MURDER MYSTERY,

FOUND IN ICE
Head of Victim Was Nearly
Severed from
Body.
POOL OF BLOOD SHOWS
MAN STRUGGLED FOR LIFE
Part of 0verc0at Found Some
Distance from Fatal
Spot.

The police have been called upon to
solve what is believed to be a murder
mystery in the finding of body of an
unidentified man in the ice on the
meadows,at the foot of Hamburg place
late today. workman in the employ
of the Ideal Leather Company was sent
on an errand and in his path he dis
covered the body of a man with the
head almost decapitated.
Detectives from police headquarters
and patrolmen from the Third precinct
police station we're rushed to the spot,
and, after procuring pickaxes, dug the
body from the ice. There We're no
means at hand by which the officers
were able to make an identification,
and, at the order Of County Physician
Mckenzie, the body was removed to
Mullin So morgue, In Lafayette street.
There was q pool of blood near the
body and the mans clothes were SO
disarranged that the police are lead to
believe the man indulged in a struggle
for his life. Part of an overcoat was
discovered several feet from the spot
where the body was found and this
furthers the idea that a struggle must
have taken place.
The appearance of the man shows
that he was laborer. but had evil
IDENTIFY changed his work clothes for
Sunday dress. There was little money
in the clothes. and this has thrown
aside the theory that robbery was the
motive.
The head, which is almost severed
from the body, is not jagged one,
and Ia ono that could onlV have been
made by an extremely sharp and long
knife. There are several abattoirs In
the neighborhood and the police have
gone to them to discover If any un-
known is missing

serious fire has occurred so far, and
for this credit is due the department
which quickly answered all alarms and
fires in control.
The most serious blaze this month
