THE MINA MULLER MURDER.
MURDERED BY HER HUSBAND OF AN HOUR.
On Friday morning, the 13th of last May, a German, whose purpose was
to gather green leaves to sell to florists in N. Y. city, entered the
path leading from Bergen avenue, in the district known as Bull’s Ferry,
north of Weehawken. He had followed it eastward toward the river about
100 feet, and had turned aside to the right about twenty feet, when
he was appalled by almost stepping upon the dead body of a woman. He
hurried away to inform the police.
Early in the afternoon Coroner Wiggins, of Hoboken, visited the spot
and made a careful examination. He judged that the woman had not been
over 25 years old. Along the top of the head, on the left side, was a
deep gash, and beneath it the skull was fractured. There was another
gash over the right eye. Both of these gashes were apparently made
with the edge of a stone. The nose was broken in the middle. The right
side of the head had apparently been crushed by a stone. The left ear
was injured as if an ear-ring had been torn from it. Search was made
for the missing ear-ring, but it was not found. Her face had become
blackened by the sun, which shone upon the spot where the body lay. The
features were small and symmetrical. She wore number one or number two
buttoned shoes.
An investigation was at once begun by the coroner, but without much
success.
