Is Believed TO be Murderer Of
Annie Pulitzer
EVIDENCE POINTS THAT WAY
Police Receive Letters Supposed TO Be
Signed by Fugitive, Saying He
Has Committed Suicide-ReIa-
tive of Brigham Young.

New York September 20.-The energies
Of the whole detective force are now con-
eentrated on running down Hopper
Young, the great-grandson Of Brigham
Young, who is believed TO De the mur-
derer of Annie Pulitzer whose body was
found in the Morris canal near Jersey
City. In this quest the authorities have
the cooperation of every city and town
in the country TO all of which full de-
scriptions have been telegraphed
That Young may have committed sui
eide was suggested by a note received by
Captain Titus late today. The envelope
contained a single sheet of rough brown
paper on which was written
Search In vain; have killed myself
II. YOUNG"
The postmark showed that the letter
had been mailed at the general postoffice
in this city shortly before noon. The po-
lice are disposed to believe that Young
wrote the note.
Another important link in the chain OF
evidence connecting Young with them
was supplied when a dispatch was re-
ceived from Chicago stating that the
police had opened the trunk shipped by
Young and had found In it the dead wo-
mans clothing. a memorandum book con-
tanning the name of William Hooper
Young and pawn ticket, showing that
a pair of diamond ear rings had been
pledged at a pawn shop in Park Row,
this city on Wednesday last by man
who gave the name of Stiner.
Prior to the receipt of this dispatch
a central office detective had found a
pair of ear rings pledged in the same
pawn shop and under the same name.
The person who pledged them gave an
address in Harlem which proved to be
fictitious. Joe Pulitzer identified the car
rings as those worn by his wife.
Captain Titus received tonight dis
patch from superintendent ONelll Of Chi
cago saying that he had shipped the
trunk to New York and that 1t contained
in addition to the artiee previously men,
toned some articles of male attire and
a dirk smeared with blood
The inquest will be held In Jersey City
on Wednesday. The body of Mrs. Pult-
ger will be delivered on Monday to her
husband.

FORGED MARRIAGE PAPER.
Evidence Failed to Prove That the
Archduke Legally Married.

Vienna, September 2O.-Max Staundin-
ger, formerly a city official of Graz.
styria, was sentenced at Laibach today
to four months in Imprisonment for hav-
ing forged a certificate for marriage of
Archduke Ernest who died in 1898 and
Laura Won Skublitz. who was afterwards
the Baroness Waldburg-
The evidence adduced failed to prove
that the archduke legally married Laura
Won Skyblitz. but 1t appears that he did
so. The present Baron Walburg. who is
now a waiter in the Cafe New York at
Budapest, is the archduke's child. Staud-
inger's connection with the Walburgs
was the result of his seeing the baron's
child begging bread Upon investigation
he found that the family Of the arch
dukes son was starlcng. and a desire to
assist them appears to have led to the
forgery

and testified positively that Molineux
was not the man who mailed the now
famous poison package al the general
pos,ofice on the evening Of Dec. %.
1895. Then the witness partly ldenti-
fed Harry Cornish. who was asked 20
stand up IN court as the man whom
she saw standing In front of her In the
line ar the nostofiice and holding In his
hand package addressed to MI
Harry Cornish. Knlckerhocker' That
was am she saw. Her Identification or
Cornish was not positive. She said he
looked very much like the man. but he
hesitated before replying afirmatirely
when asked II she did not think he
was the man.
The witness account OF her move
ments on the evening OF Dec. % and
her reasons Tor not appearing at the
| first trial we're given In detail.
The prosecution on crosseNamina'
