evening the attention Of DIR. Don ID.
Grout, superintendent OF the state hos
pital for the insane, was called to the
condition OF a patient admitted last Sat
urday, the patient appearing to be suf-
fering from some injury. An investiga-
tion was begun that evening and COM

J. Dennis, of Parishville, N. Y, and B.
ID. Coan, of Milton, went into the super
visor's Office threw down their keys, and
left the hospital although ordered by
the supervisor not to do so.

&c. G. Graves to watch the departure of
the trains and apprehend the attendants
if they attempted to leave town. Within
fifteen minutes they appeared at the
station where they were arrested. Com
plant was made to Grand Juror l.. G.
Moody and the attendants were arraigns
led before Justice of the Peace G. II.
Vale. After a hearing they were bound
over under $500 bonds each for appear
|ance at the next term of Washington

ed to show that the attendants had

THE CABMAN
HAS IDENTIFIED
BOTH THE MEN

required--to remove the remains to some
spot where they would not be discovered
for some time.
sHow much is there in it," Howard
sass he asked.
.0ne hundred dollars" answered Craw-
ford, and Immediately Howard says they
closed the deal. They made an ap-
pointment to meet at the lying-in hos
pital on the following morning, and
when Howard put in an appearance he
had to wait for more than fifteen min
utes before his rappings on the door
brought any response.
When Howard entered the reception
room in the hospital Crawford told him
to wait for a few minutes while he
prepared to make arrangements for the
removal Of the remains. He kept How
ard there all that day, and when night
came the two made ready to start.
Throwing Away the Remains.
Crawford handed Howard small
hand satchel, the latter SAYS, while
Crawford himself carried dress suit
case. Howard was told what was in
the satchel but was assured that no
suspicion would be attracted. Then they
started for the East Boston ferry at
the foot of State street.
When they boarded the ferry boat,
however, no favorable opportunity pre-
sented itself for them TO throw the
satchel and the suit case overheard. On
reaching East Boston they went ashore
and boarded a trolley, riding as far as
Orient Heights and return. Upon reach
ing the ferry house there were few per-
sons in the vicinity, and while the craft
was well out in the stream, Crawford
said; LET her go,' 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 thought the Job
done, but Crawford then told him that
there was another portion OF the body
vet to be disposed Of, and straightway
they went to the fremont street hospi-
tai and got another suit case, one much
heavier than that carried by Crawford
on the first trip. They boarded the
Chelsea ferry boat and when nobody
was looking threw the suit case into
the river. Before they parted Howard
got $50, he says, Crawford telling him
he would pay the other $40 the next
day.
Howard says he got $40 then, Craw-
ford saying that they had not taken in
much at the hospital.
Howard Became Alarmed
Two days later Howard was startled
when he heard newsboys calling out
about the gruesome find of dismem-
bered body in q dress suit cases, and
Immediately he went to the hospital and
told Crawford that he was scared and
wanted 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 accompany him
to New York. So the following morn
ing, September %, they boarded a train
and came to this city.
Shortly afterward the police here re
ceived message from the Boston au-
thorities asking them to look out fol-
Crawford, who it was believed could
throw some light on the mystery. II
was by constantly watching the New
York theatrical agencies that the two
men now in custody were located.
