USED TO
KILL WIFE FOUND
IN JORDAN HOME
indication Husband Lied ia
Telling What Happened Before
Woman Was Cut Up.
RELATIVES WILL TELL
OF HIS IRREGULARITIES
Paused in His Grues0me Work
to Keep a Business Ap-
pOintment.

BOSTON, Sept. 5.-The belief ex-
pressed by the medical examiners after
their autopsy on the dismembered body
of Mrs. Honorah Jordan yesterday
that she was struck upo the head
with some blunt instrument before
being Il up by her husband, Chester
$. Jordan, mas been apparently cor
roborated with the finding in a closet
of their home in Somerville of a fiat
iron which was covered with blood and
to which chung a quantity of hair.
The finding of the blood-covered fat
iron tends to discredit a portion OF the
confession of Jordan, who stated that
the only blows which ne dealt his wife
after her aunt We're by his fist. This
discrepancy has led the police TO be-
lieVe thai other portions of his story
may be equally wrong.
His defense for the murder OF his
wife, whose body he chopped up and
packed in a trunk, will be insanity,
advised by the attorney retained by
his sisters husband, Jesse l.. Liver
more, the millionaire New York cotton
broker.
Mr.. LiVermore and Jordan's sister
were on their yacht the Venetia, OH
the coast of Maine, when they heard
of the murder. Mr.. Livermore at orce
went ashore and wired to Boston,, in
structing Attorney William S. Shorten
to defend Jordan.
Jordan has a number of wealthy
relatives and it is understood that all
of them have sent assurances of fnan-
cial support at his trial. His rela-
tiVes have considered him to be OF a
peculiar disposition for several years
and several have given his attorneys
specific instances which they believe
will prove that he has been insane for
some time.
With Jesse l.. Livermore and his
sister. Livermore's wife, Jordan and
his wife We're very popular. Liver
more had frequently financed Jordan
in undertakings. all of which had been
failures. n had given him a sub
stantial check to start u stationery
and book store a few days before the
tragedy.
One of the most startling things in
Jordan's confession is that while he

stopped to keep an engagement and

DON'T HURRY! YOU
HAVE A WEEK FOR
FILING A PETITION
That Instruction Telling You
Time Would Be Up Monday
Was an Error.

Owing to a mistake made in the book
of instructions TO election officers is
sued by the Secretary of State, many
politicians believed that all petitions,
both county and municipal, had to be
filed today at noon, or not later than
Monday, if the county and city Offices
ere kept open for that purpose.
AS a matter of fact, municipal petit
tons will not have TO be filed before
next Saturday. County petitions had
to be filed today by noon. City Clerk
James r. Connolly said he would keep
his Office open next Saturday until mid
night, as an act of courtesy TO all who
desire to be candidates. Under the
law, the city clerk would be justified in
closing at noon next Saturday, but he
win give the candidates the privilege
of twelve hours additional.
The Law states hat petitions for
county offices must be filed fifteen days
before the primaries. That would give
until Monday next. Under a previous
law, Monday will be Labor Day and a
legal holiday. Saturday is a haif-holl-
day and Sunday a holiday. County
Clerk Woolston is insisting on closing
his Offices on those days, so county
candidates had to get their petitions in
by noon today.
In the book of instructions, it is
stated that municipal petitions must be
in the municipal clerks office thirteen
days before the primaries. but the law
says ten days before. thus allowing un-
til next Saturday for candidates fol
mayor, board of works. freeholder, al
German. justice and constable.
The same date applies to all other
municipalities in the State.

of Roberts and Mrs. Williams that it
was a masked man who fired the shots,
and NOW declares. according to the new
masked man; hat Roberts was in the
roller chair when the first she was
fired; hat on the second shot Roberts
stepped out of the chair with blood on
his hand, and hal the third sho was
fired while Roberts was standing up.
Jackson declares, in this new state
ment, that Immediately after the shoot
ing Roberts told him to say hat it was
a highwayman who shot him.
There is confirmation of the negro's
story concerning Roberts's hand. 1t
was not known until now hat his hand
was hurt, but the surgeons say that it
was powder burned, which would indi-
cate hat he had hold of the barrel of
the gun when the shot was fired.
Neither was it Known until today
that the second bullet had hit Roberts
in the side and had been DETECTED by
letters and a leather wallet in his
pocket.
Banker Roberts will recover from his
wound. The tenth day test for peri

is a good Democrat. mo, | am not
ANYTHING but n real Democrat he
said. 'and If ] am defeated at the prl-

candidate"
Following is the statement in part
issued by Mr.. Osborne;
II have been encouraged by a num-
her Of friends TO offer myself for the
Democratic nomination for senator
from Essex county. The pledge of the
Democratic County Committe ia at
TEMPT no interference in the matter OF
nominations is an assurance OF falt
play to all candidates before the pgima-
ries and a striking contrast 10 the at
tempted dictation of the Republican
County Committee in this regard.
IL am "a firm believer in the doctrine
of home rule for municipalities on ali
local questions, particularly the excise
problem. The great city of Newark,
for example, is far more competent TO
fix it's own regulations for its W
drinking places, Including the hours
when the latter snail be open, than
State legislatures dominated by MEM
bers from rural constituencies. On the
other hand the borough of Glen Ridge
should not have to depend upon a coun-
ty court to exclude thinking places
which it deems undesirable from with
In its borders. If the opportunity af-
lords, / shall Introduce n press Il
bill to grant absolute home rule to all
municipalities.
II am in favor of a, law placing all
the public service corporations of the
State under the control of a commits
sion which shall be clothed with full
power to regulate rates whenever
necessary.
Amended Civil Service.
Il am in favor of the restoration of
spring elections in this State, so that
the divorce Of local questions from ma
tional or State questions shall be as alb
solute as may be.
II am in favor of the principle of
civil service. but | insist that he pres
ent law should be amended so that its
enforcement may be lodged in the
municipalities themselves md not IN
a commission which may at any time
become part OF a selfish and corrupt
Fat machine.
II am in favor of a complete re-
vision of the Constitution of the state,
and IL chosen as the Senator from this
county shall do all in my power to
bring about the holding of a constitu-
tional convention.
II am in favor of a law which shall
equitably establish the liability Of EN-
ployers to employees who shall be in
jured in the course of duty.
IF l should be elected to the State
Senate I would vote for the candidate
for United States Senator who should
receive the highest vote at the pri-
