Bridgeport, Aug. 31.—George E. Nott,» whose body was found in a | trunk late last night was killed in | bed, in the opinion of the police. The | wutopsy by Medical Examiner Samuel | H.

The weight of the trunk caused it to sink into the muck so that only by men was it extricated and brought back here. No Confession Yet. The police thix noon sal@ that no direct confession as to the person who actually codmitted the murder had been made. Statements, they say, have been made by Mrs. Nott, Elwood son, aged 20, who are held without bail on technical charges of breach of the peace, in which each accuses the other of having a hand in the killing of Nott although Mrs. Nott and Wade have not said that Johnson actually Johnson told the according to the latter, that he carried an axe to the Nott apart- | ment Sunday morning “to get Nott,” but when he saw Wade Nott on the head with a pounding plece of having lost his courage. Two trunks figure in the case. One was that which belonged to Mrs. Nott, in which the body was found. and the other belonged to Wade and was on the truck which neighbors re- ported they saw at the Nott house at | 10:30 Sunday night, and on which was carried away the trunk taken out | of the Nott apartment by Wade and | Johnson. It was the finding of the' Wade trunk on the east side yester-| day afternoon which first led the police to believe that an all-day search for a trunk supposed to con- ' tain a body had been a waste of egort and that the mystery of a shooting affray in the Nott apart- as told by the neighbors, had said was without basis in fact. But the police kept up a grilling of the three ! persons held at headguarters and about 6 p. m. both Wade and John- was a second trunk. Wade Goes With Authorities.

Nincteen Wounds on Body. The body bore 19 distinet wounds. The skull was crushed in as if by an axe. Most of the wounds were knife | stabs. Cuts on the neck indicated that an effort had been made,to sever the head from the body. Bruises on the back may have come from some- with heavy shoes standing on th@P part of the body to crush it down into the trunk. One wound In the breast was singed and was attributed to a bullet. The police found an axe in the Nott apartment which Johnson is said to have said he had carried there and which he left when he saw Wade with the lead pipe. The revolver, lead pipe and knife have not yet been found. Captain Regan, head of the detec- tive branch, said this noon that he did not believe all the statements made by Mrs. Nott, Wade and John- son. He said that Mrs. Nott charfd that Wade did the killing while Wade sald that Mrs. Nott ghot her hus- band. Friend Visits Nott.
