TRUNK Murderer TO J
die AT SING SING
CRIME FOR WHICH RUSSIAN WILL
PAY PENALTY MELTED HIM
ONLY $3.50.

New York, July 1S.-Karl brand.
wicz is to die in the electric chair in
Sing Sing prison during the week be-
ginning at midnight tomorrow night
for the participating in the murder of
Ivan Marrysewicz, whose body was
found in a trunk on the sidewalk on
Pitt street last December. The case
attracted more than ordinary atten-
tion, largely from the fact that it was
one of the very few of the so-called
trunk" mysteries that the police of
the metropolis have succeeded in solv-
ing in late years. Like the most of
its predecessors the Pitt street case
promised for time to battle every
effort of the detectives to discover the
perpetrators of the murder.
Late on the afternoon of December
29 boy notified the police that for an
hour or more he had watched trunk
which two men had unloaded from a
push cart and left in the gutter in Pitt
street. When the trunk was opened
at the police station the still warm
body of man about 40 years of age,
shabbily dressed and emacipated, was
found in it. According to the coroner
death had been caused by strangula-
tion, though in forcing the body into
the trunk the mans neck had been
broken. Stout ropes held the head
and neck to the knees and feet. A
large handkerchief had been used as
gag and a woman's petticoat was
wrapped about the head.
Several days after the discovery the
body was identified as that of Ivan
Marrysewicz, a Russian Pole, former.
ly employed in a coal mine in West
Virginia. The proprietor of stable
in the vicinity told the police he had
rented push cart to two men answer
ing the description Of those who had
left the trunk in the gutter. On the
strength of this information Karl
Drandwicz was arrested, tried and con
victed for the murder. His companion
was not found. According to the evi
dence the motive for the murder was
robbery, it being the belief of the mur.
derers that their victim was returning
to Russia with a considerable sum of
money he had saved. But according
to the admission of Drandwicz the
crime yielded only $3.50, which was
less than half the amount that the
murderers paid for the trunk in which
to conceal the body.
