the same buggy in which he had taken
Amer for a ride. He informed Evans
that he had had the rig in stable in
Fifty-ninth street over night. The po-
lice afterwards learned that this state
ment was probably correct, for Young
drove back to his fat after disposing
of the body.
Chief Donovan personally went to New
York, and by nine O'Clock had located
Young's home in the Clarence apartment
house. He lived there in the apartments

then notified. Detectives Higgins and
Devenney were assigned to the case, and

the discovery, he started for the Young

gas was lighted and it was seen at once
that hurried departure had been made
from the place.
Things were scattered around, but there
was no sign of any crime there. From
the parlor the searchers went in to a Ii
brary and from there to the bathroom
and kitchen without finding any indiea-

Back of the kitchen are two bedrooms.
The first one was immaculate, but the
moment the police got in the rear room

there had been a struggle as that the
occupant of the place had made hur-
ried departure. Bureau drawers were
opened and their contents scattered
about, clothing from closets and ward
robes was strewn around, and there was
a general appearance of confusion.
The premises belonging to the Young
family consist in reality of three sets of
apartments which have been joined to-
gethar in one Each one contains four
OF five rooms. The middle one of these
was the one temporarily occupied by
Hooper Young.
The only furniture in the bedroom is
narrow folding bed, chest of drawers,
a round table and chair. A large cup
board is built into the wall.
The bed was open and covered only by
a sheet At the upper end of the sheet
were a number of blood spots in circle
around a clean space about the size that
would be occupied by human head.
More marks of blood were found in the
lower part of the cupboard. The inside
of the doors were smeared with blood.
The police believe that Young slowed
the body in that cupboard until he could
dispose of it, and that it lay there till
Wednesday evening.

Dolby says that Young asked him to
help him down stairs with trunk full of
books. He had told Dolby earlier in tie
day that he would want him to help get
the trunk downstairs and Dolby said he
would be around all evening. When Dol
by saw the rig standing in front of the
door he wondered where Young was 60
ing to carry a trunk on it.
A few minutes later Young came down
stairs and called Dolby. He said he had
the trunk ready and that it was very
heavy and must be handled with the
greatest care. Dolby assured Young that
he was good and strong and the two
went upstairs, where Young led the way
into the parlor of tie fiat. The trunk
was in the middle of the room, securely
fastened. Dolby took hold of one end
and Young of the other and they started
down tile hall Going down the stairs
Dolby noticed that the contents of the
trunk moved slightly and mentioned it
to young.
