derer of Mrs. Pulitzer
to the Chief Actor in
Another Tragedy.
MYSTERY NEVER SOLVED
The Other Woman Like the
Later One Was Lured to a
Room by a Man, Where She
Was BrutaIIy Put to Death.

There is strong reason to believe
that William Hooper Young is the
man who was last seen in the com
pany of Mrs. Kate Feeley. whose dis
membered body was found within a
block of her lodging place on West
Seventeenth street.
investigation tending to solve that
mystery, which startled the commun-
ity nearly three years ago, is now in
progress ,
Although the positive identity OF
the man who prevailed upon Mrs.
Feeley to accompany him to his fiat
under the %pretense that his wife was
ailing and needed the immediate ser
vices Of n maid has not been fully
established, there are circumstances
in connection with the murder OF
Mrs. Pulitzer. the life of her slayer,
and tho striking resemblances he
bears to the man connected with the
Kate Feeley case that warrant imme-
dlate inquiry by the police.
The maj who lured Kate Kelley to
her death answers generally the de-
scription of Young. The mannerisms
Of Young. his style Of conversation,
the tone of his voice, his age and gem
oral characteristic tally to q start

scribed as the murderer OF Kate
Fcclev.

Kate Psclcy has never written. That

throw the detectives OF the scent, is an
act peculiarly like that committed by
Yo"ng when he wrote and addressed
this letter 20 Capt. Titus;
"Captnin Titus,
