FRIDAY EVENING. JUNE II. 1909.
MYSTERIOUS MURDER.

Two large oilcloth bundles were csr-
ried into the Oak street, New York,
station house last night by policeman
who brought with him the 14.year-old
boy he had found standing guard over
them in Oliver street. When the pack
ages were opened in front Of the lieulen-
ants desk it was found that they con-
tanned the trunk, legs and arms of a
mans body. The head was missing.
The arms and legs had been slashed
with some blunt knife, but the bones
we're evenly and carefully sawed through.
There was nothing In the clothing Of the
dead man to give a hint of his identity.
The schoolboy, Joseph Totero, who
had been watching the packages, was
walking in the rain about 6 O'Clock last
evening, when, at the corner of Gather
inc and Monroe streets, he met a man
carrying two heavy packages.
The man stopped and asked him
whether he wanted to earn 5 cents. The
youugster answered that be would be
glad to and the man told him to follow
along. They walked until they reached
one of the gates Of public school No. !,
about so feet from the corner of Hsr1il-
ton street.
Here the man told Totoro to watch
the package q few minutes, and said
he would be back right away. The boy
waited, but the man didn't come back.
About 1880 Policeman Hoffman noticed
the boy, and upon hearing his story,
rang for a patrol wagon and took the
boy and the bundles to the Oak street
station.
In one package were the arms and
legs, laid side by side and clotted to-
gether with blood.
A number of stab wounds had pene-
rated the mans chest. Just below the
point where the stump of the neck re-
NAMED was a clesn.cut slash in the
white skin of the chest.
In the other bundle the legs were
covered with bright blue underwear aud
and socks CT the same color.
On the wrappings we're written in let
tiers of red, 9 inches high, 'Black
Hand"
