MANS TORSO FOUND.
Cleveland Has "a Mystery Like Bos-

CLEVELAND, O., Nov. 13.-On one
of the city dumps here some children
discovered human torso, including
the thorax and shoulders, but devoid
of head, arms and legs.
The identity of the person is shroud-
ed in mystery. There was not Il shred
Of clothing attached TO the torso. 1t
was turned over to the police and re-
moved TO the morgue. The most strik-
ing discovery was bullet wound in
the right side, which the coroner
thinks caused death.
The post norton held by Coroner
Siegelstein showed that the body was
that of a murdered man. 1t also de-
veloped that the body had been EN-
balmed. The theory that the body had
been cut up in a medical school and
then discarded, thence being hauled to
the dump" was secuted by the coro-
ner.
The body showed curious marks of
mutilatfon, in that the head and arms
had evidently been pulled off or cut
rudely. The coroner holds that it is
the portion of the body of man. His
weight was probably 40 pounds, but
it was not possible to tell his age.

tons OF the Hearst men availed moth
ing, for President voorhis said that he
would not touch the boxes until he
had received the advice of the cor
poration counsel.
The Hearst men declared that forty
five of the boxes In the street In front
of the building showed signs of hay
ing been tempered with. The seals Of
many of them were broken, they said
Throughout the day the street in
front of the bureau of elections was
practically blocked to traffic. A spe-
cial squad of policemen, mounted and
on foot, was called out. TO add to the
trouble one of the horses attached to a
wagon loaded with ballot boxes ran
away at noon Three boxes were
thrown out, and one was smashed to
pieces. Ballots were scattered over
the street. These were finally gath
cred up In box, and policeman was
specially detailed to guard them.
After a consultation with the cor
poration counsel President Eoorhis an
nounced that he would have the bal
lot boxes placed in armories, with pos
