Abortionist, Lover Facing Murder Count NEW YORK (IP> — Police questioned garbage haulers and trash disposal workers today in a search for parts of the dismembered body of Jacqueline Smith who died Christmas Eve at the hands of an abortionist hired by her lover. Chances were slim that any trace of the pretty, 20-year-old fabric de signer would be found but the dis trict attorney’s office said the body was not essential to prosecution of homicide charge against Thomas G. Daniel, 24, the girl’s lover, and Leo Pijuan, 46, the accused abort ionist. District Attorney Frank Hogan said Pijuan admitted performing an unsuccessful Christmas Eve abortion on the girl In Daniel’s apartment. Daniel, who had called the hospital orderly to perform the illegal operation, rendered “some little assistance,” Hogan said. BODY CUT INTO PIECES The girl, who had been living with Daniel and was six wefeks pregnant, died during the operation and the panic-stricken pair cut up her body into small pieces, wrap ping them in gay Christmas wrap ping paper and distributing them in various trash baskets, Hogan said. The dismembered body probably was consumed by the intense flames of the city garbage disposal plant, authorities said, but workers were 'questioned in the hope one of thten may have seen one of the grisly packages or that one of the pieces may have been missed in routine trash pickups. Authorities planned to base their case on the testimony of a Mexi can doctor, an exchange intern at a New York hospital, who was called to Daniel’s apartment after the girl died during the operation The doctor, Ramiro Morales. 26, tried to revive the girl but was unable to do so and pronounced her dead. Unfamiliar with local laws he then left and did not re port the case. Morales was booked as a material witness but was re leased in police custody. Police said he was cooperating with their investigation. Miss Smith, a pretty Lebanon, Pa., girl who came to New York to work as a fabric designer, shared an apartment with two other girls but had been living with Daniel for several months, Hogan said.
