The Mutilated Body Found in Fair
mount Park. Philadelphia, Iden-
titled Yesterday.
HOW THE DEED WAS DONE
The Victim and His Slayer Were
Partners, and the Murder Was
Committed in a Fit OF Passion
"A Confession.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. Sl.-The mastery
surrounding the finding Of the muhlated
remains of the murdered man in East Fair
mount park, Wednesday last, has been
solved, the corpse Identified aud the mur-
derer is In prison. The murder was dla-
bolical one, and the motive for the deed
was 10 obtain the money OF the murdered
man; but all that the murderer Is known to
have realized by his crime Is $40. Through
the published portrait OF the dead man the
body was recognized as that OF Antoine
Schilling, and the murder traced 10 Jacob
Schroop, partner OF Schilling In Q small
grocery store.
The hatchet, axe and saw used BY
Schroop was found In the cellar OF his
house this morning, covered with blood.
The body was carried Into the cellar where
" was evidently allowed 10 remain until
the following morning. After having been
cut into pieces II was placed In bags and
removed 10 the place where found. The
wooden fiO0r with which a portion OF tho
cellar was covered was blood stained In
many places and resembled q slaughter
house. Schroop's wife, who Is prostratad
on account OF her husbands arrest is In
the custody OF the officers, and will likely
be removed TO hospital until abe RECEIVERS
from the shock, when II 10 likely she, too,
will be placed behind the bars on the
charge OF having had hand In the mur-
der.
The murderer was given q hearing be-
fore magistrate to-day. He gave his
name as Jacob Schoop, aged 63 years, and
said he was born in Switzerland. A police
official testified Ia Schoop having confessed
10 the murder OF Schilling and the prisoner
was then formally committed TO await the
action OF the coroner. Late this afternoon
Chief Wood gave 10 the newspapers CODY
OF the confession made by Scho0p, In
which the latter says the name OF the muir
dered man was Antoine Schilling, and that
he killed him about O'clock on the morn
Ing OF Christmas day. He says he arose
from bed about that hour and went TO the
kitchen 10 get some food for his wife, who
was slck. On looking In the cupboard be
found no victuals there, and turning to
Schilling, who was In the room, accused
him OF having eaten what had been left In
the closet Schilling denied having eaten
the food and Schoop, becoming angered,
knocked him down and beat him 10 death
with heavy piece of wood. He left the
body lying In the kitchen until O'Clock In
the afternoon, when he cut of the legs and
threw the body and severed legs into the
cellar The next morning about . o'clock
he hitched up horse and wagon and hav-
ing placed the dismembered body In two
bags he loaded the bags into the wagon
aud drove 10 the park and placed the bags
In the pipe. where they were found late the
same day by the boys.
