GREWSOME CRIME
AWAKENS BOSTON
Man Hacked Body of Wife,
Then Packed Torso in
Small Trunk.
CLAIMS 1T WAS ACCIDENT.
BOUGHT KNIFE AND SAW TO AID
HIM IN WORK OF BARBARISM-
WAS ACT OF INSANE JEAL-
oUSY.

Boston, Mass, Sept. 4.-The most
brutal crime committed in Greater
Boston since the death of Susan
Geary, a chorus girl, four years ago,
and one much resembling 1t in its de-
tails, was disclosed by the discovery
of the torso of Mrs. Honorah Jordan,
of Somerville, an actress, aged %
years. in a trunk, in boarding house
at Hancock street, Beacon Hill, this
city.
Later the head and bones of the
limbs we're found in the furnace of the
Jordan home at Somerville and the
scalp. hair and other remains were
taken from the kitchen range of the
house.
Chester Jordan, of Somerville, an
actor aged 20 years. is being held by
the police, charged with the murder.
He made a complete confession of the
crime
According to Jordan's confession he
accidentally killed his wife Tuesday
night in a quarrel at their home. Be
coming desperate over what he had
hacksaw, cut the body up and placed
the torso in a trunk He then plan
ned totake the steamer Harvard last
might for New York and throw the
parts of the body overheard.
The fact that the Harvard was laid
off owing to an accident, disarranged
Jordan's plans, and he was obliged to
hire hackman to take the trunk to a
Boston boarding house to await a
more favorable opportunity.
A woman's torso filled the greater
part of the trunk, while pieces OF
flesh from other parts of the body
were stuffed into the corners. The
entire interior of the trunk was be-
spattered with blood. There was nc
covering of any sort over the remains
Jordan submitted to arrest without
protest and was locked up. Giving
his name and address, he declared the
body in the trunk was that of his wife
and said he was perfectly willing to
tell everything concerning the case.
For more than four hours Jordan
was closeted with the police officials
While he professed that he was dazed
when the crime was committed, the
clearness and conciseness of his talk
made it apparent that whatever pre-
ceded the actual killing the most care
full plans were laid for the disposal OF
the body and the covering up of the
crime.

are shown to have assisted by act

brought destruction to thousands of
dollars of property and has brought
the blush of shame to every law-abid-

Boys in the west of England believe
that by squeezing a mole to death be-
tween the hands and touching the af-
fected parts with the blood that oozes
from the mouth of the dying animal
warts will disappear and will not reap
pear. The culprits are convinced that
moles, worms and other subterranean
jewellers have feelings, and there
fore it is not cruelty to put them to
death in this way.
