New York, Oct 13.-The finding of

resulted in the discovery OF an I'M
usually revolving murder, the victim
of which was Thomas F. Corceran.
Corcoran was killed probably Weanes-
day night in the house NC. 1t3 Third
avenue. After tie picking up OF the
head, the other portions OF the body
were found cut to pieces in the Third
avenue house. The arms below the
elbow and legs below the knees had
been packed in & suit case and the
torso and remaining portions of the
arms and legs were hidden in a
clothes hamper in a room occupied by
Frederick Bauer, an elevator runner
Bauer was arrested.
The point at which the head was
found is more than garter of a mile
away from 149 Third avenue. The
head was wrapped in the Sunday sup
plement of German newspaper and
a blue and white shirt. The murder
was discovered through story told
| by George Lanole, who had room
adjoining Bauer's, and who rushed
into police station Thursday, saying
that he had lain awake for hours lis
tening to noises which he thought pro-
ceeded from Bauer's room. He said
that late Wednesday night he heard
at least two men quarreling in the adj
| joining room. He heard shot and
the sound of some one falling to the
floor. Then he went to sleep. About
2:30 Lanole said he was awakened by
| strange noises in the room where the
shot had been heard. Twice man
opened the door and went out, and
Lanole, after lying awake listening
for some time, decided that some of
the sounds he heard We're TIE noises
of bones being broken. This suspi-
cion caused him to notify the police
