CONFESSES MURDER
 BUT IS SET FREE
No Body, No Crime, So London
 CT Is Denied Trial

London, Oct. 12 (UP)-No body. no murder Scotland Yard, faced with the problem of finding he person or persons responsible for six unsolved murders, was re- frrshenod recently when man was arraiGncd in Bow Street Court charged on his own confess sion with the murder Of an un- known woman. This man was no ordinary killer, He threw his wom- an into river from a bridge and then told the police all about it. But the best efforts of the po- lice brought no trace of any vic tim; not even womans hat or piece Of clothing,
 The man walked into a police station in Tottenham, a residen- tial suburb Of London. when the best police officers in the country were apparently groping in six separate blind alleys in their eff forts 10 keep the solving record clean. T want to surrend- er,' he said. q threw a woman into the Thames, from Waterloo bridge" The police questioned the man and accommodated him with the best quarters available Then they went out to look for the body.
 The officers connected With the case looked rather uncomfortable when the murderer" appeared in court. After all. there has always been a body in the best English murders, or at least an indication that the defendant did away with his victim. Of course the police had something that would have been considered most valuable in dealing with an ordinary criminal. They had the defendants confess sion, About three weeks before named Rose. He had been very friendly with Rose until the fatal night that he threw her off Water loo Bridge That was all the de- fendant cared to say. Wasn't that quite enough?
 4Is N P4 ' pNII ttNLiN v Ol lIt uiIft- tor of public prosecutions review cd the case. The defendant had taken Rose by the arms and legs and thrown her over the parapet. The defendant, said the prosecr- tor, would need considerable strength to dispose of Rose in this manner, for he would have to throw her a distance of seven feet. There were several people on the 1 bridge at the time of the nurdr, and also police station close by. There had been no splash. no out cry. At the end of his i'm passioned plea, the prosecutor asked that the defendant not be committed for trial
 The magistrate Sir Charles BlTon, considered that the only di- rect evidence connecting the ac- cused with the murder was his confession. 'The only question is whether this evidence is such that ] would be justified in committing him for trial" he said. "The statement of the prisoner of how he threw the woman over seems inconsistent with the evidence. Tn these circumstances I doubt if any useful purpose would be served by committing this man for trial. I shall discharge him"
 Thus Albert Lord. 29, laborer, achieved the distinction Of being the only man within memory who confessed Il murder to the English police and was denied even trial for it. But Lord tas chance yet. Y" may b" rearrrstcd, if the po- je@ find the body.

Papers Blown Away

The exit of the ship from the hangar brought q ripple of laughter when the breeze took papers from the top and sides of the bag and blew them about. The papers were luncheon covers and lcavings which the wor'{men, eating on the Rirders of the hangar above the ship, had thrown onto it's fabric as they dis carGed them.
 A great cheer rose from the as ""mblcd crowd below when moornr finally was accomplished and a gang plank let down from the dirigible 10 the mast.
