A CHASTITY FIND
At Tiverton, R. l., Tells
Tale of a Brutal Murder.
Severed Limbs Of Woman Found
In Part Of a Suit Case.
Discovered by Accident...No Clue
To Identity Of Victim.

Tiverton, X. l., Oct. 1.-THE finding
of the severed legs of a woman i'm a
suit case among some bushes in an
outlying section of this town this at
ternoon brought to light what the au-
thoritics are convinced is a case of
murder. The possible similarity of the
crime TO that of the famous Susan
Geary case in Boston, at once suggest
ed itself to the officials investigating,
but at a late hour tonight they had
MADE little progress toward unraVel-
ling the mystery. The discovery of a
New Bedford newspaper of Yesterdays
date with the portions of the limbs in
the suit case is regarded as the most
important clue thus far obtained, in
dicating possibly the place of the MUIR
der. The authorities tonight We're of
the opinion that the woman was muir
dered in New Bedford, that the legs
were placed in the suit case there and
brought by team or automobile to Tiv-
erton last night.
According to the medical examiner,
DR.. John Stimson of Tiverton, the sup
posed murder was committed not more
than Il or u hours before the suit
case with its CHASTITY contents was dis
covered. That a murder was commit
ted and that the cutting was not done
by the experienced hands of a sur
geon or medical student is the belief
of the medical examiner. who says that
apparently a common hanG saw was
uscd to sever the legs from the trunk
The search for other portions of the
body in the woods near the place
where the suit case was found was
continued by the police and volunteers
all night, but at a late hour no new
find had been reported. Should the
search still be fruitless tomorrow
morning sWamps in the ncighborhood
will he dragged.
The SPOT where the suit case was
fonnd is about 20 feet from the edge of
the Pulgermarsh road at point be-
tween 200 and 300 yards from Bliss
