TODY FOUND IN A TRUNK
CHASTITY ard GruesOme Discovery ut
Chicago Auction sale.

CHASTITY ard Gruesome Discovery ut a
Chicago Auction sale.
Chicago. Ill, March 26-The badly
decompOsed body of an unknown man
was found today in a trunk brought al
an auction in Wakem & Mclaughlin 5
warehouse at 500 North Water street.
The auction was the regular disposal OF
unredeemed property and many curious
purchasers were on hand The sale was
almost over when a large rough box
was dragged out and offered. Bids
were made and the box was knocked
down to two men from the suburb or
Austin-Phillip Grief and Charles Haas.
Inside was a square trunk which was
broken open, disclosing the badly de-
composed body of a man.
AS soon as the discovery was made the
men commenced to search for some
thing that would indicate where the
box had come from. or by whom it had
been owned. On the top was written
&C. NJ Morgan. 166 Jefferson Court.
Chicago" Nothing else was found TO
establish former ownership.
J. Wallace Wakem, the senior mem
Der of the warehouse firm, said tonight
that the trunk had come 70 the auction
room with other uncalled-for baggage
sent to be sold.
81 think" he said. "the box was sent
us by the Michigan Central Railroad
company. They sent us a lot of bag
gage a year ago, and the box, If 1 re-
member correctly, was included
The police have taken up the matter,
but there seems to be little chance or
their doing anything with the case. As
far as can be judged the body is thac
of man between 40 and 80 years OF
age, and of medium height.
At the address given on the box Mrs.
McNIullen reside at the present time.
She said tonight that she knew nothing
of the box or OF G. NJ Morgan to whom
il was addressed. She said that some
day in the early part of the present week
an expressman came TO her house ask
ing for Morgan. He had large box
in the wagon and said he had been hunt
ing for Mr. Morgan all day but had been
una bic to find him. The police are now
looking for the eXpressman in order TO
get hold Of this second box II possible.
The care with which the body was
packed practically precluds the IDEA
that IL was a corpse sent out from some
medical college. When the box was
broken open a cheap medium sized
trunk of green canvas was displayed.
Between the box and trunk the inter
vening space was filed with sawdust
and several wrappings Of white oil
cloth. When the lid of the trunk was
raised another thick layer Of oil cloth
was disclosed. covering a square zinc
box and in this the remains were
packed

Murphy, who has been one of the report

his work was never questioned. His
acquaintance with public men was very
extensive, and with many of them he
held confidential relations. In 1875 at
the unanimous request of the electoral
commission, he reported without any as
sistance the sittings of that body. For
the last three years Mr.. Murphy has
