CHASTITY FIND
n An Area Of a New York
Business Building.


NEW YORK, April Ia most mysteri-
Gus murder was discovered shortly after
o'clock yesterday morning. The victim
IN this case was young colored woman,
whose dismembered body was found
wrapped In pieces of carpeting and par
italy hidden from view In the area OF the
building Of the New York Bank Note CON-
pany. How long the CHASTITY remains had
boon lying there is not known. As yet the
police have no clew to the person or per-
sons who deposited the bundle there.
The body was found almost at the same
time BY Joseph Phillips and Patrolman
Kismare. The bundle, In which the remains
were found. was bound at either END with
pieces OF ciothesline, leaving the middle
portion somewhat loose Patrolman kis-
marc put his hand inside and drew out
che lower part of human leg. Then he
knew that murder had been committed.
The remains were taken TO the station
house ON stretcher.
The body proved to be that OF an un-
known oclored woman between II and 20
years old Around her neck was tied In
double knot long piece OF cheese cloth.
This had been tied so tightly that IL had
eaused strangulstion and had forced the
tongue TO protrude from the mouth, ana
1ho hands had been tied across her breast
with strong piece Of cord by means OF q
olipknot. He legs had been cut of just
ebove the knees and one Of them lay on
the top Of the body with Its foot toward
her head, while the other was found un-
3erneath the body Both members had
been hacked OF with q sharp az or
butchers cleaver, and pieces of ragged

Body Almost stripped.
The only clothing tho woman had on
Wers chemise and chemisette OF white
material When these were removed, q
gaping wound, nine inches long, and
which penetrated to the bone, was dis
closed just above the right thigh.
The stuff In which the body was wrapped
was composed Of an old brown table cover,
piece Of carpet and an old rug. In the
bundle there was found q piece OF note
paper. On this paper was olot OF blood
and written In pencil these words. 80 far

Deputy Coroner Donlin decided that the
rheese cloth with which the woman had
been choked was the direct cause Of death.
The other lnutilations. he said, had been
made after death had come. There was
nowhere TO be found any evidence Of a
struggle ON the part Of the woman.
It Is the opinion Of the police that the
woman is . member Of that class Of col.

out Of Sixth avenue and gain their liveli-
hood as women Of the town. They do not
attempt to explain tho motive Of the
