MURDER CONFESSED
AN EXTRAORDINARY CASE, ' (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) LONDON, Sept. 23. A case that is said to be without a parallel in English law, was heard before a Bow Street Magistrate, when Albert Lord, aged 29 years, was accused of murdering an unknown woman, by throwing her. over Waterloo Bridge into the Thames. He was discharged. j Lord surrendered to the police saying that he had met a woman named Rose. They had walked to Waterloo Bridge together, where they quarrelled, and he threw her over the parapet into the river. No body was found, and no one named Rose has been reported missing. The Public Prosecutor outlined cases where a conviction for murder had been recorded though no body had been found. One was when the captain of a ship was thrown overboard by a sailor, and the body disappeared ih the currents, but the sailor was convicted, because he was seen struggling with the captain. The Prosecutor stated that if the Magistrate did not commit him, Lord could be re-arrested in the event of a body being recovered.
