oLEo AFTER FIERCE STRUGGLE

TROY. n. Y. July 1.-THE murder
er OF Hazel l. Drew, the beautiful 49,
year-old girl whose body was found
In the shallow water OF Teal's pond.
10 miles from this city. Is known. One
and probably two arrests may be
made today, according to the an
nouncement OF District Attorney Jar
Wis p. O'rBien.
Developments In this, the most
tragic and most pitiful murder In the
history OF Rensselaer, county. have
come so swiftly as almost to surprise
the men who. "a hours ago, were with
out clew to the slayer.
The selection OF lonely spot for
the concealment OF the body and ef-
forts to convey the impression that
the girl jumped into the pond to end
her life proved battling only for time.
But the murderers' subsequent de-
meanor--the guilty conscience offset
ting the precautions against detection
have resulted In the weaving OF q
web so closely about the suspected
man that but few strands are needed
until the net is drawn.
Marks Show Struggle.
Marks upon Hazel Drew's body In
making a brave struggle to defend her
honor. A string tied about her neck
indicates that the murderer and his
accomplice. fearing the blow on the
back Of the head had not been sum-
Client to end her life and forever seal
her HIPS. made sure, doubly sure, by
strangling her.
Grief over the death of the beautiful
young governess is widespread. Her
winsomeness.5he her good nature. mental
alertness and winning ways had en-
deared her to the family OF Prof. K.
II. Cary, head of the Rensselaer, insti-
tute. OF this city.
Serrowing friends throng the little
home on Fourth-st.. where her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. John Drew. live.
Violence Is being talked of by in
dIgnant friends OF the family and SO
great Is their anger and resentment
Mt the revolving crime that every pre-
caution will be taken by the authori-
ties when an arrest Is made.
