SUITCASE MYSTERY
LITTLE OR NOTHING DEVELOPED
IN SEARCH.

BOSTON, Mass, September %. - The
bundle of clothing, part of which was
marked with blood found in the water near
Winthrop Monday night, has no connection
with the suit case mystery, according to
Medical Examiner Harris. The police have
learned that the blood-stained clothing
came from the home of a Winthrop woman
who was visiting d friend OF Mrs r. o.
Burnham of South End. to whom had been
consigned the wrapping paper in which the
soiIed clothing was found.
AS early as 8 o'clock this morning state
police began a search of the creek which
separates East Boston from Winthrop The
early hour was chosen because of the
favorable tide. Until long after daylight
the search was continued but the graphing
irons brought nothing to the surface Con-
vinced that some of the dismembered parts
of the Woman's body are contained in the
second suit case which the stranger pur-
chased at a South End pawnshop, the po-
lice seek this article at the bottom of Win
throp harbor.
On a Still Hunt.
A score Of detectives are trying to trace
the movements of the man after he left
the store where he bought the cases, be-
lieving that he represents not only the
man who performed the illegal operation
for the victim. but also the person who
dissected the body and then threw it's torso
into the water.
Charles B. Beckworth a harnessmaker
of Marlboro, has notified Chief Inspector
Watts of the metrop oitan bureau of GRIM
inal investigation that he believes he was
the man who repaired the dress suit case
in which the woman's torso was found in
Winthrop harbor last Thursday. He says
that on August IA man and two women
rode up in. an automobile to his shop and
that the man entered and asked him to
repair a large suit case. Beckwtth de-
scribes the man for whom he did the work
about forty-five years of age five feet
ten inches in height, of sim build and with
sandy mustache and dark eyes. The
stranger said he was a physician, living in
Winthrop. The automobile departed In the
direction of Boston.

dress NJ. Witte showed clearly that he

negradski, formerly finance minister and
now director of the International CONNER
cial Bank: NJ kobeko privy councillor and
chairman of the press reform commission,
and many other prominent officials who
had been M. Witte's former colleagues or
subordinates. The crowd had collected
near where M. Witte would descend from
the train, and when he appeared they broke
out into long and loud cheers, to which M.
Witte bowed acknowledgment. The spokes-
man then advanced and read the address
bareheaded.
The Address.
The address read: "You have accom-
complished your difficult task and the ma
ton is grateful to you. You have given
the credit for your success to Emperor
Nicholas, President Roosevelt Emperor
William of Germany and to the press You
have forgotten only yourself. We, how
ever, fully appreciate your services to your
country. The tree you planted at the WASH
ington homestead at Mount Vernon will
serve as token of the union between the
two nations. You have done much.
For yourselves and for those who are
absent we will once more snout a hearty
hurrah. 4.,
When the cheer had died away NJ. wftte,
who seemed deeply moved by the sincerity
of the welcome. advanced a few steps and
delivered his reply.
He said: II was SO little prepared for this
kind reception that 1 must ask your par
don for the incoherence of my words. q
have performed my duty well because
have strictly ebeyed his majesty's instruc-
tions. because circumstances favored me,
because the world is weary OF this bloody
war, because all classes of American So
ciety. from President Roosevelt down. were
in sympathy with my and your cause. be-
cause l was true 20 my country and her
and our interests.
NJ Whites last word was followed by fur
ther loud and hearty cheering after which,
slowly advancing toward ,ne entrance, he
shook hands with the deliverer of the well
coming address and his friends and former
colleagues. The crowd followed closely to-
ward the door, where an open carriage was
in waiting.
