: DOCTOR" ADMITS KILLING GIRL

on the charge of numbering Amelie st.
Jean. They both pleaded not guilty
and were held without bonds for 10
days.
Body Found In HIPS Suitcase.
Both Hill and Thibeaut admitted
they knew the girl, but both, though
sweated for hours, absolutely denied
completely In her death. Hill admitted
the girl asked his advice as to an
operation. Admitting that a suitcase
in which parts of the body had been
found had once been his, he stood
firmly by the statement that 1t had
passed out of his possession before the
crime.
Thibeault had an excellent alibi.
Body Cut Up While Victim Lived.
All the portions Of the chopped-up
body, with the exception Of the head,
were found before Oct. Is, and
Medical Examiner stimson, after a
thorough examination, concluded the
person who cut up the body began
the work before the spark Of life had
left the girl.
He said the murder was n OF al
most unparalleled atrocity, as do Drs.
Ecroid and Sherman of Newport, who
assisted at the autopsy. From the con-
dition Of the torso, they declared the
girl was killed by having her throat
cut with one sweep of a knife. Then,
the physicians, say, al ordinary ak
was brought into play and the body
chopped to pieces almost before the
last breath had departed.
