BIRMINGHAM. Ala, December ~.
Police and county officials expect to
gather further evidence today con-
Meeting Fred Glover. negro, with at
least a part of the series of twenty
four AK murders that have occurred
in Birmingham. Glover has been
identified by Mr.. and Mrs. Edwin
Sparks as the negro who hit Mrs.
Sparks over the head as they were
noon. Mrs. Sparks is recovering from
her wounds.
The finding of a bloody hatchet and
pistol in G1over's room and his
criminal record add weight to the
belief of officials that they have ar
rested the right man this time. 1t is
pointed out also that while he was
in prison on another charge some
time ago there were none OF the AK
attacks.
Glover has been identified by the
county bureau of Identification as the
negro convicted in February, 1920,
for burglary and grand larceny and
sentenced to the county road for thir-
teen months.
I'VE are sure We have the right
man. and we think we are going to
be able to place the responsibility for

Davis. This man Glover has a GRIM

So many fruitless arrests have
been made in the past that there are

twenty-four killed, have included
twenty-three others who have been

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, December IL.
The story of how a woman's body
was dismembered and scattered In
''arious parts of the state to con-
zeal evidence of crime was told
Yesterday when DIR. William NJ. Robb
Of Boston, who had confessed to per-
forming an illegal operation on Mrs.
Mice NJ. Wolschendorf of East
Bridgewater, was sentenced to state
prison for a term of from five to
seven years. Indictments against
DIR. Robb and DR.. Dalva A Swope of
Brockton for first degree murder and
FOR being an accessory before and
after the fact were mol pressed. DR..
Swope, now under Indictment as an
accessory to abortion, will be ar
raigned Friday.
Traced to Doctor.
The Wolschendorf case became
known as the suit case mystery
when the limbs and torso of woman
were found floating in the Merrimack
river at Tyngsboro. DR.. Robb dis
appeared when it became known that
Mrs. Wolschendorf when last seen
had been on her wa way t0-had TO ms Sr1Ge Prnm
Philadelphia and surrendered.
District Attorney Arthur X. Read
ing made it known that DR.. Robb
had disclosed the hiding places of the
missing parts of the body of the
woman. who died after an operation
performed by him.
Leads to Body.
Yesterday Dr. Robb guided the dis
trict attorney and medical examiners
to Lexington. Not far from the Mo-
hawk trail in that town, near the
stump of a tree, was found the head
of a woman. Heavy rains had wash
ed the earth away so that the hair
was exposed The head had been
placed face down in the ground and
covered over.
From Lexington, the party went to
Acton, and there they were guided to
the peIvis of the body. That, too, had
been almost uncovered by the rains.
While officials refused to make public
DIR. Robbs story of his movements
after the woman's death, they pointed
out that the position of the portions
of the body found today indicate that
the head was probably concealed first,
the pelvis next and then the two
suitcases with limbs and torso were
disposed of in the river at Tyngsboro.

NAPLES, Italy, Aug. 21.-Gordona
Guarda, Elba-these are three Of the
more interesting islands which, rising
like great, gray mountain peaks out
of the placid, blue sea, skirt the West
ern italian coast from Genoa to
Naples.
We made a record run, the speed
test having been ordered by the COM
pany for the purpose of classifying the
Tuscania as an immigrant carrier. II
she could make in excess Of eighteen
knots, she would be permitted to
charge one pound per capita more
than a sixteen-knot boat, for carrying
immigrants to America from Naples.
She made it and our captain and chief
engineer are CORRESPONDENCE happy.
But Italy is taking the emigrant
carrying business away from com
petitors with her subsidized merchant
marine.
Passage to Z. S. 500
There are $4,000 Italians to be
brought over this year, according to
the three per cent. quota, which at

business of $4,000, 900, not bad prize
to work for. And hundreds or thou
So nds of Italians are continually re-
turning to the land Of their birth.
Italians go to America to find work
and money, but When they want to
live they come back to sunny Italy.
And why not? One can live here in
any part of the peninsula for frac-
ton of what it would cost in America
and be in a land as beautiful as
Paradise.
I thought of the Italy Of today as
we sailed down the western coast.
Guarda, where lies the body of Carl
baldi. unselflsh patriot who gave his
life for the unification and liberty of
his country. Garibaldi, like Lincoln,
believed in the common people. Mus
solini, like Henry Cabot Lodge, thinks
Garibaldi and Lincoln were wrong.
On the next island, we caught a
ieeting glimpse of the great, bloomy
old house where that other great IUal
ian, Napoleon, spent the months of
his first exile in the winter and early
spring of 1914 before his escape his
hundred days of renaissance. Water
loo and ST. Helena.
What a Land!
What a. land to have produced two
such characters in one century as
Garibaldi. the democrat, and Napoleon,
the autocrat! And away of with
powerful binoculars some Of our party
declared they could see the leaning
tower of Pisa and the baptistry, for
ever associated with that greatest Of
early astronomers, Calico. and the
forerunner of Columbus himself. Down
the coast we steamed while I thought
Of Italy. a nation whose story runs
back into the prehistoric centuries Of
the Etruscans, a. land which has I'M
doubtedly produced more philosophers
and poets and artists and statesmen
and warriors than anys other land In
all the story of mankind.
BY all the rules Of the game, ITALY
should today be decadent with her
candle burned out. Instead she is
producing artists and writers and his
torians and men who are challenging
the admiration Of the very greatest
OF the western nations.
What is the secret of Italy's virility,
while Spain, with far greater natural
resources, sleeps on the sunny side
Of the wall?
