that ensued upon the finding Of the body of the

Of about thirty missing females went to inspect
the corpse In the hope that 1t would turn out

probably have been heard Of these disap.

ton. In the case Of the corpse found at Sandy
Hook there would seem to be even less means
OF Identification than In the instance to which
We refer. We should. therefore, owing to this
uncertainty, probably hear Of a number Of
fresh disclosures In connection With The dis
covery OF this body which will contribute
to heighten the painful effect produced BY the
New Jersey revelations.
The number OF disappearance which the

which, owing to very long lease Of the pub

could not have prevented this consumnaisa,
even If they had desired 80 to do. They Pc
ferred to accelerate it, and the party has now
been split into hostile factions, more bikts6v

The public is, of course, interested in thsss

was quite unequal to the work, and was snaaah

Mr.. ClAy's States voted for Mr.. Adans,
who had thirteen votes TO Gen. Jack

new democratic party, with Gen. Jackson - u
head, was then formed, and, In 1928, he wss

the details, to brand the late Legislature with
