So He Can't Join the clamor With
Any Pleasure.

New York, Nov. 24.-United States
Senator T.. G. Platt issued statement
last night on the New York county Re
publican committee chairmanship situa.
tion, in which he said:
"The sole object of my activity in
the New York county situation is the
recovery to the state organization OF its
old-time vigor and quality"
He prefaced this by declaring that
he had been too much abused himself
ito take any pleasure in joining in an
outcry against any other man, merely
because it is popular to do so, and
will not say one word of personal i'll
viii towards Mr.. 0dell. The party or
ganization throughout the state has
been transformed into a weak, discor-
dant, dissatisfied body, lacking confidence
in itself, and distrustful of its leader
ship"
Mr.. Platt said that MIR. Odells re.
tirement would be the necessary conse-
quence of his loss of the New York coun-
ty machine and that there is not a
politician with half an eye, who does
not see that this has already been ac-
complished."

Finding Of the Body.


The trunk in which the body was
found late yesterday in the second story
front room Of the house at SO South
Ferry street, where the woman lived
with her husband. The body was wedg
ed into the trunk. 1t was fully clothed
with the exception of shoes and was
doubled up into a sitting posture with
the face down upon the knees A clothes
line held the body in that position.
The autopsy on Mrs. Hammond's
body, completed at midnight, demon
strated concltlsively that the woman was
first badly beaten and then strangled
to death. The police learned last night
that Hammond appeared in his old
haunts in Cohoes as late as last week
Tuesday night, and then said he was
going that night to Rouses Point, where
he formerly lived.
The trunk stood in the fire place, the
body within was literally sprinkled with
chloride Of lime, and the disinfectant
was strewed thickly all about the three
rooms comprising the fiat. The cover
Of the trunk was propped oRen, with
the evident idea OF having the odors of
decomposition escape up the chimney.
) y D<saggeeable odors all day drew the
attention sEss.e first floor family to the
tenement whence not a sound
ilas been heard for at least ten days.
Upon breaking into the rooms the
police found first the layer Of disinfec-
tant, then the fact that every crack,
keyhole and creyice was stuffed with
rags, and finally the trunk in the fire
place, containing the huddled body,
bound up with a clothes line. Out
side the hall entrance was found a
bottle of perfumery with the stopper
out By means of all these precautions
the discovery of the CHASTITY condition
of affairs was delayed and the escape
Of the perpetrator greatly facilitated
No Evidence Of Struggle
Within the rooms there was no evil
dence of struggle, but many indica-
tions that the ordinary life Of the couple
came to an abrupt end. None Of the
jeweIry, Of which the woman was re-
puted to own a considerable quantity,
was found, but all Of her clothing and
the furniture and bric-a-brac were in
their accustomed places. The house was
more than comfortably furnished, with
many evidences OF taste, and over the
entrance of the room in which the body
was found was framed motto; God
s Bless Our Home."
q The woman was we'll known in Albany
s for many years under the name of Mrs.
! Wilbus Cramp, as the proprietor of a
j largely patronized hair dressing estab-
lshment on North Pearl street in the
principal business section of the city.
j Her own family is reputable, and this

q about two years ago.
B She was believed by the neighbors to
