ing the theft Of fowls from the hen

tlves were Informed by Mr.. Wolscy

showed the officers some fowls which
bore bands on their legs ana as they
resembled fowls stolen from EllwOOd
Goodwin and Harry Vincent, on West
Thirty-nrst street, it was decided to
keep a lookout for the man who sold
the fowls.
since then local dealers in poultry
have been policed and this morning
Jones was arrested in Front street.
When taken 70 the police station, he
said he was from Hopewell, Va, and
that the fowls he had In his posses
sion had been given him by farmer
for work he had done. Just who this
farmer was or where he lived, the pris-
uner did not say. Jones also said that
he was a stranger here. His clothins
and hata however, bore the names Of
local dealers.
Wolsey later identified Jones as the
noon who had sold him chickens al va
rious times. This Jones denied. but

found on the prisoner as one that Jones
had dropped in Murphy's feed store and
which Wolsey had picked up and
given back 10 the prisoner.

The construction company had been

was to protect the ammunition stored

months that the soldiers were dispatch

II O'Clock last night and embarked from

" after a o'clock, eighty more soldiers
arrived at Pigeon Point, abotrd the

Woman Murdered by Throat
SlasheS May Have Been

DEAD BODY COULD
HAVE BEEN CARRIED

Although thousands Of people, the
majority Of whom were Negroes, have
viewed the body Of the Negress who
was found lying along the Rodgers road
near Rose Hill yesterday morning with
her throat gashed from ear TO ear, the
body has not been identified. state De-
tective Mccoy, who is working on the
case, Is, therefore, inclined to believe
the woman was a resident OF some
point below New Castle. The theory
has also been advanced that the woman
may have been attacked miles from
where the body was found and brought
In an automobile 10 the field where the
body was found. Detective Mccoy, who
worked all Of yesterday and last night
on the case, thinks the murderer, after
dragging the body into the field. started
toward Eden Park on foot, as a blue
steel revolver was found by Constable
Lucius C.. Jones yesterday afternoon in
the field where the body was found.
This weapon was fully loaded with 81
calibre bullets and had not been ex-
posed 10 the weather for any length OF
time, not a part belng rusted.
The corpse bore no bullet wounds.
but u is thought that the murderer in
leaving the scene, threw the gun away.
On this theory efforts are now being
made 10 locate the knife which was
used in cutting the woman's throat.
That a sharp knife was used. was evil
dent yesterday, when a careful exami-
nation showed that the throat Of the
woman bore eight different siashes
The iuglar vein had been severed and
The head was almost on the body.
TWO Negresses, who called at the
morgue today, informed the police
that they thought the woman was
stella Taylor Of New Castle, whose
father lives at IIamlown. a Negro set
'lament near Nliddletown. Efforts are
now being made 10 have this man come
here TO look at the body.
That the woman had lived in a rural
section was evident by the clothing
she wore she wore two pairs Of
stockings, one OF these being mems
socks. She also wore a number seven
shoe and had on a suit of mems under
wear.
