Ter. his assistant secretary.

The matter will be taken. UP with all
of the companies during the coming

The above entry found in the records
of the New York Taxicab Company,
Fifty eighth street and Eleventh ave-
nue., Manhattan. furnished the clue
which has led to the dissipation Of the
mystery of the red taxicab on which
the body of Elsie Sigel was brought
to Newark from New York
Through this cryptic line it has been
discovered that Martin Luria, in the
employ of the New York Taxicab Com
pany. took Chinaman-he thought it
was a Japanese-that night. June 3,
with trunk. from the laundry Of Wah
Kee. at $40 West 12sth street. at 1855.
and brought him to Ii Sings restau-
rant, at "a Market street, Newark.
Luria remembered his fare was greatly
excited and insisted that the heavy.
|tightly-roped trunk be bound securely
on the drivers seat He seemed to
fear that it might tumble Off. Luria
said the Chinaman drew, the curtains
on the cab and did not show himself
once during the journey except to
furnish money for the ferry ticket at
the Desbrosses street ferry. after they
had missed the last boat at Twenty
third street.
