CHICAGO HAS A
MURDER MYSTERY
MutiIated Body Of a Greek
Boy Found in Drainage
Canal
VICTIM OF VENGEANCE
OF A PADRONE SYSTEM

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
CHICAGO. Aug. 6.-The head Of the
boy whose dismembered body was
found in the drainage canal late yes
terday was found by the police to-day.
1t was in the canal a short distance
from the spot where the torso was
found
Working on the theory that the VIC
tim. probably a Greek boy. Is or 16
years old, was offered up as a sacri-
flee to the vengeance Of the padrone
system. the whole Chicago police force
is at work to-day IN an effort to iden-
tify the body
The Greek letters ID" and ~" em-
broidered in red silk on a pil!aw slip,
and a coarse flannel undershs. found
with the torso gave the police the most
tangible clue. The Federal authoritkws
are also taking a hand, believing the
boy was one OF Chicago's slaves, Inn
ported recently, and forced to work
for wealthy master and then mur-
dered because he evealed or threat
ened to eveal the secrets Of the deal
rs in human chattels.
Suspect Held BY Police
A cltywide canvass procuring de-
scriptions Of all missing boys Is h1cn 4
made. simultaneously susreCS
whose name has not been revealed Is
held by the police. He is said to have
been seen In the neighborhood where
the body was found about the time
the boy was supposed to have been
slain. The torso was found in the
canal following the discovery OF two
human legs a few blocks away. The
torso had been ripped open in front
and the heart torn out and slashed in
two. The viscera had then been re-
moved cleanly.
Into this cavity the severad left foot
had been thrust, together with a black
cap, black stocking, a portion OF an
undershirt A pair of boys trousers
had been wrapped about the body and
about this was a newspaper datea a
week ago. The horrible nature Of the
, mutations preciudes the possibility
I that the body was one discarded by
