He handed in a lady's gold watch and
$50 in coin, and asked that the valu-

he said, ''and are living in Stevenson,

Later in the evening Judge j. H.
Guerry of Georgia, who has lately come
to this State to practice law, called on
the prisoner and tended his services as
friend of the family, and he was ac-
cepted. He will appear in court TO-
morrow when Rosser is arraigned.
Tha murdered man had never seen
Rosser before the fatal shot was hred.
The boy who narrowly escaped death
when Rosser fired his second shot was
standing beside Hildebrandt, and as
serts that the bullet was aimed at ms
head by the soldier, who after firing IL
walked toward the rear entrance OF the
market, exclaiming: What is the mat
ter with Tennessee?"
On reaching Stevenson street Rosser
pointed his revolver at Nels johnson,
waiter, who had pursued him, and
another murder might have been COM
mitted had not a police officer grabbed
the soldiers arm. The murderer fought
against arrest and almost succeeded in
escaping in the excitement haV4ng
slipped one hand through the steel
handcuffs While waiting for the pa
troll wagon he is said to have pushed
the dead body of his victim with the
toe of his shoe.
Colonel Smith of the Tennessee regi-
ment deeply regrets the odium which
the crime has cast on his command.
He will compel all the men to surren-
der their weapons, and may restrict
their liberty in future.
The detachment of twelve men and
the provost guard of sixty-four volun-

drunken soldiers to camp created much
excitement in the downtown districts.
They patrolled the streets in squads
fully armed, standing up every soldier
who was met, and invading all the sa-
looms on Market street and adjacent
thoroughfares. Such sight has never

In an interview published in an even

100 outfits, representing perhaps sixty

starving. The poor fellows had in
many cases lost everything-clothing
horses and provisions - and were
struggling along in a half-dazed con-

and squirrels-in fact, anything they
could get. They are a hungry, ragged
and desperate crowd of men, with
small hopes of reaching their des-

them lying under trees and under i'm

along in the daytime, and often lying

BRIDGEPORT TRAGEDY.
All Parts Of the Body Of the Muir
dered Woman Found.

BRIDGEPORT (Conn.), Sept. 13.-All
the parts of the dismembered body OF
the young woman so mysteriously muir
dered and mutilated and cast into the
waters Of the Yellow Mill River have
been found. The trunk was discovered
to-day. The upper half, with the arms
attached, was in one package, while the
lower part of the body was in second
package. The upper half of the body
was wrapped in what appeared to be
half of a black rubber carriage blanket.
There were eyelet holes in it, The alb
dominal part of the trunk was wrapped
in a white rubber sheet, such as used
in surgical operating rooms.
The latter circumstances, together
with the plain evidence that the body
was severed like the legs and the head
by using a keen knife and perfect
edged saw, leads the police to the con-
clusion that the mutilation, and pre-
sumably the murder, was done by a
surgeon
The upper half of the trunk is in
tact The stomach, liver and other
organs located in the upper part of
the human anatomy are all in place,
but the abdominal portion of the body
has been desolated of nearly every or
gan. This suggests that the young wo-
man was the victim of a, criminal oper-
alton at the hands of a physician, who
brought his skill into play in an effort
to destroy the evidence of the crime as
we'll as to destroy the body of the vic
tim Of his malpractice.
The first discovery in this tragedy
was made yesterday when two boys
found bundle in the Yellow Mill River
containing the legs of a woman. They
were wrapped in cloth and a white rub
Der sheet such as is used by physicians
and nurses. One leg was chopped in
two. Both were cut off at the thigh
Another bundle was found a little
later containing the head of a woman
20 years of age. 1t was wrapped in a
piece of mans underwear and rubber.
1t was tied with a corset string.
A piece of muslin in the Woman's S
mouth indicate that she was gagged
With it, or perhaps smothered.
The woman may have been poisoned,
