Der of people at the station house.
They appear to be two right hands,
sawed off at the wrists, yet the
thumbs are missing, and the bones are
exactly like fingers, yet the tips of
them have what might be called knobs
on them. In what appears to be the
palms of the hands the flesh that re-
mains on the bones is punched and
quite thick and from the inside re-
semble an animals foot, while the out
side looks exactly like a human hand.
Several physicians examined the
findings, but We're unable to tell what
they were. The deputy coroner was
unable to solve the mystery, owing to
his lack of knowledge along anatomi-
cal lines, and unless somebody volun-
teers to unravel the mystery Lieuten.

findings are to be seen at the jackson

West Side bank building. He told his

it is probable that the boys who car
