Philadelphia,Dec. SI.^The^surrounding the finding of the mutilated^remains of the murdered man in East Pair-^mount park, Wednesday fast, has been^solved, the corpse identified and tha mur-^Asn r is in prison. The murder was a dia^^bolical tme, and the motive for the deed^waa to obtain the money of the murdered^man; but all that the murderer Is knowu to^have realized by his crime Is $40. Through^the published portrait of the dead man the^body was recognized as that of Antoioe^Schilling, and the murder traced to Jacob^Schroop, a partner of Schilling In a small^grocery store.
Thehatchet, axe and saw used by^Schroop was found Id the cellar of his^house this morning, covered with blood.^The body was carried Into the cellar where^It was evidently allowed to remain until^the following morning. After having been^cut into pieces u was placed in bags and^removed to the place where found. Ihe^wooden floor with which a portion of the^cellar was covered waa bhaid stained In^many places and resembled a slaughter^house. Schroop*s wife, who la prostrated^on account of her husband's arrest, Is In^the custialy of the officers, and will likely^be removed to a hospital until she recovers^from the shock, when It la likely she, too,^will be placed behlud the bars on the^charge of having had a hand In the mur^^der.
Themurderer was given a hearing be^^fore a magistrate to-day. He gave his^name as Jacob SchiMip, aged 68 years, and^said be was boru In Switzerland. A police^official testified to .Vhoop having confessed^to the murder of Schilling and the prisoner^was then formally committed to await the^action of the coroner. Late this afternoon^Chief Wood gave to the newspapers a copy^of ttie confession made by Scnoop, in^w blob the latter says the name of the mur^^dered man win Antoine Schilling, and that^he killed him about 6 o'clock on the morn-^lug of Christmas day. He aays he arose^from bed about that nour and went to the^kitchen to get some f^md for hta wife, who^was sick. On ha^klng In tho cupboard he^found no victuala there, and turning to^Schilling, who waa in the room, accused^him of having eaten what had been left In^the closet. Schilling denied having eaten^the food and Schoop, becoming angered,^knock, -t him down and beat him to death^with a heavy piece of wood. He left the^body lying in the kitchen unMl 6 o'clock tn^the afternoon, when he cut off the legs and^threw the body and severed legs Into the^cellar. The next morning about 6 o'clock^he hitched up a horse and wagon and hav^^ing placed the dismembered liody in two^bags he loaded the hags into the wagon^and dmve to the park aud placed the bags^in the pipe, where they were found late the^same day by the boys.
