dies were placed together they found that
all Of the body had been recovered save
the internal organs. OF these there was no
trace.
The body SO horribly reconstructed was
that of a woman slenderly fashioned. The
head, which had been severed directly be-
meath the chin, bore no trace Of violence,
and the features wereswell preserved.
The investigations Of the detectives
brought suspicion upon the head of Dr.
Nancy Guilford midwife In Bridgeport,
for the laundry mark, &c. 81" found on
the clothing which enveloped the severed
head, was proved beyond doubt to be
that used by the Gulford family.
1t was on the clothing of Mrs. Guilford's
husband, DR.. Gill, now serving a term in
the Connecticut state prison for crime
similar to that which was supposed to
have caused the death of the unknown,
and Mrs. Gulford's son Henry added to
the sensational features of the moment by
frankly admitting the identity of the mark.
No effort, however, was made by the po-
lice to arrest the notorious midwife, and
while the next and the most sensational
development Of the Yellow Mill pond mys-
terry was still electrifying Bridgeport, DR..
Guilford quickly slipped out Of town and
disappeared, until she was recognized and
arrested in England.
The first clews had absolutely failed.
After positively Identifying the remains as
those Of various unfortunate young women
who had disappeared within the last twelve
months, and, indeed, having been recog-
nized by her father as those OF Grace Per-
kins, who came home with her wanton
bridegroom in time to stop her own funeral,
the police again had to confess themselves
baffled.
The days passed by, and finally the dis
membered body was buried in Potter's
field, only to be exhumed and identified as
the earthly remains of Miss Emma Gill of
Southington, another beautiful unfortu-
nate. who carried the same sad story as
Grace Perkins to her grave. Funeral SER
vices were held and the remains were
scarcely returned to the grave when they
were exhumed again to give DR.. Rosen-
blum an opportunity to identify the dental
work he had done on Miss Gill's teeth.
Then followed swiftly the first arrests,
when Harry Oxley Miss Gill's lover, and
DR.. Nancy Guilford's son and daughter
were placed in Jail. In few days they
confessed the crime and accused Dr. Gull
ford.

from Turnavick. bringing reports that
seem to show that the explorer will not

shadow an early and severe fall. He
never saw the ice form more rapidly
than about his vessel on the night OF his

for by carrying Ia months provisions.

General distributive business. particu-
