That Will be the Defence For
Chester S. Jordan
In TRIAL FOR WIFE MURDER
Medical Examiners Are Said to Have
Found Evidence That Mrs. Jordan
Was First Beaten with a
Blunt Intrument.

Boston. Sept. 5.-That insanity will
be the defense OF Chester S. Jordan when
he is tried for the murder OF his wife
Honorah Jordan, is indicated by the
movement in his behalf. His brother
in.law, Jesse l.. Liyermore, the cotton
market operator in New York, has en-
gagged Attorney William >. Scharton, and
th# latter has stated that he already
has evidence Of Jordan's mental derange-
ment several weeks before the murder
The prisoners confession was remark
ably clear in the main, although there
was slip or two.
Evidence throwing new light on the
probable manner in which the woman
was killed has been gained, IL is said
by the medical examiners for Suffolk
and Middlesex counties, who performed
an autopsy on the dismembered body.
Jordan, in his confession TO the police,
said that his wife was killed by being
knocked down stairs at their home in
Somerville, and that he then cut up her
body and placed it in the trunk in which
1t was found Thursday by the police
on Hancock street. While neither Med.
ieal Examiner G. b. McGrath OF Boston
nor Medical Examiner T. Ii. Durrel OF
Somerville will make public their find
ings at present, it was learned that the
examination indicated that Mrs. Jordan
was struck with a blunt instrument,
possibly a fatiron, on the head, causing
fracture of the skull sufficient TO cause
death. Then, it is alleged, she was stran-
gled.
Jordan's story of aphasia following
the blow which knocked Mrs. Jordan
down stairs is also point upon which
the police have laid particular stress in
their instructions to the medical exam
iner during the latters examination 81
Jordan himself. ae Il Was sarpposel thar
he might be victim Of drugs. This
latter idea he denies.

some way uncomfortable. IL started
backward and Prof. llenshaw was unable
TO prevent it from gathering increased
speed as it went its backward course.
by the time South Union street was
reached tremendous momentum had
been gathered and tine machine dashed
against hydrant at the corner OF South
Union and Howard streets.
Prof. Henshaw was thrown violently
under the machine and was extricated
with, some difficulty and taken to the
home OF +. l.. Lane, nearby. 1t was
at once apparent that he had sustained
serious injuries TO his head. DIR. q. NJ
Sahin was called and Prof. Henshaw was
removed to the Van Ness House. DR..
Sabin worked over the injured man for
long time and stated that it could not
yet be determined how serious the in
juries might prove. Mrs. Henshaw and
the son suffered only from minor bruises
and the shock to their nervous systems.

Burlington School Commissioners Adopt
Drastic Measures to Wipe
Them Out

Burlington. Sept. Sat meeting
OF the school board several weeks ago

gate the subject Of high school fratcr.
mites. The action was in sympathy
with that taken in many Of the promi-
nent schools Of the country. In sew.
oral Of the states laws have been pass.
Cd forbidding secret societies in public
schools. The following resolution was
adopted by the commissioners at a
meeting last evening.
Whereas, II Is the opinion Of the
board of school commissioners that
secret organizations composed wholly
Of in part Of students Of the high school
are detrimental TO the best interests
of the school on account Of taking the
time and attention Of The students from
school work and because the influence
Of such organizations seriously impair
the discipline Of the school and,
Whereas, The association Of children
Of that age in an organization in which
there can be no guidRnce or control by
older people Is most undesirable Il not
positively harmful; therefore,
Resolved, That the students Of the
burlington high school be prohibited
from joining any secret organization
composed Of students in the nigh school
and also from participating in any such
organization and any student joining
or participating directly or indirectly
in such organization shall be excluded
from the school.
