NEW IoRK's MYSTERY DEEPENs
stsry of the Disme bered Body aud Its
Various Distributioo.
New York, July "a mans head is
needed TO solve the first act in mys-
ferrous tragedy-the most mysterious
Tragedy New York has had in many a
part Of human trunk, found in the riv-
er at the foot of Eleventh street There
| is on the same slab second section of a
msn's body. There is also a pair OF legs
and feet. the jagged edges Of the upper
ends fitting accurately into the hacked
extremity of the trunk This last sec
ton was fished--from the river at the
Brooklyn navy yards. The three pu: TO-
gether make the frame of a msn-minus
the head. The head will name the man.
The naming Of the man will settle the
beginning Of the mystery.
1t is insisted by the police that the
chopped fragments are the remains OF
William Guldensuppe. 1t is the theory
OF the slueths that Guldensuppe was
murdered in jealousy. They have found
that the nan-in case rhe dismembered
chunks Of flesh stand for him-may have
been killed in revenge. slaughtered by
his successor or predecessor in the love
ee6e q woman and chopped into pieces to
satisfy a fiendish determination 10 in
flict a fiji punishment. They have also
found that a woman's frantic hatred for
the man who deserted her for another
woman may have been the cause OF the
frightful work. This is where the mys-
terry sta nds. and where il will probably
stand until some dark corner OF water
or land shall surrender its grewsoma
share 20 the solution OF the horror.
II is likely there has never happened
in the country crime which had more
mystery than this one. Il came 10 light
about a week ago when some boys.
swimming in the river. saw a package a
short distance from the shore. They
reached il and hauled Ii upon che stones
and drift at the foot Of the street Il
was tied up with ropes, wound and re-
wound around il, and fastened in the
hardest sort Of knots. The boys dug in
to the bundle and after removing a big
roll Of retd oil cloth came upon a human
form with the head missing and the legs
hacked off. There was a cut in the
breast, a place where a slice had been
cut 10 destroy some mark that the man
might have had tasrooed upon his skin.
The policeman on the beat was called
and he ordered the mass of flesh taken
10 the morgue. 1t was examined criti-
cally at this place, and Il was found that
from top to bottom there were marks Of
a knife or dagger. New York's police
force were aroused to their besr end%a-
vor. The signs Of terrible tragedy
sifone in every portion of the burden
which had dristed from its hiding place
10 the open stream. IL was expected
that other portions o: the trunk would
float out toward the open sea- and all
the men along the coast kept an eye op-
en- for a bundle with red oilclo:n.
