Crime erouoht to Lloht.

An extraordinary crime was brought
to light recently in an accidental man
ner at Zaborze, in Silesia. Sweeps
were engaged in cleaning the large
old-fashioned chimneys at the house
of the landowner. Czekalla, when in
the chimney of one of the bedrooms
they met with an obstruction. After
considerable difficulty the men sue
ceeded In extricating a black object,
which proved to be the remains of a
human leg. Realizing that they had
stumbled upon traces Of crime, the
sweeps summoned the police and a
thorough examination of the chimney
was then made, and the remains OF
what was evidently the body of a
young girl were brought out. black
ened and hardened by the effects OF
the smoke. Doctors declare that the
corpse, which is believed to be that OF
a girl aged eighteen. who disappeared
about year ago. must have been In
the chimney many. months. The po
lice are now following every possible
clue in the hope of arresting the per
petrators of the CHASTITY murder, for
that the girl was murdered before her
body was placed in the chimney the
expert examination leaves little doubt
