another Guldensuppe case on hand. Two
portions of a womans body have been
found in packages which were similar,
and yet found in localities that are re-
mote from each other. There is no
doubt however. that the parts belong to
the same body. and the police are busy
working on the clue.
The first portion consists OF the upper
left leg with small portion Of ,he alb
domenal wall. Il was found on Seven
teenth street early Sunday morning. The
second portion was found late Saturday
night in the dock, at the foot Of West
Thirteenth street. by a man VINO was
fishing. IL was a part VI the trunk.
The grues0me find was brought 10 the
Morgue and was discovered to fit the
leg piece perfectly. The length Of that
part OF the trunk which was found, meas
ured i'm front, nine inches. and the dis
lance from the naval to the cut or tract
ure is IL inches.
On the left thigh IS a cut three inches
long, and above this are several other
cuts, which are lighter in extent, and
give the impression that the body was
hacked.
Eighteen little cuts were found on the
rear Of the left thigh, and when the
two pieces or the body were placed to-
gethcr il was found that tho cuts cX-
tended over both pieces, showing that
they were inflicted before the body was
cut 10 pieces.
This proves positively that the two
parts are Of the same body.
A sUBTERRANEAN CRIME.
Both portions Of the body when found
were wrapped in newspapers Of October
4 and dates, and the string used for
tieing each bundle was OF the same kind.
Small bits of coal and shavings adher-
ing TO the inside OF the newspapers sug-
gested that the crime had oeen COM
mitted I'm a cellar.
A single fine hair found in one Of the
packages will be submitted 20 an expert
in the hopes Of obtaining a clew TO the
mystery.
