There is good deal of doubt about
the validity of the juvenile court law,
and if tested in the courts, it might be
declared unconstitutional. The law does
not specifically recognize the juvenile
court as q court of record, but it does
provide for keeping certain records. The
judge is not given authority to admin
lister oaths, nor Is his court provided
with a seal. In various ways the or
ganization of the court is somewhat ir-
regular.

RIPPED AND SLASHEO.
Woman Found Murdered and Mutt
lated In Furnished Room.

New York. Aug 2s.-A woman
known as Mrs Annie Moore, aged SO
years, was found murdered early to-
day in a furnished room at Eighty
second street. She had been horribly
ripped and slashed. One cash had
severed the jugular vein in the left side
of the throat another had almost sew
cred the windpiDe. the breast was bad
iy siashed and a deep knife thrust had
ripped open the body, disem mboweIing
it. James Moore, who had posed as
the woman's husband, was held by the
police on suspicion.
The horrible wounds found on the
Woman's body recalled at once to the
minds of the officers and doctors who
were called the Jack the Ripper"
murders some years ago. A hurried
investigation by the police showed no
signs of struggle and they concluded
that the woman had been attacked IN
her sleep. On a pillow which lay
across her face was the imprint of a
bloody hand. The victims hands we're
clean so that the police believe the
mark must have been left by the muir
derer. Moore maintains that ne IS in
nocent. He told the police that he left
the house at o'clock last night and
went to a Bowery saloon where he re-
mained until 1 o'clock this morning.
Police inquiries at the saloon develop
ed the information that Moore had
been there until just before 10 O'Clock,
when he left. I1odgers in the house
told the police that Moore returned
about 10 O'Clock and that he did not
go out again afterwards. The murder
ed woman before her marriage to the
nrisonerfs brother was Annie Fitch
After her husbands death she went
rapidly down the scale of life. Moore
the prisoner is in an advanced state OF
CONSUMPTION. He has a wife and two
children living hardly stones throw
from the scene of the crime.
Three life insurance policies were
found in the room. They were issued
by the Prudential company on May l.
1906 One of them for $275s was on
the life of the woman and made pay
able to the prisoner. The others were
on the life of Moore, made payable to
the woman.
