TOP OF THE HEAD MISSING

New York, June 13-Three dismem-
bered portions of mans body which
were yielded up by the waters of the
| lower bay, one section on Saturday, two
| just now, are in the possession of the po-
! lice Of Brooklyn and offer every evidence
| of cruel murder, one planned evidently
with all the delibcration Of and executed
much after the same fashion as the cele-
brated Guldensuppe crime.
The last discovered part Of the body
was found off Forty second street, Brook.
lyn. 1t is that comprised between line
about the middle of the chest and one in
Guiding the head at the bridge of the nose
and the tips of the ears.
Of the mans face, there are the chin,
the mouth, the cheeks and the tip Of the
nose. Attached to the upper trunk is the
left arm. The right arm is severed three
inches below the shoulder socket.
The entire top of the skull and the
back of it to the nape of the neck are
gone. The right ear is cut off, but the
left is uniniured, save for the tip, which
was sliced off apparently by the same
blow which cleft the skull. The left arm
and hand are intact. The man was evil
IDENTIFY between 35 and 80 years old and
pounds.
Deemed Proof of Murder.
DR.. c. w. Berry of 1901 Third av-
enue, Brooklyn. made an examination
of the new found upper section of the
body and stated that he felt assured
that the man had been murdered.
THE manner in which the body was
cut makes it clear to me that this is
case of most horrible murder and at
tempt at its concealment. The cut
which severed the chest from the lower
region of the body was made by hand
whose owner had no small knowledge
of anatomy. This, as we'll as the mu-
tiaton of the skull, was made with
the greatest care and with regard fol
the rules of dissection.
1.-THE cut above the chest and back
was made in one sweep Of the knife.
not in series of cuts such as the UNI
practiced hand would make. That the
cut was made in all possible haste is
shown by the fact that the man who
used the knife in cutting circle around
the body missed the point of the knife's
entry into the flesh of the back when he
ended the cut The cut did not join by
more than half an inch
Such n cut could not possibly have
been made by propeller blades or by
collision with anything in the water
1t is knife sweep.
Skull Skillfully Cut.
1.-THE mans spine was not crushed: II
was dsarticulated somewhere between
the sixth and eighth dorsal vertebrate.
The skull was dissected at the sutures
with II careful hand.
"There is deep cash in the right side
Of the neck, which is apparently a knife
wound and was inflicted either by a left
handed man or by a right hand blow
from behind.
1.-THE skin on the head was cut by Il
knife. The cut about the chest was made
at the diaphragm, and the lungs We're
cut into. TheNare collapsed and give no
clew as to the manner of death.
at seems to me that the mans skull
was mutilated to hide a bullet wound
probably in the forehead"
AS in the great Guldensuppe case. the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT was accomplished by a |
clean, sharp knife stroke, but in this |
newer case the bones appear to have
been crushed with an AK or Ratchet.
