veaIs Atr0cious and Cunning.

Woman's Throat Was Cut and Body
Wrapped in Oil Soaked Mat
tress and Fired.

New York, July 31-In the finding
of the half charred body of young
woman early yesterday morning in
an isolated section 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 cut across the throat,
and then in an endeavor to utterly de-
stroy all evidence of the crime the
murderer or murderers wrapped the
body in an oil-soaked mattress. pour
ed oil over the victims clothing and
set fire to the bundle. A powerful acid
had previously been poured over the
face to obliterate the woman's fea-
lures and make identification impos-
sible.
Two Arrests Made.
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 pris-
oners are James Ruddick, an old man
who lived in stable not far away
from where the body was found and
his son Joseph. a peddler, who dis
covered the body.
1t was James Ruddick who notified
the police Of the finding of the body.
He told three different stories, thus
exciting suspicion, and his arrest fol-
lowed First, he said that he discov-
cred the body; next he said that an
unknown man discovered it, and later
he said that the unknown man" was
in reality his son Joseph This last
statement led to the arrest of Jo-
seph
Old Man Was Ratified.
But the police do not attach much
Importance to Ruddicks conflicting
stories He is very old and was la
boring under great excitement. He
will be put through the third degree
today, however.
Ruddick, who was sleeping with his
father in a stable saw the flames
about A o'clock yesterday morning
and ran out to eXtinguish the blaze,
fearing it might spread to the stable
He was Mortified at finding the half
burned corpse tied in the oil-soaked
mattress.

1t was impossible at first; to tell
whether the charred body was that of
woman or man. The sex was dis.

the police hope to discover the identity
of the victim. She was about thirty
years old and had been mother.
