MITCHELL IS BACKED
AS BRIDGE ENGINEER
Philadelphia Expert
r
Support, of New Jersey
Men for Post
Samuel P. Mitchell, a Philadelphia
engineer, with offices In the Ileal Itato
Trust Building, wns reommonded to be
one of thp three engineers to supervise
the construction of tlie Delaware river
bridge at the meeting of tho board of
directors of tlie Camden Chamber of
Commerce yesterdny.
Mr. Mitchell was the engineer who
planned the lnrgo steel span across the
St. Lawrence river at Quebec after
three other spans had fallen with gient
loss of life. In his thirty years' ex
perience ho has built bridges over nearly
all principal rivers of the country.
The sentiment of the Camden Cham
ber of Commerce, according to Dr.
George M. Beringer, In selecting Mr.
Mitchell was that he wns one of a very
few men of national reputation in bridge
engineering.
"The Delaware river bridge construc
tion requires the best corps of engi
neers und architects obtainable," said
Samuel W. Shay, Camden member of
the bridge commission. "It is alo
essential that the work be started soon
and kept at steadily."
South Jersej farmers have come to
the support of the bridge project in re
sentment of attacks that have been
made upon it and the boost In feiry
rates which will ko hard with farmers'

Without Bail in Pali

CASH AND JEWELRY GONE
New Yoilc, Aug. 27. At the close of
eight hours of examination, Frank
Hchultz. husband of nianclte, the young
woman foupd murdered in underbrush
near the Palisades Amusement Park,
and Edward Faulkner, his friend, were
held last night In the Itcrgen County
Court ns material witnesses In the In
vestigation of the Incidents leading to
the crime.
Investigation of thn death of Mrs.
Bchultz today brought n statement from
the Iter. Anthony Ferrettl, of Cliff
side, that ho had heard n woman
screaming between 10 and 11 o'clock
Saturday night not far from the placo
where tlie body wns discovered.
This Information wns regarded by
the police ns highly Important. It is
the nearest estimate of the time at
which the murder may havo taken place
that they have yet received.
The woman's husband spent n rest
ful night nt the Hackensaclt jail. He
was taken before Assistant Prosecutor
McCarthy at noon.
For Hchultz, yesterday was the most
hectic day of hU varied career. In the
mornlng he identified the clnlhes found
ou the body ns those of his wlf". Al
most hysterical, he refused to view the
bodv, walling that he had loved her and
that the sight would unnerve him.
Token to tile ofllco of District At
torney Martin, ho recited to Assistant
District Attorney McLaughlin n ram
bling tnlo of his movements during tho
last week, nnd of his wife's strange dis
appearance. Own Story Implicates SchulU
It wns because of ihe sto'iy Schultz
told jestcrday thnt the order for the
detention of the two men was issued.
Thev were arraigned in tho Bergen
County Court nt Ilapkcnsack last night
ond held without bail. They went vol
untarily to New Jetsey.
Other development in the investiga
tion of what Is characterized by the po
lice as a "brutal crime, committed by a
man of extraordinary power," were:
The finding, by County Pliyslclnn
William B. Ogden, who pet formed the
autopsy, was that the young woman's
tirnnt hnd been "cut from ear to car
nnd the Jugular vein severed." Doctor
Ogden found evldcnee of a blow on tho

appeared so suddenly from their h?nc
had with hnr !5."i."0 in cash and six rings
iniued at ."51000. No jewelry and but
two quarters ana tiiree cents were lonnti
on the body.
Testimony of Otto Widmer. Schultz s
brother-in-law, cnbt what is said to
be a strange ilght on Schultz's visit
to his home. In Keyport. N. J., early
Monday morning, two dayB after the
disappearance of Mrs. Schultz. De
tails of Wldmcr's testimony were not
disclosed, although his htatement is
i held important dj inc. auuioriuus.
Identification or tne body was made
by Widmer. and of the clothes by Mrs.
Louis Friar, mother of nianche.
Assembling the testimony given by
Schultz, nnd its comparison with that
of Faulkner, his companion in the
Monday morning trip to Widmer s
home, although the inconsistencies
were witnneiu oy ..visisiani uwinci
Attorney McLaughlin, it was ludlcatcd
that the statements of tho two men
bomet lines were oddly nt variance.
Schultz's story was ns follows: He
married Blaticlie trier tnree nnu n unit
i years ago, when she wns just over
i bixteen years' old. In the main they
I Hved together amiably and he kept her
i fairly well supplied witn money, some

,ht lie was not to be included iu the

Mrs. Schultz stayed at home.

Hudson river. From the JerBey shore
they took the 11:01 train a minute
after midnight Sunday morning by New
York time for Keyport.
Schulti's story after thnt wns some
what confused. In Keyport, where they
arrived about 2 o'clock In tho morning,
he hoaTd a woman scream and asked if
it wns his wife. - A man who recognized
him told him no, It was his own sister,
whose son had Just died. After a time
he went to tho Widmer house, asked for
lUnnche nnd learned that her sister was
similarly curlquB as to hor where
abouts. Ho left at once nnd ho and Faulkner
walked to Matawan, ten wiles away,
hoping to catch n Main Line train.
There was none, nnd they went to sleep
on tho Htntlon platform, only to be dis
turbed by n negro porter. Karly In the
morning they got back to Now York.
Schultz searched several more hours,
then reported his wife's disappearance.
Faulkner's talc, according to Dis
trict Attorney Martin, differed In some
particulars from Schultz's, and
Hehultz's own was occasionally vague
and contradictory, though that might
well have been accounted for in a young
man of not very precise habits laboring
under strong emotion,
"As far ns Schulz is concerned, we
were unable to ascertain that he hod
any visible means of support," said As
sistant Prosecutor McCarthy. "He bus
not been working for some time. Mr.
Widmer told us that ho expected Schulz
dnd his wife at Keyport ou Hnturdny,

Warsaw, Aug. 27. Reports of no

army from the Pskoff-Dvlnsk area, in
Poland, continue with great persistence
and positlvencss. They arc credited in
British military circles, where It is be
lieved that the danger Is by no meant

the addition are Siberians, of the so

Berlin, Aug. 27. Russians in ever

Yesterday nnd today 00.000 Red troopi,
fleeing in disorganized fashion from the
Polish cnvnlry, crossed the border Into
East Prussia nil along the line from
Augustovo to Lomza. The Gorman
authorities succeeded in disarming ami
interning nt least .".0,000, but the re
mainder are roaming about the country
ut large.
Fantastic stories nre reaching Berlin
of the activities of these Russians, ttho
seem to be enjoying the fullest kind
of freedom with sympathetic attention
from the populntlon. Everywhere in
East Prussia they are to be found in
railway cars, cafes and hotels, talking
freely of the movements of the Red ar
mies, giving various reasons for the
Bolshevist retreat nnd boasting that
they yct-wlll lick the Poles.
Tho impression In official circles in
