Shuck, with a piece Of an iron spring
about ten or twelve inches long and
two and one half inches wide and one
half inch thick After this beating
nothing further was heard from Paul
and the car was started, Shuck contin-
ued to drive the car. The route the car
took was over Baird avenue bridge
through the park along Kaighn avenue
extension to Marlton pike. along the
pike to Marlton and Medford, taking
back roads to circle both places, and
continuing on to Tabernacle and into
the pine woods until they reached q
place called Tricks causeway.
Body Hidden In Marsh
The car was stopped at little
bridge over q small and shallow stream
where the trees and underbrush were
extremely heavy. In this out of way
and unfrequented place the body Of
Paul was taken out Of the car and car
ried by Shuck and James into the heavy
underbrush and deposited In soft,
marshy place close TO the edge Of the
brook and about twenty or thirty feet
from the little bridge and the road.
They Immediately returned to the
car and started to strip the left hand
rear door Of its inside covering because
IL was stained with blood from Paul's s
head that had rested against it as he
lay in the bottom Of the car, dead. This
covering and the upholstering tape that
had been inside 10 hold 1t IN place were
thrown into the underbrush and have
since been found bearing bloodstains.
and will be offered in evidence, as well
also the rear left hand door which like
wise contains blood spots. At the same
place they also threw away the eye
glasses Of Paul and the case containing
them, evidently finding these in the bot
tom of the car after the body had been
taken out.
Before leaving the body James took
from Paul'S coat his wallet. The money
was taken from the wallet and the other
contents torn into pieces and thrown
along the road by James as ShuCk drove
the car out OF the woods. The part OF
the iron spring with which Paul had
been beaten was also thrown away as
they went through the woods, In
throwing the spring out of the car the
windshield vas struck and partly
broken. James also threw away, in the
woods. the revolver that he had and
with which shots had been fired at Paul
as they came along Marlton pike, al
though he was dead at the time. Many
Of the above articles have been found
and will be offered in evidence.
Tried to Secret Money
I'm returning from the woods Shuck
drove the car to his bungalow at Glenn
enton. The purpose Of this visit to
! the bungalow was to hide the $40 200
that had been taken from Paul. When
they reached the bungalow they entered
! and went to the second floor and there
opened the package OF money. They
then decided there was no safe place
to hide it there and they then started
for Brooklawn, the home OF james, but
finally decided TO 60 TO ShuCk's house n
Camden instead.
"On the way 10 Shuck's home they
stopped at store in Westville and
James bought new shirt and collar t.
replace those he was wearing, and or
which there were some blOodstains
