While an autopsy was being per- formed yesterday which showed the young woman had died from a skull fracture and a wound on the left side of thé body, laborers employed by the police to dig in the cellar for further = evidence, unearthed the skates Miss Cruger had taken in Coc- chi’'s shop on February 13 to be sharpened. The skates, with & pair of sh attached, were blgod stained, and dn fce chopper, dug up near Where the skatches were found, had blood stains on it also. Dr. Otto H. Schultze, county med! cal examiner, who made the autops: expressed the opinion that the crime Wwas another ‘“‘ripper” case, and, as such, would have been perpetrated by one man, who hardly would have had an_accomplice. . Many persons who have been ex- amined by the police since the body wag found were “Wibpoenaed to ap- pear before’the grand jury. The coroner announced that digging in the cellar would be resumed, In an éffort to find & plece of bone missing [ from ‘the youhg woman’s head.

Further, Mr. McKenna sets forth that an example of Mr. Brainerd’s fidelity to the United| States is shown by his action of Feb- ruary, 1914, when the U. S. 8. Po- tomac was abandoned in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. At that time Mr. Brainard, at the request of the United tes consul, shortly after recover- ing from an attack of neuritis, walked on foot over 150 miles through =2 tractless land, from Bonne Bay, New- foundland to a point near Ferrole Point, Newfoundland. This took place in the middle of winter. In addition to his honorable discharge, Mr. Brain- ard has & good conduct medal and a continuous service certificate in the Fleet Naval Reserve.
