 Mt. Airy.

Philadelphia, June 3.-An unknown man who the police are certain is the vic- tim of the mysterious Black Hand" society, was found murdered today near the tracks of the Pennsylvania railroad, in Mount Airy, suburb The headless body was found between the embank- ments of two railroads, while the head was found at the foot of an embank- ment some distance away. Later a blood stained knife was found half buried In the soft earth. near where the body was found
 When the detectives examined the torso they found that it had not been mutilat- ed. The head had been severed clean and the clothes on the trunk were not , blood stained. Neither was the head dis figured and the police say it is impos- slble that the man could have been killed by train.
 Their examination, they say, convnces them that the man was killed elsewhere and carried to the spot where the body and head were discovered after the mur- derers had dressed him in in best clothes. The victim of the murder Is an Italian. The police have no clue in the case.
