FOUL CRIME IN Connecticut
YOUNG WOMAN MURDERED AND
HORRIBLY MUTILATED..
Indications That the Crime Was Com
mitted By a Surgeon to Destroy
Evidence of Criminal Operation

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
today. The upper half Of the BODY,
with the arms attached, was in one
package, while the lower part of the
body was in a second package. The
upper half of the body was wrapped IN
what appears to be half of a black rub
Der carriage blanket. There were two
eyelet holes in it. The abdominal part
of the trunk was Swathed in White
rubber sheet, such as is USED IN sur
gical operating rooms. The latter cir
cumstance, together with the plain evil
dence that the body was severed, like
the legs and the head, by using keen
knife and a perfect-edged saw, leads
the police to the conclusion that the
mutilation, and presumably the muir
der, was done by a surgeon.
The upper half of the trunk is in
tact. The stomach, liver and other or
gans 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 organ.
This suggests that the young woman
was the victim of criminal opera
ton at the hands of a physician, who
brought his skill into play in an effort
to destroy the evidence of the crime,
as well as to destroy the body of the
victim of his malpractice.
The first discovery in this tragedy
was made yesterday, when two boys
found bundle in the Yellow Mill river
that contained the legs of a woman.
They were wrapped IN cloth and d
white rubber 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
25 years of age. 1t was wrapped in a
piece of mans underwear and rubber.
1t was tied with a coarse string. A
piece of muslin in the woman's mouth
indicates that she was gagged with it,
or perhaps smothered.
The woman may have been poisoned,
say physicians who have noted the
| color of her eyes.

Colonel Cranes immInes are in camp

This has had a fatal effect. There are

washington, Sept. 13.-The difficulty
which is being experienced in the con-
structiou of the proposed commission
for the investigation of the conduct OF
the staff branches of the army during
the war with Spain has excited some
discussion in military circles as to the
possibility Of the practical failure or
any investigation by a commission 1t
develops that there is decided dlsap-
proval among army officers OF the
prouosition to have the conduct OF the
war Investigated by a civil commission,
which cannot be clothed with any 1u-
dicial authority The objection is not
on account of any prejudice against
civil authorities interfering in military
matters, but is due to the fact tnat
testimony before a commission not pos
sessing judicial authority would pc IN
a manner voluntary, and would 1t Is

selves in the attitude of being volun-

They say it will be impossible for a

president to be members of the COM

SICK OF ARMY SERVICE.
Many More Volunteers Want to Be
Mustered Out.

Washington, Sept. 1S.-Tremendous
pressure is still being brought to bear
on the war department to have more
troops mustered out of the service. Eff
forts in this direction, however, are of
no avail. 1t is announced today with
much emphasis that there VIII be no
more troops mustered out. The situa-
ton does not admit of any further re-
duction in the army, and efforts are
being made to put those volunteers Who
are retained in the service as near as
possible to the footing of the regulars
in the matter of drill and discipline.
An effort is being made to eradicate
the amateurish idea of Independence
among the troops and to bring them
down to the strictest discipline. The
purpose at the outset, when the mus
ter-out began was % muster out 100000
volunteers. A little over $4,000 have
already been mustered out, and it is
announced positively that there will be
no more mustered out, no matter what
influence is brought to bear. The re-
tention of the volunteers now in the
service, and the efforts to improve the
morale of the army has in view the
Philippine situation more than that of
Cuba or Porto Rico. though there is a
great deal of vagueness as to the dan
ger apprehended there.

SKATERS REPORT.
Important Document Covering the
Entire Santiago Campaign.

Washington, Sept. 1S.-General Shat
ter today submitted to the war depart
ment his report on the Santiago cam
paign, covering not only the battle of
Santiago, but the entire progress of the
military invasion of Cuba. The general,
ACCOMPANIED by his aide, Captain
Aiiley, came to the department during
the morning and in person handed the
report TO Adjutant General Corbin. He
also brought with him two Cuban
machetes, to be presented to Mrs. Alger
as mementos of the campaign.
The report is voluminous document,
with the supplements of the subordi-
nate officers. and covers about 200 type
written pages. Submitting the report,
General Shafter conferred some time
with Acting Secretary Miekeljohn and
General Corbin. It was stated after
wards that the report would not be
made public for the present, the desire
being to place it first in the hands of
the president and secretary and allow
sufficient time for mature consideration
of its contents. After that there is lit
tie doubt the material portions, and
perhaps the entire report, will be made
public. II repeats the story pretty well
known, although there is much interest
in the view which the commanding
general takes Of several features Of the
campaign.

BURROUGHS FOR JEWS
Will Be Permitted to Participate In
Jewish Holidays.

New York, Sept. 13.-Adjutant Cen
eral Corbin has issued orders that 300
Jewish volunteers who had either join
ed volunteer regiments, or had been
fighting at the front during the late
war should receive Burroughs to enable
them to participate in the celebrations
of the Orthodox Congregational Union
of America. The Orthodox Jews Con-
gregational Union through its presi-
dent and secretary, in a letter to Adj
jutant General Corbin, called his at
tention to the fact that the approach
ing Jewish holidays, of especial reli-
gious significance to all devout Jews,
would find many of their co-religion-
lists in the army, unable to attend re-
ligious services and observe the solemn
days, and requested him to grant a
leave of absence to all Jewish soldiers
now in camp in this country during
that time.
