at skill With Which Limbs
Were Cut OF.

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 7.-All day long
Sheriff CASTOR and his deputies have
dragged Ecorse creek and questioning
residents in the down-river district
in hopes of finding some clue as to
the identity Of the decapitated. arm.
less and legless body of the young
woman found in the stream, but their
efforts have as yet been in vain. II
is thought that the torso, which was
securely sewn in a gunny sack may
have been thrown in the water at
Detroit and carried down the river by
the current until it reached the creek,
which is only a few miles below the
city. Consequently officers are secur-
ing the city docks in hopes OF finding
some tangible evidence.
The one clue in the possession of
the police has been shattered by the
finding Of Hattie Hochstadt. She had
been missing from her home for
week and circumstances led the Of
hcials to believe that she might have
been the victim. The authorities are
now endeavoring to find some trace of
Mrs. Jessie Weber, who was reported
missing from her home on Second
street since Aug. H. Mrs. Weber came
here during the summer from Min
neapolis and her husband since has
been in the city searching for her.
The county physicians feel certain
that the body had only been in the
water few days and the age of the
victim is estimated to be between 20
and % years When shown the trunk
the medical men were visibly sur
prised at the skill with which the
limbs and head wer cut of.
The flesh is little mangled and the
cutting shows the work of an expert.
After examing the body both
physicians gave it as their opinion
that the torso is that of a married wo-
man whose height was about s feet
inches
The officers learned Monday after
noon that a similar sack was found
containing a dead dog in Ecorse creek
few days ago. The dog was sewn in
the sack and weighted down in the!
same manner. as the womans body.
The officials believe both sacks were
thrown In the .oSeek by the same per-
SON and that the. dog was used for ex-,
