skull was found on the right side Of the
head extending TO the base OF the BRAIN
On the left side of the body just above
the hip was a gaping wound, which al
first might have been taken for sur
gical incision, but which closer exam
nation disclosed had been inflicted in a
cruder manner. Either this wound or
that in the head, the physicians said,
might have caused death, but DR..
Schwartz expressed the opinion that the
wound on the body was inflicted while
the victim was dying.

in all probability a one-man job. The
perpetrator of such a crime would
hardly have an accomplice."

THE autopsy disclosed lust muir

mission. IL am convinced, though, that
the girl was murdered by more than
one person"
The physicians also expressed the
opinion that the victim had been out
ragged. As she left the hospital with
DR.. Danforth, Mrs. Humiston declared
she would make an investigation to-day
as TO WHY no representative OF the Dis
trict Attorneys Office was present at
the autopsy, although DR.. Schultze is
said to have been there IN that capacity.
On leaving the scene of the crime
Commissioner Woods, accompanied by
Commissioner Scull and Secretary Case,
went directly to Acting Captain
Coopers office, where they remained
from 10:30 until | 80 in the afternoon.
On emerging, Commissioner Woods
said there would be thorough inyes-
tigation into the action of the police
in the case, but declined 10 say whether
this would be conducted at Headquar-
tiers or at the 4th Branch Bureau. Com
missioner Scull later said there would
be no suspensions as far as he knew.
Questioned by Prosecutor
When questioned as to the reason for
tho summoning of the motorcycle
,noIicemen TO the Attn Branch Bureau
and whether it was thought police
man NAV have been involved in the
murder Deputy Commissioner Scull re-
piled that the men were questioned by
the Assistant District Attorney and
not by the police.
Assistant District Attorney John T.
Dazzling stated Yesterday that it was the
District Attorneys office, and not the
police, that located Cocchi in Italy.
"The police questioned Cocchi after
the disappearance of the GIRL" Mr..
Dooling said. an fact, he was at his
shop for two or three days before he
dropped out of sight. and the police, IN
tracing the movements of Miss Cruger
on the day of her disappearance
learned that she had visited his shop.
How he managed TO board an outgoing
steamer is still mystery.
"When the District Attorneys office
was brought into the case process sery-
ers followed at least a dozen clews that
carried them into three states. Finally,
through connections we made in Italy
at the time of the arrest of Cardinelll
in the Baff case, we located and kept a
close watch on the homes of relatives
of Cocchi in Italy. He appeared, and
is now where we can place our hands on
him, we believe"
Commissioner Woods said he received
a telegram from the State Department
at Washington informing him that the
cablegram had been sent 10 the Italian
government asking Cocchi's arrest on a
provisional warrant.
Before leaving for Albany Governor
Whitman said that, despite the absence
Of treaties with Italy. he thought
Cocchi would be returned to this coun-
try by Italy.
Planned in Advance, Says Woods
Commissioner Woods advanced the
theory that the crime had been planned
in advance.
THE hole had been dug long time
before he said, cor else. what became
of the dirt that came out of that hole ~
ave searched the cellar and store
and the yards and cellars of adjoining
buildings at the time Of Miss Cruger's
disappearance" said Commissioner
Scull. Two days after her disappear
ance reporters for the afternoon news
papers asked permission to search that
cellar, and did so with Detective Me-
Gee. Everything was intact when we
were in there. IL was just a matter Of
overlooking something that any one
might have overlooked"
"Do you think. then. that ahe was
