NEW YORK SLEUTHS
UP AGAINST A WALL
Mystery Of Murdered Girl, Parts of
Whose Body Were Found in
River, Deep as Ever

New York, September 13.-Once again
the mystery OF the, murdered girl. parts
of whose body were found In the Hud-
son river more than a week ago, is a
puzzle. all clues having failed to reveal
her identity or the manner of her death.
The body is not that of Annette Day,
the Brooklyn girl, who has been missing
since August s, as had been believed. Sal
vatore Day and his sister, Mary Day,
went to the Hoboken morgue late today,
where last night their brother Francis
had declared his belief that it was his
sisters headless body After carefully
viewing the upper and lower portions of
the dismembered body Salvatore and
Mary Day stated 1t as their positive opin-
ion that the fragments We're not those of
Annettes body: the marks were not iden-
tical. they said. Francis Day later ad-
mitted he had been mistaken and that
the body was not that of his sister
The police of New York now have no
strong clue in the case that has fur
nished so many false leads They have
no idea as TO the identity OF the mur-
dered girl or her murderer and the case
bids fair to become a parallel sof the
unsolved murder of Maria Rogers Wee
hawken in the New Jersey meadows
nearly century ago, which gave Edgar
Allen Poe the opportunity TO write one
of his greatest mystery tales.

Has Kept His Hands Off His
Father for 25 Years-Last
Act Too Much

a statement admitting that he had switch
ed and spanked his father. He is a guest
of the Rev, c. r. Parker. a member of
the executive board of Franklin college.
The Rev Mr.. Parker. in a brief state
ment, said the executive board had full
confidence in DR.. Hanley and that no
hasty action would be taken on the case.
Calvin Hanley was resting easy tonight
and his physician said he did not con-
slider his condition serious.
DIR. Hanley and hs father were recon-
ciled tonight when the son motored to
his fathers home In the presence OF
all the members of the family, the two
embraced and asked mutual forgiveness.
According to a friend who witnessed the
meeting. the father declared that he had
been spoiled by being allowed to dictate
to other members of his family.
DR.. Hanley later returned to Terre
Haute and departed on late train for
Franklin.
The Franklin president made the trip
to Middletown after he had received word
that his father wished to see him. He
was accompanied by the Rev. Mr.. Parker
What effect the reconciliation will have

of the Haney family declared the action
probably marked the close of the incl
