MYSTERY IN A TRUNK.

Blood Runs From Ii in . Terminal
Car.
The Mystery OF a Hanson Cab was
discounted in this city yesterday by the
mystery trunk-s plain, black, every
day trunk. There was mystery enough
in that one trunk to have filled ware
house, and the story OF how the mystery
was solved forms q strange tale of crime.
The trunk was put aboard q Terminal
train at Pasadena in the morning, and
at that time there were no suspicious
circumstances connected with it, nor
anything to indicate that q great crime
had been committed.
more surprised man. then, never
existed than Conductor Haggin when he
discovered that all the way from
Pasadena blood had been oozing
through the bottom OF the trunk,
and formed small crimson pools UNDER
meath, while little streams of the grue-
come fluid trickled out on the floor.
Conductor Haggin's eyes bulged out so
that an SIS overcoat might have been
hung on each one OF them. Terrible
thoughts ran through his mind in rapid
course. Spellbound he stood and gazed

the trunk, inside OF which a mystery
awful and dark lay hidden. There was
nothing to tell the tale Of infamy cave
the tloodstains on the car floor, but
there they were speaking mutely of
crime that needed yet to be revealed.
His fret impulse was to pry open the
trunk and know the awful thing at once
himself, but he was alone in the car
alone with An overwhelming mystery,
and his senses revolted at the thought.
He thought OF better plan. Summon
ing an assistant, he silently pointed to
the evidence go plainly disclosed. and
told the man to watch. Then he tele-
phoned for help.
Detectives and newspaper men re-
sponded. They gathered around the
trunk, and even the faces OF those men,
hardened as they are in years OF dealing
with crime OF every nature. paled at the
sight. 1t was come minutes before they
could act with any degree of unanimity,
and then they opened the trunk.
The trunk contained lot OF canned
fruit and two jars of raspberry jam;
the fruit had worked" and the juice
went through the bottom of the trunk.
Conductor Haggin will probably be
able to take out his regular train today.
