German Republic issued u statement
on November Ia, 1924, addressed to
the minister of the interior, declaring
that when Jewish ritual slaughtering
is carried out according to the relig-
ious rites there is no cruelty involved.
1t is on practical grounds not advis-
able to prohibit the Jewish form of
slaughtcring, as the experience of
SaXony, where such slaughtering has
been prohibited, has shown. 1t must
be left to the legislation of the Repub-
lie rs whole to decide whether the
Jewish method Of slaughtcring, which
is now permitted in all the German
countric5, is no longer to be permitted.

that after the doctors death Judge
Andrews, or someone acting under
his directions placed the young doc

The episode must have occurred
25 years or more ago. The late
Judge Andrews occupied the proper

had the small building moved back
and placed on cedar "sleepers" and
the present main dwelling was con-

was excavated from under one of the

have been placed there before the

Workmen Unearth Collection
of Bones Probably Used by
Physician In Research And
Study - Authorities Scout
Crime Theory-Bones Were
: Contained in Metal Wash
Boiler

The unearthing Of a human skull
and partly disintegrated collection
of human bones under the sill of a
shed on Oak street, Tuesday morn
ing, was the occasion of rumors
which gained in coloring and start
ling details with each retelling, un-
til during the evening the report was
current throughout all Central Maine
that evidence Of a CHASTITY murder
had been uncovered in Augusta.
The dismembered parts of the
skeleton were discovered by Oscar
H. Anderson, a local mason con-
tractor. and helper. while they
were excavating for concrete foun-
dation under small adjoining ell or
shed building on the property of
Harold S. Packard at 80 Oak street.
The startling find was located not
more than two feet under earth, and
the bones were contained in the
rusted remains Of a copper bottomed
wash boiler.
Notification Of the discovery was
given to the county officials and rep
resentatives of the sheriff's depart
ment fastened to the scene to inves-
tigate. They later arranged to dis
pose Of the bones. The utensil in
which the skull and bones had been
buried had practically entirely rust
ed away, with the exception of the
bottom. which was of copper and had
withstood the erosion of the years
during which the human remnants
had been under earth.
When brought to light the skull
was very well preserved and eX-
animation revealed that it was that
of fully matured person. The teeth
of both the upper and lower jaws
were in perfect state of preserva-
ton. Some of the smaller bones of
the limbs, hands and feet were miss
ing, and 1t was obvious to the inves-
tigators that the human remains had
been placed in the metal utensil and
in the ground, dismembered.
1t was impossible to ascertain how
many years the bones had been I'M
