H[ADLESS HORROR
Body Found in Verona Lake
Lies in the Orange
Morgue.

NEW YORK, May Z. 1s9S.-The body of
the headless man which was found last
evening on the southern shore of Verona
Lake, about two ard a half miles from
Montclair, n. J., is at the Orange, N. j.,
morgue awaiting Identification. The po-
lice believe that the man was murdered,
and that the missing head will be found
in the lake.
If it is nj recovered by grabbing the
lake will be drained. The morgue when
the body was taken was visited by scores
of people this morning. but as yet they
have been unable to recognize the head
less corpse. An examination of the body
showed three buller wounds. One was in
the upper part of the right arm, a sec
ond in the left arm, and third in the
back, under the right shoulder. The man
was evidently about % years of age. of
medium height and his hands showed he
was not accustomed to hard work.
The man had only been dead a short
time, as the body was still warm when
found by the boys. From the fact that
the hat band Of the brown derby bore the
name of a Newark dealer, the police think
that the murdered man might have resid-
ed in that city.

office" for policemen, a law that has
done more to promote the efficiency of the
police service throughout the State thar
any thing else. He has been engaged In
all braEches of the service and has per-
| s~onally. and by direction, successfully
worked up many cases in the detective
branch which has been of National and
| world wide reputation. He has excelied
as an organizer and as the creator OF
the present excellent discipline which
obtains in the Police Department.
The very best evidence of the perfect
discipline attained by the force was
demonstrated in April, 1889, when there
was a conflict between the Police Com
m~issioners who were appointed under the
old charter and the new Board. Upon
thai occasion every member of the force,
from the captains down to the doormen,
obeyed the orders of Chief Murphy, when
there We're grave doubts as to which
government would be recognized by law,
and when in many cases, the officers and
men were placed in their positions by the
very men whom they were called upon
to disobey.
The present manual for the government
Vi tlG Oit 1Ok1C was ~
Chief Murphy. 1t is a book full of prac-
teal information for policemen. The
schoo of instruction that is arranged in
the form of questions and answers in the
manual is almost a reorganization of the
entire work, and makes it possible for any
man of ordinary intelligence to under
stand the powers and duties of the police
officer.
In 1891 a law was passed creating the
office of superintendent of police. thus
superseding the chief. For three years
his duties became merely those OF an in
spector, but at the end of that time the
law creating a superintendent was repeal
ed and the chief became the commanding
officer of the force again. In the past
twenty-five years the force has grown
from 103 officers and men to 301; four
new station houses have been built. one
rebuilt and the ground occurred for a fine
house for the Sixth Precinct. The very
latest electrical appliances have been
secured in connection with the police ser

the police of Jersey City have progressed
and have kept up with the times until
today it is admitted all over the country
that the Jersey City police are equal to
any other in the United States.
During Chief Murphy's twenty-five
years of service there has never been a
complaint against him for any violation
of the rules, he has only lost three days
from sickness and outside of the usual
summer vacation has not lost a single
days duty. He has been suspended twice
for political reasons, once for procuring
evidence against violators of the election
laws and the other time for ousting a
Board of Police Commissioners who were
holding their Office in violation of law.
In both caeses he was reirstated without
a trial.
