committed. James r. Moulton. also col

ing. has been arrested on suspicion of
being the murderer. Police Justice Panl re-
ceived information this afternoon, which, if
confirmed. shows the act of the murderer to
have been one of the most fendish on rec
ord. It IS to the effect that MonltOn had
contracted with parties at Philadelphia to
sell the body OF the woman. After making
all arrangements as to the price to be paid
for the corpse, method of delivery, etc.
the tend Is said 10 have deliberately
mashed in the skull of his victim with q
hatchet. The police are now running ont
this clew. Although he has not as yet con-
tossed. from the conflicting stories he has
told and from the blood-stains found on
his hands and clothing. there Is hardly q
doubt that Moulton murdered the woman.
His motive for the crime was to gain pos
session of some six or seven hundred dol

exceedingly ignorant. british negro, and
when arrested this morning was very
drunk.

two officers. representing themselvss as
medical students, called upon Moulton,
and he made the same proposition to them
that he had made to Vepnco. Since then
the authorities here seem to have done
nothing In the matter, and refnse to talk
upon the subject. The woman had deter
mined to enter q home in Philadelphia for
aged colOred people, and it is supposed that
MoultOn feared she would leave his honse
before he could get her money from her,
and he therefore killed her this morning.
When searched SS25 was found upon him.
