MURDER MYSTERY.
Dismembered Body of Young Woman
Found in Hudson River.

New York, Sept. S.-Officials OF
two states, New York and New Jer-
sey, yesterday united to solve the
mystery surrounding the murder of
the young woman, part of whose dis
membered body was found in the
Hudson River Friday near WoodciItf,
N. J., and to bring her slayer to JUS
tice.
Further evidence that dismember
iment had been used in an attempt to
conceal murder was found yesterday
afternoon. when two Erie Railroad
detectives discovered the lower half
of the victims trunk floating in the
Hudson near the New Jersey shore
opposite Forty second street, Manhat-
tan. Like the upper part Of the torso,
(which was first found, the lower por-
i'tion was wrapped in a pillow case and
brown paper.
It is believed the victim was Emma
Zimmerman.
! The police believe that the girl was
murdered in this city, that her body
was dismembered somewhere here
and that the packages containing her
remains were taken up the Hudson
and then thrown into the water
The lower part of the BODY bore out
the first conclusions of the examining
iphysicians that the slain girl was be-
tween 20 and 80 years of age, Of beau
tiful figure and exquisite skin. She
was of light complexion and light han
and weighed apparently between III
and l3O pounds.
The pillowcase wrapped around the
part of the body today was of fine
quality, and on it the initial "A mac

and work indicated that the case hae
apparently come from q home thai

frmed the belief that the victim hat
