has revealed nothing which will aid
the police in their task. Every distin-
gushing mark had been removed from
the woman's clothing and pictures had
been cut from their frames and burned,
together with several pieces of paper
which may have borne addresses. On
every hand there was to be found evil

murderer to battle pursuit.
The discovery of the crime came
about through the anxiety OF the jani-
tress of the house to collect rent for the
apartment, nearly two weeks over due.

The man and woman who occupied tho
rooms more than two months had paid

When an entrance was forced the
woman's body, with the head almost
severed. was lying on the bloodsoaked
bed. The room was in confusion. Brok-

wearing apparel which had been re-
moved from an open trunk was strewn
about the room. Under the woman's

broken. The condition of the body In
