but that the body had been subjected
to mistreatment after which probably
came two days ago.

phases: A search for the head and
limbs, which the autopsy revealed
had been severed by an expert which
might lead to identification of the
body; a search through the records
of trie missing person's bureau, and
thy pursuit of mysterious "tips"
which led searchers for a "fiend
slayer" to the stock yards district and
the motion picture colony in Tlollywood.
Juan Manriquez, who with his son
discovered the torso near the bank ofthe
Los Angeles river when it bobbed
up befotc the lights of his car last
night, was held ponding investigation.
Police said the body was that of a
; young woman between 15 and 22
[ years of age of medium' build. The
: autopsy revealed that the body had

' then thrown into the river, swollen
by recent rains.

Chicago Bandit*
Rob Congregation
t i
-Chicago, April 9.?Five snarling,
cursing thieves, niuwked aqd arrped,
held up 80 members of tne First
Rumanian syhagogue congregation
last night, taking $75,000 in money
and jewels. It was the first instance
in Chicago police records of holdup
inside of a place of worship.
Laurence liungardean, Rumanian
vice consul, was among the few to
escape loss. He was mistaken for
one who already had been searched,
and was ordered to ohe side.
For nearly half an hour the jobbers,
some with pistols, some with
i shotguns," moved among the congregation
which had been ordered to
| line up against a wall. From the'
I arms and hands of the women the |
robbers snatched bracelets and rings.
The men's pockets yielded billfolds j
; ajtd watches.
The robbers, frequently breaking
the silence of the church with curses, j
j held handkershiefs to their faces, but i
before the robbery was finished they
j abandoned their concealment. Some ,
j members of the congregation said
I they recognized two, and their names I
were later given police.
A specjal meeting wat^bcing held
to hear Victor Phillips of Buchar. j
! est, i. preventative of the Rumanian
government in the tenth anniversary
Celeb)anon of United Rumania to be
obscived in Bucharest in May. The1
meeting was in the church parlors1
when Quenn Marie of Rumania ,was
a gu< during her Chicago visit; ?
Mr. Phillips was nearing . the end
of h address when the robbers
ran d a n the aisle from the front
eniram **. The speaker stopped in
the middle of n sentence, and the
startled congregation huddled silent
in their pews.
The n/bber chief, shouting oattys,
ordered everyone to line up dgainst
the wall. Three of the band stationed
themselves at the exits. The
leader and another moved among the
congregation, taking what valuables
they could find.
- In the Ir-tstirely seared the robbers came
to Rabbi Harris Goldstein and
took $22 from his billfold. Observing
the rabbi's name on it, the leader
told his aide to return the money.
From Mr. Phillips the thieves toolT
$50, overlooking $500 in a secret
pocket. Among the loot, as reported
to police, we?i?a^diamond ring valued
at $4,000, a pair of earrings worth
$2,200 and a "bracelet valued at $1,000.
Dr. Lee Shitfman, the cantor,- lost
$<50/ a diamond .tie pin and $1,000
which lay on a table and which was
to have been paid him for his serv-.
ices.
As the robbers approached M. J.
Braunstein, he slipped his watch into
thc> hand of his wife. At the same
time Mrs. Ross Weissler gave Mrs.
Braunstein a $000 diamond ring.
Mrs. Brunstein dropped the valuables
into a box of doughnuts she carried,
1 and when the robber approached she
| held the box out to them, offering
I them a doughnut. The thieves passed
by, without examining the contents of
the box.
J. D. .Raynes offered $1.90 tp the
robbers as they approached him.
"I'm the shamus (janitor)" he said.
"Keep it," said the robber chief.
One woman fainted. After the
robbers had gone Rabbi Goldstein ofj
l'ered a prayer of thanks that no
j lives had been taken.

Spectacular Duel;
Two Fight To Death
Waynesville, N. C., April 2.?Stand.
, ing only a few feet apart in the
muddy street of Crabtree, a logging
village in the Balsam mountains, two
stalwart men Monday drew guns and ,
an instant later both rocked under i
the impact of leaden slugs.
Joe Hay, 43, of Waynesville and]
Walter McCracken/* 33, of Crabtree
are dead, victims of the ancient code
<iu$llo of the mountains, and today a
woman nurses in her heart the secret
that brought the double slaying to
the logging camp.
Half a dozen men looked on when-,
Kay and McCracken met shortly after j
dawn this morning. Unmoved they
watched the gun battle that stretched
! both men in stark death upon the
black mud of the narrow street.
"I'll be damned if I tuke any
more bluffing," MejQracken is said to
have gritted at Kay when the latter
advanced on him with his gun drawn,
ILis hand streaked down and his gun
came up spitting tire. Even as he
,pOll.ed the trigger the hot lead from
| Kay's revolver wus tearing into his
I body. Both guns roared as the men
[ swayed and staggered, finally pitching
on their faces in the mud.
An examination showed that Mc- .
j Cracken had two 38 calibre bullets
| in his head while Ray was wounded
! four times, one bullet? from the 32
calibre gun going through his left
arm, two through his neck and the
; last through his mouth.
Jen lousy over the favor of a wo,
man who kept a boarding house in
j the lumber camp is said to have
I caused the trouble between the two
men. They had quarreled upon
numerous occasions, according to the
other men. There is also said to
have been trouble over the lumbering
operations being conducted by Mc!
Cracken on Ray's property,
j Both men were married and had
families. The fact that they had
.quarreled before and "had made threats
is given by the other men as the
j reason why both men were armed
Deputy Sheriff C, U. Allison investigated
the case and announced
that there will be no inquest as half
a dozen men were eye witnesses to
the duel.
The National City Bank and the
i Farmers Loan & Trust company of
i New York, have been merged, giving
the institution assets of $2,000,000,000.
