and searching questioning Mrs Bun
lie RosenbloOm wife Of Samuel j. Ro-
Benbloom, the victim of the Camden
trunk mystery, followed the admis
BiOns she made to the local detectives
by a still more detailed confession.
Mrs RosenbloOm, in the presence Of
Detective Captain Humphrey, Chief Of
Police McMullen, of Windber, Pa, and
members of the Baltimore detective
force stated that she not only knew
that her husband had been murdered
by her son. Alexander Rosenbloom
but that she knew that the body had
been placed in a trunk and concealed
IN the cellar of their home for twenty
four hours.
The daughter. Eva. sixteen years
DID, also admitted that she knew Of |
her fathers murder, and that the body
had been concealed in the cellar of |
their home until their brother. Alex |
Ander and two OF his friends-Joseph |
and Louis Bgler-took the trunk away
in a wagon.

New York, having been arrested by
the police of that city.
While Mrs. Rosenbloom and her
daughter admit that they knew Of the

thing to do with the actual killing.

men, in custody of Chief McMullen,
started for Windber. the prisoners
