NEW YORK. Feb. 1s.-Assistant District
Attorney Krotel said to-day the insurance
fraud cases now under investigation in this
city promised to develop into one of the
most startling ever known in the criminal
history of the city. Before the district at
torney's Office has finished it's investigation
Of the astounding and extraordinary New
York insurance frauds he said, 'I should
not be surprised If it were proved that the
conspirators even went so far as to murder
in cold blood to get bodies for the purpose
of collecting policies. We have found that
twenty-three substitute bodies were passed
off on the Hancock Insurance Company

Weber was tortured I'm order to compel her
to aid in the insurance frauds. When the
girl left home she had rosy cheeks and was

WITHOUT USE OF WIRE
MESSAGES TO BE SHOT THROUGH

Powerful Dynamos VIII Force Elec-
tric Waves from the Pacific Coast
to Hawaii, 5000 Miles.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 1S-wireless
messages to the Hawaiian islands are to
be sent from the Pacific coast, according
to A. l.. New, manager Of the Pacific Wire
less Telephone and Telegraph Company.
1--WE have the machinery under way" de-
clared Mr. New, who has been in Southern
California for several months, and is now
searching for a proper station from which
to send wireless messages to Hawaii. 1t
now remains to be decided only whether
Seattle or San Francisco shall be the
terminus. That point will be decided be-
fore many days. Experts have agreed
that the sending of messages great dis
tance by wireless systems is merely a
matter of power. We have, therefore con-
structed powerful dynamos which will be
adequate to send messages distance of
5000 miles. The work of completing the
systems will not require more than a month
more. After that some time will be re-
quired to perfect the plant and system. An
intercontinental system Is no more difficult
of construction than two shore stations,
and the last of our outfit is already built.
We have sent messages distance OF 1,150
miles with the apparatus which we own
and control"
Mr.. New does not say whether Marconi

phone and Telegraph Company or whether
the Marconi system, so-called, is to be
used in dispatching messages TO Honolulu.

Coroner and Physicians Made Thor
 ough Examination-Bot Men Met
 Death From Same Caliber Revolver,
 Thirty-Eight Size.
 The scene at Moriarty's morgue this morning was heartrending. Friends of both murdered men focked in and Wept beside their piers and kept com- ing until the place could not accom- modate all who wanted to crowd in. Acting Medical Examiner Graves in- structed MT Moriarty not to touch the men until the arrival of the coroner and on this account the bodies were assassins' dark deeds upon them. The man killed on Jackson street did not bleed much, as a matter of fact no blood spots were noticeable upon that portion of him that was exposed, but the face of Officer Mendelssohn was smeared with congealed blood and pre- scented a picture which few would care to look upon.
 Deputy Coroner Pond, Acting Medi- cal Examiner Graves, Dr Moriarty, Dr Crane and Dr Goodrich held an au- topsy on the bodies of Ciminera and Officer Mendelssohn this afternoon and found a 3S caliber bullet in each man. Tn the case of Ciminera the bullet en- tered at the left shoulder and then took a downward course, piercing the lung and seyering blood vessel lead ing to the heart. It lodged between the skin and flesh near the victim s spine. The bullet is the size carried by the revolver found by Constable Carmody in his carriage, which was in Loucks' stable where the supposed slayer of Ciminera was arrested. The bullet that killed the officer entered the flesh a little lower down than in the case of the Jackson street man. but took similar course and inflicted injuries practically the same as the other. It was 3S caliber. The bull. lets found in the car after the shoot ing were but 32 caliber. After the autopsy Deputy Coroner Pond held an examination at the police station where the two men who were on the car and others were heard. The hear ing was on at press hour.
