Finding OF Half Chnrrcd Body Reveals
Atrocious Crime Near Brooklyn.
4 NEW YORK, July 2o.--1n the finding
OF the half-charred body OF young
woman early to-day In an isolated sec
Btion Of williamsburg. Brooklyn. one
OF the most atrocious and cunningly
planned murders that has been given
to the. police to solve in many years
was revealed. Death was caused by
a cut across the throat, and then In an
sendeavor to utterly destroy all evil
dences OF the crime the murdered
slipped the body II, an oil-soaked mat
tress, poured oil over the victims
clothing and set fire to the bundle. A
powerful acid had previously been
poured over the face to obliterate the
cation impossible.
Although two arrests have been made
the police do not believe they have in
custody any one who can shed any
light on the mystery. The prisoners
are James Ruddick, an old man who
lived In stable not far away from
where the body was found, and his
son, Joseph, peddler. who discovered
the body.
It was James Ruddick who notified
the police of the finding OF the body.

citing suspicion, and his arrest fol-
lowed.
The body was found IN a vacant
lot. The nearest buildings are stables,
and there Is a dismal stretch Of a. quar-;
ter OF q mile between them and the
spot where the body was found It
was Impossible at first to tell whether
the charred body was that OF a woman
or man. The sex was disclosed at the
coroners autopsy. scapular was
found on the murdered woman's breast,
and this Is about the only clue the
police have. With this slight clue the
police hope to discover the identity OF
tho victim.
A woman has been found who says
she heard wagon drive to the spot
where the body was found about 3:3O
o'clock this morning. A few minutes
later she heard the wagon. being driven
rapidly away.
The murdered woman was apparently
a woman Of gentle breeding She was
about thirty years OF age. and had been
a mother.

Three men dead and q score

u is the record OF an attempt to-
b night by a mob to storm the
county jail and take. out the negro,
Leander Shaw. who to-day assaulted
Mrs. Lillian Davis near here. Ssssss-sa
i The mob numbered probably 1000 per =

was no apparent indication that the
crowd. which completely surrounded
the jail. contemplated making a rush
until nearly two hours later. ssS
The first indication was when q.
railroad iron was brought into play
by about dozen men upon the iron
gate OF the jail yard. At the same mo-
nlent the entire mob seemed to catch
the spirit. and with ye11s and curses
dashed for the Jail entrance. Some
climbed over the tall iron fence, while
others hammered upon the gate.
Pleading In Vain.
The sheriff. with half dozen dep>
uties, stood In windows upstairs with
drawn rcvo1vers and riot rifles. Tho

BALTIMORE. Md. July 30 Oficials
of the Atlantic Coast Line are prepar-

which will soon be submitted to the
car-building companies for proposals.
AS these companies are not at present
overcrowded with work. 1t Is thought
that any one OF them which may obs
tain the contract can start Immediate
~ on the construction OF the equip
ment.
This large order will indicate that
the Coast Line management has con-
fidence In the early revival and ex-
pansion OF Southern trade, and is pre-
pairing to meet the increased traffic
when offered. It is taken as a healthy
sign of returning prosperity when
cautious railroad experts are willing
to assume new obligations In providing
rolling stock. In dull times such rail-
road men hesitate to spend money or
incur debts over freight cars or motive
power which might remain as dead
asset for want OF sufficient traffic.

and his associates are about to enter
upon a friendly arrangement with Mr..
Gould, harmonizing the relations be-
tween Gould and Hartman interests.
One OF the Immediate results OF this

pected to be the financing df the 3d.
100000 OF notes Of the Wheeling and
Lake Erie Railroad Company, which
fall due next Saturday. and which
are guaranteed by the Wabash Rail-
road. Both OF these roads are Gould
properties. Blair & Co. have financed

have been associated with Mr.. Harri-

ings. It was stated late to-day that
the Wheeling and Lake Erie situation
would be settled in a satisfactory man
ner. It Is expected that formal state
ment will be made public by Mr.. Gould
Tomorrow.
In Wall Street the belief, prevails
that Hartman Is likely to- figure
prominently In any financial support
which may be given to the Gould prop
critics. 1t Is believed he will accept
a place on the Wheeling and Lake Erie
directorate. and this will be followed
by an alliance. or at least "a work

discuss any phase OF the. situation to-
