it." She died soon after she had been
removed to Fordham hospital.
Police search revealed many blood
stains in an unoccupied five-room flat
at 1868 Third Avenue and they soon
made up their mind that the crime
had been committed there. No one
had heard an outcry and Just why the
crime was committed is still mys-
terry. For three days 1t appeared that
the crime could never be solved. Sus-
poets were arrested by the dozen but
all were released.
Two days after the murder the
Swartz family moved away from the
adjoining flat, and the police started
to Investigate them. 1t quickly devel-
oped that Nathan Swartz had served
time for an assault on a child ant
the police finally became convinced
that he was the murderer. A general
search for him has been going on but
he has managed to conceal his where
abouts up to the present time.
Later the old father told his story
to the grand jury. It was cofrobora-
ted by his son Jacob, brother of the
missing Nathan, who said that his
father had told him OF what Nathan
said soon after the confession. Both
father and son expressed the belief
that Nathan Swartz had drowned him
self although they admitted they had
nothing tangible on which to base
that hope.
AS soon as word Of the actual con-
fession reached the police another
general alarm for Nathan Swartz' s
apprehension was sent broadcast
throughout the country.
