BODY FOUND.
Corpse in Creek Bears Resemblance
to Man Found Burned.

TO N.n EOuIlU BtIlnCU.
Black Rock, March 19.-The body
of a man of Hungarian parentage,
was found today floating in Cedar
Creek. The strange resemblance OF
the victim to Stephen Molnar, whose
body was found burned almost to d
crisp on mud flats near there several
months ago, is leading to a strict in
vestigation by the police,
Molnar, according to the coroner's
finding, was murdered, and the police
believe there is some connection be-
tween the cases. The face of the vic
tim found today is considerably dis
colored, which leads to the belief that
he met with foul play.
On the right arm blue heart is
tattooed, within which is the letter.

COURT DETECTS
ALTERATION IN
ALEGAL PAPER
Vice chancellor Howell Tells
Lawyer Mascia That It
Was Not a Mistake.

A paper that had been altered be-
tween the time it had been signed and
filed with the records of the court
was presenaed Vice-G Chancellor Howell
today. The vlce-chancellor instantly
detected what he believed 10 be a
find out the person who made the
alteration he would see to It that that
person was severely punished.
The incident came when Harry
Unger. as solicitor for Jacob Weiss,
the holder of a mortgage for $1,000 on
property at 27 East Kinney street.
moved to have an answer filed by
Edgido W. Mascia as solicitor for
Teresina and Joseph Zanfini, owners
of the property. stricken from the
record
Because the Zanfinis had defaulted
in the payment of interest on the
mortgage, Mr.. Unger, acIing for Mr..
Weiss, had brought suit IN fore
closure. After the papers had heen
served Mr.. Mascia obfail- I'D an exten-
sion of time to file his answer from
Mr.. Unger, promising to pay the IN
terest. taxes and counsel fee. Again,
ON October I, Mr.. Mascia asked for
and obtained from Mr.. unger another
extension Of time, this one being for
thirty days.
No further extension was granted,
but on November 7 Mr.. Mascia filed
his answer. In it he alleged that the
mortgage was voided because Of
usury.
Mr.. Unger then made the motion
to strike the answer from the record,
charging that the answer had been
filed six days too late, and also on the
ground that the defense OF usury was
a sham defense.
When the matter came before the
vice. chancellor today he opened the
original papers on file in the court.
immediately he saw that the last ex-
tension of time. which was dated from
October 1, was altered 1t granted
thirty days, but the alteration, con-
Guiding the words of the extension,
and written IN ink, were ITO wit, No
vember Z.
WHO did this. Mr.. Maseia asked
the yiee-cbanceilor You have got to
explain this.
There must be some mistake, your
honor" responded MIR. Mascia.
With sorne heat the vice-chancellor
rejoined. There is no mistake. This
extension Of time filed with the clerk
of the court was deliberately altered
after 1t had been signed. This is a
very serious matter. ! do not accuse
you Of doing II, ,<hit If I ind out who
did shall see that they are severely
punished .
He then determined that Mr..

of usi1ry WAS frivolous and a sham,
and ordered It struck from tho files.
