GOTHAM MURDER MISTER 7
The p rtions of a Human Body Not
Identified-Ma be a Malta
Vendetta,

New York. June 2S.-The lower part
of the trunk of a man was found by two
boys in the woods at One Hundred and
Seyenty-siXth street and Undercliffe ave-
nue., this city, Sunday. 1t was terribly
mutilated and shows plainly that muir
der has been committed 1t was wrapped
in oilcloth and manila paper, exactly as
was the uDDer part of a trunk found in
the East river off Eleventh street Sat
urday. The two are parts of the same
body. The two pieces were found more
than eight miles apart, one in the water
and the other on land.
The part found yesterday 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
joint. 1t was wrapped in three folds
of oilcloth. The oilcloth was evidently
cut from the same piece as that which
inclosed the upper part of the trunk. 1t
was new and of a cheap pattern.
The find of today was in bulky bun
die lying against Il wall next to Uader-
cliffe avenue, where the shrubbery is
very thick. 1t had not been dssected,
which does away with the belief that
the body had been handled by medical
students. 1t was sent to the m0rgue,
where it exactly fitted the part found
Saturday.
There were six OF more callers at the
morgue tOday-people who thought it
possible that they might be able to iden-
thy the two portions of the human body
found. The only result was tina it was
esta blished with Il fair degree of GER
tainty that the murdered man was not
Max G.. Weinecke. who has been miss
ing for several days. There is y bare
possibility that the body may be that of
an Italian named Adzaro, an important
witness in one of the Malta murders of
last March

DEAD on CHURCH STEP.
Betrayal of a 16-Year-Old Girl
Costs the Lives of Three
Men.

Dallas, Tex, juno 2S-One Of the
most sensational tragedies ever enacted
in North Texas took place in the Metho-
dist Episcopal church in Pleasant Val
ley, Dallas county, twenty-five miles
north of this city in the course of the
services Sunday. AS a result. August
Garrison and Frank Jones are dead and
Thomas Jones is probably fatally
wounded.
The Garrison and Jones families are
among the most prominent planters i'll
this section of Texas. They own ad
joining plantations and have been on the
best of social relations for many years.
August Garrison was 4 married man
and had a daughter 16 years old named
Lois. The Jones brothers were SinSle.
Frank Jones for a year or more had
been very partial in his attentions to
GarrisOn's daughter. Recently the girl
charged him with having ruined her
under promise of marriage. Garrison
swore he would have the life of the be-
trayer of his daughter
Mutual friends succeeded iii keeping the
m.n apart until yesterday, when the first
meeting between them took place. Gar
risOn and the Jones family worship at the
same church. Just as the preacher had
announced his text after prayer and the
singing of a hymn, Garrison. who had Il
scat 1csI Inc OOOI, Slepl)eu 10 the doorway
to get some fresh air, it is believed He
had no more than reached the doorway
when the congregation was startled by a
fusilade of pistol shots. Nearly dozen
were fired in about as many seconds
time. When the firing ceased August
Garrison and Frank Jones were lying
dead in front of the church steps, and
Thomas Jones was stretched on the lawn
near by. one hand clasped on his right
thigh and in his left he had pistol. His
right thigh bone was shattered by a pis-
tol ball that had torn its way downward
mutilating the flesh for a distance of six
inches.
His statement of the shooting was
brief and in substance that he and his
brother Frank were approaching the
church door and were within ten feet OF
it when Garrison appeared and instantly
drew his pistol His brother Frank, he
said, was hit by the first discharge.
Thomas drew his pistol and opened fire
on Garrison in defense of his brother.
Garrison. after shooting again at Frank,
opened fire on him (Thomas). Frank
Jones vas shot three times. once in the
region of the heart. once in the right
side and once in the head. Garrison re-
ceived but one bullet, and that pierced
his heart. Neither man lived long
enough to scarcely realize his fate.
