The prosecutors detectives are
gathering bits of evidence tending
to show who murdered Mary Antu-
siak the servant who was found
murdered in. the woods to the rear
of the home of Meryin r. Schenck, 81
Prospect avenue, in the Wyoming
section of Millburn. Thursday. The
evidence at this time, Prosecutor
Guild said today, was that charges
would be made soon.
The finding of bloodstained cloth
ing belonging to Mary Prusiak, the
chum of the murdered woman. in her
room in the Schenck home and the
discovery of the Antusiak girls slip
per under the tubs in the laundry
of the Schenck house are important
factors. Acting Chief Walter God
frey, of the prosecutors staff, who
is in charge of the case, said today
that the clothing would be sent to the
City Hospital for examination. The
bloodstained hatchet was also sent
to the City Hospital for examina-
tion, the result of which may not be
made known for six weeks, which
time must elapse before it can be de-
termined whether or not the stains
are human blood or otherwise.

girls clothing which has stains sup
ported to be bloodshed which was
found. was worn by her on Tuesday
night, the evening the Antusiak girl
left the home of Horatio Olcott at
Pine street, Wyoming, presumably
to visit the Prusiak girl.
The latest discovery today was
what was supposed to be a blood
stain on rear door of the Schenck
home. The part containing the stain
was sawed out and is now in the pos
session of the county authorities and
tends in way to complete the line
of evidence the prosecutor is working
UP.
The three developments in, the mur-
der case to which the county detec-
tives and the Millburn police attach
the most. Importance are the finding
rof the blood stained waist and skirt
and the victims shoe, together with
the discovery of blood spots on the
steps leading 10 the kitchen of the
Schenck house.

Schenck home, were found hanging
behind door in her bedroom. The
shoe was found hidden away under
the washtubs in the laundry of the
Schenck home.
The prosecutors detectives secured
statement from the Prusiak girl
today. but they refuse to disclose the
contents of It,
1t became known today that after
the discovery of the body of the dead
girl on Thursday afternoon. when Po-
lice Captain George Brodesser, of
Milburn, asked Mrs. Schenk and the
Prusiak girl to go out and see the
body for the purpose of Identifying
the victim, the Prusiak girl appeared
timid about approaching tho SPOT.
When they were about fifty-liye feet
away from the body the servant
stopped.
it's julia Julia! Julia" she
screamed
From that distance, Captain Bro
desser claims, it was almost iiapos-
sible to determine whether the body
was that of man, woman or child.
How do you know it's julia"
asked Captain Brodesser.
The girl. however. made no intel
ligible reply, but kept moaning and
mumbling the name of the deal girl.
When they reached the spot where
the body lay the Prusiak girl al
most collapsed, according to Captain
Brodesser.
Nobody has been found as yet who
is able to tell when the victim left
the home of her employer. Mrs. Ho-
ratio w. Olcott, her employer, fig
ures that the girl should have been
through with her work by about 1896
O'Clock. Whether she left the house
at that time or not nobody knows
