DOUGHERTY IS SKEPTICAL
Doesn't Believe Woman Was
Slain in This City.

While George S. Dougherty. Deputy
Police Commissioner, is inclined TO be-
lleve that the sending of the trunk bear
ing the name OF c. Napon TO George
town, Conn. from this city on Novem-
Der : would in all probability prove TO
be only coincidental with the finding Of
tho body Of the woman in the mill pond
ut Georgetown, he declared yesterday
that he was doing everything that could
be done to discover whether the crime
had been committed in this city. He
said he had not had any official notiflca-
ton from the Georgetown authorities,
though he. had tried to get in communi-
cation with them.
Mr. Dougherty said ii was not un-
likely that he would send a representa-
tive OF the Police Department TO Con-
necticut to-day. He had descriptions OF
the expressman and the other two men,
all Italians. who shipped the trunk, and
a description of the trunk itself. The
Deputy Commissioner commented on the
apparent discrepancy in the weight of
the trunk and the weight OF the body. a
difference of hundred pounds, as an in
dication that his doubts as to the crime
having been committed here would
prove TO be we'll founded.
