Ithaca, N. Y.--The fate of woman
who disappeared some eighty years
ago became known by a statement
made public by Miss Amelia Crum ex-
planning the disappearance of Mrs.
Edward H. Ruloff, wife of man who
was hanged in Binghamton for the
murder of store clerk. 1t was al
ways understood that Ruloff died on
the gallows denying that he could ex-
plain his wifes disappearance. But
the criminal, prior to his execution,
did confess to his lawyer that he had
murdered his wife and had sunk her
body In Cayuga lake, near Taughan-
mock falls. He placed the body In
chest and weighted 1t with iron. 1t
was never found.
Ruloff's lawyer, on his deathbed, re-
lated the confession to Landon d.
Crum, a cousin to Mrs. Ruloff and IA
Their Of Miss Amelia Crum.
Interest in the mystery was recent
~ aroused by the discovery Of wom-
new State Agriculture college. The
theory that 1t was that of Mrs. Ruloff
was iisproved when several other
skeletons were found, indicating
forgotten graveyard. However, the
talk induced Miss Crum to make her
statement, clearing up the ancient
mystery, all the parties concerned in
1t being now dead.
A daughter of Ruloff, who disap-
peared at the same time her mother
did, had been given away by the I'M
natural father, he confessed. She was
brought up in Philadelphia, and later
