douh. rod to ho that of Actios t.t'Kt elo, j
n domostio, who had been omployed, by
several families in Onmwe.
Doctors Dest'ribe the Murder.
Tlio physicians discovered that tho
viimiia had boon sUiiek . twice on the
buck of tho Jioad Avith such force as
to render her unconscious, and that
Avhi'j this state, and still l.ivathimr.
she was pitched headforemost iuto tho
pool, where she wns drowmxl. There
were two tdirasions at t lie base of the
brain btli'nd the rljrht ear. After in
tlictinc tiit'se, the physicians deter
mined, the murderer slit the woman's
clothing from the neck down. This
feat was skillfully done, for though
the entlintr was made with hardly more
than a single movement of a keen
edged woaon that strt)ke made its
way thro m:h every thickness of cloth
ing and nt no time did the point of
the knife enter the body.
Identification of the Woman.
Tse identification of the dead wo
man wns first made by Mrs. Mar
era ret "Wright, who conducts an em
ployment bureau In Montcbdr, N. J.
She said that the woman had called on
her earlier in the month and asked f :r
employment. Later Mrs. Wright's
identification was practically corrobor
ated by Detective Serjeant Draybeil,
of Orange, N. J.. who said the wo
man's name was Annie VKoef'e. and
that he knew her well two years ojro
when, she was employed in the home
of Thomas Kevins, a contractor in
Orange.
Seems To Fe the Old, Old Story.
The Harrison police have learned
much of Miss O Keefe s movement
just before the murder from Thomas
riannacran. an elevator man in n New-
aik department store, who after a visit
to the morgue, declared with posit ive
ness that Miss O'Keefo had been In
the store on Christmas Eve. and had
asked him if a man had inquired for
n woman in a red dress. He said that
Miss O'Keefo appeared nervous, anl
after stating that she had j:n apart
mont with the man. remained at the
store for over an hour.
She Probably Met Him Later.
Later. Flannacrnn said, he saw and
spoke to her in a Chinese restaurant,
and she told him that she had been un
able to find the man. He states 1h:i
the woman left the restaurant shortly
before midnitrht. Tho police .say there
is no doubt that she linally met this
man. and after spending Christmas
I av with him was lured into the Hack-
ensack meadows and murdered.
