| way IL the station house he p~urpOsely
cut his hand. 1t bled freely, and he
kept rubbing it on his pants. When
this was observed an examination OF
his clothing was made which revealed
a large spot of dried blood on his pants.
The detective then visited his house
again and found a trunk locked and
nailed Together so tightly that it was
opened with great difficulty. In this
they found packed the arms and legs
of the murdered victim, and in a boiler
thew found the trunk of the body
skinned and cut up. The entrails had
been removed and quicklime put inside
SO as to aid decomposition. There a
been a pool of blood on the floor, but
efforts had been made to obliterate it
by scraping until the boards were al
most white. On the dress of Mrs.
Kretz, which had just been washed,
were stains of biOoc. She said she
scraped the floor at the request OF her
husbands; that Simmons called at the
house on Thursday night and they all
had drinks together, Simmons drinks
being stronger than those of the others,
and that when he was supplied with Ii.
quor Kretz look a Ratchet and chopped
his head OFF, the act being wit
messed by a little stepdaughter
OF his. Mrs. KretZ said that
she herself was up stairs. When Kretz
heard that the body was dicovered
he admitted his guilt and said he had
done it because he had found the vic
tim in criminal intercourse with his
wife. but this Mrs. kretz denies. The
murder was committed no doubt for
robbery, as Simmons vas always
known to have money on his person.
The prisoner found in the possession
of Simmons a watch, and the little
girl says her father took three dollars
and some cents from the pockets of the
murdered man. Mrs. Kretz was taken
to the statinn-house and locked i'm a
separate cell. The prisoner, who says
his real name is Kretz, is an Austrian
by birth and speaks both French
and German. He il about 40 years of
age, stoutly built, five feet six inches
in height and has rather a forbidding
aspect.
