SUIT CASE CLUE TO
MURDER MYSTERY
Hazel Drew Crime Nearing
Solution by the Police
of Troy.

Troy, N. Y, July 1S.-What is con-
sidered the most important point yet
developed I'm the Teal pond murder
police late yesterday when County De-
tective Kaye found the suit case which
Hazel Drew carried the day before she
was murdered and for which the police
have been conducting an exhaustive
search. From the articles found in the
suit case, II is established, the police
say that Hazel Drew did not intend to
go TO Averill park on the day she was
murdered and the startling theory is
advanced that she was murdered in
Troy and taken either by carriage or
automobile TO Teal pond where her
body was cast into the stagnant wa
tiers.
There is much to bear out this the
DRY and II appears hat the authorities
are nearing a solution of the mystery.
In the first place the murdered girls
black leather handbag, containing all
her money except 8 cents. was found in
the suit case. The fare to Averill park,
which Is near Teal pond, is 20 cents
While this find was made in Troy, de-
tectives at Teal pond found a glove
which was worn by the girl and in the
finger of 1t was a 5 cent piece. Con-
ductors on all OF the trolley cars run
linS 1 " ANSIil nave DteI CiOScly QueS-
toned and not one has been found who
remembers having seen Haxel Drew on
his car. IL would have been next to
impossible for the girl to have ridden
TO h park On a trolley car n not
have been recognized.
Linking these facts together the DO
lice conclude that the girl met some
one In Troy either on Tuesday after
noon or evening and that the murder
took place in this city or near 1t. Fol-
lowing up the line of investigation. de-
t~ectlves are e~ndeavoring to trace every
step of the girl while she was In Troy
on July 6. The recovery Of the suit
case establishes beyond a doubt that
she was in the city on Monday and sew
eral persons have been found who saw
they saw the girl here. The suit case
was checked in the Union Square sta
ton. The clerk who was in charge of
the check room at that time Is III and
cannot be questioned. The necessity of
having The clerk describe the person
or persons who checked the suit case
are so great that an effort will be made

A few other small shanties.
The entire loss is estimated at be-
tween 500, 900 and 5000, with about
IS, 900 insurance. The origin of the fire
is unknown. as there was no fire In or
about the building where the fire orig
mated for a day or two previous. The
of gasoline around the building
first on fire was very strong. which
leads many of the citizens to suspect
incendiarism. Herrick has no water
system, and the towns Of Bonesteel and
Burke were called upon for assistance,
and while they were promptly on the
scene, nothing could be done on account
of the lack of water supply. Forum
ately, the slight wind blowing at the
time was favorable, or the entire town
would have been destroyed.

Speaking OF the funeral the writer
