around John N. Wilson, the confegssi
author of the Wissshickon horror. rho
4 Identification of the remains found in
the water is now complete, and in
every instance the development OF
Thursday, which were Important, tend
TO bear out the story of the vile w-esGa
behind the bars In Chicago in all its Co
tails.
In the matter of Identification the
RhastlJ. shattered skull Of tbs murdered

lay ON Thursday upon shelf In shoonios
of Or. Rush 8. Huidekoper, 1T tbs Uni
versity Of Pennsy yivsnia Beside il
were . number of bones preserved by
the doctor from the time OF tho ing uest.
There were two fragments Of tho hip
bones, which had been severed just 90
low the joints; the three bones Of the
right arm and the perfect skeleton Of
one of the hands. With the exception
of the hand ali showed tho marks Of tho
Icleaver used in hacking the body to
pieces. One blow Of the instrument
had struck tho skull fairly on top,
knocking out wedge-shaped piece OF
the bone, and other blows had smashed
| in the front part of the head.
The fragments of the hip bones showed
numerous dents made by the cleaver be-
fore the murderer succeeded in break
ing them in two. When DR.. Huide-
koper took down the skull on Thursday
to allow @ casual examination particular
attention was paid to the teeth in the
upper Jaw. When Anthony DAILY was
lquite large boy, but still going to
school, he suffered greatly from two
back teeth in the upper jaw, which
were slightly deeayed. His sisters re-
call the fact that he came home from
school one day and went to q dentist,
| who filled them. The examination of
the upper jaw Thursday showed that
two back teeth, one on each side, had
been filed and that it had been good
piece Of work was shown by the fact
that the filing is still there. The teeth
are all in q good state of preservation.
DIR. Huidekoper says that 1t will be
necessary to get the dentist who filed
the teeth to identify his work, il he can
recall doing 1t. All of stahls teeth
were sound.
THE STOMACH GIVES EVIDENCE.
Frederick DAILY, the brother of An
thony Daily, put in another hard days
work Thursday hunting up clues. He
lis an engineer and lives on Somerset
street, near Twelfth. Since Wilson's
confession he has given up work At his
trade end is devoting all of his time to
the case. He went out into the neigh.
borhood of Chestnut Hill, where his
brother lived, Thursday, accompanied
by his brother. r.in-law, John Woods.
J They first went to the residence OF Mrs.
Ernest, on East Mermaid Lane, near
Springs Village, where DAILY ate his
last supper. He took tea with the
, family on the evening Of Saturday,
} Junuary 26,and they say they had cram
berries on the table, aud that Anthony
DAILY ate freely OF them, rs he was
particularly fond Of the fruit. Dr.
III uidekoper, In his exam mination OF the
remains found in the Wissahickon, as
Coroner's physician, discovered that
the stomach, among other partly digest
ed food, contained cranberries, and in
view of the discovery made Thursday
is regarded as q strong point in the
circumstantial evidence accumulating
to confirm Wilson's confession.
Mr.. DAILY pursued his inquiries fur
ther, directing them toward findin 8 out
all about the fertilizer sack in which
parts of the body were placed. He saw
John Shriver, of Germantown and Will
low Grove Roads, who is agent for j.
K. Tygerts phosphate, and Mr.. Shriver
said that Anthony DAILY never bought
any festilizer from him. He said that
two Of Daly's nearest neighbor did,
however, and when it was learned that
DAILY and his neighbors we're on init
small articles from each other, the mat
ter OF the "gunny" sack was clearly
Explained. One Of Anthony Daly's sis
ters is Mrs. John Mcbride, living on
Mill street, near Cumberland, in Ger
maptown. and, like all the other lady
mem bers of the family, she is nearly
prostrated at the horrible revelation
made by Wilson of her brothers end.
She was asked on Thursday il 1t was
true that her brother had forged his
mothers name to notes. ut was 30
1t was not true, as we all believe. My
mother, frequently, just after he aad
started In business, went on his notes
to help him along. She never kept An
account Of the mum Der, feeling that he
would be able to take them up as they
fell due. After he disappeared she was
surprised at the large number Of notes
presented for her to pay. The amount
was not large, but, still, 1t was good
bit for her. We asked her if she had
endorsed all these notes. and she drop
ped her head in her lap aud said, did
not Afterward the signatures we're
shown to be hers, and she admitted sign
ing tbem."
THE QUESTION OF INSURANCE.
" Did your brother have an iusur-
lance upon his life ?'
" Not that we know of. / do not
think he had. We have no doubt that is
WAS his body found in the creek, or
that Wilson was his murderer. He
killed my brother that Saturday night
for money, knowing that he would not
have another opportunity. Ny brother
intended to start West on Monday, and
Wilson we'll knew that he would pass
Sunday night with his family in
IGermantown."
Francis Daily has succeeded In COL
lecting the 5000 insurance On his
brothers. house which was burned.
Lawyer Wanger, Of Norristown, is
busily engaged preparing papers in the
case. 1t is thought that ConSta-
: BILE Bates, on Jenkintown will arrive
with the prisoner on Saturday.
A Western newspaper says that the
latest sensation is a ST. Louis horse
that chews tobacco; but the greatest
sensa tion is DR.. Bulls Cough Syrup.
