Ashbury Park, N. j., Dec. i5.--An
examination Of the body OF Mrs. Morris
Natal, the so year-old woman who was
murdered here in her apartment on Tues
day night BY robbers, led Drs. Johnson
and Beverage to tile positive conclusion
that the woman was chloroformed by her
asssilanta. They found that her lips
and tongue were badly swollen, but there
was no discoloration il the mouth. This
showed, the physicians said Yesterday,
that the victim had died from an inllala.
tion Of the drug.
Mrs. Naftai's husband and four sons,
who are here, have been unable as yet to
determine Just how much plumber the
inurderers secured, but the discovery
was made yesterday that they got at
least 81 900 in cash. 1t appears that
tho dead woman was ID the habit of
carrying small channels bag which
she used as receptacle for money. II
is known that she had 81 900 in the bag
Tuesday The bag was found yesterday
pinned under the woman's clothing, but
the contents were gone.
Part OF the loot take besides the ear.
rings which cost $1,000, were fourteen
diamond rings, diamond sunburst. with
large center stone, and pair OF dia-
mond bracelets containing eighty stones.
The total value Of the stolen property
is put at not less than $4,000.
The police yesterday afternoon began
looking for certain women who have
recently been employed by Mrs. Natal.
There WAS no regular servant in the
Natal household, but women would he
engaged for day or two at time
to help In the housework The fact
that these women are now being looked
for Is due to 0 mysterious happening
in the Natal home some time ago.
II appears that Mrs. Natal was ac-
customed to take her money and iewelry
to bed with her when she retired at
night. The Jewels she would place in a
chamois bag with the money, andi pin
ii to her undergarment. IL vas from
this bag that the jewels as weIl as the
money were taken BY her murderers.
Some time ago Mrs Natal was aAvsk-
