Plaster Gas, of Hand.
Another factor which will he EN-
ployed in the Identification. came Ia
light. yesterday. II is a perfect plaster
cast OF the drowned woman's right hand
which she made herself shortly before
her death. The hand is posed in an
easy. natural position, and every mark
ing and detail stands out plainly.
II has been ascertained that after the
embalmcd corpse was turned over 10
Gibson at Jersey CITY by the orange
county undertaken and Deputy DeEraw
II was taken To the New York hay
Cemetery and held an hour. awaiting
the arrival Of Gibson and another man
whose identity is believed to be known.
The interment was made in the cheap
est part OF the cemetery. on "A plot for
which Gibson Is said to have paid $40.
No difficulty is contemplated In eX-
huming the body. as the proper per
nits and papers will be placed in the
hands of Degraw on Monday morning.
And the state Of the body was such
when buried two months ago that rec
ognition by the dead womans friends
70 expected to be an easy matter.
No one could be found who could tell
Why il should be thought necessary to
identify the woman buried as Mrs. Szabo.
While the name given TO the cemetery
authorities was Rose Ritter" IL was
name Aften used by Mrs. Szabo.
Questions wheth her there was a chance
that the woman drowned might not have
been Mrs Rose Menschik Szaboo or whet her
the body buried was not that of the woman
drowned. all met with the same fate a
positive declining to answer any further
under any circumstances.
WasservOgel Also Reticent.
Mr.. Wasservogel in his turn was fully
a. rcticent
1T was decided that District Attorney
Rogers should request permission TO ex-
hume the body sal he. AN autopsy
will he performed Information received
leads all of us 10 believe that the autor sy
may disclose much more than ia now
known; from what we know it may dis
close something else besides drowning
1t is very important that this be done
At once. The Distric, Attorney OF this
county feels that MIR Rogers is perfectly
justified in taking this step.
The young woman herr to-day Is an
important witness in the case under
investigation in Orange county What
she may have to say | will not disclose
at this time. She tells everything Of her
free will and accord.
$50 far as the case under invest iga;ion
in New York county there is no reason
to precipitate matters The Orange
county case OF course takes precedence.
There is no fear that we will be unable
70 keep in communication with every
person concerned in this case.
The work OF the detectives over night
had put the Austro- Hungarian Consulate
General. their legal representatives and
the local authorities in high good humor.
They came upon the woman who was
willing to be found and they made some
other discoveries which pleased them as
well.
One Of these discoveries was that in
spite Of his denials Gibson had shipped
five OF the six trunks Of Rose S2abo out
TO his home at Rutherford Yesterday
the detectives found the local expressman
who had carried the trunks 60 the express
ofYicc and thev obtained a record of their
address to r Gibson ""W Gibsop" and
n. Gibson" Rutherford. They. found
further that the trunks had reached

Say franks Held NalunbIes.
II was stat ed that the trunks We're known
to contain valuables which had been COL
lected by Mrs. Szabo by years Of thrift
and were thought TO be worth several |
thousand dollars.
Another thing discovered wss that
Mrs. Szabo had bts.n housekeeper in a
wealthy family of the name Of Schumann
The senior Schumann was said to be the
head Of the famo us je~elry firm and has
since died.
Important aid in the case came during
the day and night in the shape Of lett ers
addressed to the consulate. which the
detectives are now running down. There
were three Of them and two We're anony-
nous. The one signed contained some
Information about a man who has been
mentioned in the case. who has been quot ed
