which has ever been brought to light
in this section.
Shortly after o'clock Miss Bossi-
cheiter passed Kent's drug store at
Patterson and near it met Andrew
Campbell. There was short CONVEX
sation and then the pair walked
down Main street. Somewhere en-
route they were Joined by George
Kerr, Walter McAlister and VIM.
Death. The four entered Christopher
SAILS saloon where drinks we're
served Finally one nf the men tele-
phoned for a cab ana August SCHULZ
hors responded. The cabmsn has been
the main source of the policies infor
nation and has given detailed story
of what occurred.
1t was in the neigh borhood of 10
o'clock when the four men lifted the
partly unconscious girl into SCHULZ
hors' rig. 1t is alleged that after the
hackman bad been called one of the
men asked for another round OF
drinks, and into that served to the
girl poured species of "knock out"
drops.
In a lonely spot the hack was
stopped and the girl was lifted out
and laid upon a blanket by the road
side. In what followed the hackman
and one Of the four, it is said, had
no part. The story is to revolving to
describe. The hackman claims that
he did not leave his seat on the cab.
He remembers that he WAS told to
drive down by the river bank. Here
the girl, apparently hfeless, was lifted
out of the cab and her bead and face
bathed with river water. After q
long time spent in trying to revive
her the men held consultation.
Their victim was again lifted into
the cab. and the hackman was ordered
to drive like mad to DR.. Wiley's house.
DR.. Wiley was not at home aud the
party hurried 70 the residence Of DR..
Townsend. The physician WAS aroused
and told to give immediate attention
to the woman VINO had been injured.
He was told not to wait to dress. He
slipped on bath robe and went ont
to the carriage door. He felt the
girls pulse and then stepping back
said his services were not needed, as
the girl was dead.
One OF the men cursed the doctor
for fool and commanded him to re-
vive her. The doctor turned and
started back into the house. The men
then changed their demeanor and
begged him to do something for the
girl. The doctor again assured them
that it was useless; that the girl was
dead and beyond, help. The carriage
then drove away but came back in a
few minutes and again the men urged
DIR. Townsend to resort to anything
to bring the girl about. He again ex-
planned that the girl was beyond med
ical aid. The doctor was offered any
amount CT money IL he would try, but
he persisted that it was useless for
him to try as death had come long be-
fore.
The carriage then drove away. 1t
was finally resolved to drive ont to
Bergen county by way of the Thirty
third street bridge. When the bridge
was reached the driver was ordered to
stop. The purpose soon developed.
When the triple attack upon the IN
conscious and perhaps dead girl was
made, a portion of her clothing hat
been torn of. When the party left tht
scene of the crime one man had DIR
ton of her clothing in Pocket OF hi
coat and another had the remainder Of
the garments. When the stop wal
made at the river bank to battle TIL
girls face and head her combs ant
hairpins had been removed. These
we're in McAlister's pockets. The two
portions Of the garment and the comb
nd hair pins were dropped from th {
bridge into the Passaic river.
The cab went on until the dark spo
near Ailcas mills was reached. Nc
AIister caught the girl by the feet ani
the two men held the BODY uprigh
for m ,ment and then let go. TIT
girls body fell backward, the heai
striking the rook which crushed thu
skull.
This circumstance which threw th'
Bergen county officials off the seen
was not foresesn, by the men dispos-
ing OF the body. The hackman 70
