The New York police have unearth-
ed another horrible murder and nave
succeeded In running down the crimi-
nal. Portions of womans body J. k
ed up from the Hudson river 1ew
weeks ago led to Investigations. one
of the pieces of human flesh was en-
closed In pillow case, which had the
name of the feather dealers who mad
sold the pillow. In this way the pillow

Hans Schmidt Schmidt broke down
and confessed the murder of q woman
named Anna Muller. He said ne hao
married the woman through a cere-
mony performed by himself, ana tnat
afterward realizing that ne would nave
to give up the woman or his cnuren' ne
killed the woman and disposed or the
body by throwing 1t into the Hudson
piece BY piece. Further investigation
by the police developed that Schmidt
was also a counterfeiter and that ne
was a doctor. He had in his posses
sion a quantity OF drugs including
some that were prohibited by law from
the possession of other than duly H.
cersed physicians. AS physician ne

Atlanta special of September 1s.
to Augusta Chronicle: If you hire
your automobile or horse and buggy
out on Sunday, better get your money
first. or else you can't collect 1t In
the event the party hiring Is inclined
to avoid payment. "a contract made
on Sunday in furtherance Of work OF
the ordinary calling Of one Of the con-
tracing parties cannot be, enforced
by him." So held the court OF appeals
today in reversing the case OF II. J..
Jones VS.. A, L. Bellisle, Of Atlanta.
The facts seem to be that Jones hired
an auto from Bellisle, whose business
1t is to hire out machines by the hour
or day, one Saturday night about IL
O'Clock. He was driven to the seq
regated district, and sometime a1ter
midnight, the chauffeur inquired OF
Jones IL he wanted the machine any
longer. Jones said he did, and also
ordered a seven-passenger touring
car, which was used by registering
party part of Sunday. The order for
the second car was given Sunday
morning, shortly after midnight Sat-
urday. Jones was presented with
bill for $24, with the statement that
SIS Of II was for the car used on Sun
day. He resisted payment. The court
Of appeals in its decision holds that
Jones must pay only the sum due Tor
the car ordered Saturday. 1t Is held:
Where one, in pursuance OF the
work Of his ordinary calling, lets to
another on Sunday a conveyance,
quent promise to pay for the convey
ance on a secular day, without any
new consideration, will not support an
action, either for the sum agreed to
be paid or upon an account for value
of the hire Of the conveyance Then
the court sagely observes: There Is
no reason why courts should be soli-
cited to aid one who violates Sunday
law to reap the benefits OF the 1llegal
act"
"A. G. Horne, London piano fac
tory worker, on last Tuesday morning,
found on a side walk practically the
entire pearl necklace, valued at $780,
600, which was stolen on July 16,
while in transit by mail from London
to Paris. Horne was going to work
when ne noticed the pearls lying in a
heap. He took them to the nearest
police station, where they were at
once recognized as part OF the famous
necklace from which only one pearl
Is now missing. On Septemh 2,
Ave men, three Englishmen a. two
Austrians, when trying to dispose OF
some Of the pearls in London. They
are believed to belong to notorious
international gang Of thieves. Lloyd's
has made no announcement regarding
the payment Of the reward OF $780,
600 offered for the return Of the
Jewels. The necklace, said to be the
most valuable in the world, was in
transit between two dealers when
stolen. Rumor indicated that it was
destined for Mrs. w. K. Vanderbilt.
The workman who found the valu-
able Jewels informed the police that
they were carelessly wrapped in
piece Of tissue paper. He said he
first passed them by as he thought
the package was merely ball OF
crumpled waste paper. He kicked 1t
and felt something inside and then
decided to take a closer look, with the
result that he found the package
contained a number Of large pearls.
The necklace originally was compos-
ed of 81 graduated pearls, weighing
altogether 1880 grains. The center
pearl weighed over AZ grains. The
string Of pearls was fastened by a
diamond snap Of rare workmanship.
The theft of the necklace from the
registered mail was cleverly carried
out. The postal seal on the original
packet when delivered to the London
dealer did not appear to have been
disturbed in any way, but when open
ed, it was found to contain instead
of the Jewels only a number of pieces
