The Seaforth News, 1960-05-12, Page 7Shark Swallowed Murder Clue After a desperate battle, two Sydney fishermen caught a four- teen -foot shark that had become entangled in their lines. Exhibit- ed in an aquarium, it refused food, and swam incessantly up tend down the pool. On the sec- ond day it suddently went bee'• serk and disgorged a human arm, tattooed with pictures of two boxers fighting!. The atm had been severed at the shoulder. A piece of rope was bound tightly round the wrist. The police made inquiries about missing men with tattoo marks on their arms, and even- tually the wife and brother of tone, a billiard -marker named James Smith, identified the limb as his, He had left home on April 8th that year, 19Sb, nine days before the shark was captured, saying he was going eishing with an- other man. The rope round the wrist made it unlikely that the arm had been bitten off, so the beaches and sea-bed in the local- ity were searched for other parts of the body—without result, The dissected body of the shark yielded nothing. At first the police thought Smith had committed suicide by tying a rope round his arms and body, weighting it with some heavy object, and leaping into the sea. Suspecting foul play, they interviewed associates of the dead man, but found no one who'd been fishing with him or even seen him set out for the day. The probability was that Smith had never gone fishing at all, but had gone to a certain seaside cottage with another man, for it was reported that a tin trunk and mattress had vanished from the cottage, and a rope and three mats from the owner's boat. If the ate.. had been bitten off by the shark while Smith was still alive, this would favour ac- cidental death or suicide. Sir Sydney Smith, famous Professor of Forensic Medicine at Edin- burgh University, happened to be in Sydney on a round -the - world trip at the time, so he was asked to examine the arm and give an opinion on this point. He found that it had been severed at the shoulder by a clean-cut incision, not bitten off. He went further. The condition of the blood and tissues suggest- ed that it had been amputated some hours after death. In a deeply absorbing account of his criminal cases—"Mostly Zurder"—tSir Sydney eoilclucles -that Smith was killed by his Companion in a quarrel, his body probably cut up in the cottage on the mattress and mats taken from the boat, and the parts placed in the tin trunk—except for the arm. Unable to get this into the packed trunk, the murderer at- tached it to the outside with the rope from the boat, tying one end of it round the wrist, The trunk, mattress and mats were then taken out to sea and dump- ed, but the arm worked loose and was swallowed by the shark. "What a queer series of coin- cidences it was that brought the crime to light!" Sir Sydney com- ments. "The trunk was just a little too small to take all the remains, and the only part of the body with a distinguishing mark was the part left out." This part worked loose, and was swallow- ed whole by the shark, and, out of the thousands of sharks that infest the beaches of Australia, that particular animal had to be caught alive. Further, that particular shark had to have a stomach upset and bring up the arm, thus provid- Ing the only clue. There was an arrest and mur- der charge, followed by formal hearings and adjournments pend- ing the inquest. But the Su- preme Court later decided an inquest could be held only if there was a body, and one limb talon was not enough; therefore a writ was issued stopping fur- ther proceedings. The accused man was committed for trial, released on bail, then acquitted.

When Big Jeff Tried To Come Back The vital spark was not there, Jim Jeffries, only the empty shell of the great fighter of seven years previous, was whip- ped by Jack Johnson at Reno, Nev., on July 4, 1910, before the most remarkable assemblage of sporting men ever gathered in the history of the game, John- son not only outclassed Jeffries, but actually played with the big white man as he played with little Tommy Burns and Stanley Ketchell. The end, while it came with the suddenness of a thunder- clap, was not a surprise, for it had been in plain sight from the fifth round, There could have been only one ending, and even the most rabid Jeffries enthu- siasts could not "kid" themselves into thinking that their man had e chance after the fifth round, It was not that Jim took much punishment, for the blows John- son landed were not enough to have beaten a man of ordinary vitality, but Jeffries did not dis- play a semblance of his old-time form. There were none of his short, determined rushes;, none of his trip-hammer blows to the body, and when, after the fifth round, Jack began man -handling le -Mies in the clinches, and eas- ily blocking any attempt at re- taliation, there was nothing to do but wait for the end of the fight. It must be remembered, how- ever, that Jim had not entered the ring since August 28, 1904, when he defeated Seek Munroe at San Franisco, Calif., in two rounds, and then retired as the undefeated heavyweight cham- pion. When Jack Johnson, finally ended up as titleholder, friends persuaded the once mighty Jim to make a comeback as the only "white hope" to regain the crown from the colored champion. Con- sequently, instead of the old Jeffries, one saw a man who ducked and clinched and fum- bled away with both hands in the clinches, while Johnson sys- tematically and methodically whipped up either hand to the face, bringing the blood in streams. When Jeffries carne out of his corner to begin the fifteenth it was only necessary to take one look at Jim Corbett's face at the right, Jeffries shuffled into a clinch. There was nothing about his leg action to indicate that he was groggy, but he seemed tired and his face, over Johnson's shoul- der, was a picture of defeat. The fight eye was closed to a blue slit in the puffed flesh; the left eye was swollen, the nose was split and blood was trickling. from the lips. Many a time Jeffries had tak- en more punishment and won his fights. It was the expression on his face which made it plain that he was at the end of his string. Johnson came up swiftly, his lips parted and his eyes shifting from side to side. There was no smile on his face and he forgot to nod to his friends at the ring- side, Once he led with his left and the two men cane togther, locking arms in a clinch. Jeffries. hung on for a few seconds and then disentangled himself, back- ing slowly away toward the west side of the ring and toward his own corner, Johnson follow- ing with left extended. Again the men clinched and this time Jeffries came to a halt with the upper rope across his baclr. This time it was Johnson who broke from the clinch, and as he did so he drove his right to the body, following it imme- diately with a left to the point of the chin. Jeffries' hands drop- ped at his sides and he bent double, slowly collapsing to a sitting position. He tried to rise but fell over backward half in and half out of the ring, his legs over the lower rope, 'The thing came so swiftly that. it took the crowd by surprise and there was no noise, except the noise by the thousands rising in their seats. A thin, scattering cheer from the bleacher seats was not sufficient to drown the voice of Timekeeper George Harting. Jack Jeffries moved over, and placing his arms under hie brother's shoulder, helped - him back into the ring. Jeffries was helpless and staggering, and just as his knees cleared the floor, Johnson stepped forward to deliver a right to the jaw, but. Tex Rickard pushed Jack aside. Jeffries swayed over toward his corner, and Johnson stepped in with a deliberate jaw punch, which sent the white man to the floor. Jeffries lurched to his feet just at the count of ten, and as he raised himself from the floor he spat out a great mouthful of blood. The last blind instinct of the fighting animal' warned Jef- fries to clinch and he hung on With what little strength he had left, while Johnson mauled him clear across the ring That was the end of Jim, Tex Rickard stepped between the fighters and stopped the bout. "In a few years," said the artist to his landlord, "people will look at this miserable studio and say: 'Janes, the famous artist, used to work here,' ". "If I don't get the rent by tonight, they'll be able to say that very thing by tomorrow," said the landlord.
