DISPUTE OVER fSTATE Wom^ MiMing for fevoral W««k% Found In Pond With Rop« Tight, •nud • About Her Nock—Gar< roto Loado to Arrost. New York.—Accused of murdering her stepmother In a dispute over the division of her faj^er*s estate, Mrs. Car<rtina Verderosa, a seventeen-year- old girt, and her husband, Lutlano Verderosa. a Williamsburgh conftrac- tor, were held without ball. The arrests were made within a few hours of the time when the body of the stepmother, Mrs. CatheriifB Trotta, was found in Cooper’s pond, in the Greenpoint section Of Brooklyn, with a rope tightened about the neck. » Mad Been Miesing a Month. Mrs. Trotta had been missing since she left lier home in Brooklyn some weeks ago to do some marketing and to attend to some matters connected with the settlement of her husband’s % estate. When she did not return a son-in-law reported her disappearance to the police nn«l a search was started. The police lu-.med that Mrs. Trotta had gone from her home to liie North Side Savings bank in Williamsburgh, where she drew out $400. From there she went to a pawnbroker’s to take out of pawn some jewelry valued at $1,0U0, which had belonged to her hus band. It was her intention. It is be lieved, ^o sell the jewelry and divide the proceeds among those who were to share in her husband’s estate. Garrote Leads to Arrest. Mrs. Trotta, it was found, had the jewelry with her when she went to a meat market to make a purchase. Soon after that she was reported as entering the Verderosa home in Wil liamsburgh. j When Mrs. Ti’Otta’s b^y w’as foucd in Cooper’s pond the police discarded the theory of robbery. Her handbag, a The Body Was Found in Cooper's Pond. which had contained the redeemed jewelry, was missing, but there were five rings on the fingers and about $15 in cash in a pocket, which, the police believed, robbers would not have over looked. The evidence which led to the ar rest of the Verderosas was the cord about Mrs. Trotta’s neck, with which, in the belief of Dr. Carl Pottiger, Brooklyn medical examiner, the mur der was accompished. It was a short piece of sash rope, apparently recent ly cut. In their search of the Ver derosa apartment, after the body was found, the police found a quantity of similar cord. SHE LIVES IN HIDDEN ROOM Woman Rents Whole House to Tenant, But Continues to bcoupy Part of It Secretly. Philadelphia.—Occupancy of a se cret room in a building which she had leased in its entirety to Mrs. Bertha M. Nelson of Philadelphia, during the full peroid of the lease, resulted in a decision by Judge Repetto, In Atlan tic City, N. J., that Mrs. K. Louise Barrett must'pay the sum of $400 as a fair rental \ for the room. Discovery of the strange, abode of the owner of the house did not occur until several months after the lease had been executed and possession taken by the tenant. Mrs. Barrett had built a room adjoining th« porch and access to it was made by a secret ■tairway. The room was entirely shut •ff fr<Hu the rest of the house. Attempts to dispossess the owner failed and finally suit was instituted tot rental. Mrs. Nelsmi rented the premises for the sum of $2,500. Hanged Self From Garret Raftetik Hartford, Conn.—^The body ol Thomas Hepburn, ^een-year-old s<» •( Dir. and Mrs. Thomas N.

Y.—^There may be a mystery to unravel in c<mnectlon witb the strange ease of Miss Jennie Hall, who for 16 years was held' a prisoner by her mother, Mrs. Catherine Halt and another daughter, in ,a tumble* down shack near Round Lake, a shorf distance from Ballston, Saratoga coun ty, N‘«w York. During all pf this period Jennie never saw the light of day except a^ it may have slightly filtered through a heavily planked window. Never ex cept twice did* she see another htunau being except her mother alid her sis ter, Never in the 16 years tintit a hu mane officer from Saratoga entered her dark prison the- other day die she see a man, and at dlght ot the un usual spectacle she fainted. Only One Neighbor Knew. Only one neighbor knew that such a being as jdie existed, and it was this n<'f"!sl)or who finally brought the mat ter to the attention of the Saratoga County Human^ society, whose super intendent, William. Hennessy, invetsrti- gated and led the affrighted woman, who is thirty-one years old, away from iier prison. Other neighbors consid ered the Hall family—mother and daughter, as “queer,” and the shack in which they lived was avoided. Jennie h«« the mentality of a child. When found by the bumane officer she was wearing a child’s bonnet, which apparently she dearly prized, and a child’s clothing. Jennie at one time—some twenty years ago—was for §. brief time an in mate of the State Hospital for tlie In sane at Utica. When she returned to her home she vanished from sight, to live '•he Intervening years up to the prt^rit buried in a living prison. . The mentality of the mother aiM the other daughter is now being in quired into and action in the case Of Jennie will be taken accordingly. Mystery in Key. The element of 'mystery centers around a key found tied in the apron of tliQ. .mfither, Mr% Hall. Evidentiy Never in 16 Years Had She Seen a Man tblQg* bas not as yet been discovered.
