SECRET CRIMES.
As two men were rowing along the East
River off Twenty-eighth Street the other
evening, large steamer stirred mp the
waters aud revealed the body OF a woman,
which the two men secured.
The body OF boy about eight years of
age was tied to the woman's right foot
while around her LETT arm was Il rope the
end of which held pieces OF flesh, indca-
ting that still another body had been
fastened TO her. The woman's face showed
the marks OF some dreadful struggle. A
woman In the crowd which gathered on the
wharf claimed to recognize the dead as
one whom she had seen sitting Oh the
wharf near where the BODY was picked NJ.
and nothing more seems to be known OF
the horrible mystery. This ease naturally
suggests the many eases which 20 unwit-
messed and often undetected in this great
city. The body of the woman was held
down by weight of stones and nothing
but the churning OF the wheels of great
steamer could have lifted il to the surface.
The tying OF the two dead bodies together
aud the preparation OF the weight show,
great deal of elaboration. There was a
terrible struggle for the woman's face
clearly shows that. and yet no ouicry
testified to. and the deliberate preparations
| To conceal the murder, and the throwing
the bodies from the wharf, all unwlucsscd.
