New York Police Scent Crime
In Bones Cast Up BY Waves

NEW YORK, July 2s-The finding
during the last nine days of seven
pieces of dismembered human bodies,
one Of which was from woman, has
mystified the police of New York and
surrounding cities, who believe they
may indicate that a series of mys-
terious crimes have been committed.
Until the trunk Of the woman, head
less and limbless. was taken from the
water. the police were inclined to
think that the parts of bodies were
dismembered in the Communipaw ex-
plosion last winter. Now they are
inclined to believe that a problem far
more dense than the famous Gulden-
suppe mystery is presented for solu-
ton.
On July 20 the head, trunk and
right arm of a man was found in the
upper bay. On July 2l the left foot
of a man was picked up on the bat
terry, and that same afternoon q right
foot and leg were found near the same
spot. All were from different bodies
Each day until Thursday pieces ol
bodies have been picked up. In one
case. that Of the wOman's torso, the
remains we're wrapped IN canvas dhO
hagging. Unfortunately the crew OF
the tug which took the body from the
water failed to keep these wrappings
WAich would have proven a formid'
able clue.
According 10 Coroner Converse, o.
Hoboken, and County Physician
Hutchinson, examination Of this trunl
indicates that the limbs and heat
were hacked and sawed off. On
leg, which apparently belonged to thil
body. is also at the Hoboken morgue
and from certain marks on IL the DO
lice are hopeful that they can havI
it identified.
