day.

that Captain Charles A. Simmons, of

clared Illegal and the convention be-
came uproarious, but upon the state
ments of both candidates that neither
wished to profit by any complication
and only wanted fair treatment, the
convention subsided.
A second ballot was taken which re-
suited in the election Of Captain New
ton. who received 1872 votes to 173 for
Captain Simmons. Among the other
officers elected were: Senior vice.

theaters. remaining three months
About three years ago they returned to
Somerville and took flat in the house
at 5O9-A Medford street Mrs. Jordan
according to her husband. had taken
to drinking of late and he claims was
assoclating with other men and he be-
came jealous. 1t was in a Jealous
quarrel that the trouble started which
ended in the death of the wife.
Jordan declares that his wife struck
him first; that he then knocked his
wife down stairs and was Mortified to
find that he had killed her. This
happened at 1880 o'clock Tuesday
night. Fearing discovery he con
ceived the idea of cutting the body up,
taking it away on one of the steamers
and throwing the parts overheard and
then reporting to the police that his
wife had left him.
Jordan. according to his confession,
went out and bought a heavy butcher
cutting up knife. With this and "A
razor and shears he severed the head
from the body, and, after putting the
scalp and hair in the kitchen range,
placed the skull in the furnace in the
cellar The legs and arms We're cut
from the body and the flesh sliced off
in strips, leaving the bones of the
limbs practically bare. The bones
were placed in the furnace and the
chunks of flesh piled into the trunk
with the torso The trunk was taken
to the Somervlle station and shipped
to Boston some time Wednesday
Jordan came to Boston and en-
deavored to secure passage for New
York on the Harvard, but learned that
the steamer was not running that day.
The body remained at the North sta
tion over night therefore.
Early today Jordan engaged Hack
man Collins to take the trunk to the
South station, where Jordan intended
to board New York train. He
changed his mind, however, and pur-
chasing a ticket on the Cunard
steamer Ivernia, which was to sail to-
morrow for Liverpool. again called the
same hackman and had him take the
trunk to the Hancock street house.
Jordan then went off and bought a
roll of wire, wire nippers and eight
window weights, which he described
as "sinkers." and several sheets of
heavy wrapping paper. With these he
stated he intended to wrap UP the
parts of the body of his wife, weight
them with the window irons and
throw them into the Charles river
The weights, paper and wire were
found in the room with the trunk.
Jordan declared to the police that
after knocking his wife down stairs
and finding that she was dead, he
placed the body in the kitchen and
went to bed and to sleep. When he
awoke in the morning he cooked his
own breakfast in the kitchen, eating 1t
in the presence of the body of his
wife In the afternoon Jordan said
he dismembered the body.
