Body is Hidden
for Eight Years
Unidentified Corpse Found in Her
metically Scale d Trunk in
New York House.

NEW YORK, Nov 1S.-Pending an in
quest planned for today on the body which
was found in an hermedcally sealed trunk
in the cellar Of a West Fifty-fourth street
apartment house, the authorities were not
inclined to theorize on who the victim of
the mysterious murder might be.
Even the sex of the victim was not
known, the five years or more during
which the body is known TO have reposed
in its hiding place having reduced 1t al
most to a skeleton.
From outward Indications however, the
authorities are OF the belief that the body
is that OF a woman. the smallness Of the
bones chiefly leading them to that con-
clusion.
Early today the body-discovered by
Phelp Meagher when he was preparing 10
move yesterday, after eight years residence
IN the house and opened the neglected
trunk-vas taken to the morgue. 1t was
found that the body had been jammed in
the trunk and sirrounded with quantities
Of plaster OF paris and paper.
The only clue Is the name Of 'W, Lewis, "
which appears on the outside OF the
trunk. Lewis was a boarder in the
Meagher family up to about six years ago
He told Meagher on going away that he
would leave the trunk and call for 1t al
some time. A zinc tank inside the trunk
fits perfectly. The newspapers were dated
from February IS to April H. 1902
At the morgue Coroner's Physician Le-
hane, with Prof, John McAllisteT OF Belle
vue. made an examination Of the body and
found It TO be that of a man. The sur
geons declare that the victim was placed
in the trunk while still alive and death
resulted from asphyXiation. The condition
OF a portion of the right lung which still
remained indicated this,

ALDRICH VISITS HOME FOLKS
Governor Elect of Nebraska Returns
to Ohio to Hunt Rabbits.
SAYS WILL RID STATE OF "GANg
Pledges Himself to Preserve and
Enforce Corporation Laws of
state-To Enforce the
Liquor Laws.

CONNEAUT, O., Nov. 1S,-(Special.)-
Forty-nine years ago, on a farm in Pier
pont township, Ashtabula county, Ohio,
Chester H. Aldrich was born. Today he
has come back to his birthplace to visit his
parents and friends, whose well wishes
were all he took with him when he left
in his youth to carve his name in the his
tory OF the west.
II feel like a conquering warrior" said
the governor-elect Of Nebraska when he
arrived at his old home Everything
seems natural and homelike and l am
going to make the best Of my visit"
He had hardly said this when he asked
about the hunting. And a few hours later
he was out with a shotgun chasing rab-
bits through a woods where, as a barefoot
boy, he hunted snakes. Hunting, he said.
viii be his recreation until he leaves for
Nebraska again, December /.
Mr.. Aldrich's parents we're overjoyed to
see him again and hear his success told by
their sons own lips. His mother had no;
seen him in years and she wept as she
rained kisses on his face.
Mr.. Aldrich says he owes much OF his
! success to his education received in Ohio.
He went TO the district schools and later
became teacher. After leaving Ashta-
bua county he taught school in Ulysses,
fairs He studied law and in 1907 was
elected to the state senate
Gang Rule ArERiEned.
In his letter announcing he was coming
to visit his birthplace the governors elect
bitterly arraigned the so-called gang rule
Of Nebraska,
Il will rid Nebraska Of the gang that
has been running It and will make IL a
state to be proud Of" he wrote
Interviewed at his old home Mr.. Aldrlch
talked freely Of the political situation in
his state and vicinity. He said Nebraska
Iowa and Kansas are overwhelmingly for
progress.
"Tafts administration Is not altogether
popular in Nebraska" he said. Taft Is
. regarded as thoroughly patriotic and hon
est but impractical in carrying out poll
cies. HIS Winona speech lost him the con-
fldence OF the west. He embarrassed and
withheld patronage from Congressman
Norris. who, by the way, is also an Ohio
born man. and the people could never un-
derstand, II Taft Is truly progressive, why
he antagoniEed the very man who stood for
. Roosevelt and the policies Roosevelt sup
ported.
The recent election is an absolute indi.
cation that the people are dissatisfied with
the Payne-Aldrich tariff law, as not ir
compliance with the party's platform
