CRIPPLED WOMAN MURDERED.
BODY FOUND BURIED IN 4 STA
BLE'S MANURE HEAP.
Victim Was Deformed, Was Only Feet
Tall and weighed Less Than Ninety
Pounds-No Clue 10 Her Identit,-Body
Hidden I'm Inaccessible Place.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 13.-Eli Davis, a
negro, who helps around the Union Trans
fer Company's stables at Cherry and Juni-
per streets, was loading up wagon with
manure from the shed this morning when
his pitchfork struck something hard. AZ
the same time Charles German, the stable
man. who was helping him, saw n pair OF
woman's feet in buttoned leather Shoes
sticking out OF the pile
Davis pulled his ritchfork away and In
doing SO uncovered a woman's face. lie
threw down the pitohfork with SHREK
and sped out the door and down the street
A policeman caught him and led him back
Then Davis, the policeman and German
uncovered the rest OF the body.
The woman was about IS years old un-
dersized, and cripple. Her spine was
badly deforned and she was pigeon
breasted. She WAS only four feet tall
and weighed less than ninety pounds.
There was a bruise over the right eye and
the body had been stiff and cold for hours
After the Coroner had looked 1t over the
body was sent to the morgue.
At first the police were inclined to the
theory OF accident, bat later in the day
they changed their mind and started out
on the murder idea. There is absolutely
not the slightest clue 10 the woman's iden-
tity She is entirely unknown In the Ten
derloin, from which it was at first thought
she hailed.
The manure shed has a single door in the
rear Of the stable opening on Clarion street
a little dark alley just below Cherry. The
shed is about fifteen feet square, and into
It the manure is shoyelled from the stalls
above through a chute. The door on
Clarion street is Of heavy wood. and the
base OF it is four feet above the ground.
with no stops leading to it. The detectives
conoede that the woman could not have
entered the pit unaided.
Besides this, her hat, torn and battered.
and with clumps Of hair caught in the pins
was found in the street outside the stable.
The last person to enter the pit prior
to the finding of the body was William
Stoever. stableman. who on Sunday
afternoon smoothed the surface of the
manure to accommodate the largo quantity
which is dumped there every Monday
morning. When Stoever left the pit the
refuse was three feet deep, its surface
being on a level with the door. No one
elee entered the place until this morning.
Last night about two tons more OF refuse
had been dumped in. The detectives any
