HEMPSTEAD, l.. l.. Oct. 15.-Oliver
Allen, an insurance agent of this place.
reported to Sheriff Foster, of Nassau
County. to-day that as he was riding
along a lonely highway leading from
Munson to Norwood he found heap of
woman's clothing by the roadside and
near one of the reservoirs of the Bor-
ough of Brooklyn. Nearly all the gar
ments had been torn in shreds. The
find consisted of a woman's complete
outfit, with the exception of the hat
and shoes.
Sheriff Foster Mt once put deputies on
the case and will drag the reservoir, as
IL is thought a woman may have been
murdered and her body thrown into the
water. Blood was found on some OF
the garments. and the bushes where the
clothing was found indicated that a
struggle had taken place.
TraInps have been noticed on some OF
the lonely roads of Nassau County of
late. and some have been noticed camp
ing out I'm the woods. They have, how
ever. kept very quiet, and have given
