterson,
who came down to the sidewalk, exam
ined her in the carriage and pro-
nounced her dead.
The carriage was then driven to the
remote place near Ayers icehouse and
there the dead girl was l-1ted out, car
ried to the place where the body was
found, thrown down like q dead dog
and her head deliberately smashed
againstthe ragged-edgedroc on which
it rested when the body was discov-
cred by n of Ayers employees early
the next morning.
The families of the accused men are
completely Frustrated by shame and
grief. In jail, Campbell and Death,
the younger of the four, are nervous
wrecks, but Kerr and McAlister are
