A Mans Arm Found.

On Thursday the left arm from the elbow
down of man was found in the closet of a
basement lager beer saloon at No. 100
Prince street, New York, by the bar tender,
Charles Lieman. The arm had some flesh
on it, and looked as if it had lain where it
was found for about two months. The
hand protruded from large rat hole which
led to cellar. The limb was sent 10 Capt.
Williams, of the Eighth presinct,
by the proprietor of the saloon, William
HEIGHT. The Captain made every search,
but could find no traces of the body
belonging to the arm. He learned,
however, that the present proprietor only
moved into the saloon six weeks ago, and
the closet in question was not opened until
yesterday. The previous occupants of the
premises were engaged in the business of
sausage manufacturing. The arm was
sent to the Morgue.

This ring was taken by confederate sol

recently the former brought it to jeweler
