TO SELL THE BODY
Awful Reason for a Camden,

A COLoRED FIEND'S WORK.

4 CoLoRED FIEND's WORK.

He Wrote a Letter TO Student venn, of the
RsmAins-Venu sent the Letter to the
Chief of the Camden Police, Who Paid
No Attention to It Until After the Mar
der-It Might Have Been Prevented.
CAMDEN, N. j., May 10-A woman
was murdered in Camden yesterday
that her body could be sold to a medical
student at the University of Pennsyl-
vania, whose name is Venn.
For some time James r. Moulton, a
middle-aged man, had been living with
Lydia Ann Wyatt, a colored woman,
who had some money. Moulton had en-
deavored to get money from her, and
when she sold some property las week
and obtained $500 he began to lay plans.
He wrote a letter to student Venn offer
ing to sell the body of a woman for dis
secting purposes, and said he would de-
liver the remains himself. Yesterday
Moulton came over from Philadelphia
and called at Mrs. Wyatt's house. He
demanded that she should give him a
couple of hundred dollars. He coupled
this with the statement that if she
ulunU ne would give ner TO Une dOcJorS,
who would cut her up. The woman was
frightened and offered to give Moulton
a small sum of cash, but when she
showed her money he felled her to the
floor, broke her head, and then took her
money. He laid the body out in prepar-
alton for removing it to Philadelphia.
Neighbors noticed thot the woman
was not about and went into her house.
They discovered the murder and Moul-
ton was arrested. Student Venn had in
the meantime sent the letter offering
the body to him to the chief of police of
Philadelphia, who sent it over to the
Camden police. The Jersey officers paid
no attention to the letter until after the
murder, and then it dawned upon them
that they might have prevented the
crime.
When Moulton WAS arrested he said
he had only a little change, but $3.50 was
found on him. One of his fingers was
injured, and had bled. He said in ex-
PLANTATION that he had fallen down. No
body here doubts that he committed the
murder.

turned to his native land after renounc-
ing American citizenship, states that he
has not the slightest fear Of going to ST.

Congressman Rayner has become inter
ested in Neufeldt's case. He said to-day
that if Neufeldt was compelled to give
up his citizenship here in order to obtain
his inheritance, the State Department
would be asked to take action in the
matter on the ground of coercion. Ac-
cording to the cables Neufeldt was re-
fused admission to Russia because he
was an American citizen and a Jew.
The amount to be distributed and OF
which he was to get a share is said to be
1000, 900 roubles.
A letter has been received from Mr..
Neufeldt by his father-in-law, Moses
Moses, a wealthy ~liveryman, in which
he tells his experiences regarding the
trouble with the Russian authorities.
First he says he applied to the Russian
Consul at Baltimore and New York to
wise his passports, but they, after ca
bling the home government for instruc-
tions, refused to grant his request be-
cause he was an American citizen and a
Jew. On arriving in Berlin he applied
to the Russian Consul, but he also de-
clined. He applied to the American
Consul, but that official could not help
him. Legal authorities were then con.
suited, and he was advised to go tC
Warsaw and establish his claims as a

NEwBURGH, May 9.-The arrest on
Saturday of Saloon Keeper Michael Hor-
ton, Thomas Gillooly and John j. Pen
der on a charge of ~defrauding the West
Shore Railroad Company is estimated
here as of very great Importance. They
are accused of conspiring with passen-
ger conductors to resell tickets and re-
d~uced-rate ticket book covers.
Fender came here in the latter part Of
March. He said he was a New Yorker
and in the insurance business, but he
never did anything here in that line. II
wasn't long after his arrival that he be.
gan to hang around the West Shore de.
pot. There he met Horton, who keeps a
saloon a short distance away in South
Water street, and Gillooly, who is the
depot news agent. 1t was soon whis-
pered that they were in partnership in
the ticket scalping business. The loss OF
the railroad company is said here to ag
gregate many thousands of dollars.
A warrant has been issued for a young
man named Thomas Cunningham, who
worked for Horton, but he has got away.
District Attorney Michael II. Hirschberg
of Newburgh, travelled over the road
many times last winter, and people here
think it was he who informed the West
Shore officials of how they We're being
swindled.
After being arrested the three men

very nervous at the hearing, but Fender
was very cool.

almost familiar way in which the Pink

smiled knowingly when his name wa,
mentioned. He acknowledged, how
ever, that he was going TO proceed

had ~patronized the scalpers, knowing
they were swindling the road.

that other arrests will follow soon.

THE ILLINOIS FLOODS.
Great Damage Reported from Many Pla
ces-DaBger Not Yet Over.

Great Damage Reported from Many Pln-
ces-Danger Not Yet Over.
CHICAGO, May 9.-Reports from the
food districts Of Illinois indicate no i'm
provement in the situation and at many
points the waters are still rising threat
ing addition to the already enormous
losses.
The past week has indeed been a dis
astrous one and the worst is by no means
over.
Every stream in the State is still swollen
or out on its banks, and scores of towns
are cellar deep in water. The rainfall has
been unprecedented. For four days and
four nights the water came in sheets,
accompanied by the most deafening
thunder and vivid lightning.
Railroads have been washed out, build
ings moved from their foundations, and
cattle drowned by the hundreds. Even
in Chicago the water rose to a great
depth on the prairie land, carrying away
sidewalks and destroying roads.
The greatest damage is reported from
the cities along the Illinois River. Seas
of water are over Ottawa, Marseilles,
Peoria, La Sale, and Utica. Boats are
used for communication. Despite all
efforts, the manufacturing district of
Ottawa is now covered by water.
AS the waters rose building after
building would close down and the en-
plOyes leave to await the subsiding of
the flood. 1t will be two or three days
before the more fortunate of the flooded
factories can be entered at all, and it
will take a much longer time to remove
the accumulations of mud and debris
which came with the inundation. Ottawa
will be helpless for a week at least.
Marseilles, La Sale, and Peoria are in
an even more desperate condition. At
Marseilles the river is more and more
dreaded as the levees weaken. There is
little hope that they will stand much
longer, and every one in the threatened
district has removed all property tC
high ground.
At La Sale the situation is very
desperate, the water having advanced
from two to three feet all around the
city, and the manufactures, the water
works, street railway, and electric light
plants are still under water.
The same condition is present at Peoria
and in both cities all business is practi
cally suspended. At Utica the water;
have e~ncroached still further upon the
lower end of the village from the river
and the outlets east and west are block
ed by water.
