O'Clock Fitzpatrick heard dogs In tho top
door OF the building owned by the Radel
Piano Company. on Thirty-stxth street
between Eleventh and Twelfth avenues
Again he went out from his shack, which
10 located In the railroad yards near the
West Thirty%sixth street side. He saw q
short. heavy set man standing IN the private
street end. Fitzpatrick started to move
toward him, but the figure disappeared In
the railroad yards.
Fitzpatrick said that he walked through
all the yards, looking. under the cars and IN
all the empty ones in his search for the
man whom he had seen disappear. When
last he saw him he was within one hundred
feet OF the empty car where the severed
legs and arms were found later in tho
morning.
POLICE THEORIES.
In lieu OF any strong evidence the police
and detectives have been framing many
theories to account for the murder. Those
In charge Of the case are inclined to agree
that the work was done by a Syrian and
that the victim was one OF that race. They
base this opinion on the color OF the mans
skin, which Is several shades darker than
that OF the Italian skin, and on the evidence
OF the grain sack and the turkey red cloth.
DR.. Weston gave It as his opinion early

dead twelve hours. The detective s say
that the job was done some time between
midnight and 3 O'Clock yesterday morning
and they are confident that it was unpre-
the fact that neither hiding place chosen
by the murderer for the disposition OF his
grisly freight was such "a would be selected
by one doing a deliberate job. The man
who slew the Syrian and then dismem-
bered his body lived, they conjecture,
somewhere within the precinct.
After having carved his victim to pieces
the police believe the murderer tried to
get to the river with the fragments, max
ing several trips. On two occasions he
and dropped his burdens in the nearest
place Of concealment; in one instance 1t
was in the pit and the second time il was
in the freight car, several yards nearer
to the river.
The head and thighs, which rave not yet
been found, are either in the river or are
still In the house of the murderer, say the
sleuths. Their diagram OF the situation
is that after having murdered his victim
On sudden impulse and having spent more
than an hour in cutting up the body the
murderer found daylight threatening and
made a hasty effort TO hide the evidences
Of his work while time yet remained.
He made two trips with the trunk and
the limbs. Each time the dogs barked
and Waterman Fitzpatrick went out Of his
shack to discover the cause OF the uproar.
Tn murderer then became afraid and
made no other attempt to get the frag-
ments TO the river. Since the whole water
front for a distance OF several blocks was
thoroughly gone over by the police all day
yesterday, the sleuths are confident tina
the missing head and thighs have no other
hiding place than a temporary one given
them by the murderer in his house pending
opportunity to slip out with the fragments
and get them to the river.
The, police say that there is more than
one person TO be looked for in connection
with the crime. They say that the pres
indicate a woman must have been either a
witness or accessory TO the murder.
NOT ITALIAN B~RICKLAYER.
At a late hour last night the police OF
the West Thirty-seventh street station dis
covered the fact that Angelo Ottone, a
b~ricklayer, % years old. who lives at Asst
West Fortieth street, had been missing
since early Saturday morning. Mrs. OF
tone told the police that he had come home
the day before and told her Of a quarrel he
had engaged in with a Sicdian and that
the latter had threatened TO take his life.
The police started to gather Up a number
Of cousins OF the missing mantle wife
being confined in bed with an infant-in
order to take them to view the fragments
OF the man in the morgue. But the police
did not believe that they were On the trac X
of the right man. Ottone was a bricklayer
and the dead a hands showed no signs
Of hard work.
The relatives Of Ottone said hat he had
a deep scar on his side the mark OF a wound
received from a cows horn when he was
young. 1t was by this alone that they
expected to identify the man should the
body in the Morgue prove to be that Of
their missing cousin. When they got to
the Morgue all agreed that the body could
not be that Of Ottone. IT missing man
was Of fair complexion, whereas the dead
man was Of Oriental swarthiness.
Capt. McNally, who has commanded for
four years the Church street station, in
which the Syrian quarter is, said last night
that the murder was entirely different
from any Syrian killings he had ever heard
The Syrian hasn't got the glmption TO
stay with his victim long enough to cut
| him up," said Capt. McNally. He will
kill from behind and then run as fast al
he can. The job looks like an Italians
work"
The Church street police secuted the idea
that the murder might have some connec:
ton with the strife that was hotly waged
| nearly a year ago between Bishop Hawa-
vicente, head Of the Syrian branch OF the
Greek church, and the anti-Greek church
faction, which resulted in many street
fights in the Syrian quarter and caused
the death OF several participants. Capt.
McNally said that there hadn't been the
slightest outbreak between the two factions
for nearly a year.
Assistant District Attorney Cardozo Wis
tied the Morgue in the evening and looked
over the dismembered body. He said
nothing about the case and went away after
announcing his identify.
