DISCOVERY OF ANCIENT
WALL AGAIN INVOLVES
HOLY SEPULCHRE SITE
JERUSALEM, Aug. 7. (/P)—Part of
the wall enclosing Jerusalem built
by Agrippa, one of the last Jewish
kings, and destroyed by Titus, has
been unearthed recently. About 60
yards- of the wall, some four yards in
thickness, have been uncovered by
the Jewish exploration Society.
This discovery has aroused deep
interest in archeological and religious
circles. If this is the third of the
series of walls built around Jerusa
lem, it is argued, it brings into ques
tion the authenticity of the site of
the Holy Sepulchre, which is thus
placed outside the city walls.
The third wall was commenced by
Herod Agrippa about 40-44 A. D. and
was interrupted by the Roman gov
ernment of Syria, to be completed
later by the Jews before the final
seige of the city. By all accounts
there were three walls which protect
ed Jerusalem on the north, built
successively both for the protec
tion of the weakest side of the de
fences and to afford room for the
steady growth of the city at the be
ginning of the Christian era. Both
•he first and second walls were
standing at the time of Christ and
the place of crucifixion and burial
must have been outside them.
Some scholars have contended that
the site of the Holy Sepulchre is im
possible because it is shut within an
cient Jerusalem, it being known that
crucifixions did not take place with
in the city walls. Adherents of this
view, especially a large number of
the English community, who have
always entertained doubts about the
location of the Holy Sepulchre, see
further confirmation in the discov
ery of what is believed to be the
third wall.
The Jewish Exploration Society,
which is conducting these excava
tions, holds with Dr. W. F. Albright,
Director of the American School
of Oriental Research here, that the
discovery of the Agrippan wall does
not seriously affect “this long smol
dering question.” Dr. Albright ad
mits that the situation is awkward.
“Shall we decide for the Holy Sep
ulchre and against the evidence, or
against the Holy Sepulchre and also
against other evidence of little less
cogency?” Dr. Albright ask. “Neither
horn of the dilemma is necessary.
The present north wall of the city
dates back only to Hadrian’s time
and represents a wholly new line of
wall. We are forced to the convic
tion that archeology rarely affects
the question of holy sites. The lo
cation of the Holy Sepulchre will re
main just as certain or just as ob
scure as it is today.”
Along with this discovery there
has been unearthed a mosaic be
According to the Greek inscription
longing to the late Byzantine period,
on the mosaic this was the tomb of
a nun, near which there was also
apparently a small Christian chapel.

Searchers Find Body
of John Newman
Cordova.—Word has just been re
ceived here to the effect that the
body of John Newman, who disap
peared about six weeks ago, on Dan
Creek, and for whom a systematic
search has been maintained, had
been located on a bar in the stream.
The man was killed by a bear. The
Marshal at McCarthy went out af
ter the body.
Newman had made his home in
McCarthy, and had worked at both
the Green Butte and Kennecott. Re
cently he had been doing assess
ment work on copper claims at the
head of Dan Creek. He had been
washing dishes on the creek bank,
apparently, when a bear came to the
cabin and attacked him. After the
struggle the man dragged himself to
the house and laid down on his bed,
soaking the pillow and coverings
with blood. Later he started for
camp to obtain help, but apparent
ly succumbed on the trail.
Escaping naked from an asylum,
at Brentwood, England, a maniac
stopped several automobiles and de
manded to be taken for a ride.
