BODY HACKED TO u
Boston Police Find Remains III Ac.
tress i'm Trunk.

IL
The most brutal crime committed in
san Geary, a chorus girl, four years
ago, and one much resembling it in its
details, was disclosed Thursday night
by the discovery Of the torso of Mrs.
Honorah Jordan, an actress, aged 20
years, of Somerville, in a trunk in a
boarding house at No. Hancock
street, on Beacon hill, Boston, Mass.
Later the cad and bones of the limbs
were found in the furnace of the Jor-
dan home at Somerville and the scalp,
hair and other remains were k
from the kitchen range of the house.
Chester Jordan, aged 20 years, an
actor Of Someryille, Is held by the
police charged with the murder, and
Thursday night, according to the Of
ficers, he made a complete confession
of the crime.
According to Jordan's confession he
accidentally killed his wife Thursday
in a quarrel at their home and be-
coming desperate over what he had
done he went out and bought a butch
er's knife and hack saw, cut up the
body and placed the torso in a trunk.
He then planned to take the steamer
Harvard for New York and throw the
parts of the body overheard, The fact
that the Hartford was laid off, owing
to an accident, disarranged his plans
n he was obliged to hire a hack
man to take the trunk to a Boston
boarding house to await a more favor
able opportunity.
The discovery of the crime was due
to the suspicious of the hackman, Jas.
Collins, who had in mind the numer-
GUS robberies which ave taken place
about Boston recently and, surmising
from its weight that the trunk con-
tanned silverware, notified the police.
Collins reported that he had taken
the trunk from the north station
train, 1t having come in from Somer-
Vile on a local train.

U~NNERVED BY TRAGEDY.
Dreaming of Accident, Youth Leaps
ThrOugh Window in Sleep.

NJ. J. Cox. a young man who resides
| with his parents on a farm in Miner
county, has been peculiarly affected
by Witnessing the blowing up of the
boiler of a thresher engine on the Cox
place recently, Jesse Edmond. in
charge of the outfit, having been killed
by the explosion.
A night or two ago young o
dreamed of the explosion. his dream
being of a very vivid character. In
the dream he again saw the boiler eX-
| plode and in the dream could see the
/ bursting boiler making directly for
him. In his fright he jumped out of
bed and ran to a window, out of which
he threw himself, not awakening until
he struck the ground. fourteen feet
below.
The force OF tho fall broke n of
his arms. In addition his face was
badly cut, and he was otherwise IN
jured by his wild jump. A physician
was summoned as speedily as possible,
who cared for the Fi"juries of the
young man. A-r
Since Witnessing the killing of Ell
mond he has had great diflculty IN
| sleeping, his nerves having been badly
affected by the horrible experience or
seeing an acquaintance torn to pieces
directly before his eyes. With rest and
quiet it is believed he will in time re-
cover from the experience.

Spanish Veterans Favor

The drawing Of the color line in the
organization Of the United Spanish
War Veterans at Boston, Mass, was
the most conspicuous of the conven-
ton proceedings. This action was
brought about through a resolution
declaring the Charles M. Thomas camp
of Washington, d. c.. "~unattached."
Commander in Chief Hale left his
chair at the convention Wednesday
night to defend the resolution and he
was vigorously opposed by members
Of the colored camp from the floor.
The commander in chief explained
that it was the policy of the national
body to have all colored camps un-
attached until such time as the col
bred camps could become a depart
ment for themselves. He acknowl-
edged that the charter for the partic-
ular camp placed the camp on the
same footing as white camps In the
department OF the District of Column
bia. but explained that the charter had
been granted by mistake.
