and his ankles passing In front OF an
other which held his feet from slipping
of, The fall so dazed him that he made
no effort 10 catch hold of other wires
which would have completed circuit
and probably electrocuted him. Pre-
cedng the arrival OF the department an
effort was mode to rescue him by means
OF rope but Il was abandoned for
fear that circuit would be completed,
and an alarm Of fire turned In.
AS soon as Chief Bywater arrived he
telephoned the Utah Light & Railway
company TO turn of the current on It's
Main street circuit, and to protect the
man IN case he should fall the life net
was stretched underneath him The
rescue was accomplished Immediately
upon turning OF the current by sending
two men up the ladder and gathering
the lineman IN with a rope.
The incident was witnessed by over
a thousand people, who crowded the
intersection Of the streets, and went
away laughing at the ending OF what
promised to be tragedy MIR. Kay
when he fell, had his pipe In his mouth,
and while he was hanging IN the air
clutched II tightly between HIS teeth.
on arriving at the ground he went back
to his work still putting 1t, and appar-
entity uniniured,
In describing the accident he stated
that he was at work removing the old
telephone wires and In reaching Tor
a loose end OF one he had cut, he slipped
and fell. He remembered the shock Of
striking the wires, but nothing after
that tn he was placed right side up by

ford handed Howard small hand

ford himself carried dress suit case.
Howard was told what was In the
bag and the satchel but>was assured
that no suspician would be attached
to them. Then they started for the
East Boston ferry and on the way
Crawford explained that they would
throw the body into the harbor at
the first opportunity. Crawford told
Howard not to lose his nerve and that
they would accomplish their object
without any trouble.
When they boarded the ferryboat,
however, there were more people go
ing to East Boston than they expected
Howard says. and no favorable oppor.
tunlty presented itself. At East
Boston they went ashore and rode
on a trolley car to Orient Heights
and returned.
Upon reaching the ferry house there
were few people in the vicinity, and
when the craft was well out in the
stream Crawford said: Let her CO."
and Howard dropped the satchel
which contained the head of the dead
girl, while Crawford dropped over
the stern the suit case containing
the limbs.
Howard said he thought the job
was done, but Crawford told him
there was another portion of the body
to be disposed Of, and straightway
they went to the fremont Street
Hospital and got another suit case.
Howard says he took the case and
with Crawford drove to the Chelsea
ferry, where they boarded a boat
and when nobody was looking threw
the suit case into the river. Before
he left Crawford, Howard received
$50 he says. Next day he got $50,
Crawford holding out $40 and saying
they had not taken in much at the
hospital.
Two days later Howard was startled
when he heard newsboys calling out
about the grewsome find of dismem-
bered body in suit case, and imme.
diately went to the hospital and told
| Crawford that he was scared and
| wanted him to leave town. Crawford
gave him some more money, he says,
and told him that he intended to get
out, too, and that he would accom-.
pany him to New York. On Septem.

Shortly afterwards the police of this

look out for Crawford, who it was
believed could throw some light on
the mystery. 1t was by constantly
