LOOKING FOR
 GOOD CLUE.
Going Over List of Missing Women
 Furnished by New York Police.
Special from United Press. ]

NSpCCldl OUiISu TTCSS.J
 Islip, l.. T., Oct. 20.-Coroner Savage and the Suffolk County authorities are to-day going over the list of missing women furnished by the New York police in the hope of finding one who will answer the description of the skeleton found near the Bentwood road. They are convinced that a bru- tai murder was committed and fur ther, that the victim was woman in very good circumstances. They base this belief on the fact that what remains of the clothing was of excel lent materials while the under gar ments were of the most expensive kind The black silk corsets found on the skeleton are declared by experts to have been made to order and to have cost not less than fifty dollars. Coroner Savage to-day communicated with a New York firm which makes a specially of this character of gar gnents to see if they can recognize them.
 That robbery was not the motive was demonstrated by the jewelry found near the body which included a gold watch on blue eur-de-lis pin, a snake bracelet of a peculiar design and a necklace of gold and pearls. Un- til the Identity of the victim can be learned, however, the authorities can hope for little success in solving the mystery
 The Coroner declared to-day that he had examined the woods surrounding the spot where the body was found but could locate no further evidence. This effectively disposes of the theory that the woman came to this lonely spot to take her own life. Inside the case of the watch the initials "A. L." lave been scratched with the date '1893'' and the Coroner hopes this may prove promising clue. He had fac sirniles of the engraving made and "a chart indicating the dental work in the jaws which, with photographs of the jewelry found on the body are being scattered broadcast to-day.
