London, Dec. 31.-The bruce grave

man who claims the title and estates
of the Duke of Portland.
Precisely fortythree years to a day

remains Of a human being and not a
weight Of lead, as alleged in the ro-

perjury case.
In the face Of this fact the charge of
perjury made by the claimant of the
Portland dukedom against Herbert

perjury was based upon the PROPOSE
ton that there was lead in the bruce
coffin and not human body-not the

Nude Body of Handsome Woman
Found In Jersey Swamp.

III JCloCJ o"dHhP'
Newark, N. j., Dec 31-A murder
mystery that recalls the Jennie Boss.
cheiter case is engaging the entire at
tentiOn Of the detective forces of Har.
rison and of this city. The nude body
of a handsome young woman was
found in a swamp in the Hackensack
meadows in the town of Harrison, dt
rectly across the Passaic river from
Newark. No definite idea of her iden-
tity has been formed. and, although
two men are under arrest on suspicion
of knowing something of the crime,
the police believe that the murderer is
at large.
The men under arrest are Arthur
Thompson Of 216 Clark street, Eliza
beth, and Frederick Kirkman, who
were sleeping aboard the small yacht
Idle Hour, tied up at the bank of the
Passaic river a short distance from
where the body was found.
A tall, well dressed man who was
seen in the vicinity Of the place is
being sought by the police.
The dead woman was about thirty
years old. She wore rat" in her au-
burn hair. Her eyes were brown, and
her skin was white and clear. On the
second finger of her left hand she
wore a gold ring with a setting that
at one time contained three gems.
There Is a scar on her abdomen that
tells Of past operation.
The skin of the legs and arms is
scratched and notified with cinders
indicating that the murderer dragged
the body of his victim for some dis
lance along cinder path which alone
furnishes access to the bank of the
swamp.
Mary Johnson of Newark told the
police that she and her sister Minnie
were visiting in Harrison and started
for home across the bridge that eX-
tends from the foot of Fourth street,
Harrison, to Jackson street, Newark.
They heard a woman's cries for help
In the meadows.
The body was positively identified as
that of Mrs. Agnes Young, a grass"
widow, of New York, who was up to
three months ago a bookkeeper at a
west side hotel The Identification was
made by Mrs. Hattie Hull of S5 West
One Hundred and Fourth street, who
says she left Mrs. Young in the Penn
sylvania station in Jersey City on
Christmas morning, when Mrs. Young
started for Newark with a man named
Charles Meyers.
Mrs. Young and Meyers said they
were going to Christmas party on a
houseboat at Newark. According to
Mrs. Hull, Mrs. Young had $500 and a
diamond ring when she left Jersey
City. She had drawn the money from
the bank the day before, with the in.
tention of buying a laundry on West
One Hundred and Eightieth street.

Had Hard Struggle.
When a reporter called, Balcom, or
Cooke, admitted his identity, but sent
the young mother and the baby into
another room, asking the reporter to
lower his tone that she might not
learn of the discovery of their identity.
MY God! What an awakening from
our happinessw exclaimed Cooke. Cali
I want is chance to get away 1
don't mind Sing Sing or hell, but it is
she. The child was born two months
ago, and discovery and apprehension
would kill the mother"
The couple have had hard strug-
gle for even the bare necessities of
life. Cooke disclosed this after admit
ting his identity when he was con-
fronted by the police. He has been
working as a painter and decorator
when he could find that kind of work.
but there have been times when he
had to descend to the hardest kind of
manual labor to obtain food for his
household.
Asks to Be Let Alone.
Most of the time since their disap-
pearance the couple have spent in San
Francisco and Los Angeles. Part Of
the time he could get work as paint
err and decorator, which he learned in
his youth, but much of the time he
has been only day laborer He want
ed to continue that sort of life and de-
clared he never was happier than dur
ing the last eight months of his life.
'1t was because learned what love
is that threw over everything had
gained in years of struggle" he said.

changed the whole course of my life,
and all that l now desire Is that

work. We have suffered, but all we
ask is to be let alone.
Scores First Wife.
"My first wife, three days after she

the position and advantages she could

earthly hell. When met Floretta
Whaley and learned what love was
decided to give up my life as it was
then for a life of happiness with the
companionship of the one woman in
the world who could give me happi-
ness"
He pointed to the scantily furnished
room. II don't praise myself for the
step 1 took. 1t was weakness, it was
unmanly but I am only human, and
as l am to be judged by human beings
it is but right that they should know
that 1 gave up all that l had fought
for and won. Now all I ask is to be
let alone.
