GULDENsUPPE's HEAD AGAIN.
Part of Plaster Cast Inclosine 1t He
Iieved to Have Dccn Found.

tNeW \ DIX JIlDune, zVtn.D
What may possibly be the remains or
the plaster of paris cast in which the
head of the murdered Turkish-bath rub
Der, William Guldensuppe, was Enclosed,
were found yesterday i'm a swamp pool
few hundred yards from the cottage IN
which IL is alleged he was killed and cut
10 pieces by Martin Thorn. The fragments
of the supposed cast are now In the keep
ing Of Coroner Haslam Of NeWtown, and
to-day the little pool will be dragged for
the remains of the head. which the Coro-
ner thinks may be resting in thee mud
at the bottom. With the fragments or
plaster were found pair of stained over
alls and a piece of carpet. This carpet
people living near assert, lay for some
time in the yard of the cottage around
which the murder mystery revolyes.
The plaster fragments seem 10 show I'M
pressions of "A nose and an ear. To the
top of one fragment there are some light
colored hairs attached. There are six
pieces of, plaster, and all appear 10 be
parts of a whole cast. The largest piece
is that which bears the impress of the
nose. The pieces were found wrapped IN
the overalls. and partly adhered TO the
cloth. The find was made by Lizzie Nun
heimer. years old. She lives with her
mother a short distance from the cottage
been killed, The child saw the bundle
several days ago, and yesterday told her
mother what 1t contained.
The discovery has created a sensation
In Woodside. and there are many theories
as to the ways in which the ball inclosing
the head might have been broken. one is
that the plaster may not have been etirely
dry in some places, and so absorbed the
water. 1t may be added that there is also
a strong probability that some person de-
string TO create a sensation placed the
pieces of plaster where they were found.
The Coroner, however, considers the dis
covery Of sufficient Importance to warrant
a careful investigation.
Last night force Of ten men began to
drag the pool with rakes and hoes, in an
endeavor TO find the head and other pieces
of the plaster. Coroner Haslam wrapped
in IN big ulster and with his feet encased
I'm heavy rubber shoes kept careful watch
on the men, and examined every object
their raking drew out of the water.
