DEAD WOMAN STILL UNKNOWN.
Police Think Harlem Victim May Have Been
Dance Hall Habitue.

The police of the West 125th street station
have made little progress in discovering the
identity of the woman who was found living
dead the New York Central tracks below
11Sth street and Riverside Drive early Yesterday
morning. So far no one has been found who
knew her. The police working on the theory
that she one of those women who frequent
the dance halls in Harlem particularly one in
10th street, and they have made inquiries in
that direction without results.
1t is stll the contention of the police that the
dead woman was killed by falling from the en-
bankment, and they point to the fact that both
of her legs were broken to prove their assertion
in spite of the fact that the body was found
more than twelve feet away from the wall. the
police say that she might have struggled after
her fall and finally dropped where she was
found.
Many still think the crime, if one was COM
mitted happened in New Jersey, and that the
body was carried across the river. IL is pointed
out by the police that the condition of the body
shows that the woman had been dead only
short time, and that she could not have been
