William Schlemm, coroner, has or

Meanwhile he will begin an investi-

county prosecutor and the police.
Persons living near the place the
body was found are of the opinion
the woman was killed on the New
York side of the river and brought
across in a boat. John Flannery
says he saw a motorboat close In
shore on the night previous to the
finding of the floating bundle. Others
say they heard the noise of the
boats exhaust.
Probably a Blonde.
There is still missing the head of
the body, which would furnish the
best of clues to the victims identity
The delicacy of the skin indicates
that the woman had been carefully
reared and apparently was not of an
athletic type.

progress of the crime. The discov-

The police of North Bergen, as
sisted by the prosecutors detectives,
the police departments of Newark and
New York, are following all possible
clues in the effort to learn some
thing of the identity of the victim
and the character of the crime. That
the case is likely to prove one of the
most difficult to ferret out that the
world has known since the noted
Guldensuppe case and one which the

sleuths at work upon 1t.
These consist of the fact that the
body was evidently cut up with 9
sharp instrument and with a knowl'
edge of the human body, which
carries it's own suspicious; that there
are three tiny blue marks on the bach
