Neighbors say that only a few days before her death she had ex hibited diamonds and rings estimated to te worth izooo. "When 'the woman first moved In. said Mrs. Miller, the janltress.

'Flora" was the name by which the woman was known In the neighborhood where she lived. All day today her body lay at the morgue unidentified. Among others who viewed the remains was Dr. Rocco Bellontonl of 171 Broome street. A bottle had been found in the flat bearing a label upon which was written tne doctors name. But the physician could not recall that he had ever seen the woman before. Captain Carey, who has charrs of the investigation, said todayt "For the reason that this woman had been dead for perhaps two weeks before tne janltress became suspicious and we broke in, the unraveling of the mystery has been mace especially difficult .

It seemed, would result in a complete breakdown of the star witness. The "reconstruction of the crime," a test that is usually applied in cases of such importance, was not resorted to, with Madame 8temhell. The publio is convinced that had the double murder been re-enacted before Madame Stelnhell while in her highly nervous state, the whole truth of the crime would have come out. . The mur der of Stelnhell Is believed to have grown out of his known possesion of papers and documents that involved his wife with the late President Faure and the latter with the famous Drey fus case. lie also had letters that con cerned well known adventures of Madame Steinheil out of which he bad tried to realise In a financial way. llAlflS TRIAL IS COMPLEX TANGLE Puzzling Problems. Flushing, I I, Dee. One of the most complex legal tangles in the his tory of New Tork Jurisprudence will be presented to the supreme court here Monday, when the trial of Thornton Jenkins Bains for murder In the first both degree is called. ne was ing of Publisher William E. Annls by . Aranilnor that he was accessory. before and after the crime, to the kill- Captain Peter C Hains, the prosecution forced his Indictment as a principal. As soon as court convenes at 1:30 Monday afternoon John F. Mclntyre, counsel for T. .Jenkins Hains, will move for the dismissal of the Indictment - on the : ground that he was not the principal in the crime. This motion wu, be denied. Because ot the fact that the accom plice is being tried before his alleged principal the questions Involved, the at torneys in the case declare, are all new, and several novel points are expected to be raised during the progress of the trial. ,9efense Will Deny Premeditation. The defense will be a straight line disavowal of Intent and denial that T. Jenkins Hains had anything to do with : the killing. He and Captain Hains were at Bayside on. the day of the tragedy, Attorney Mclntyre will argue. In order to make a real estate purchase and neither man knew that Annls was to be there. --. Five witnesses have been subpoenaed by the defense to prove why the brothers were there. Hains will likely take the stand in person and tell how he endeavored to protect his brother from the spectators who tried to kill him after' the shooting. There will be no attempt on the part of the defense, according to present plans, to bring Mrs. Captain Hains Into the case in any way. All that T. Jenkins Hains' defense will contend will be that . Captain Hains was insane when he killed Annis, and that all the defendant did was to keep the crowd off the brother until the police arrived. Should the prosecution, however, when Hains takes the stand, make him their witness by asking questions af fecting Mrs. Hains, it Is likely that T. . jenKins win welcome the chance to make whatever charges are wanted against his brother's wife, and these will have to stand on the record as he reiterates them, inasmuch as the de fense will not ask any questions along this line. General Hains Is expected to arrive here tomorrow. He will atay by his son during the trial and give him all the encouragement possible. Every effort win r maae 10 nurry tne case. Justice Crane announced today that . he expected to hold three sessions of court a day morning, afternoon and night. He also served notice on the lawyers mai ne would not permit ex tended wrangling among them and he expected to rule sharply on the admissi bility of certain evidence. He is ex pected to rule adversely against letting into the case any long drawn out evi dence dealing witn lire in the posts in New Tork harbor. Attorney Mclntyre stated today that ne am not snow- wnetner captain Hains would be a witness at the trial of his nrotner, out it- is not believed he will be called, as in his own trial if It ever comes oti tne aerense wui be insanity: it is not darned avlsable to place him on the stand and subject him to a search ing cross-examination, while his own lire is at stase.

There's a Reaicni" RECOGIIITII American Claims for Crea tion of Another Cardinal May Be Eealized. (Unites Pm teued Wire.) Rome, Dec. 12. Advocates of the cre ation of another American cardinal pro fessed to see a hopeful sign in the postponement of the consistory until next year, probably in January or March. Their belief is that the delay was de cided on to give further time for the consideration of America's claims. The American candidates most dis cussed are Archbishop Farley of New Tork. Williams of Boston. Oulzlev of Chicago and Olennon of St. Louis. In spite or today's hoperul impression, a majority among the best Informed clericals in Rome do not think America's chances good for a cardinal at the com ing consistory. Those who are actually slated for the red hat, according to a high authority, are Monslgnor Madex Bello, present pa triach of Lisbon: Monslgnor Oranlto dl Belmonte, now legate at Vienna, but whose further stay there Is considered underslrable; Monslgnor Blsletl, first maiordomo of the Vatican: Monalrnor Giustinl. secretary of the congregation or sacraments, ana consignor lju sural, assessor to the holy office. Archbishop .Bourne or Westminster and Father Oas auet of the abbey of Benedlctlnea era also favorably mentioned. 1 TRIALS ON IIEXT WEEK sssasBsssBBBBSBBBaisBBaeaaanssaV Circuit Judges Will Hear the Testimony on Three Cases of Violence.
