accomplished successfully. The child

Ry our staff correg.l

to the effect that while the law might
not have been held to be constitutional

constitutional in the goth century.

YOUNG MARRIED
SURGEON SOUGHT
In MURDER CASE
Brother Identifies Body Of
Dismembered Girl AS
That of His Sister From
Birth Mark.

New York, Sept. 1S-The young
married surgeon whom Annette Day
loved was sought diligently by detec-
tives, today, to tell what he might
know of Miss Days last hours. Her
brother Francis, real estate dealer
of this city, declared, last night, that
she was the woman whose body was
dissected and thrown into the Hud-
son river within the past two weeks.
He identified a portion of the body
the head, arms and one leg were still
nnissing-as that of his sister. by an
odd shaped discoloration on her back
which he said was a birthmark
Annette Day, according to the
brothers story, was % years old and
had been employed in an underwear
factory. Her mother lives in larry
town and last saw Annette on August
16 when the girl, facing motherhood,
left home. Since then none of the
family had heard from her. When a
fortnight had passed without word
from her, the brother became alarm
ed and began to look for her. The
police were not notified because the
brother felt that the girl might still
be alive and he didn't want to make
her disgrace public. While seeking
his sister he recalled that she had be-
come infatuated with a. young surgeon
not long before. This surgeon had
left the city for the west, taking his
wife with him, the brother said, sew
eral months before Annette disap-
peared.
The brother learned that the sur
geon had returned to Brooklyn, re-
Gently. Day obtained a photograph of
the surgeon and took it to S. H. Hur-
WITT, the 18th avenue druggist who sold
the tar paper which enveloped a por-
ton of the body found in the river.
The picture was in a group of 4e men.
After some hesitation, Hurwitz de-
signated the surgeon as the man to
whom he thought he had sold the tar
paper but was not sure, as he had paid
no attention to his customer.
The brother next visited the Hobo
ken morgue where lay such portions
of the body as had been found, and
talked with the attendants. He did
not view the body on that occasion
but did so later and declared posi-
tives were told, this morning, that the
from his home in Brooklyn. His wife
were still there. He had told his
friends, according to the police, that
he had been threatened by the black
hand.
The ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the murder
ed girl was skillfu1ly done, according
to the declaration of the county physi-
clan of Hudson County, New Jersey,
in those territory the torso was found,
as though it had been done by a man
who was practiced in surgery.

HE EXPECTED THE PRESIDENT

While preparing a room in his home
at 20 Greene street this morning for
the reception of President Wilson and
his family Michael Hammock was
placed under arrest by Patrolman
Hoffman called to the scene by Mrs.
Hammock. The genial host was in
the act of moving the bed into the
cellar which he thought would be
good quarters for the chief executive
of the nation. Taken to LakevieW
home upon the pretext that President
Wilson had promised to meet him
there, he mistook the portly presence
of Supt Merle Cowles for that of
ex-Presfdent Taft. Hammock is as
serted by physicians as being tenn
porarily demented.

CITY COURT
OFFICIALS
CRITICIZED
Alleged Violation of Statutes
Charged In DeVita Case
Lawyers Discuss It

Another scandal in the City court
has caused great discussion among the
legal fraternity since the courts ac-
ton in the case of Joseph DeVita has
been learned. Tt is said that in direct
violation of the statute Attorneys Hen
ry Greenstein and Frederick B. Fa1-
lon were allowed to act as bondsma In
for DeVita. They furnished bonds OF
$1,000.
DeVita was arrested in New York
and brought back here to answer to
the charge of abandoning his wife. He
was first placed under $1,000 bonds but
an appeal by lawyers of the accused
was made and the amount was reduced
to $1,000.
In the city court Thursday morn
ing De Vita was arraigned before
Judge Wilder who increased the bona
to 81, 500. Whether the court officials
were ignorant of the fact that they
were violating the law in allowing
Fallon & Greenstein to act as bonds
do favor for the lawyers is not
known.
According to section 1891 of the sta
tutes no attorney at law shall give
bonds for his client or shall be ac-
cep-ed as bondeman in any case in
which he is interested. Members of
the bar who were aware of the viola
ton of the law at the time the court
permitted it. are wondering how the
matter can be explained. De Vita'a
case was continued until next Satur-
day. His wife is held under bonds
of $1,000 as a material witness and is
now at the county jail.
It is also reported that another mat
ter in the city court recently aroused
the ire of States Attorney Judson. He
is said to have written scathing let
ter for permitting two persons charg-
ed with infideIity to go free on bonds
of 500. The couple forfeited the bonds,
which were regarded as unusually
small
