DISC COVERlES OF AN EXPERT
Finds That Women Were Killed
and Carboiic Acid Poured in
Their Mouths to Hide
Grimes.

New York, Sept. l2.-According TO .
statement published today by the
American, an expert crimiaologist has
made startling discoveries connected
with the finding in April last near
Rempstead, L. l.. OF body which was
a supposed suicide, buried by the au-
thorities under the name OF Martha
Laimbeer. It is stated by the American
that the expert made discoveries
which satisfied him the woman was
murdered with blow on the forehead
by her husband while the two Were
quarreling in carriage; that, aided.
by friend he took her body. TO the
spot where it was found, more thaa
10 miles distant, ard after arranging
her clothing in a theatrical manner,
poured carholic acid into the mou !
and thus hoped to create the impression
that she had committed suicide.
The criminologist also declares that
the murderer killed in q similar man-
ner another woman in Chester. Pa,
with all the accessories used in the
first murder, the second woman having
been rs sweetheart. to whom he is
believed to have confded the story Of
the first murder.

the Electromotion company give every
promise OF creating q revolution In the
automobile world. ta wv
Like all the firms which are inter
ested in the construction Of electric
carriages, the Socete ElectromOtion
has up to the present employed for the
transmission OF power to the wheels
motors Of high speed, with 800 to l,00O
revolutions a minute, these acting with
the intermediary Of chains and pinions
or pinions and gearing. This method
has been adopted up till now in order
to avoid the weight Of the electric
motors. The drawbacks to this sys.
TEN are as follows: The pinions, chains
and gearing absorb no small amount
Of force, this loss beginning at 25 per
cent and increasing with wear. The
battery also progressively weakens.
Then the gearing, pinions or chains
have to be changed periodically, caus-
ing expense ind the laying upsof the
carriage for repairs.
The EIectromotion company's new
method of Transmission has been tried
