Old Bridge Mystery Now Believed
to be Murder. Strange Men
! Were About.
HAD ROYALTY MONEY.
Authorities Hold to the Opinion That
the Aged Woman Was Rendered
Unconscious Before Her Throat
Was Cut-Knife Was Placed i'm
Her Hand by Her Murderers-In-
dentatiOns Found on Her Head.
Special to the EVENING NEWS:

NEW BRUNSWICK, Apr. 16.-
Evidence almost conclusively proving
THAI Mrs. Rachael Wright, the aged
woman of four score years and blind,
who was found with her throat cut in
her home at Old Bridge, Saturday
morning, was murdered, has been dis
covered by Coroner Charles r. Moke,
who with the prosecutor is investigat-
ing the case.
In preparing the body for burial it
was found that there were two inden-
tations upon the head which had not
been noticed before because of their
having been covered by hair. These
or at least one of them, was sufficient
to cause concussion of the brain, and
being knocked unconscious was kill
ed by cutting her throat and the large
case knife found in her hand put
there by her murderers.
One of the marks on the head is
so large and deep tnat one can put his
finger in it and the other is smaller,
but of sufficient size to let the end of
lne HnSef enter IT, Inc SKIN is not
broken, but the marks look as if
made with blackjack.
Two strange men were found wan
dering about Old Bridge the night of
the murder and it is thought perhaps
they know something about it. The
men left the Treat hotel for the
neighborhood of the Wright house
and dogs were heard in that vicinity
barking furiously soon after the men
arrived in that locality.
Robbery is believed to be the mo-
tive for the murder. Mrs. Wright S
daughter received a royalty of $500
yearly, the neighbors say, from Scrib-
ner's, and when she died Mrs Wright
continued to get this money. 1t is
thought she carried money in her
dress and that she had some of this
royalty money stolen by the murder
ers. Three pocketbooks and a sat
chel were found in the house, contain
ing all told S66. Dr. Suydam made
an autopsy late today and the inquest
will be held this afternoon.
