A MURDER MYSTERY,
AN ATROCIOUs CRIME DISCOVERED
IN NEW YORK.
COlOred Woman, Wrapped in
Pieces of Carpeting, Is Found In
Bank Area ON u Prominent
Street,

New York, April 2. One of the
most mysterious murders committed
in this city since the mutilated body
Of old shakespeare" was found in a
low resort near the East river front,
for whose butchery the Algerian
"Frenchy" is now serving life SEN
tence was discovered shortly after
q. m. The victim in this case was a
young colored woman whose dismem-
bercd body was found wrapped In
pieces Of carpeting and partially hid
den from view in the area of the
building Of the New York Bank COM
pany on the southwest corner Of Sixth
the CHASTITY remains had been lying
have no clue to the person or persons
who deposited the body there. I'm
mediately upon the discovery Of the
crime the police Of the central Office
were notified and half-dozen of the
best detectives were detailed to faith
ON the mystery if possible. The body
was found at almost the same time
by two men. One of these was Jo-
seph Phillips; a young electrician, and
the other, Patrolman Edward S. Kas-
{, H..
The bundle in which the remains We're
found was bound at each end with
pieces Of clothes line, leaving the mid
die portion somewhat loose. Around
her neck was tied in a double knot a
long piece Of cheese cloth. This had
been tied SO tightly that it had caused
strangulation and had forced the
tongue to protrude from the mouth
This had been tied across her breast
with strong piece Of cord by means
OF slip-knot. Her legs had been cut
off just above the knees and one OF
them lay on the top of the body with
it's foot toward her head, while the
other was found underneath the body
Both members had been hacked Off
with sharp ak or butchers cleav-
er, pieces of ragged skin and flesh
hanging from the dismembered legs.
The only clothing the woman had On
were a chemise and chemisette Of
white material. When these were re-
moved a gaping wound, nine inches
long, and which penetrated to the
bone, were disclosed just above the
right thigh. In the bundle there was
found a piece of note paper. On this
paper was clot of blood, and written
in pencil were these words, so far as
they could be made out:
March %, Railway, N. j. James
Tor Jane) E. Surindell. Railway. N. J."
Beneath was the word ''Solomon" and
also the word Brother" while the
word ditto" was written between
them.
1t is the opinion Of the police that
the woman IS 4 member of that class
Of colored women who live on streets
running out of Sixth avenue and gain
their livelihood as women of the
town. They make no attempt to eX-
plain the motive for the crime The
police of the city sent to Railway to
find if any one of the name of Surin-
dell, the name which appeared on the
piece of note paper found with the
body, lived in Railway, N. J. No one
Of that name could be found in the
town
