Meager CleWS Upon
Which the Detectives
Have to Work.
Portions of the Victims Body
Boiled in Order to Pre-
vent Identification.
Those Who Committed the Afro
cious Crime We're Evidently
Skilled In Surgery.

NEW YORK, \. Y, June 2S.-The muT-
der of the man, part of whose body was
found in East River Saturday and an
o her part near Washington bridge Sun
day with the head, part OF the breast ana
legs still missing, presents to the police a
mystery as difficult to unravel as any in
the history of crime in New York. Be-
sides portions of the body there is a
broken finger nail and strip of oil cloth
for the detectives to work on. The nail is
similar to that on the hands OF hundreds
of men, and the strip of oil cloth is kind
sold in every dry-goods store in the city.
These are absolutely the only clews and
the nnding of needle in a haystack
seems a comparatively easy task to the
running down of unknown murd erers OF
unidentified man with such slight clews
As if frightful mutilation was not enough
fresh horror was added TO the case to-day
by the discovery that at least part of the
body had been placed in boiling water,
probably with the idea of destroying it,
and that fact suggested the equally horri-
bic probability that the missing head had
been similarly treated in order to make
identification impossible.
Sunday morning Deputy Coroner O'Han-
body, and said it was almost certain the
man had not been dead m ore than twenty
four hours. This would make the killing
not earlier than II o clock Saturday, which
was only few hours before the first part
OF the body was discovered in the water.
There was a stab wound through the
heart. The autopsy showed conclusiyely
that this stab had killed the man. This
was proved by the condition of the lungs
II he had died slowly there would have
been no air there. The. deputy Coroner
said his examination convinced him the
man was a Hebrew. His examination OF
the thumbs, ne said, made him think the
man had been employed at some work
that required the use of needle.
But more interesting than all was the
doctors statement that the person who
had done e cutting was we'll versed in
anatomy and had more than ordinary
intelligence. Superintendent Murphy of
Bellevue Hospital, who was present st
the autopsy, said: "The person who did
1t knew great deal more about anatomy
than an ordinary medical college stu
dent"
To this the deputy Coroner added:
This is a case of cold -blooded murder
1t can be nothing e.se. The wound in the
heart is what caused death. He was a
strong man physically, and healthy in
every part. He weighed between 100 and
10 pounds in life, and the autopsy has
shoWn absolutely nothing that would
cause death except this wound. The au-
topsy also showed that a piece of flesh
cut out of the breast, which likely
contained some mark that might have
led to Identification, was removed after
the body had been cut in two. l could
not have done the thing myself. used as l
am to performing autopsies, in less than
three-quarters of an hour"

and cheers, with the futtering of hun

many a hasty word OF good-by the first
train containing the delegates to the au-

held at San Francisco rolled out OF the
Boston and Albany station at 2:10 o'clock
this afternoon. 1t was an enthusiastic
crowd that gathered to see the delegates
off. Long before the scheduled time for
leaving the station began to take on an
unusual appearance Everybody couIi
see that something out of the ordinary
was going on. About 2 o'clock the en-
trance to the farmhouse became so
crowded that it was with difficulty that
the delegates could force a passage. There
were hasty greetings, a few words of part
ing. and then they hurried on to find
their respective positions IN the various
cars. Many Of the delegates wore little
gold badges, and the regulation Christian
Endeavor pin was seen on every hand.
In the first section there were eight cars
stretching far out of the farmhouse. Al
the end of each car Christian Endeavor
flags were hung, which added their bright
ness to the picturesqueness OF the scene.

About . o'clock President Francis z.
Clark. accompanied by Mrs. Clark, came
through the crowd and was warmly greet

one of the forward cars. Secretary Baer
was not far behind. President Clark was
the last 20 board the train, just as it start
ed. On every step young Endeavorer
stood waving g banner, and a cheer went
up as the train moved out of the station.
There were nearly as many present to say
good-by as the revere delegates to take the
train.
An hour later another section of the
train left the Boston and Albany station
with an equal mum ber of cars. Treasurer
Shaw went on this section. In the two
trains there were more than 900 people.

NEW YORK, n. Y, June 2S.-A con-
tract for the transmission of electricity by
power der wed from the river running
through Santa Ana Canyon to Los Angeles
and Pasadena has just been concluded be-
tween the Southern California Power
Company and the General Electric Com
pany of Schenectady. n. Y. The amount
OF power 10 be trans mitted at first is 1000
horsepower. The station is to be located
in the Santa Ana Canyon, twelve miles
from Redlancs. The water will be taken
from the river through the canal hume
and tunnel alongside of the canyon to a
point where it will be led through pipe
22OO feet long, giving what is equivalent to
a vertical fall in the water of $50 feet. At
the bottom the wafer will shoot from the
nozzles against bucket wheels. which will
be on the same shafts as tie electric dy-
namos. This will be the longest CON-
mercial electric power transmission ever
undertaken. At present the longest is
that by which the power of Ogden Canyon
is transmitted to Salt Lake City. The Los
Angeles transmission will lie, roughly
speaking, twice the distance and three
times the longest distance We tried with
the power of Niagara, which so far has
only been transmitted to Buffalo.

Immediately. The men are greatly dis

1t is believed that the men will finally
win the battle, as they seem to have mad g
complete plans for successful strike.
This is season of the year when there IS
considerable building going on ana the
contractors would rather yield TO the men
than lose the profits which they are sure
OF if the work were not stopped.
Up to this point the employers have
done little or nothing toward conclliating Q
