New York. SEPT. l9.-The mystery Of
the murder Of Mrs. Annie Palitzer,
whose nude BODY vas found in the Nor
lis Canal. near Jersey City, has been
cleared up, by the discovery that the wo-
man was killed in a nat at 1o3 West
Fifty-eight streat, where her clothing
was found tonight.
This announcement was made late to-
night b. Captain Titus, OF the Detec-
tive Bureau, who connects directly with
the murder 4 man named Hooper Young,
WHO was recently employed in a cheap
restaurant. Titus has learned that the
woman's body was kept for some time
under the sink in the kitchen Of the fiat
in which She was killed. Young has not
been arrested and is believed to have
fed the city. He is said TO have shipped
a trunk to Chicago last night. He form-
erly worked for the Hoboken crusader.
and the police found his picture taken
with a group Of employees. This pic
turc was shown 10 the Hoboken livery
mar who at once picked ont Young as
the mar who hired a buggy from him on
Wednesday night.
The housa IN which the murdered
woman's clothing was found is within a
Slb!lt , -ltON VI SUM- VI iHt' must SiJitI-
did apartment houses in the vicinity of
Central Park South.
All day long detectives have followed
clues They asserted confidently that
they We're close on the trail Of the muir
derer and The developments tonight prove
the correctness Of their theory.
The first important evidence developed
early. 1t was the Identification of the
hitching strap and the weight used az
a sinker for the body by Charles r.
Evans, a livery stable keeper in Hoboken.
These. he said, were placed By him in a
buggy at the special request Of a man
who hired Tha vehicle from him on Wed
nesday night, and whose photograph he
has Identified. The horse and buggy
were returned the following morning by
the same man.
The murdered woman's husband says
that he saw her last late on Tuesday
night when she left their apartments for
the purpose of purchasing some rolls and
fruit. She did not return, aud the theory
now is that she met her murderer, went
With him to his apartments and that
then as he result of q quarrel, he killed
her. The ~heory is borne out by facts
ow known concerning the woman's life.
1t has developed that this life was not
a good one, a fact not denied by Pulitzer
himself. 1t is now reasonably certain
that the murderer kept the wonlan's
body in MS rooms until "Wednesday
night, when he hired the horse and bug
Sy in Hoboken, and returning to New
York drove to the Morris Canal. where
he threw his victims body into the
water.
Late tonight the police gave out the
story of the murder and the history of
4oungs father, who the police say, is
John w. Young.
The Yolne fiat is one Of seven rooms
and bath. and is handsomely furnished.
When the police opened the door lead
ing into it they found it in great confu-
sion. There was every evidence OF a
struggle on the part Of the occupants.
In the small bedroom they found a sin
gle bed. the sheet of which was spotted
with blood. and other stains we're found
on q cupboard. Among q number of bot
ties stood a tiny vial. half filled with

In the room were found one or two
