filed to the brim with fragments OF q hu-
man body. cut into pieces not morethan
two or three inches in length. At the
side Of tho bed was q large pine chest
dyed in every part with blood as though
q bleeding body had been hastily
jsmmed into II. In a common thick
leather travelling trunk was found anoth-
or portion OF mutilatsd body, strips
OF fesh and pieces Of skin. In
another part Of the chamber was . large
tin wash boiler nearly filled with parts Of
a mans limbs and pieces Of arms, legs,
hands and feet. In the midst Of these
remains was the trunk Of the body, the
ribs stripped clean Of skin and flesh.
