Paterson, N. ,!., July .'51. Mnbcl
Harris, the ouns I'ompton, X. J.,
Rlrl, whoso bodj- wns louii'l In tlie Ilnm
apo river jestcrifny morning, after she
lintl mysteriously disappeared Sunday
night while out in n ennoe with her
finnre. Lester Dottier, came to her
death hy drowning, according to the
finding of Dr. Robert Armstrong,
county phjsician of Pasnic, who con
ducted nn autopsy.
Decker, who tins been held in the
county jail here, pending the imestign
tion into the young woman's death, was
) pleased fiom custody todn. His re
lease was 1 (commended by. County
I'tosccutor Dunn, who reported that nn
autopsy on the joung woman's body
showed that she had met death by
drowning und there were no marks of
violence on the bod
Mr Dunn said that no water was
found in the. girl's lungs, but this was
not strange, he explained, as she might
have fainted from flight or been ren
dered unconscious when buffeted nbout
with the ennoe on the rocks below the
falls.
Mr. Dunn announced late at night
that lie would appear in the city com t
of Paterson todny and ask for the le
lense of Decker. He said that Doctor
Armstrong, Mtinson Force, assistant
ptosertitor. and the county detectives
had ome to the conclusion that there
was no evidence on which they could
hold the oung man.
Mr, Dunn made it clear tliut the au
topsy developed that thcic were no
marks of ciiminnl violence or other at
tack. Their were biuises on the head
and body, but these weie caused mi
doubtcdlj, he thought, when the couple
were thrown over the edge of the dam
onto the jagged locks below.
Although joung Decker, who had
been held on huspicion of having
caused the girl's death, told heeral
conflicting stmies, this was attributed to
the dazed condition of his mind follow -lug
the accident.

Well-Assorted Stocks of Standard
Rugs and Carpets at Right Prices
The Rug and Carpet manufacturers are booking orders for 1920. Most of them are
over&old for the, coming autumn that means it is impossible to secure any considerable
quantity of floor coverings for this season on orders placed now. A scarcity at the mills
is inevitable, and wholesale prices are higher than eyer before.
We placed our orders very early, with instructions to ship at once. Consequently,
we have received many thousands of dollars' worth of Rugs, Carpets and Linoleums during
the past three months, and our stocks for autumn are very nearly complete the most
popular standard makes and grades, in hundreds of new designs and colorings. OWNED
BY US AT LESS THAN PRESENT MARKET VALUE, and marked accordingly for retail
selling. Here are extra-fine Wiltons, Royal Wiltons, Axminsters.Wiltones, Body Brussels
and Tapestry Brussels Rugs, in all regular sizes from small mats to 11.3x15 feet.
