Chief of Police Corbitt, OF this city.
today received "a letter from Mrs. Sarah
Grieve, Of Ardmore, Pa. near Philadel-
.hia, stating hat her married daughter
Mrs. Ida Hazclton. If Phlladtaphia, has
been missing since November %, when
she left with her little baby. The woman
enclosed a photograph of hes daughter
taken six or seven years ago. 1t did not
look much like the murdered woman. i
was given TO Il detective to take to the
morgue.
Though the Harrison and Hudson County
authorities think that the woman may
have been slain on the ewark side OF the
river. the local police, who have been
called in to help solve the mystery. are
not so sure that the woman met her death
In this city. For seven hours last night
Plainclothes Policemen ana Haf-
ris. Of the First Precirsct station, with
two Hudson County detectives from the
prosecutors office. secured the Newark
side of the Passaic River. directly oppo-
site Harrison. They found nothing that
would serve to strengthen the BELIEF thak
the woman was slain on the Newark side.

without obtaining a clue.
Under orders from Captain Ryan of the
First Precinct, Harris and Crawford viii
aid the Hudson County authorities and
will work Oh the case until il is cleared
up. Chief of Police Corbitt, who was
asked TO help the Hudson County a%utlori-
ties last night for the first time. thought
the plainclothes policemen of the First
Precinct would be of better service to. the
Hudson County police, as they are
familiar with the vicinity of the Newark
side of the Pas9aic River and the women
who frequent the boats nearby.
Though both men viewed he body last
night neither knew her. They say that she
looks like some one they had seen, Dul
they could not place her.
Captain of Detectives Carroll said today
that while his assistance had not been
asked by the Hudson County authorities. he
was willing to aid whenever he is called
upon.
Newark police who have seen the body
saw that II resembles a woman arresseu IN
the First Precinct last summer and who
was brought before Judge Howell on a
charge of soliciting in Mulberry street.
The woman was pretty and claimed tnat
she had never drank anything until the
day she was arrested She hVeu spnle-
where in Mulberry street, but at the 1ime
Me gave a fictitious name, begging the
"a, ,rt not to disgrace her by competing
hay- to tell her name. This woman was
we'll remembered by the police on account
az her looks. Two of Captain Ryan's men
will search Mulberry street IN the nope OF
anding out the whereabouts or the Woihan

The Harrison force. then sharp female
tongues should cease decrying the poor
woman in the morgue.
Better, If a lesson were drawn IRON
her death. But open, all signs point to the
opposite. After dark Harrison's streets
are alive with young girls, who wonder
UP and down the main avenue of the town,
MS IL no danger lurked In the vicinity OF
First street. In the neighborhood of 10
o'clock Thursday night I met a young
woman, not over 20. accompanied by a
young man, her Junior in appearance,
walking in the Black Lamp district. The
hour was late enough, but the gruesome
find of a few hours before should have
deferred this Young woman from strolling
in that unprotected section OF the town.
''But the general atmosphere o the whole
town seems TO be to make light of this
horrible affair. The county authorities
figure in this atmosphere. Yesterday Coun-
~ Physician Converse came to Harrison.
