was some feet from -the shore, was
poled to land where it lay shrouded
in heavy cloth wrappings awaiting the
anval of the medical examiner.

Three' of the eight Incisions ' pene
trated the brain and either of them !
would have caused quick death.
Five wounds were on the left side
of the head, three of which on the face
proper were superficial indicating that
the assassin was not unfamiliar with
the vogue of white slave slayers who
never fail to slash their victims across
the face even , though they . kill them
afterwards. - ' .
It will be remembered that Dora
Herman of Bridgeport who insurred
the wrath of the white slave gang of

STABBED TO DEATH
MILL POND TODAY
gone deep through the skull and found
lodgment in the brain. f
The other wound penetrated the left
forearm and probably - indicates that
the unfortunate woman raised that
arm to protect herself from the mur
derous attack of her assailants
A . man's undershirt and drawers
were wrapped about- the head and the
lower part of 'the body was Dunaiea
in two sheets, one of which contained
the' letters "G,. C." embroidered in
red.
There may 'be some significance in
these initials as they are the first two
letters of the given and surname of
Jennie Cavalieri, the yo,ung Italian
matron who was shot to death in-Oro
noaue. Stratford. Oct. 22. by Joe Bou
nomo, now held for that crime, in the
county Jail at Bridgeport.
The Italian spelling of the Cavalieri
woman's name is Gianina Cavalieri,
and it will be further recalled that the
name of another woman . figured in
the case in dispatches from Chicago.
The advices from Chicago were that
the Cavalieri woman had ' a. female
companion who was- supposed to have
gone East" about the same time, each
of them having previously been mark
ed for death because they had inform
ed on members of the white slave gang
and bad given testimony , m-one. case
which the government authorities had
prosecuted. . - . ' r . ' -. ' . V
This -second woman has never been
accounted for..- It may turn- out that

in Stratford, for Jennie Cavalieri and
the woman still missing from Chicago
uvea in the same apartments. .
There was also an old white -underskirt
' wrapped about the , body which
was done up in a. tight bundle and
tied with wires; The woman wore a
chemise and around her neck was a
small apron. A calico petticoat about
the lower part of the body did not
have the appearance of having been
worn by the woman at the time, of
her murder but looked as though it
nad oeen wrown arouna cne nips.
The wires were' used plentifully and
the clothing was bundled very tight
ly about the nude body. Fastened to
thi5 was a large stone, weighing about
75 nounds. The stone was two feet.
by eight inches, by six inches. There
was also a scapuier aoout ner necx.
The theory of those who' investi
gated the case this forenoon was that
the body was thrown into deep water
on the opposite slue or tne pona irom
where it was round. - mere is a rail'
road bridge nearby and It could
easily have been tossed into the pond

COAL $8.50 A TON
BEGINNING MOIIDAY
Local Dealers State Reason
Why They Are Compelled
to Advance Price
The price, of coal per ton in this
city, of the egg, stove and nut variety,
commonly, termed family sizes will be
$8.50 . a ton . beginning Monday and
just how long that rate will be main
tained depends altogether on circum
stances over which the local dealers
apparently have no control.
The situation in the coal market
has been acute for some time and it
can now in truth be said to be criti
cal. The dealers here met yesterday
for the purpose of .going into the
question and endeavor if poible to
uuu Bunie way to relieve tne tense
ness of the situation.
-- They found after comparing notes
tnat lr would be impossible to con
tmue the present price of $7.50 per
ton longer than today because they
are now compelled to pay $7.25 -a
ton themselves at the point of ship
ping and they are unable to secure
even at tnat price the quantity they
require lor tneir trade.
One of the local dealers authorized
to speak for the rest said today that
the increase was imperative; in fact
there was absolutely nothing else to
do, the one alternative being for the
dealetrs to close up business.
"We regret the situation fully as
mucn as our customers for we realize
the hardship it will entail ' upon a
considerable portion of our popula
tion. We are forced to pay from $7
to $7.25 per ton for the family sizes
or coal in the open market. Add to
this the cost of transportation and
discharge of say nothing of the cart
age, shrinkage and overhead charges
and you can see for yourself the posi
tion which we occupy."
Vincent Bros., local dealers, said
that early last spring they placed or
ders for approximately 10,000 tons
for their tirade and of this amount
they have received to date only 507
tons. They placed their order with
the fonrprnn thpv nnv hpon rlianliner
with for 20 years and despite Tie fact
tnat tney tried, in every conceivable
way to secure shipments they have
been 'unable to get1 the coal throusrh
here excepting the 507 tons. What
other coal they have been able to ob
tain they have been compelled to buy
from speculators in open market
practically at auction prices.
The dealer with whom the Farmer
talked said that the situation in this
city was typical of . the , situation in
other parts of the country where the
dealers are at the mercy of the trans
portation companies.
