con size parted with her Companion,
who she understood, was going or to
Newark, to join a hOuseboat party.
When Mrs. Hull learned of the murder
through the newspapers and saw that

seemed to fit her friend she informed
the police that she believed that the
murdered woman was Mrs. Young,
who had been employed at one time as
stenographer and typewriter in a'west-
side hotel She said that Mrs Young
was the wife of an engineer, but that
she had not lived with her husband
for several years.
Mrs Hull said that when they left
Mrs Kings home on Christmas day
Mrs. Young had $500 in her purse
and wore a diamond ring. On their
arrival at Jersey City they were met
by man with whom they had lunch
con. When the luncheon party broke
