It is alleged that Hall visited Samuel White, a wealthy citizen, on LabCE day, and represented himself to be a Dr. Styles, a heart specialist, Of No. 390 Chapel street, New Haven Mir White had been suffering for two weeks from heat prostration and it IS alleged that Hall told White that hts heart was not worth five cents and he was liable to drop dead any min ute because of his weak heart, espe- ctally if he ate certain food.

Sir Oliver Lodges Startling Assertion
 in Address to Scientists.

Birmingham. Eng, Sept. 10.- Speaking on the subject of Continu- ity'' tonight before the British Asso- citation for the Advancement of Sci- -ence, Sir Oliver Lodge, president of the association, touched upon the question of life after death. Published fore casts of the address intimating start ling statements had caused the occa- sion to be anticipated with lively in- terest and gained for the speaker pro found attention.
 He declared his conviction that oc- currenCes now regarded so occult can be examined and reduced to order by the methods of science carefully and persistent1y applied, and that already the facts so examined have convinced me that memory and affection are not limited to that association with mat ter b ywhich alone they can manifest themselves here and now and that personality persists beyond bodily death"

HUMAN LEG FOUND
 IN HUDSON RIVER
Believed to Be Part of Dismemhered
 Body of Woman.

New York. Sept. 10.-In the finding late today of B human leg at Keans- burg N. J., the Hudson county, New Jersey, authorities believed they had added another part to the dismember- ed body Of the young woman found in the Hudson river last week. The lat est find was forwarded to the morgue at Hoboken and will be examined there to learn if it fits other parts of the torso. The undershirt of a woman, stained at the neck and waist with blood, was found today in the river near where the first parts of the body were picked up. This garment is con- sidered by the New Jersey officials as the most important clue yet developed in the case.
 While the discovery of the leg did not help materially in solving the mys- tery of the girls murder, the New Jersey authorities became convinced that the other limbs and head were also consigned to the river and would be found and thereby clear up the identity of the victim.
 Peter H. Sternemann, the eccentric millinery peddIer. was taken to the Hoboken morgue late today but failed to recognize anything about the torso of the body that might lead to it's Identification as that of his daughter, SterneTnann has maintained in several tncoherent letters to the authorities that he believed the murdered girl was ms daughter rom whom n6 ndS heard nothing for several months. Coinoident with Sternemann's visit to the morgue, 8 statement was issued by the detective bureau in this city that Ella Hternenaann was alive and working as a domestic, A detective, it was said, had taken the young Wom- an to the home of her aunt, Mrs, John Ruthman, at Fresh Pond, L, l., where it was said the girl was identified. The detective bureau refused to dis close the address of her place of em- ployment. Miss Sternemann left home, according to the statement. because her father took from her too much of the money she earned,
 That part of the body found today is 8 thigh about fourteen inches long. The leg had been severed below the hip and second amputation was at the knee. Keansburg, where the leg was found, is about twenty miles be- low the points where other parts of the body were picked up.
