night, according to the officers, made
a complete confession of the crime.
According to the confession he acct

during a quarrel at their home, and
becoming desperate over what he had
done he went out and bought a butch

Harvard was laid off owing to an ac-
cident disarranged his plans and
obliged him to employ hackman to
take the trunk to a Boston boarding
house and await more favorable
opportunity. The discovery was due
to the suspicious of the hackman,

weight of the trunk that 1t contained
silverware and notified the police.

waited his return and this evening he

cited. but reluctantly opened the
trunk. the key turning showed the
hacked head. Jordan fell on his
knees. burying his face in his hands
