INSPECTOR eYRNEs' STORY.

When the attention of the officials
in the Adams Express Office in Balti-
more was directed to the trunk
marked John A. Wilson, Baltimore,
Md. To be called for" by the dis
agreeable odor which emanated from
it, there was a suspicion that some
thing was wrong. The trunk was put
in an open room and was kept for
three days. No one called for 1t and
the advice of Chief of Police Frye was
asked.
The trunk was broken open. The
mutilated body of a large-sized man
was found in it. There was no head.
The legs and arms, which had been
cleanly cut off close to the body. were
lying on top of the remains, with a
lot of bloody paper and clothing
around them. The body and frag-
ments were carefully examined for
marks that might lead to an identifi-
cation. All that could be found was
a crooked little finger on the left
hand. Matters were at a standstill
so far as the police investigation was
concerned, when the attention of In
spector Byrnes was called to the case.
81 was about going home" said In
spector Byrnes. "on a Wednesday aft
ernoon when / received a telegram
from Chief Frye of Baltimore. A
headless body! That was certainly a
novelty, and / became greatly inter
ested. telegraphed for further In
formation. In the answer were three
important items. The first was the
address OF butcher named Siegel, in
Throop avenue, Brooklyn; the sec
ond, label of Westcott's Express, In
this city, and third, label of The
London and Manchester Plate Glass
Company, 7s and 70 Wooster street.
"I telegraphed for the trunk to be
sent on at once, learned that 1t had
been seen by reporters and concluded
that the fact that had been notified

Bed Cross Seals Being Printed.

Seventy-five million Red Cross

stickers for 1912. The National Asso-
ciatiton for the Study and Prevention
of Tuberculosis, which in cooperation
with the American Red Cross will con-

look this year is bright for a higher
sale than ever before.
The seal this year is said to be- the
best of its kind that the Red Cross
has ever issued. The design is in
three colors, red, green and gray. A
Santa Claus head in the three colors
is shown in the center surrounded by
holly wreaths. In each corner is a

and raspberry. Still another long
horned" beetle, the "oak-pruner," Ella
phidion villosum. lays its eggs in the
branches of oak and other trees but
leaves the girdllng to be done by its
larvae. In this case the larva feeds in
the heart OF the twig until it is nearly
full grown and then cuts the twig al

made 1t retreats into the burrow above

The adult of the raspberry cane.
meggot," a two-winged fly of the genus
Phorbia, lays its egg near the tips OF
young raspberry shoots. The larva
which matches enters the cane and
after working it's way downward for
several inches 1t encircles the shoot
several times, with a spiral groove
made Just beneath the bark, which
kills the shoot above, and the larva
feeds thereafter on the dead wood.

There are other species that operate
in similar manner, but the ones that
have been mentioned will serve tc
show that the peculiar habit, in one
form or another. is shared by insects
belonging to widely separated groups.
1t is interesting that SO many species,
which in most respects do not resem'

represent at least three orders, have
adopted some form of this peculiar
way tf providing for the safety and
comfort OF their progeny.

room, and covered 1t with the cot that
Bodies had slept on. Then 1 set to
work to destroy all evidences of the
murder. I had hardly got through
wipfng up the blood when the boy
came in. told him Bodies had gone
to Chicago and would not come back.
How was to get rid of the body?
thought Of burning 1t up, selling 1t
to medical students, throwing it over
board. Then hit upon what thought
was the best plan, but in my excite
ment I overlooked the very things
that would have saved me harmless.
l thought was cool, but, in fact, I
must have been at white heat. On
the day following the murder 1 went
out and bought a saw and a large rub
ber cloth. drank whisky to steady
my nerves. l pulled out the body and
laid 1t on the rubber cloth, which
had spread on the kitchen floor. The
very carving knife which Bodies had
intended to stick me with 1 used to
at first, but had a flask of whisky
which helped me.
put the head out of sight, as the
eyes, which were wide open. made me
uneasy. Then the work was easier
for me. l used the knife and saw to
cut off the legs and arms. Then I
took the body and forced 1t into Bob.
les trunk. I put the legs and arms
on top of the body.
The head l carefully wrapped up
in old clothes and newspapers, and
put in a bureau drawer.
got the room cleaned up late in the
afternoon, and went out with the trunk
on my back. 1t was heavy, but I
managed to carry it to liquor store
in Grand street, where l arranged to
leave it over night. Then l went to
the room and got the head. thought
as l walked along the streets that
everybody was looking at the head. l
could hear the voice of Bodies in my
ears all the time. / got on the Will
iamsburg ferryboat at Grand street.
and stood in the cold In the rear of
the boat until the middle Of the river
was reached. Then l dropped the
head overheard. l thought l heard
a cry as 1t sank out of sight. When
the head was disposed of l felt that
the crime could never be discovered.
l slept easy at home that night.
The next day was Saturday. l got
an Italian to help me carry the trunk
to Henry Bense's saloon at 1876 Kent
avenue, Brooklyn. / got label mark

find any thing that would lead to iden-
tification, in my opinion. l returned

drank, drank until l could drink no
more. There did not appear to be

would be found some day in the ex-
