New York, Oct. 1O.-The upper part
of woman's body was found on the
beach at quarantine station at Z a. m.
today by John Heineman, II. years old.
The portion of the body was from the
waist line to the neck. The appear
ance of the flesh is quite fresh and it
had been but a short time in the water.
It was tied up with twine and pieces of
Manila paper and newspaper clinging
to the twine. Most of the paper is
washed away Over the right breast is
a cut about two inches long, but Dr..
DOty, the state health officer, says it
was merely a flesh wound and prob
ably inflicted while cutting the body in
pieces. The doctor says this portion of
the body is the upper part of a young
woman who had never been a mother.
The part where the head is cut off is
quite jagged and the head had evidently
been hacked off. the arms were cut off
close to the shoulder and are also cut
off in a clumsy manner.
The first portion of the body was
picked up in Seventeenth street, near
Seventh avenue, and was the left thigh
from a few inches above the knee to
the waist. The second part which was
recovered from the river was the left
lOin and this fitted upon the upper por-
ton of that found in the street The
description Oh the IIlQ dl
indicates that the trunk of the body is
now complete. The latest found part
has not yet been brought to the mOrgue,
where the other parts are kept.
The parts of the body now missing
are the head, the arms, the legs from
above the knee down and the right
thigh which was found in the city
dumps.
A name that looks like 81. ]. Neu-
man. and the laundry mark y. J. N.
1S3' were discovered this morning on
one of the white skirts in a bundle of
clothing found in the basement of zig
West Fifteenth street. This house is
next door to the areaway in which stood
the ash can where the right thigh of the
murdered woman was found.
The letters forming the name are not
distinct They are partly washed out
and little blurred. The j j. N"
of the laundry mark is distinct, how
ever, and is expected to lead to the
Identification of the owner. 1t will
then be easy to learn whether or not
she was connected in any way with the
crime.
Chief of Detectives McCIuskey said
this morning that the case was as com
plete a mystery as ever, that no point
that would go toward establishing iden-
tficatiOn had been made and that that
was the first thing necessary. 1t was
true. he said, that a number of cases
had been run down, but the case stands
just as it did at the first finding of the
part of the body.
Capt. McCluskey thinks the parts
found last night at PIG West 18th
street have no bearing on the case. In
his opinion the bundle was left where
it was found by a frightened thief.
Even with the portion of the body found
off quarantine Capt. McCluskey thinks
Identification will be almost impossible
unless the head should be found
The fragments of the woman's body
found at quarantine were examined at
the morgue by cOroner's physician,
Weston, who says it undoubtedly be-
longs with the other two portions there
Capt. McCluskey said this afternoon
that the bundle of clothing found in
West Fifteenth street belonged to
professional nurse.
