Mutilated Body Mystsry.

Mutilated Body Mystery.
The right leg of the mutilated corpse found in
the East River on Tuesday morning was found
yesterday at tho foot Of Pacific street, Brooklyn.
There were no scars or distinguishing marks on
it. and consequently no additional light has
been thrown on tho mystery through It's dis.
covery. James Morgan. a boatman, of rs Pacific
street. Brooklyn. found tho body. Coroner's
Physician Donlin, who examined the body. said
afterwards:
There is no doubt now about the fragment
found to-day being n part Of the body found Off
James slip last Tuesday. There are no marks
on the leg except some bruises. which I am In
clincd to think were there before death. The
fragment weighs thirty pounds. Like other
parts of the body. 1t shows that the mar was
large and muscular.
THE leg was not broken or sawed of. The
tendOns were cut at the joints of the thigh and
knee. l should say. although they may have been
torn apart. Whoever did the job knew what he
was about. The work shows some knowledge
of surgery. There is n chance that tho leg was
taken off by the paddle wheel or screw OF u
steamboat, but i do not think that likely. The
dead mar WAS undoubtedly murdered"
Capt. McClusky said yesterday that he was
satitcd that identiflcations of the body at the
Morgue were of little value now. There was
the usual large number of callers at the MorRue
yesterday, but most OF them were there out of
curiosity. No identihcations were made.

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. 11.-Jonathan Norcross.
nonagenarian and ex-Mayor of Atlanta, and his
brother-in-law. /. p. Hill, who is an octogenorian.
became involved in n peculiar difficulty this
morning. The wife of Mr.. Norcross died q few
months ago. leaving her property, to the extent
of sos, 900, to her nephew, Mr.. Blanchard. Her
husband is one of the richest citizens of Atlanta
and she bequeathed him only the ring with
which he had wed her. To-day In court Mr..
Norcross signifed his intention Of charging his
dead wife's estate with the board and other ex-
penses he had incurred on her account since
their marriage twenty years ago.
Messrs. Hill and Norcross are joint executors.
and on hearing this a fierce quarrel arose be-
tween the old men. Finally Hill raised his cane
to strike his venerable brother-in-law when on
lockers interviewed. Mr.. Hill charges that Mr..
Norcross. in place of paying his wife's funeral
expenses out of his personal funds. used rents
accruing from her properties for this purpose.
As II IL impossible for the two old men to agree.
Mr.. Blanchard has qualified as tho third OK
ecutor, and will manage the estate for himself.

NEW TRIAL FOR W. X. FREEMAN.
Appellate Division Reverses His Conviction
for AssauItinE sarah Work.

After he had spent q year in Sing Sing on a
sentence OF seven years and nine months for
criminal assault on 15-yoar-old Sarah Work,
Walter X. Freeman learned yesterday that his
conviction had been reversed and a new trial
ordered. The case. which was tried in January,
1907. before Justice Smyth, and which lasted
for two woeks, was ono Of unusual interest. 1t
was set up on behalf Of Freeman, who is an
electrician, that his prosecution was carried on
at the instance of q rival electric company,
which wished to get him out of the way. He
was tried on several indictments, but was finally
convicted on what was practically q charge OF
abduction. During his trial his counsel, Charles
W. Brooke, was seized with q fatal illness and
died within n few days of the timc set for sum-
ming up. The conviction followed and the case
was then taken up by j. r. Dos Passos and e.
II. Harding. who applied before Justice Leslie
W. Russell for q stay of proceedings KS. which was
denied.
The case came up before the Appellate Divi-
sion of the Supreme Court, and yesterday JUS
tice Barrett handed down n decision reversing
the CONVICTION and ordering n new trial on the
ground that improper evidence had been ad-
mitted. An argument bearing upon the alleged
unconstitutionality of the law in such cases was
presented by counsel, but was not passed upon.

PoCGHEEEPsIE. Feb. 1I.--An application was
made to Judge Barnard here to-day for the ap-
pointment of a committee to take charge of the
affairs Of Abraham Smith, an inmate of the Vas
sar Homo for Aged Men. Mr.. Smith is 90 years
old. He was separated from his wife over
twenty years ago. and, becoming feeble and
poor. entered the home. His wife went to New
York city, where. through the death of n rela-
tive, she came into possession of 100000. Four
months ago she died, and in her will left $50, zoe
to her husband. The will has not yet been ad.
united to probate, and the old man is still In the
home.
In the meantime Harriet Nostrand and Mary
Jane Smith, his ~nicces, have taken steps to have
him, declared n ~lunatic and unfit to manage his
affairs. He contends that he is capable. When
he was told that his wife had died and left him
the money he was as Joyous as a youth,for a
week, and told and retold to his aged comrades
in the home the story of his courtship long ago.
He said that he always knew his wife loved him,
even though separated from him, and that he
had loved her and prayed for her ever since they
parted. Judge Barnard issued an order to have
the old mans mental condition inquired into.
