BLOOD COVERED
FLATIRON FOUND
Weapon Used to Kill Boston
Actress


Boston, Mass, Sept. 5.-Belief ex-
pressed BY thesmedical examiners aft
er their autopsy on the dismembered
body OF Mrs Honorah Jordan yester-
day. that she was struck upon the
head with some blunt instrument be-
fore being cut by her husband, Ches-
ter s. Jordan. has been apparently
corroborated with the finding in a
closet Of their home in somerville. a
fat iIon, which was covered with
blood and to which chung quantity OF
hair.
The finding of the blood covered Nat
iron tends to discredit a portion OF
the confession OF Jordan. who stated
that the only blows he dealt his wife
after her taunt were with his fist
and following which he remembers
nothing. This discrepancy has led the
police to believe that other portions
Of his story may be equally wrong.

and Alexander Stirlith, who has the

On top Of the question of available

Tri-State salary limit and the increase
in the percentage to be paid to the

hamper rather than help the clubs. For

limit from $1,000 to s23OO will mean
that a club will save $4,000 in a season.
