SUIT CASE CLUE TO
MURDER MYSTERY
Hazel Drew Crime Nearing
Solution by the Police
of Troy.

Troy, N. Y, July 1S.-What is con-
sidered the most important point yet
developed in the Tea pond murder
mystery, came into possession of the
police late yesterday When County De-
tective Kaye found the suit case which
Hazel Drew carried the day before she
was murdered and for which the police
have been conducting an exhaustive
search. From the articles found in the
suit case, 1t is established. the police
say that Hazel Drew did not intend to
go to Averill park on the day she was
murdered and the startling theory is
advanced that she was murdered in
Troy and taken either by carriage or
automobile to Teal pond wher her
body was cast into the stagnant wa
ters. 4
There is much to bear out this the
ory and it appear that the authorities
are nearing a solution of the mystery.
In the first place the murdered girls
black leather handbag, containing all
her money except 5 cents. was found in
the suit case. The fare to Averill park.
which is near Teal pond, is 20 cents.
While this find was made In Troy, de-
tectives at Teal pond found a glove
which was worn by the girl and in the
finger of 1t was q 5 cent piece. Con-
ductors on all of the trolley cars run
ming to Ayerill ave been closely cues
toned and not one has been found who
remembers havfng seen Haxel Drew on
his car. It would have been next to
impossible for The girl to have ridden
to the park IN a trolley a and not
have been recognized.
Linking these facts together the po-
lice conclude that the girl met some
one in Troy either on Tuesday after
noon or evening n that the murder
took place in this city or near it. Fol-
lowing up the line of investigation, de-
tectlives are endeavoring to trace every
step OF the girl while she was in Troy
on July s. The recovery of the suit
case establishes beyond a doubt that
she was IN the city on Monday and sev-
eral persons have been found who saw
they saw the girl here. The suit case
was checked in the Union Square sta-
ton. The clerk who was in charge Of
the check room at that time is hi and
cannot be questioned. The necessity OF
having the clerk describe the person
or persons who checked the suit case
are SO great that an effort will be made
TO have detectives admitted to his room
