MYSTERIOUS MURDER.
A Rival to the Famous Trunk
Tragedy.
THE BODY OF WOMAN FOUND IN
A VAULT AT LOWELL.

LOWELL, Mass, April ia tragic mystery
bidding fair to rival in horror that of the
trunk tragedy at Lynn was unearthed in this
city this afternoon. 1t has been kept quiet to
afford the police chance for investigation be-
fore publicity should be given, but the follow
ing facts have been ascertained: Loring
tion of ashes, dirt and debris in a yault in the
rear OF Appleton street which had been I'M
used for about two years. After proceeding to
some depth he exhumed the partially decayed
body OF woman entire but for loss of con-
siderable flesh and having long hair discon.
nected from the skull. The vault is attached
to the dwelling OF two prominent citizens both
OF whom have held numerous public offices
and whose names for obvious reasons it would
be unpleasant to publish in this connection.
AS the vault can be opened from narrow
alley running between Appleton and Winter
streets the theory prevails that the body was
brought there surreptitiously and deposited to
conceal crime. A medical examiner will
make investigation and the police are working
up the case.
