Barnes.
CHICAGO, Decem Der S.-The body OF
man found in a box under the side
walk on South Park-ave yesterday, has
been identified as that OF A. ID. Barnes,
janitor of the HiaWstha building,
Thirtv-seventh street. The body bore
over q score Of ugly wounds, half OF
them sufficient TO cause his death. The
other wounds had evidently been in
ficted with both the cutting edge and
the blunt side Of an ak, and covered the
body from the right temple TO the
knees
Edward Jordan, assistant 1anitor, and
John b. Jersey we're arrested for COM
pllcity In the crime. No motive other
than that OF robbery is advanced, for
Barnes, as far as known, had no enc
mics, and q wgtch and $50 In money
which he had upon his person when last
seen are missing.
To-day John b. Jersey confessed that
he and Jordan murdered Barnes. The
men we're employees Of Barns. Jordan
has exhibited remarkable GOODNESS, hav-
ing been the first TO Identify the body.
The police refuse 70 make public the de-
tails OF Jerseys confession.
Jersey said that Jordan, on the after
noon Of the murder, gave him some
money, told him TO get few drinks and
be back 10 work as s o'clock that
night. When he reappeared Jordan
ordered him TO help carry out the ship
ping case and in doing so some blood
from the box ran out on Jerseys sleeve.
he asked Jordan what that meant and
the latter told him there was q dead
man in the box and that he Jersey
had Better keep quiet about what he
had seen. Badly scared, Jersey kept
quiet until the terrors Of the "sWeat
box" wrupg his story from him.

and this is a recommendation Of itself.
