The body of the elderly woman who died
at the Emergency Hospital two days ago,
as heretofore stated in The Star. has been
identified that Of Mrs. Maria Wood.
Mrs. Wood fell from Capital Traction
car at Pennsylvania avenue and 9th street
and injured her head, and when conveyed
to the hospital she muttered the name
Cartwright" and gave the hospital author
tiles to understand that she lived in Alex
andria. The accident happened on the
18th of last month, and during the time she
was in the hospital nobody called to inquire
about her.
Mrs. ]. NJ. Hill of Alexandria came here
yesterday and identified the body. Others
had said the woman's name was Vain
wright, but Mrs. Hill gave her name as
Wood. and said she had been employed In
her home in Alexandria six years ago. Mrs.
Hill gave the information that the victim OF

woman referred to him when she mentioned
the name.
