PAGE SIX THE BROWNSVILLE HERALtt MONDAY, OCTOBER as, SCIENCE AND WOMAN SOLVE WE SLAYING CHIOAG'O, Oct. 23. (ff)--Science --and a woman--combined, the police said today, to bring a denouement to Edward J. McCann's 'per- feet slaying and dismemberment of his wife, Luarier, in Detroit, Mich. McCann, described by authorities as a former operator of Detroit liquor flat and by his friends there as an amateur student of criminology, was arrested yesterday, and confessed.

Police Sergeant James Fitzgerald said. Throug-h Finger Prints Science entered the investigation by establishing the identity of Mrs. McCann through finger prints, despite the fact her body was cut to pieces. The woman who helped the police was Mrs. Loretta Hlckman's McCann's sister-in-law.

The recognized McCann as he stood in front of a relief station, last Friday. She and her husband, Harry, notified the authorities, but McCann disappeared before they arrived. Yesterday Mrs. Hickman saw him again, and his arrest followed. "Well," McCann was quotyi by police as saying, "I didn't aiink they'd ever catch me.

I didn't count on those finger prints because I didn't know about them." The finger prints were taken in 1922 when Mrs. McCann encountered difficulty with the Immigration Bureau in entering the United States from Canada. Slain hi Stepember McCann said that he slew his wife early on the morning of last September 1, after quarreling with her over her fondness for liquor. When he struck her she attempted to fight back, he said so he choked her and smothered her with a pillow. Twelve hours later, Hickman and his wife, arrived at the McCann home for a visit.

"Laurier?" McCann was quoted as saying. "Too bad you missed her, She just went to Chicago to the world's fair. The Hickmans returned to Chicago, and McCann then went ahead with attempts to prevent identification of the body, he said, by cutting it to pieces with a knife. Some parts of the body were found in various parts of Detroit. Iceland's Dry Laws Are Declared Doomed REYKJAVIK, Iceland, Oct.

Nazi-ism Enters Mayoral Campaign Through -O'Brien NEW YORK, Oct.

The boisterous progress of New York City's rough and ready mayoral campaign, already accelerated by anti-semitism charges and national political ramifications, ran up against Nazi-ism today. Mayor John P. O'Brien, Tammany candidate, has acted in his official capacity to order cancellation of a ARMS PARLEY DELAY SEEN GENEVA, Oct. iate adjournment may be voted when the world disarmament conference is reconvened Oct. 26 after the ten-day recess.

This was indicated strongly today in international circles where many believe a longer period is needed to permit of a calming of spirits. Also, it is said, coventrate on nations need to grave economic problems confronting them before returning to the council tables. Meanwhile, in direct opposition to earlier views, the opinion seemed to be spreading that it might be wise to encourage a FrSnco- German economic accord. This might open a road to eventual agreement on disarmament, IL is srgued. With tension apparently slackening in Europe during the recess called after Germany's withdrawal from the parley, many here now view with far greater concern the situation in the Far East.
