The CHASTITY work o; a 81. Louis murderer or
a dissecting student was the terrible revelation
Yesterday morning in the baggage depot at
Quincy. Ills. A white man was chopped to
pieces and jammed into an old soap box. This
had been shipped from the Union depot in St.
LOUIS as baggage. 1t was only about three feet
in length and about one foot in depth. When
~ reached Quincy, Baggage Man W. Z. Kendall
detected foul odor coming from the box but
thought IL contained some game that had
spoiled. No one called for the box. and Sun
dsy morning toe stencil became SO strong that
few people dared venture near it. Finally Mr.
Kendall opened the box and the discovery was
made as above stated
At the Union depot at st. Louis 1t is stated that
two Young men, dressed in the height of STYLE.
checked this box to Quincy and a similar one
TO a small town on the Missouri Pacific railway.
The railroad people think il IL the worn OF two
medical students who wanted TO take their sub-
iects home. Up TO last night the body at Quincy
had not been called for. The police think il
hardly probable that student would take such
gbas.ly objects home with him and possible
murder lie thought 20 be at the bottom OF il.
Coroner Ryan held An inquest over the BODY
% the woman found in a trunk at the DEPOT
saturday. When the testimony was being taken
{. y. FrErae medical student OF Gilead. No.
appeared and claimed the body He proved
his right to il and was told by the coroner he
could have II upon payment Of the inquest.
