TRAGEDY
Police Believe Girl Murdered in
Vacant Apartment.
Her Trunk Contained an Ex-
pensive Trousseau of Satin.

Chicago. Sept. 1S.-Police today
were seeking the slayer of Miss Jose
phipe Parker, whose body was found
last night in the bath room of the flat
she had occupied alone for more than
a month.
The girls wrists had been slaShed
and she had bled to death. The walls
and floors of the parlor and bath room
were stained with blood and a razor
lay on the window still. She evidently
had been dead about ten days.
The police were willing to accept a
suicide theory at first but later~dis-
covered a bucket of bloody water and
a sponge which had been used in an
effort to wipe up the blood stains.
After losing so much blood, she
would not have had the strength to
attempt TO erase it, the police believe.
They also pointed out that anyone
about to die would not worry about a
few blood stains.
The flat was bare of furniture. A
trunk contained a bridal trousseau
complete, with white satin gown, tulle
veil and white slippers.
Miss Parker evidently had slept on
a pile of newspapers in a corner. The
girl is believed to have come here
from Decatur, Ill.

MYSTERY DEEPENS
Disappearance of Registered
Mail Sack PHzzIeS Officials.
ThOrO Search Being Made Here
for 1t Today.

A registered mail sack was stolen
from the mail car of Rock Island
train No. at $50 o'clock Monday
night while the train was standing at
the Rock Island depot in Topeka.
That is the theory advanced by In
spector Johnston of Kansas City, head
of government operatives, who in con-
junction with the local police depart
ment, sheriff's office and Rock Is
land detectives, is investigating the
mysterious robbery today.
A registered sack of mail destined
for New York was made up by the
mail clerks just before the train pull
ed into Topeka. according to the story
told to Johnston by the clerks upon
their arrival in Kansas City. When
the train reached the Rock Island de-
pot at Topeka one of the mail clerks
left the car to aid in loading mail
The other remained in the car. Al
no time was the car unoccupied, the
clerks told Johnston.
No Clue Found.
Shortly after the rain had pulled
out of Topeka the sack was missing
they declared. Absolutely no clue to
the mysterious robbery had been OBJ
tanned at a late hour this afternoon
Johnston announced.
A theory was advanced that the
sack might have fallen from the train
en- route from Topeka to Kansas City
Johnston scoffed at the idea, saying
such a thing was impossible under the
circumstances.
There is only one theory held al
this time" he said. THE sack was
stolen at the depot at Topeka"
The valuables contained in the sack
will remain a mystery until claims are
filed by those sending the registered
letters from hundreds of different
town and cities west of Topeka. The
fact that after the Rock Island train
leaves Topeka it makes no stop until
it pulls into Kansas City would make
it impossible for the sack to be stoler
anywhere excepting at Topeka, John
ston affirms.
