The first clew to the murder was
taken up yesterday when the Hoboken
liveryman identified the weight and
strap found on the body of the dead

II had gone out, he said, with horse
and buggy which he had hired to a
young man late Wednesday afternoon
and had not been returned until Thurs
day morning. The young man was then
nervous and covered with mud and left
the stable as soon as possible.
Direct connection Of Young with the
rig was established, the police say, thru
the information supplied by a man
named ANA, who worked on the Cru
sader with Young. He said he met
Young Thursday morning as he was
returning the rig, and Young spoke to
him.
| The liveryman was shown a picture

The police then went to the fiat at 103

oupied by Young's father, j. w. Young,
who is now in Europe. The fiat was

learned that the bloody garments of the
woman were placed in a trunk and the
trunk shipped Wednesday afternoon by
