hurried examination of the basement
which has an earthcn floor and has
been covered with water all winter.
In the basket with the bones was
found a linen collar with the name
&C. Il. Snead" written on it with a

grcss. He left last September, ac-
cording TO the police, to study den
tistry at a southern university.
Mrs. Carter, with whom Snead
boarded, moved few months ago
to No 3141 Cottage Grove avenue
where she is now keeping boardors,
one of whom is John G. Snead, a
brother of the former boarder. She
was unable to throw any light on
the mystery OF the basket.
Examination of the bones by DIR.

was still adhering to two of the ribs,
hut the other bones showed traces of
quick lime or some other chemical.
Dr. Springer told the police that ex-

left in the basement by some medical
