Fort Wayne Basgagemsn Unable to Furn.
ish Any Reliable CIew.

CHICAGO May The employees in the Pitts
burg. Fort Wayne and Chicago Railway Baggage
room at the Union Depot can furnish no ceW that
promises TO lead 10 the Identification OF the per-
son OF persons who shipped the trunk containing
sdead body 10 Pitisburg. One OF the baggagemen
said: I'VE check so many trunks here every day
that II would be simply impossible for Us to re-
member anything concerning them or the person
to whom they belong, unless there should be
something unusual happen at the time to attract
our attention. An ordinary man weighs from $50
to $50 pounds and bis body could be packed in a
trunk very easily. AS we handle many trunks
that contain baggage weighing from $50 to 200
pounds. we could not have our suspicious aroused
because the trunk seemed heavy. OF course, If a
fould odor was emitted from it. we would con-
elude that IL contained corpse. and would call
the attention OF the authorities TO IL. All know
about the trunk in question is that II left here st
1915 O'Clock yesterday afternoon on the regular
passenger train, and was checked through to
PittsbuTg. 1t was an ordinary packing trunk
one OF our men thinks IL was brought here in an
express wsgon before noon by three Italians aud
that II was the first trunk checked for the 3:l5
