District Attorney Dodd of Brook- lyn said: “It doesn’t really make much difference whether he does confess. I am convinced that we have a case plenty, strong enough to convict him now.” Parts of the bodies of two women have been found since Saturday in six places in New York and Brook- lyn, The latest discoveries were packages in subway yards and near the Grand Army Plaza, Brooklyn, in which were a woman's head and part of a thigh. Both places are about two miles from the house in Prospect Place, Brooklyn, where janitor. ledical examiners, piecing to- gether the human fragments, lieved only a few portions yet re- mained undiscovered of the bodies of Miss Sarah Elizabeth Brownell, 69-year-old former seamstress, and Alfred Bennett, 48-year-old ay of four children.

An incomplete casualty list em- bracing the Jerusalem district placed the dead at 26 and the injured at 30, and officiais fear that when re- ports are received from the outlying places the death toll will reach a large figure. Material Damage Heavy In Jerusalem, itself, the material damage was extensive. The small don» of the Holy Sepulchre church, occupying a site which has been looked upon as sacred for many cen- turies, was badly cracked. But only one death is recorded in the city proper. Twelve persons are known to have been injured. The escape of the inhabitants of Jerusalem seems laggely due to the fact that the shock was not severe en th to bring down th compara- tively solid buildings of the city. Outside the capital, the loss of life undoubtedly was greater owing to the flimsy construction of many dwellings, which collapsed upon in- mates before they were abie to es- cape. In this way 90 houses in Abudis, near Bethany, crumbled, and it is feared there were many victims. * 30 Killed at Nablus Unofficial reports say that Nablus, near the site of the ancient Samari- tan center of Shechum, suffered severely, with 30 persons killed and Ram- _ | about 250 injured. Ramleh, Es Salt, Emman, malah and Berzerit, are among the ‘places reported to have many houses down with resulting casualties. The collapse of a hotel in Jericho. killed three Indian women visitors, Four children were killed when 1 house fell at Mount of Olives, and five women lost their lives at Ain Karim, the modern name of the place where, according to tradition, John the Baptist was born. WITNESS TELLS OF DESTRUCTION WROUGHT Cairo, Egypt, July 12.—G)—An tbat raac who arrived here today by airplane from Transjordania, suid jthat 300 persons were believed to have been killed in yesterday's earth- quake. At Muan, Arabia, the eye-witness said, most of the houses were dam- aged or had collapsed completely, while a mosque in the course of erec- tion was seriously damaged. The movements of the earth lasted 40 seconds and were visible in-the surrounding lava beds, the witness said, describing the effect as ter- ng. lany persons were killed at Am- man, Palestine, the witness sald, while others were killed at Rudd and Rambleh, as well as in various villages in Transjordani Desert Bedouins everywhere’ ap- peared terrified by the earth move- ments. While the earthquake was felt in Cairo, no damage was reported. OFFICIAL REPOR7S OF CASUALTIES RECEIVED Jersualem, July 12,—(/)—Latest official reports from Nablus, which lis 30 miles north of Jerusalem, give earthquake casuaities of 62 dead and 250 injured. At Rambleh, 12 persons were killed and 25 injured, while at Ludd 30 persons were injured. The report from. -Nablus stated that most of the casualties took place when # bazaar collapsed.
