AT HIGHLAND PARK HOTEL
tcoDfinued from page u


at which time arrangements were
made for the burial. Kupfer's body
was removed from Railway to Az
Neville street, this city. this morning
by Polkowitz. The funeral services
will be held at 4 o'clock this after
noon from the home of Joseph Hart,
at 412 Neville street, Kupfer having
roomed at that place.
The murdered man is survived by a
mother and three sisters, two Of
whom are married and live in New
York. The two married sisters are
Mrs. Epstein and Mrs. Rochard.
4nterment Of Kupfer's body will be
in the United Hebrew cemetery here.

follow In Alpine cemetery.
Chief Burke was at the Highland
Park hotel this morning and inter-
viewed both the proprietor and his
wife, learning that IL vas as late as
place IN an automobile. AS the shots
were heard in front of Dr.. Moore's
home in Railway at 2:15 O'Clock, this
| gave the man and girl Just n hour
In which to make h trip to the spot
where the murder was committed.
1t is believed that this trip would
take just one hour. and consequently
Kppfer could not have wasted any
J time. by stopping alorg the read. II
he arrived in front of h Moore
home at ass.
When the car left the Highland
PARK hotel Kupfer and Miss fanny
were the only occupants. 1T Is beliey-
ed that the couple picked up either a
man or a nan and woman while go
ing from The Highland Park and 1t is
believed that either the man or wo-
man thus picked up Is the guilty
raity.
The fact that the girl and man
were at the Highland Park Hotel be-
came known as the result OF a dis
covery by CHIEF Bedford Of the High
land Park police. He saw the girl
sitting on the porch OF the hotel. he
stated. but did not know II was Miss
fanny until he saw the picture of her
in one of the papers and recognized
the likeness.
There Is a possibility that Kupfer
was driving with the intention of
the hotel and met an acquaintance or
two and tool them into the car for q
short ride.
One party has reported TO the
police that he passed q Paige touring
car going undeg the Railway bridge,
going in the direction OF Newark.
shortly after midnight. II Kupfer and
the girl did not leave the hotel until
ISIS o'clock. however. II is impossi-
BILE that this was the a In which
the couple were riding.
