/ had slit ore of her ears entirely, and the
other nearly so, and that as consequence
| both had to be pierced a second time, and
unusually high up. He regretted that
| her SPLENDID array of teeth had been mar
red by the loss of one of them upon the
| left aide of the mouth, and told how a
wound had been received, whose cicatrice
appeared upon one OF her limbs, stating
exactly it's location. He dwelt with some
pride upon the fact that she had been
forced by the unusual developement to
wear stockings too large for her feet, and
gave general description of her hair,
cast of face, and height and weight, that

When he gave this statement he was
not aware that his wife was dead, or Of
tbe finding of her body, and without be-
ing Informed of either fact, he was taken
10 Jersey City, and suddenly confronted
with the, head. The instant he saw it he
sank iuto chair in horror. ~; ..e..,
| His statement having been compared
with the head and record of the body, the
,militude was found to be exact except
As 10 the teeth The head ha0 one tooth
missing both sides of the mouth, and this
fact having been, called to his. attention,
/ Iticard insisted that she had lost but one
when he last saw her, but it : was highly
| probable the other had been forced out
IN the struggle which had robbed her Of
life; the physician, for the first, time max
ing minute examination, found that the
tooth on the right side had been forced
FROM its place, but was still adhering to
| t}ae gum. He easily pushed it back into
it's proper position, and there was the head
without discrepancy between it and the
description of Ads Picard, ,a,,r ofr-,.
M The, detectives found other witnesses,
and also the hairdresser who had acted III
that capacity for Ada Ricard during ma
nv months who, In common with others,
fully confirmed the evidence of Charles
Ricard. The identity of the murdered
woman was therefore established beyond
question. I'D haa.9b.af 7aia sftf
Naturally the next step was to solve the
mystery Of her death. The detectives
went to work with their usual caution,
but persisted in the task they had assign
ed themselves, and were slowly gathering
the shreds of ler life, to weave from
them the thread that would lead to the
author of her tragicsl death, when they
were suddenly tfoored," to use their own
energetic expression. Ada Ricard herself
appeared at down town New York no.
tel, in perfect health and unscathed person.
The explanation was very simple. The
whim had suddenly seized her to go to
New Orleans, and she had gone without
leavertaking or warning. 1t wss no unu-
sual thing in her wandering life, and her
speedy return. was due only to the fact
thatshe found the southern city one mil
itary camp under the iron rule of Gen.
Butler, AID therefore a. improbable field
for her. q,affis,sf s-4.eg..,3f,1f ~ f.,,fs.,q
The ghastly head became more of inys
terry than ever before, The baffied, de-
tectlves could only look at it ,helplessly,
and send descriptions of it over the ooun-
try. AT last it was seen by a man named
Callahan; living in Boston, who was in
search Of o daughter who had gone estray.

, khis daughter, and he was corroborated

several of his neighbors. The identihca-
f ton was no less specific than before, and
: the perplexed authorities, glad at last to
/ know something certain, gave Mr.. Gala
