MRS. HULL WHO IDENTIFIED THE BODY OF THE MURDERED WOMAN, SAYS IT IS HER SISTER WHO SHE WISHED TO PROTECT

New York, January 3. Systematic search was begun, today of the bottom of the Passaic river, near Harrison, for tho missing garments ot the -woman whose body was orud on December 20 in the pond of the Lampblack swamp. A diver ar.Ived on the scene this morning and first set up his apparatus on the Harrison side of the river, near whloh. the shirt waist was picked up. After the search there was completd without finding anything the diver treat to the Newark aide, where the feltlrt was picked up. Volt, the night watchman, who found the skirt, saya that when he took It from the bank Something seemed to drop out of It and tzrto.tha water. Besides the diver others were at "work today on the- bottom of the river, ing grappling Irons In- the hope that some garments belonging to the woman might be hooked. "With nothing yet established as to th Identity of the victim of the murHgr the police will endeavor to see if the mystery Is solvable without the Identification of tho victim. After seven days havo elapsed persons are beginning to remember suddenly that they heard noises near the ewamp on the night of tho tragedy, said hardly a day passes now that tome oue does not come forward who b&s come to tho conclusion that he saw either the murdered woman or the man who killed her on the night that the murder was committed. So lar the- story of Peter Coogan, the watchman, has stood the test best, and It is one of the few tangible clews which the. police have to work on. Mrs. Hattie Hull, of Now York, whose alleged identifications have exasperated and mystified the police, returned within the jurisdiction of the New Jersey courts and tonijiht. for four hours was under oxaim nation by Recorder Branegan and tho coroner. She Rttick to her latent identification la which she claimed to n-cocnize the body as that of her sister. Minnie Jeannette Gaston, of S. rvillo. Tenn. Mrs. Hull first identified tho body as that of a Manhattan woman, who subsequently was found to be alive. When confronted with this Mrs. Hull dramatically declared that sae had recognized her own sis-ter in the dead woman, but rather than that the memory of Minnie should be sullied by a scandal she had deliberately deceived the police.
