Left A CorpSe.

Now York, May.-Seyeral weeks ago Mrs. Annie Seherer rented one of her six rooms in tenement at 3553 West Thirty-seveath street to two unknown men. When last weex the rent was not forthcoming her lodgers, two Greeks, told her that she was amply secured by their Well-flled trunk. The following morning the men disappear ed, and when the trunk was broken open, to the horror of Mrs. .Seherer it was found to contain the badly de- composed body of man, believed to have been priest of the Greek church. The body was in a knee ing position, with the head bound against the knees by heavy strap that pass cd over the back of the neck and was buckled under the shins. The murdered man must have been about sixty years old. A flowing beard. 12 inches long, was streaked with gray, but the long bushy hair was black. One undershirt of balbriggan and a cuff on the right wrist were all the body had on, but on top Of it had been thrown three coats of clerical cut, white laundried shirt, two pairs of black lace shoes, a soft felt hat, two Roman collars and a detached cuff. The police think it possible that the body was shipped here by express from Chicago and the authorities of that city have been asked to follow 8 cleW based on a meal ticket also found in the trunk. This ticket was issued by a restaurant at 1922 Hal sted street, West Pullman, Chicago. Be- cause of the condition of the body, the manner of death was not imme- diately apparent. Following an autop. sy at the morgue, two men were ar rested on suspicion.
