No Connection With Boston
Suit Case Mystery.
SAYS MEDICAL EXAMINER
Identity Of the Woman Whose Dismem-
bered Body Was Found in Boston
Harbor Is Still Unknown to
Oficers.

Boston, Sept. 2S.-Aecording to Med
ical Examiner Harris the bundle Of cloth
ing found at Winthrop on Monday has
no connection with the suit case mys-
tery He finds that the package came
from the house Of Mrs. PalfTay Of Vim
throp, who has since died. She was
friend Of Mrs. Burnham, and visited
her last week and took home d bundle
wrapped in the paper which came to
Mrs. Burnham with the silk.
Up to this afternoon the police had
made no further progress in unearthing
the mystery. A diver is at work search
ing for evidence OF the crime on the
bottom of the harbor, and the waters
near the spot where the macintosh
was found are being dragged for the
bundle, seen yesterday, IN hopes Of
finding the missing parts Of the body.
The man who bought the two suit cases
from the pawnbroker has not yet been
found.
The identity Of the woman whose dis
membered body was found in dress
suit case in the waters Of Winthrop
bay Is still unknown and no positive
clue to the perpetrator OF the revolving
crime had been discovered. However,
the police feel assured that several ar
ticles found will lead to the apprehen-
sion Of the culprit.
In the belief that the head, arms
and legs of the victim may have been
cast into Winthrop cove at the same
time and near the same place as the
dress suit case containing the torso,
divers are searching all the submarine
territory Of the bay AS yet their Ell
forts have not been rewarded Lest the
missing members had been deposited
among ash or garbage reeeptaeles, head
Of the sanitary departments has given
instructions that everything be care
fully scrutinized While the police do
not look for results from this avenue,
they do not intend to neglect any pos
sihle channel.
Tie police attach the greatest inn
portance to the discovery that two dress
suit cases were purchased last week in
South End pawn broker shop. The
dress suit case in the possession Of the
state police has been identified as one
that stranger purchased. The author
tiles are Of the opinion that the missing
members Of the woman's body were
placed in the other dress suit case and
disposed OF in the same manner. Some,
however, doubt that an ordinary dress
suit case could hold the head and the
limbs.
Mr. Parkman has given the police
a fairly good description OF the pur-
chaser of the dress suit cases, but the
probability is that the man has gone
from the city and has eluded the police
Additional evidence has come to light
which tends further to direct police at
tention to the Back Bay district in the
vicinity of Dalton street. 1t appears
that on Sept. Is, five days preceding
the finding Of the dress suit case, a
policeman who patrols a part of the
Back Bay district, saw man and a
woman alight from street car at the
corner Of Huntington avenue and Boyl-
ston street. The officer recognized the
man as a doctor who for some time has
been suspected by the police as a prac-
titioher OF criminal operations. He for
merly had an office in the West End
and later moved to the South End. The
woman had the appearance of a nurse,
and carried bundle, suggesting her
profession.
The officer followed them and saw
them enter d house on Dalton OF Dun
dee street. s4.~~>~~s
