 Boston, Oct. 27.-The suit case mys- tery of Thursday, September 21, when the dismembered torso of woman was found in a dress suit case floating in the harbor near the Winthrop shore, was brought into prominence again late to-day when a second dress suit case was found floating in the Charles river, near the new Charlestown bridge. The case found to-day contained the arms and legs, said by medical experts to be those of woman and the police say there is no doubt but that they are the missig members of the torso found at Winthrop.
 With the finding of the limbs there is now a chance that the victim of the tragedy may be identified, as on one of the hands there were three rings which, it is thought, may give clue to the. identity of the wearer.
 To-day's discovery is closely linked in several particulars with the Win throp find of a, month ago. The torso was wrapped in oil cloth and tn climbs found to-day were encased ill wrap ping identical with that wound about the torso. While Investigating the Winthrop mystery the police located two pawn brokers who has sold dress suit cases to a man answering the same description, and one of the pawn brok- CTS identified the Winthrop dress suit case as one he had sold the man. That case was fastened by a strap taken from a newer case. The dress suit case found to-day was identified by the oth- eer pawn broker as one sold by him. Although when sold it had two straps attached to it, one of the straps had been removed, but the strap remaining was of the same size and shape and similar in the pattern of the buckle to the strap fastened about the case found at Winthrop. .y ..5. ,. .t5 The limbs found to-day have been severed from the body with the great est care, and the manner in which the separation was done resembled the work of skilled surgeon. There were no marks of instruments on the joints and everything indicated that the per- son who severed the limbs was no nov- ice at dissection. ..
 According to Prof. Whitney of the Harvard Medical school, who was call ed in consultation with the police to- night, the severed limbs correspond to the description of the victim as com puted from the measurements of the torso and the expert was also of the opinion that the limbs would coincide With the torso at the points of disunion.
 To-day's ghastly discovery was made about 3:30 o'clock this afternoon by Ed ward Frazer, a member of the crew of the lighter s. A. Pike. The lighter was tied up at the wharf midway between the North End Gas house and the new Charlestown bridge. An unusually low tide prevailed at the time. Frazer saw the case floating down stream and pull ed it to the deck of the lighter with a boathook. When he opened it and unrolled the oil cloth wrapping he was mortified to find two. arms and two legs The legs had been separated at the knees, making six pieces in all, the thighs, the lower legs and the arms.
 The limbs were badly decomposed, but the decomposition was internal, the skin being well preserved, On the right hand were found three rings two of them on the ring finger and one on the little finger. It is by means of these rings that the police hope to establish the identity of the victim.
