ISLIP MURDER CASE.
Body May> BE of Girl Who
Came Here an 1908.

Hamburg. Oct. 2L-The Hamburg police,
who. under instructions from the German
government, have been investigating the
various clews in connection with the find
ing OF the body OF a young woman near
Islip. Long Island, are convinced that the
body is that of Anna Latter, who former
" lived at Altoona, in Schleswig- II olstein,
Prussia She was married in Februarv'
1908, 10 an architect named Miller, and the
couple started for New York. The police
say that both are missing.

age was greatly pleased when informed
that the German police had partly identi-
fed the dead woman as Anna Latter OF
Altoona. SchIeswig- Holstein, who married
an architect named Miller.
IT believed from the first" he said. that
the identification would be made in Ger"
many. Everything pointed 10 the clothing,
iewelry and receipted bills having come
from there. 1t should now be possible to
pick Up the cIew after the arrival Of the
couple in New York. OF course, we have
not the system in this country one finds
abroad of accounting for every one and
their movements, but persons like these,
coming fresh from Germany, would be like
~ TO seek friends in or near New York,
and from them we may obtain the clews
we need now
The second bullet was found yesterday in
the box in which the bones lay while in the
undertaking establishment. 1t was either
fast to one Of the bones and worked loose
or it was in one of the garments and was
overlooked when they were handled.
Much interest attaches to the story of a
r0adhouse keeper, whose identity remains
secret, but who, 1t is believed. may prove
an important witness.
He sent word 10 the authorities that
about a year ago two men and woman
visited his place in an automobile and
drank freely. They talked excitedly and
angrlly at times about some money and
land. At times they spoke English and
German and all three seemed to be Ger
mans The woman wore yellowish or
drab automobile veil and jewelry. All three
were intoxicated when they left his place
around 10 O'Clock.
He was closing up after midnight when
the men drove up again and wanted gaso-
Iene. He had none, and he told them the
nearest place to get any was Babylon. They
went away 10 that direction.
The woman was not with the men on
their second visit. He thought nothing Of
that, because he believed they had taken
her to her home and were going TO their
own when they paid him the second visit
The finding OF the skeleton recalled the
matter especially because of the watch
pinned on the waist.
