n sace In Orange County. This de-
termination was reached because IL
was found that the woman's larynx
was partially crushed and forced far
ant Of its natural position, as If she
had been clutched by the throat.
'aThe condition Of the woman's
throat seemed to indicate" said Sheriff
DeGraw of Orange County, that she
was throttled after she fell or was
thrown into the water. These findings
will be laid before District Attorney
Rogers, Of Orange County. tonight,

al Its close that he could state posi-
lively that en application would be
made this morning for a warrant on a
murder charge before an Orange coun-
ty Judge.
Dr.. Schultze refused to make state
ment. saying that he was called into
the autopsy as an associate at Dr.
Kings invitation and II would be inap-
propriate for him TO talk. Re would
not deny, however that Sheriff De-
Graw's statement was based on what
he had just told him.

made the examination were agreed
that Mrs Szabo's larynX was found to
be 50 crushed and forced up into her
throat that il would have kept any
water from entering her lungs, so that
she must have died from strangulation
and not droEaing. Dr. Schultze's fur
,ther work will consist, II was said, in
making a microscopical examination of
the lung tissue in order TO substantiate
this opinion.

been engaged to work on the case by
the Austro- Hungarian Consulate said
last night that they had found two
women by the name Of Mrs. Menschik
