tions Of the body Of the murdered wo-
man, the legs of which were found
in a suit case ia some bushes yesterday
olternoon in an outlying portion Of the
town Posses from here and New Bed
ford VIII drag the ponds in the vicinity
ot the place where the legs We're found f
they are unable TO find anything in the
woods. NO woman has been reported
as missing yet.
According TO the medical examiner, Dr.
John Stmson Of Tiyerton, the supposed
murder was committed not more than
- or Is hours before the suit case asas
discovered That murder was com.
mitted and the cutting not done BIZ a
surgeon or by medical student is The
belief Of the medical examiner, who SAYS
that apparently a common hand saw
was used to sever the legs from the
trunk.
Search for the other portions Of the
body IN the woods near the place where
the suit case was found was continued
all night The spot where the suit ease
was found is near Bliss Four Corners,
IN this town, eight miles from New Bed
ford
The locality was apparently well suit
ed for concealing the evidences Of
crime and, according to people living in
the neighborheod, the body might have
lain there for days undiscovered had
not rural letter carrier, George Pot
ter, chanced to 60 to the spot yesterday
afternoon. Potter was making his rounds.
passing along BulgermaTsh road, when
he turned to explore a little path lead
ing into the bushes Scarcely three
PAGES from the highway he came upon
half Of the suit case, the cover being
missing. Exposed TO his view were three
portions Of human legs partly wrapped
in newspaper.
Later investigation by the medical ex-
aminer showed that the suit case con-
tanned the upper portion Of a right leg
from the thigh to the knee, and the
entire left leg, cut in two at the knee
The foot was about the size for No. 3
shoe. The medical examiner estimated
that the woman Tor girl was probably
five feet three in height and would
weigh perhaps l2o pounds.
A large callous spot on the bottom
of the foot indicated that the girl was
accustomed to much walking or stand
ing and suggested that she may have
been working girl.
There We're no initials on the case and
no mark Of any kind BY which its own
ership could Be traced.

Convicted Murderer Appear

IN HIS FIGHT FOR LIFE
His Case Was Continued To-day Because
His Attorney Was Not Ready for
Argument--convicte Of Kill
ing Della congdon.

Elroy Kent, convicted murderer Of
Della B. Congdon at Wallingford on July
q, 1908, appeared in the Vermont su.
preme court at Montpelier to-day IL his
fight for life the penalty for the crime
being death by hanging. He was con-
victed in Rutland county court and the
legal fight comes to the higher court
on exceptions as to the admission Of
certain testimony during that trial. But
though Kent was ready for hearing, his
attorney, e. IT, 'Brien OF Rutland, was
not, and a continuance was asked for
to-day and granted.
Attorney 0'Brien wanted It to 90 over
| until the November term OF supreme
court, but Chief Judge RoweIl in an
nouncing the decision Of the court to
have the matter heard at this term
stated that continuance Of few days
wonld be granted So, it is probable
that the case will be taken up again
later this week Meanwhile Kent win
be confined in the Washington county
Jail at Montpelier.
When in court to-day, Kent appeared
cool and collected and he seemed TO have
an understanding Of the legal proceed
ings. The question OF his sanity was
nppermost during the trial of his case in
the lower court, since it was charged
/ that he committed the murder when he
was fugitive from the state insane
asylum at Waterbury, he having fed
from that institution on July II, 1908.

circumstantial evidence, some Of which
was the appearance Of the initials Il.

admission of Kent that he was in that
vicinity about the time the woman was
killed
Since his conviction, Kent has been
confined IN Rutland county, sentence not
having been imposed. He was brought
to Montpelier from Rutland last night,
shaekIed to Sheriff E. G. Fish, and ac-
companied BIZ another officer, Deputy
Sheriff A. A. Leonard. He was not
shackled when he went to the court
room to-day.
Kent has had 4 checkered career, hav-

prison to the state insane asylum while
