CHILD KILLED AND BOILED.
Deed of Maniac that Is Puzzling New
York Police officials.

NEW YORK, March 20-The latest mys-
terry in Hells Kitchen is partially solved
The half-boiled and shockingly mutiated
trunk found in coal bin Sunday night is
probably that OF Susan Martin, aged eleven.
who has been missing from home since the
afternoon of Nov s. To-day the clothing
wrapped around the body was positively
identified by Mrs. Martin as that of her
daughter Susan. Further than this the
mystery has not yet been unraveled DR.
Cyrus Edison after an examination of the
body, Is positive ii was boiled not more
than fifteen minutes. He says the crime
was that of a maniac The next thing is to
find the cauldron into which the murderer
plunged the body after clumsily cutting off
the head arms, legs and all that portion of
the trunk below the kidneys. This was not
the work of an expert, but of some one
who, for some reason, wanted TO reduce
the size of the corpse to be concealed. 1t
ought not to be a very difficult task to
trace out the atrocity with so clear a cleW
as that afforded by the boiling The po-
lice are at work, but so far report no dis
coveries They profess to believe the body
was boiled in one of the slaughter houses
of the region where Susan Martin used TO
go with other children to beg for bits of
meat. She was the child of poor parents

from specific to ad valorem duties
Mr.. Manderson inquired whether there
was TO be any written report accompanying
the bill
There is not" said Mr.. Voorhees,. en-
phatically.
''WilI there be any statement?" asked
There will be when the bill is called

Mr.. Allison suggested the advisabiity OF
having the bill printed in pamphlet form,

the changes made by the House and the
committee and Mr. Voorhees, said he
thought that could be done
Mr.. Hoar inquired how the report could

so you expect the Wilson bill to re-

Why. certainly; of course it must.
