TRYING TO SOLVE
THE MYSTERY OF
HEADLESS WOMAN

Providence, Nov. lin the trial of
Henri Deslovers, which was begun in
the superior court here today, the au-
thorities hope to solve the mstery of
the "headless woman" murder which
has remained unsolved for nearly six
months. On June 25 last some work.
men discovered the headless body of
woman tied with rope and weighted
with rocks floating in the Blackstone
river near Woonsocket. Every effort
to find the missing head, without which
positive Identification was almost i'm
possible, proved futile.
Investigation led to the conclusion
that the body was that of Angelo Del
marie, who had, disappeared mysteri-
ously shortly before the nude body was
found floating in the river. As result
of these Investigations the man Des-
lovers, a Franco Belgian yarn spinner
with whom tie Delmarle woman lived,
was taken into custody few days after
the finding of the body. He pleaded not
guilty. but at a hearing on July u
he was held without bail for trial.
1t was the supposition Of the police
that the murder of the woman had
been committed somewhere in Woon-
socket and the dismembered remains
carried to the river and sunk. But the
mystery as to the place of the crime
remains as dark as that relating to the
disposition of the woman's head. So
far as IL known the only tangible evi-
dence connecting Deslovers with the
murder is that he was seen to be walk
ing toward the river with the woman on
the night that she is supposed to have
met her death.
Detectives specially employed by
Governor Pothier to work on the case
recently arrested Mr.. and Mrs. Desire
Capert, who lived in the Deslovers'
home at the time of the disappearance
Of Mrs. Delmarle. Both protest their
innocence. declaring that they know
bsolutely nothing of the circumstances
surrounding the movements of the VIC
tim of the murder before she left her
home

CRAVE CRISIS And

London, Nov. 11.-Europe -
facing one Of the most critical
weeks in her history. 1t may
end in war in which the whole
continent will be involved, or 1t
may be remembered as a week
in which diplomacy succeeded
In solving problems that APP
peared insoluble to many. On
one side Of the Balkan penin-
sula there IL an acute conflict
between the aides of Austria
Hungary and Servia, which. II
It ID not arranged, might start
general European outbreak. On
the other side. King Ferdinand's
Bulgarian army is on the point
Of entering Constantinople and
that will be resented by Russia.
The existing jealousies are so
intense that 1t will take much
pressure to induce either Aus
tria or Servia to recede from
it's demands. Austria, in fact,
takes SO seriously the Advance
Of a Servian force toward the
Port Of Durazzo that she has
dispatched a steamer there to
take off Austrian residents
when the Servian troops arrive.
Russia. also, Is preparing for
eventualities. Beside keeping
her time expired men in the
army she Is mobilizing her
forces. At Sebastopol trans
ports have been prepared to
convey Russian troops across

Tried to Avert Murder,

Indianapolis, Nov. 11.-Conscience SO
overcame Ortie McManigal when he
blew up "job" at Mount Vernon, ILL.,,
on April 10, 1910, that he was on the
verge Of quitting and exposing the Nc
Namara dynamite plots Ave months
before the loss of 21 lives at Los An
geles, Cal.
McManigal, who today continued hts
testimony at the trial Of the IS accused
dynamite plotters,' says In q written
confession, part Of which has been made
public by District Attorney Miller. that
twice while prowling about at night
with bombs under his arm he had to
employ skill in saving the lives of
nightwatchmen. The incidents relative
to the Mount Vernon explosion as given
by McManigal are:
He went to Mount Vernon by way Of
st. Louis, equipped with bombs pro-
vided by John J. Mcnamara. who had
instructed him to blow UP a new steel
structure in Mount Vernon being
erected by non-union men. First regu-
lating the time-piece SO the bomb
would explode at 1880 p. M, McMani-
gal placed 1t where he considered it
would do the most damage. Later he
discovered the bomb was almost di
rectly beneath the night watchman's
shelter and the watchman was on duty.
McManigal walked about on tho op-
posite side Of the post. He observed
the watchman seldom left his post and
must inevitably be blown up unless he
could be got away. Engaging the
watchman in conversation he attempted
to induce him to go to theater. but
1t was Of no use. The watchman re-
garded the invitation with suspicion.
In desperation the dynamiter returned
| to his hotel, prepared smaller bomb
timed to explode at about n:25 o'clock
and sneaking through an alley. placed
the second bomb at q remote part of
the job. The purpose, McManigal says.
was by the remoker bomb, timed to ex-
plode about five minutes before the
other, to detract the watchman from,
his shelter, so he would be at the wreck
of the explosion and out Of danger
when the second occurred.
| During the interval. McManigal paced
| the streets in apprehension lest his
plans should miscarry. but 1t had the
desired effect and on seeing the watch
man walking about after both explo-
sions he took a train for st. Louis.
! While looking in company with J. B.
McNamara for a spot to place bomb
on a Job in South Chicago at night on
Feb. "a. 1911, McMantgal says In his
confession, he and McNamara decided
the only point where a watchman us
4 ually was posted Mcnamara, accord
ing to McManigal. was in favor Of dis
regarding the watchman, saying: II
the watchman Is blown up that will ate
