gave chase The gray car, however.
gradually kept out Of sight of the
pursuing policemen, and they gave up
the chase.
AS the gray car was about to cross
the Coney Island creek bridge a
smaller car came out of the darkness.
There was a crash and a chorus OF
screams, and then a female voice
cried loudly for help. Alexander

Mayor Shocked
BY Death of the
Chief of Police

Mayor Jacob Haussling was
deeply shocked by the sudden
death of Chief of Police Michael
Corbitt. As he rode in a carriage
down the line of march he called
several police officers to his car
riage and got verifcation of the
statement that the chief was dead.
When he reached the reviewing
stand he said, 1T seems inpos-
sible to believe that the chief Is
dead. I saw him only a few min
'1ttes ago, II seems. as he came up
Broad street with the police. and
now he is dead. I can only say
that in his death I feel a personal
loss. while I know the city has
suffered one.
1T is deplorable that Chief Cor
bitt should be taken from life at
what was to have been his last
parade in an Official capacity. and
it is doubly deplorable that the
parade happened TO be one of
body of men that Chief Corbitt
not only belonged to, but took a
deep personal interest In"

KILL YOUNG WIFE
FOR CASH MEANT

Newark WOman's Body Found
in Lonely Spot in Bloom
fieId-NO Clues.

Her throat slashed from ear to ear,
Mrs. Alviro Cerciello, the pretty 20
year-old bride of Angelo Cerciello,
confect;oner, of 409 Chester avenue,
was found murdered today on the
newly developed property of the
Bloomfield Homes Company, in
Bloomfield.
She had made terrific struggle
for her life. Her blue serge suit was
cut in ribbons and the palms of
her hands had been cut almost
through by the keen blade of the
murderer's knife.
Her husband. who had married her
only four months ago. tainted twice
when ne was taken by detectives to
the scene of the crime.
Chief Weimer, of the prosecutors
office, believes that she was lured to
the lonely spot and killed for the
money she carried, a sum of $175
or $500 with which she left her home
last night at 3 o'clock to purchase
a supply of ice cream for Memorial
Day.
Found by Negro.
Daniel Robinson, negro, who was
taking a shortcut from his home, in
the Silver Lake section of Belleville.
through the new property to East
Orange. found the body
His attention was attracted by a
herd of seventy-five goats grazing in
queer semi-circle around what
looked in the distance like a dis
carded dress. He found the woman
lying face downwards. but her head
WAS bent backwards so that it ap-
peared almost severed.
The body was near Beardsley ave-
nue., about 100 yards from Grove
street, and three city blocks from
Bloomfield avenue.
Robinson continued to the yards of
the Willard Lawless Lumber Com
McLeane Potts, another negro, about
what he had seen. Potts telephoned
to Chief of Police Collins. of Bloom
field.
Detectives Soon on Job.
Chief Weimer. Detective Sergeant
Godfrey and Court Interpreter Joseph
Federico were soon on the scene The

He said that she had gone out at 8
O'clock last night to buy Ice cream.
When she had not returned at mid
i,issnt 10 called up the Bloomfield po-|
lice. He did this. SO he said, because
she was going to Bloomfield for the
cream. Their store is near the Bloom
field line.
How she was lured so far out of
her path is a mystery that neither
Chief Collins nor the county detec
tives have been able to fathom.
All that was found near the body
was bracelet. picked up by James
Sarto, a Newark boy. and handker-
chief worked in a peculiar red stitch.
The weapon with which she was
killed could not be found. Godfrey's
opinion was that it must have been
hatchet, but Chief Weimer thought
that it was very sharp butchers
