Mystery Man Views Mrs Everett's Body in Newburg
Unidentified body of a woman who shot herself at the Colonnade Hotel in New York remains at the morgue. A well-dressed middle aged man laid flowers on the corpse, while another man who spoke with the deceased in Central Park last week believes she is the same woman. Details point to an international background with English made corsets and French goods, and the Newburg hotel guest history places Mrs Everett at the Palatine and Howland House before her move to New York.
