MURDER
NEW YORK POLICE HAVE
BATTLING CASE ON
HAND FOLLOWTNGFIND-
ING OF BODY IN ROOM.

NEW YORK. Dec. i2.-With only
the bloody finger prints of a mur-
derer to assist them. the police to-
day are securing the city for some
trace of u man who committed what
now appears 10 be one of the most
battling crimes i'm the city's criminal
history.
The murderer's victim was young
woman, whose body was found last
night in padlocked and barricaded
apartment at 337 East Eleventh
street.
The body has not been identified,
every distinguishing mark having
been removed from the woman's
clothing, while pictures I'm the apart
ment had been cut from their frames
and burned together with several
pieces of paper which may have con-
tanned addresses. On every hand
there is evidence of crafty care used
by the murderer to battle pursuit.
A man and woman who occupied
the apartment for more than two
months had paid their rent prompt
ly up to the first of the present
month, since which time the apart
ment had been closed. The door was
padlocked and neither the man nor
the woman seen about the building
When entrance was forced to the
room last night the woman's body
with the head almost severed. was
found lying on a blood soaked bed.
Broken chairs were scattered about
and wearing apparel which had been
removed from an open trunk was
strewn over the room. The woman
has apparently been dead about two
weeks On the door knobs and on
the sheets were the bloody finger
prints of the murderer. aside from
which there is no trace to his iden
tity.
The condition of the room and the
position In which the body of the
woman was found leaves small room
for doubt but that a terrible strug
gle occurred between the victim and
the murderer Her throat indicates
that she was choked and afterwards
assailed with the knife or other in
strument with which her head was
finally nearly severed from the body.
Odor coming from the decomposing
corpse and finally permeating the
building attracted the attention to
the apartment which resulted in
breaking in of the door of the room
last night. No one in the house had
previous intimation that the couple
who had occupied the room had not
closed 1t temporarily and gone away
for a visit.
