PRIEST
MURDERED
DEAD BODY FOUND IN
IN NEW YORK CITY.
TWO GREEKS ARE SAID TO HAVE
COMMITTED CRIME
FOR MONEY.

New York. May 27.-Rev. Father
Kaspar of the Armchair Apostolic
church of Hoboken, N. j., was MUIR
dered in this city some time last week.
The body was found in a trunk
which had been left for security for
their room rent by two Greeks, who
three weeks ago rented room from
Mrs. Henry Sherrer, who occupied the
third floor Of tenement at 1913 West
Thirty street.
When last Wednesday the rent was
not forthcoming her dodgers told Mrs.
Sherrer that she was amply secured by
their well-filled trunk. The following
morning the men disappeared, and
today the trunk was broken open. To
the horror Of Mrs. Sherrer it was found
to contain the badly decomposed body
of man. The body was in a kneeling
position, with the head bound against
the knees by heavy strap that passed
over the back of the neck and was
buckled under the shins. The muir
dered man was about 60 years of age
and was about 5 feet 4 inches in
height. A flowing beard IL inches
long was streaked with gray, but the
long and bushy hair was black. An
undershirt of balbriggan and a cuff on
the right wrist were all the body wore,
but on top Of it had been thrown three
coats of clerical cut, white laun-
dered shirt, two pairs of black lace
shoes, soft felt hat, two collars and
detached cuff.
Because of the condition of the body
it was not possible to determine the
manner of death. Following an au-
topsy at the morgue two men were ar
rested on suspicion. Mrs. Sherrer told
the coroners jury that when the two
men engaged the room in her home
they described themselves as John and
Paul Sarkie, each about 35 years of
age John was dark and smooth
shaven, and the man said he had con-
Quoted a restaurant in the tenderloin.
The other wore mustache. The men
had been visited, she said, by man
wearing clerical garb, who looked
not unlike the murdered man. She
thought that this man called at
o'clock Wednesday evening. No one
heard any unusual noises that day.
After removal to the morgue the
body was identified as that of the
priest. He had lived at 60S Monastery
street, West Hoboken, and frequently
made trips to this city soliciting funds
for his church.
Father Kaspar, carrying a small
leather bag in which his collections
were placed, came to be familiar
