DEAD MAN IN PIT New York Police Work Diligently All Day Trying 10 UDTaYeI Latest
 Mystery
MISSING PARTS ARE FOUND

| NoW IOTK, sept Z4.-Up to ar
 early hour to-day the police had
 made practically no progress in un.
 raveling the mystery surrounding the
 finding of portions of the body of a
 murdered man in a pit at West Thir-
 ty-sixth street and Eleventh avenue.
 The ghastly find was made nearly
 twenty-fOur hours before. The trunk | or the man, mutilated such as was | that of Guldensuppe, the victim of
 the notorious murder of nine years ago; the forearms and the lower parts of the legs were recovered, but
 diligent search of the neighborhood
 failed to reveal the head Or the thighs. The place where portions of the body were found is near the river and the police believe the head was thrown overheard.
 The only clue which furnished any results yesterday was the gunnysack upon which was printed the name 'Z. K. ManO." It was found that Mano, who died several weeks ago, had been an importer of nuts. He was an Ar menian and had his place of business at No 67 Washington street, the heart of the Syrian and Armenian colony. He left widow, who few days ago sold out his entire stock pre- paratory to giving up the business.
 It was learned last night that Mano had brother Jack, who had had trouble with his Syrian neigh bors because of some business deal Tn the settlement of the estate. It was said that Jack had gone into hid ing few days ago because of threats made against his life. Some of the Syrians declared that the description of the body at the morgue tallied With that of the missing man.
 The dead man was of foreign ex- traction, either an Italian, an Ar menian or Syrian.
 Coroner's Physician Weston ad- vanced a theory that impressed the police.
 From the condition of the torso," he said, "I am sure that murder was committed after midnight, and I also believe that three men disposed of the remains. Very probably each of the three carried a portion and meant to throw 1t into the river.
 They got frightened, possibly, and one of them threw the body into this hole. Another ran into the freight yard, and seeing the car door open flung his load inside. The third kept on to the river and hurled the bag far out into the water.
 "As to cutting up of the body, am inclined to think whoever attend ed to this part of the crime must have had some knowledge of ana- tony. At the same time, good butcher might have done the work"
 During the forenoon one of the thighs was found at Eleventh avenue and Thirty-eighth street The police were engaged in searching for the head of the missing man and until that was found had little hope of identifying the body.
 The police were busy to-day also in trying to trace five men who were seen Saturday night first pursuing. and later beating man in West | street not far from the spot where the torso was afterward found. A watchnlan told the police | to-day that he witnessed the pursuit | and assault, but then thought it was only street brawl common to that | and did nothing to stop | 1t.
 The missing thigh was found | in burlap bag in an empty | railroad car in freight yard near the place where the arms and the lower portion of the legs were found In another bundle was short portion of leg below the knee.
