STILL A DEEP MYSTERY.
THE HISTORY OF THE MANGLED TRUNK
NOT YET KNOWN.
A PERMIT TO BURY IT AS THE SUPPOSED
BODY OF SUSAN MARTIN HAS BEEN
IssUED-CHINEsE LAUNDRIEs BEING
INVESTIGATED.

INVESTIGATED.
The Headquarters detectives and Twentieth Pre-
cnct police engaged in hunting the murderer Of
little Susan Martin yesterday further than
ever from a solution OF the mystery. AS day after
dav passes the trail grows colder They have not
given up the belief that the murder perpe-
trated by Chinaman. and laundrles by the score
have been visited. Traces of ammonia found on the
clothing OF the child suggests that the boiling
process WAS accomplished in laundry, and this
fact made the detectives more than ever arduouS
in their search. But the presence of ammonia also
suggests that the buchery was accomplished by a
woman. From the first the detectives have ignored
one tangible. ncontrovertibie circumstance. This
IS that the hiding of the trunk could have been
compishei only by a person who knew the building
thoroughly. and knew something Of the habits Of
those living in the house. and just what time 1t
would be safe for him or for her to venture inside
