cover or part of chemise tied at the top with a colored ribbon. These have not as yet been fully examined for marks, though sections were taken by medical examiner Garlick as pos sible clues of, identification.
 s The spot in which the body was bur- jed, probably to a depth of five feet, was. until two weeks ago, very secIud- ed, having been covered with a, dense copse Of bushes five or six feet in height. It is bounded on the north by the City Ice & Goal company which rears it's fence and coal pockets high above the street Yellow Mill pond is on the west side and runs to a small cove in which the torso of Emma. Gill was found similarly wrapped nearly Seayiew avenue and the tracks of the railroad spur leading to the American Tube & Stamping company form a boundary.
 In the lot a sewer was <cut through by the Pierce Manufacturing company about two years ago. The ground is dark 1oam above, followed by fill and, beneath, a layer of fine sand. In the dense cover of the undergrowth and the newly dug sewer excavation 1t would have been short work for one or two strong men to have dug the l torso was found today.
 Several other holes to1 a depth of two or three feet and not fully filled with earth have attracted the atten- tion of the police and it is likely that they will be carefully probed for the head and legs of the body, which are stgI missing.
 1 Other clues which are having close attention of the police are some cloth ing, shoes and underwear cast aside in the bushes some 50 feet distant from the spot in which the torso was found hes sit of a cT1i y&,-i-. with white, a. blue vest striped with white and bearing an indel1bIe mark 1 "B-25,' pair of Bannister shoes, much worn and without strings. In addition there is a much worn pair of fleece lined mems. underdrawersl and 1 a twill shirt of nondescript color. | The spot from which the section was dislodged is about 75 feet west from the streeet, and in 8 direct line with the sewer excavation. It is about l 20 feet from a giant and bark strip | ped chestnut treet which stands out | prominently as a, market to the grave. It is feared by detectives that the ex-
 act location of the grave which may have contained other portions Of the ! body has been lost, for at depth
 of about 25 feet wide and nearly thirty
 feet from the surface the big steam
 shovel has cut a trail 25 feet wide
 and nearly thjrty feet beyond the spot
 near where the body was found.
 Engineer A. O. Northrop, of 7s Court1and streeet, operator of the
 steam shovel which takes nearly a
 cubic yard of material at one bite of
 it's big jaws, said: stI was first ac-
 quafnted with the find by the shouts
 of Simmons who had rolled over what
 was apparently a bundle of rags. This
 lay about 25 feet behind my shovel
 and might have been dislodged by
 the spill of the uplifting arm, rather l than buried in that spot. If this is
 so, the head and legs may have long
 ago been dumped into one of the
 carts and thrown down the embark
 ment into the muddy bottom of Ye1-
 low Mill pond.
 s.I am not of that belief, however i for the odor of decomposition would
 undoubtedly have attracted the at l 6GontinuAd an Paza Two1
