The police. under Captain Schmitt-
berger. made a thorough search OF the
apartments Of Young's father. on West
Fifty eighth street. where the murder
was committed. and discovered new
stains and other evidence that Mrs
Pulitzer was first drugged and then
killed. YOung's hat Is on the west
side of the hall. on she first floor from
the street. 1t has three entrances. one
door opening into the parlor. This
door the janitor forced. A gas jet was
still burning. Everything In the room
was In disorder. as though one had
ransacked the rooms. getting together
q few belongings for hasty depart
ure.
There were no evidences Of crime In
the parlor. and after cursory glance
around the detectives went through
the library. the bathroom. the kitchen
and into the bedrooms. In the rear
room they found blood stains on the
walls. OH the bed clothing and In the
sink.
Mrs. Pulitzer was undoubtedly muir
dered in this room. Her assallant con.
tinued his series Of blunders. for he
had not even made an effort to remove
the discriminating traces. In the rear
parlor Mrs. PuiitZer's stockings were
found. but a thorough search failed to
reveal any other article Of her clothing.
he NuSle hto.
met death contains in the way OF fur
niture only a narrow folding bed. a
chest Of drawers. a round table and a
chair. The bed was open. and on the
upper end of the sheet were number
of blood stains In the form OF a rude
circle about rs large as the space a
woman's head would occupy. Built In
the wall of the room Is a large cup
board. and on the walls OF this more
blood stains were found.
The inside OF the doors bore several
large stains. A slOuch hat correspond
ing to the one worn by Young when he
hired the team was on table. and In
one corner OF the cupboard was bot
tie of choral or knockout drops"
This led some of the police to believe
that the woman was first drugged and
then the knife wound and blows on the
head administered.
Lawyer William s. Hart. who has
been retained as counsel for Young.
said that he had received the following
from Youngs father:
"Paris.-Please give this to the news
papers and request publication: To
