Agnes O'IEeefe Was First Stunned ~

NEWARK, N. j., Dec. 80.-Stunned

the manner OF death Of the woman
whose nude body was found on the
Hackensack meadows, In the town OF
Harrison, last Thursday. This grew.
some story was told at the autopsy
which, conducted with the greatest
care and occupying several hours, left
no doubt as to the details Of the muir
derous work.
The body is believed to be that Of
Agnes O'Keefe, domestic, who had
been employed by several families in
Orange. The Identification, however
cannot be said to be positively sstab
lished.
The absence of easily detected
bruises upon the body had added to
the mystery Of the crime, but the med
ical examination proved untenable any
theory of accident and established be.
You'd a doubt that a deliberate murder
had been committed.
There were two abrasions at the
base Of the brain behind the right ear.
After inflicting these, the physicians
determined, the murderer slit the wo-
mans clothing from the neck down.
This feat was skillfully done, for,
though the cutting was made with
hardly more than single movement
Of keen edged weapon that made its
way through every thickness of cloth.
ing, at no time did the point Of the
knife enter the body. That the weapon
was not used to aid the murder ia be.
lieved to be due to the hope Of the as
sassln that the case might be mistaken
for one of suicide. The shoes and
stockings were pulled OF with brutal
haste, and then, seized by the feet, the
woman was stood fairly on her head
in the water and so held until she was
dead

tanned both cinders and ashes, quaint.
ties Of which are to be found at the
bottom Of the waters which cover the
marsh land. The organs indicated that
the woman had used alcoholic stimu.
lants, but that she had not done SO to
| excess.
The authorities are inclined to be-
lieve that the woman was Agnes
O'Keefe, as declared by Detective
Drawbell Of Orange.
The autopsy was made by DIR. G. H
Schultze Of New York, with the as
sistance and authorization Of the coro
ner and county physicians. At iti
conclusion the lungs and intsstinsi
were removed to laboratory for mi
