New York, June 30.-The lower part of the trunk of a man was found by | two boys in the woods at One Hundred and Seventy-sixth street and Under cliffe avenue, this city, Sunday after noon. It was terribly mutilated and shows plainly that a murder has beer committed. It was wrapped in linole- um oilcloth and manilla paper exactly as was the upper part of a trunk found in the East river off Eleventh street Saturday. The two are parts of the same body.
 The two pieces were found more than eight miles apart, one in the water. the | other on land. The part found Sun day comprised the lower part of the trunk from the fifth rib to the hips, the legs having been severed from the body at the hip joints. It was wrapped in three folds of paper and two of oil- cloth. The oilcloth was evidently cut from the same piece as that which in- | closed the upper part of the trunk. It was new and of a cheap pattern, bright red with gilt figures on 1t. 1t is like that commonly used for tablecloths in tenement houses.
 The find of Sunday was in a bulky bundle, lying against a wall next to Un- dercliffe avenue, where the shrubbery was very thick. It had not been dis sected, which does away with the be- lief that it had been handled by medi- cal students. Besides, it had been terri ply hacked where separated from the upper portion. It was sent to the morgue, where 1t fitted the part found Saturday exactly.
 L. Zimm of 16s East Ninety-frst lrf, Theodore Cyklan, a eabinetmaker, who was employed for the last two years by William Baumgartner & Co of College Point. MT. Zimm, the superintendent of the factory, and three men called at the morgue with a detective and said he was quite sure that the body was that of Cyklan. Cyklan disappeared on last Thursday, He was a trifie eccentric. When he did not call for his wages on Saturday, MT. Zimm began to think something was wrong. Cyklan had a poisoned finger. It left scar. pr. Scott of the Bellevue hospital staff was called in, and he ex- amined the fingers of the murdered man. He found a slight scar on the top of the second finger of the right hand. It was scarcely noticeable. This scar never had been discovered before, and this fact makes the statement of MT. Zimm of greater value.
 The finger spoken of so much Is the left forefinger. Zimm said that Cyklan also had wound on his left foreffnger. Three weeks ago he had struck the nall of his finger with hammer.
 Recognized the yalise.
 Zimm recognized the descriptions of the valise and it's contents as of prop erty of Cyklan. He said that the two states made him positive, as he had bought two states at the same time that Cyklan made the purchase.
 The articles found in the yalise are a pair of gray trousers with small stripe, black diagonal coat and waist coat, two white shirts, size 15h; a smaller white shirt, a pair of gray drawers and undershirt to match, two slates about 6 by 4 inches, apparently new and with a capital letter A mark ed in pencil on the frames; a package of white envelopes and sheets of paper, a pair of soiled linen cuffs without but tons, a piece of pink string, a celluloid collar button, black penholder, a bot tie of vaseline, small toy barrel filled with small tacks, a set of shoestrings. harmonica, half a dozen clean linen handkerchiefs and pair of dark gray half hose. There was a copy of The Progressive Thinker. published by G. R. Francis in Chicago. of the issue of Saturday, June 12; three small screws, such as might be used in a dozen ways by a eabinetmaker. and a piece of wrapping paper which may have come from a country store.
 On this paper is printed the words, Hats and caps, boots and shoes, dry goods, general merchandise, Emporia, Va" Below this is the printers mark, "Walhouse & Sons, Atlanta, Ga., printers" There was also found in the valise a piece of gilt molding about 4 inches long by IF inches wide and one sixteenth of an inch thick. The piece of molding, the small barrel of tacks and the three screws, all articles in common use by a cabinetmaker, cer- tainly give color to the claims made by MT. Zimm and his companions.
 Identified as William GuIdensuppe.
 The Journal this morning publishes the following:
 Yesterday seven different persons positively identified the man whose severed body lies in the morgue. He was William Guldensuppe a rubber in the Murray Hill Turkish baths.
 A woman who once loved this man hated him. Two men were jealous of him and had threatened him with re- venge.
 The positive and indubitable identifi- cation is made by the superintendent of the baths and five attendants, who had seen the man naked, day after day, for years. and knew every mark on him.
 He was further identified by Dr. J. s. Cosby of 215 West Forty-fourth street. Dr. Cosby had lanced and treat ed a felon on the index finger of Gulden- suppe's left hand. At the morgue Dr. Cosby instantly identified the cicatrix of the wound his lance had made.
 Guldensuppe had been a sailor. On his breast was tattooed in india ink the bust figure of a woman. It covered a space as large as mans hand. The butcher who cut him up cut this out.
 Guldensuppe left the baths last Fri day morning. He disappeared. In all the four years of his employment there he had never missed a days work. No word has been received from him.
 Guldensuppe lived with Mrs. Augusta Mack. a midwife. at 439 Ninth avenue. near Thirty-fourth street. <She is sep arated from her husband.
 Mack had threatened revenge on Guldensuppe.
 A man who lived with the Nacks be- fore Guldensuppe came and who is Nack's friend had openly threatened Guldensuppe. The big masseur had supplanted him and thrashed him after taking away his pistol.
 Mrs. Mack says she does not know and does not care where Gul@ensuppe is; that she has not seen him since Fri day morning. the day before the body was found in the East river.
 Surrender of Bank Robbers.
