some light on the mysterious
Staying.
The prison official declared
that he will cooperate with the
New York authorities in every
way possible, but said he is doubt
ful If he can be of any use, as
he had not seen his divorced wife
in almost four years and knew
nothing of her mode of life or
friends in the eight years since
he received a divorce from her.
Meanwhile New York is rocked
by the Staying of the woman as
It has not been since the murder
of Herman ROsenthal, the gam
bier who also threatened to
"squeal" on police vice activities
. score Of years.
Stranger Is Sought
Every force of the New York
police has been turned to the
task of finding the man or men
who took the woman to Van
CORTLAND Park, tied a piece of
clotheSline around her neck, and
strangled her.
Police intend quizzing Mr.. Bis
choff about letters written him
by his divorced wife in which
she accused him Of framing"
her on a vice arrest in 1923
when she was sent to the re-
formatory on a charge of immor-
atty.
Policeman Is Awaited
Andrew H. Mclaughlin, vice
squad patrolman ..ccused Of the
frame.up with Mr.. BiSchoff by
the dead woman, is expected back
in New York tomorrow from a
trip to Bermuda, and he will be
questioned at length concerning
the affair.
RI. BischOff ridicuIed the
charge that her conviction was a
frame-up. He said he was In
court at the time Of the trial
and from the evidence submitted
there seemed no question as to
her guilt.
Two men are already held by
New York police as material wit
nesses in the case under $4,000
bond each. They are John Rade-
noff, formerly the slain Jwoman's
attorney, and Samuel Cohen, also
known as Samuel Harris, another
client Of his.
Her Diaries Found
These men were detained by
police following perusal Of letters
and diaries found in her apart
ment in an exclusive New York
apartment.
Branding the crime as a chal-
lenge to New York, and declar-
ing that the good citizens should
organize as vigilantes to war on
organized crime. Rabbi Stephen
S. Wise and John Haynes Holmes,
of the committee on city affairs,
issued a joint statement.
The statement pointed out that
this murder was an answer by
criminals to police and the citi-
zens who seek to probe organized
criminality, and demanded that
such conditions be eradicated.
She Demanded Girl
Mr.. Bischoff said that his di-
vorced wife has often attempted
to gain the custody of his 16-
year-old daughter, Bonita, and
had several times written threat
ening letters to him.
A letter was received by his wife
last week at their home in Audi.
bon, N. j., from the slain woman,
making the threat to "get him"
because of the alleged frame-up.
He has not seen this letter yet,
he said, his wife having read him
part of it over the telephone. He
told her to save it and that he
would read it when he returned
home over the weekend.
