NO CLEW AS YET IN
DREW MURDER
MYSTERY
Body Found Five Days Ago and
Police Still in the Dark
YOUNG wOMANs SUIT CASE
Left Tuesday July In Charge Of
Parcel Clerk at Troy Union
Station.

Troy, July 16.--This morning, five
days after the finding of the body of
pretty Hazel l. Drew, the solution OF
her murder is apparently no nearer
than at first. In fact, her, case seems
even further from being solved than
1t did at the time when the lifeless
form was first dragged out OF Teals
pond, and the physicians gave 1t as
their positive opinion that a terrible
crime had been committed, for prac-
tically all the clews upon which the
authorities had to work have been
run down, and not one of them has
been found worthy to even warrant
an arrest on suspicion.
The one important development of
yesterday was the finding of the suit
case. the presence of which has been
an important factor, It has been sup
posed, In the determination of Miss
Drew's whereabouts just previous to
the crime. She had the suit case when
she left the Harrison residence, the
last time she was seen by any of her
intimate friends or relatives, but was
without 1t when she met Frank Smith
on the road leading from Averill Park
in the direction of Teals pond and the
home of her uncle, William Taylor.
The suit case was discovered in
the parcel room at the Troy Union
station.
Adelbert Atwood, parcel clerk at
the Union station explained that il
was checked with him last Tuesday
afternoon at 1.49 o'clock. He could
not remember definitely as to the APP
pearance Of the person leaving 1t, but
was very sure that 1t was a young wo-
man.
The suit case was opened and was
then found to be, without the shadow
of doubt, the property of the unfor-
tunate young woman. II contained
locket and chain, comb, tooth brush,
kimona, nightgown, handkerchief, a
small black hand bag, and a newspa-
per clipping, apparently from The
Troy Record. The clipping was dated
October %, 1907, and told Of pro-
posed visit of Ernest La Vote, a>South
Trojan. to Chattanooga, Tenn. ION
the clipping was the penciled date of
October 6. 1907. In the handbag was
nothing except a handkerchief The
locket was of gold and contained no
photograph.
District Attorney O'Brien said
yesterday that there is nothing In
the story that Miss Drew was
strangled with corset cord. Xhsi
was found about her neck at tl,c au
topsy, he says, was an ordinary piece
of string which might have become
detached from part of her clothing.
Notwithstanding this, one newspa
per reporter exhibited to the distric
attorney yesterday what purported L
be piece of corset string, claimed
now to have been seen by Gilbert MI
Ter about the girls neck when sh'
was the subject of the autopsy.

SUICIDE OF BELLOWS FALLS MAN
w. H. Stone, Leading Business Man,
Takes His Own Life.


Bellows Falls, July lev. H.
Stone, one of the leading business
men of Bellows Falls, committed
suicide yesterday morning in Hotel
Windham with chloroform. No rea-
son can be ascribed for the act as
Mr.. Stones business was in good
shape. He recently purchased the
large carriage business of Walter c.
Hadley and came up from his home in
Walpole, n. H., each day Wednes-
nesday night, however, he hired a
room at Hotel Windham. In the
morning one of the maids opened
the door and found him lying on the
bed. He had been dead for some
time and had taken his life by pour
ing the contents of two bottles Of
chloroform on sponge and laying
face down in the liquid, BY his side
were found four letters, one address.
ed to Henry w. Porter, a real estate
dealer of this place and three to
friends in Walpole, A. s. Morrill,
with whom he lived Mr.. Wilson, with
whom he had had business dealings
and Mrs. A. b. Smith.
In Mr.. Porter's letter he was APP
pointed executor and given explicit
directions as to the business and es-
tate. The letter was begun July
and concluded July 10. At the very
close II was written that when the
letter was received the writer would
be lying dead at Hotel Windham.
No reason can be given, although
Mr. Stone was of somewhat morbid
disposition. The fact that the deed
was contemplated nearly two weeks
before It occurred is taken as very
mysterious. A cousin of the dead
man, Mayor II. o. Carpenter Of Rut'
land, came here and took charge OF
the body. Mayor Carpenter can give
no reason for the deed and is great
ly mystifled. Mr.. Stone was unmar
ried and left no near relatives.
