Opinions differ as to how long the
body had laid where it was found, The
county authorities thought that it had
been there for Il week or more. Private
physicians figured the time at two or
three days.
The place where the body was found
was an underground of bushes in a
vacant block. The body was found in
small clearing. The nearest house
is 200 feet away.
In Il small clearing We're found signs
Of the struggle and patch of dried
blood fifteen inches in diameter. In
this plot the comb, shoes and watch

The bushes showed that the body
had been dragged from one cleared

New York.-The body of beautiful
and well-dressed woman was found in
clump Of bushes on the Palisades
near Cliffside, N. J. She was between
IS and 20 years Of age.
A few feet from where she was
found was evidence that she had
fought a desperate battle with the
slayer.
The victim was identified by Will
liam F. Ehrmans Of New York City
as that Of his 2O-year-OId daughter,
Florence. He said she had been MISS
ing from home for several days.
Clutched in her hand was frag-
ment torn from Il dark blue coat, sup
posedly worn by the man who at
tackled her.
Hanging on trampled group Of OK
eyed daisies was mans watch chain.
Her right hand was covered with
blood. This watch chain is closely
guarded by Acting Prosecutor Charles
]. Mccarthy of Bergen county, New
Jersey, as the likeliest cew to the
young woman's murderer.

1t is eight inches long, with round
gold buttonEole bar and three small
rings at each end, and at the other a
round catch connection with another
chain. The links are rolled in a Pc

Near the chain was found a yellow
comb. County detectives believe that
In her death struggle the young wo-
man tore the chain from her assail-
ants lapel. The ground showed that
the body had been dragged six feet
from where the struggle took place.
little boy, Louis di Sciascio, son
Of a Cliffside Park contractor, playing
in the bushes, found the body. He told
Policeman William O'Brien.
An examination by County Physi-
clan William f. Ogden disclosed that
the young woman's skull was frac-
tured.
DR.. Ogden said that her assailant
must have been infuriated during his
attack. The front part of the skull
had been badly battered. probably
with stone. while the back Of the
head had been split by contact with Z
rock.
There were many indications that

Business in real estate circles last
week began to boom again and there
was every indication that the tight
money market of which the agents
have been complaining has begun to
loosen up. AS evidence OF this fact
real estate men point to the first
four days of the week. when 4l4 real
estate transfers were recorded in the
Chancery Court. one of the largest
records OF the year for less than a
week.
Big deals were not in evidence, how
ever. but reports are TO the effect that
small properties were exceedingly
active. Many sales OF between $4,000
and $1,000 were recorded in the Chan
