SLAIN JERSEY MAN
BOOTLEGS' VICTIM
Perth Amboy Police Thus Ex-
plain Crushed Body Found
in Woods.

Efforts were being made yesterday to
identify the body OF a murdered man
found late Friday night in the woods
y. J., in Sayreville township. Detectives
believe the man was slain by bootleg
gers for money he had brought with him
to purchase liquor.
The man was well dressed, about 80
years old and weighed IT'S pounds. His
clothing was bought in Manhattan and
Brooklyn, but, despite numerous labels
and markings, the police were unable
yesterday TO establish his identity.
The most valuable Information was
given to the police by James Holton of
South Amboy, who discovered the body.
He said he went for walk Thursday
afternoon in Scullys Grove and was sit
ting on a fence when he noticed an au-
tomobile beside the road Two mea
came out of the woods. went toward the
automobile, but on catching sight of
Holton ran back. Holton strolled across
the road and into the woods opposite
seeking to give the impression he was
leaving, but as soon as the underbrush
hid him he turned back and hid in a
clump where he could watch the other
side of the road.
In about fifteen minutes, Holton said,
the men came out again, looked about
and then got on their car and drove off.
Holton started down the road and in a
few minutes met John SIolte, a friend,
and told him of the incident. They went
into the woods and found burlap bag
containing two picks and two shoves. 1t
was getting dark and they decided to
leave, agreeing to return after work
next day to hunt for liquor they be-
lieved had been buried.
Holton arrived first and had gone only
100 feet into the woods when he came
upon the body of man. Thinking it
was Stolte. and that he had been mur-
dered when he reached the woods ahead
of him, Holton ran out and notified the
police. But the man was not Stolte.
The head had been crushed behind the
righ ear by a heavy blow and a shot
had been fired into the right shoulder
and another behind the ear. penetrat-
ing the brain.
