Hidden by Shrubbery.
Who the owner of the necktie is the
police are now trying to learn. Ac-
cording to Mrs. Mary Dugan, 427 Me-
chanic street, Miss Cloughessy's
cloest friend, who identified her at
the morgue, the young woman went to
her dressmaker, Miss Taylor, of 421
Mechanic street, last night, after she
had paid her short call. She is re-
ported as having left the dressmaker e
house at $3.50 o'clock. The police
have no trace Of her after she left the
Mechanic street address.
Margaret Delise, another domestic
employed by Mrs. Day, stated that
Miss Cloughessy was to have Joined
the other servants Of the house with
some friends In card party last
night. She said that during the even
ing q maan named Patrick came in
and said that he passed Kitty" twice
on the street and that she had refused
to speak to him either time. She was
unaccoppanfed. he said.
The police are now trying to locate
Patrick.
The assailant, should such be found

believed. The Justice family is away

dense shrubbery and there are nc
lights for some distance.
A tragedy could easily have been
enacted there with very little risk ol
detection.
Asthma Theory Weak.
The theory held by some Of the
Investigators upon hearing that the
girl was undergoing treatment fol
asthma and that she was an intense
sufferer from that malady and that
death was due to the disease. 1t il
pointed out, however, that it is not
likely that she would have climbed
the three foot wall surrounding the
Justice estate, while struggling fol
her breath, and hidden beneath the
ivy.
The finger marks at the throat
could scarcely be accounted for by
this theory either, nor the bruised
shoulders and torn limbs. The side
combs and the pin on the sidewalk al
SO would seem to point to the facl
that there was q struggle. Also 1t l.

Robbery does not account for tn,
girls death, as all the trinkets she
had with her at the time were a lit
tie pin of a Catholic society and the
inexpensive blue enamel i brooch
found on the pavement. Mrs. Dugar
declares that the domestic did not
have any pocketbook when she called
at her home and the trinkets were
still intact when the body was found

Woman Of Refinement.
Coroner's Physician Wadswortl
and Coroner's Detective Frank Pau
made careful examination of the
woman's body. They refuse to dis.
cuss the case, but upon returning tc
the city hall were closeted for a long
time with Coroner Ford. AS a re.
suit of the investigation Deputy Cor.
oner Townsend was assigned to CO.
operate with Detective Paul in the in
vestigation. The action was indica-
tive of the seriousness with which
the tragedy is regarded.
Discussing the death of her maid
this afternoon, Mrs. Day said:
"She was girl Of exceptionally
fine character and training for such
an inferior position. believe that
she received a good schooling and
had the advantage of cultured en-
vironments until her father died
when she came here to seek her
brother Because of adverse circuni-
stances she was forced TO take a
menial position have regarded her
always as a woman superior to her
position and possessed of refine
ment."
