Taking a morning paper from his pocket he read the following : `` The inquest upon the body of the mysterious woman found murdered in the Thirtieth Street apartment-house was resumed yesterday at the coroner 's office . Mr. Barnes , the well-known detective , testified that he had been upon the Boston Express at the time of the robbery of the jewels . That he had an interview with the woman at which she gave the name Rose Mitchel , and made an appointment with him at her residence . He called at the time agreed upon , nine o'clock on the morning of the 3d , and discovered her lying in bed with her throat cut . One singular fact brought out by the detective 's testimony is that the woman 's name had been deliberately cut from every garment . This may indicate that Rose Mitchel is an assumed name . `` The doctors who performed the autopsy , declare it as their opinion that the woman was attacked whilst she slept .
