WOMEN FIND TORSO
TO FIT HEAD IN PARK
Police Seek Arms and Legs of
Murder Victim Left in Botan-
ical Garden.
BODY HACKED TO PIECES
Medical Examiner Says Signs
Indicate Preparation of
Brutal Crime.

The torso of the man whose head was
found in Bronx Park on Sunday was
discovered yesterday by two women
hunting mushrooms. 1t was wrapped
in oicloth. tied with stout twine and
jammed between two rocks near a
c!ump of bushes a few feet off the Iris
Garden road The head was found 300
feet away.
DR. John Riegelman assistant medical
examiner of The Bronx, after careful
examination. stated that there was no
question the torso is that of the man
whose head was found Sunday. He
said the torso and head fit perfectly
and there is every indication the man
was murdered and dismembered.
Capt. Henry Duane in command of
the Sixth detective division, began an
Investigation after the discovery, and
with members of his staff and park en-
ployees is making a thorough search
for the arms and legs. An autopsy will
be performed to-day.
With the exception of the left lung
the organs had been Topped off in a man
ner indicating use of dull weapon or
a butcher knife. The police believe the
torso was left in the park on Wednes-
day night, as they and park employees
had searched over the ground where it
was found yesterday.
Mrs. Maria Dierigli and Mrs. Adelina
Spadduzzi. both of 2375 Belmont avenue,
The Bronx, were walking through the
place when they saw a large package
done up in oilcloth from which came a
foul odor. They had heard of the find-
ing of the head, and without opening the
package hurried to the road, where they
reported to Ed ward eastman, Park
Department foreman.
Carman opened the package. The
torso had been wrapped in a piece of
checked oilcloth about six by four and
tied with heavy twisted cord of the kind
used by masons. eastman did not touch
the torso and Immediately notified Capt.
Duane, who found it badly decomposed,
The torso was removed to the Ford
ham morgue. Capt Duane said he Is
convinced the head and torso were taken
TO the park after decomposition had
made It impossible to hide them indoors.

AUTOPSY SHOWS HALL
WAS WOUNDED ONCE
Bullet Passed Through Muir
dered Rector's Brain.

An autopsy performed upon the body
OF the Rev DR.. Edward Wheeler Hall
in the Kings County Morgue yesterday
afternoon established that he had been
killed by bullet that passed through
his brain.
The bullet took downward course,
entering the right temple and emerging,
according to DIR. Runkel +. Hegeman of
Somerville. n. j., in the back of the neck
on :he left side. This gives support to
the theory that the clergyman sought to
defend himself.
There were few small abrasions on
both hands particularly the back of the
left wrist" said DR. Hegeman. These
may have been made by struggle or
perhaps by contact with bushes 1 do
not know which. But obviously they
were made before death.
1--WE didn't find anything particularly
new. There were no other wounds than
the two caused by this bullet entering
and emerging from the head. The bullet
apparently was of .32 calibre (the same
as killed Mrs. Mlls)"

the rector always took her part in an
argument.
Mrs Mills, it seems, became en-
amored Of the rector fully six years
ago, when she was in a hospital and
he visited her. 1t was not until three
years ago. according to this story. that
he made known his love for her. She
at that time had a quarrel with her
mother-in-law and the elder Mrs. Mills
told Hall about it. He replied some-
thing to the effect that Mrs. Mills, Jr..
was a headstrong woman and this got
back to the choir singer.
Then, so the story runs, Mrs. Mills
went 10 Hall in the church and up
braided him for his remark.
Thereupon, again according to the
story, the rector literally got down on
his knees and begged Mrs. Mills not to
turn against him because he had come
to love her.
Hall gave her. it is understood. sew
eral presents of clothing.

MEXICO'S War
SECRETARY IS
IN REBEL AREA
Two Former Federal Majors
Who Revolted are Shot to
. Death Near Tampico
(Rv The Associated Press)

MEXICO CITY, May %. - Secretary
of War Serrano has arrived at Villahcr-
mosa, capitol of Tabasco, and begon an
active campaign against the rebel Gen
eral Carlos Greene.
Nicasio Vasqucz and Donaciano Es-
calente. former majors in the federal
army. were executed after their capture
by government forces under, General
Arenac near Tampico.
Military officers here declare they
see in the renewed rebel activity Of the
last few days in scattered parts the
republic an effort by the enemies Of
President Obregon to embarrass him at
Q moment when his administration is
making serious attempts to square Mex
leo with the world and when Secretary
Of the Treasury de la Huerta is visiting
New York to arrange for the national
urLt. II is believed by these observers
that the rebel factions, although under
definite leaders, have IA tacit understand
ing Ia start their harrassng tactics in
order 10 create the impression abroad
that the republic is disturbed and is
straying from the paths of peace.
The situation in Tabasco admittedly is
serious, and Secretary Of War Scrrano
In person is conducting n campaign to eN-
terminate the followers of the revoldting
general. Carlos Greene. The forces Of
this general entered Frontctra, principal
port Of Tabasco, and after holding il for
six hours and committing depredations,
decamped to other parts.
Villa Hermosa, the state capital, IS
now said to be threatened and observers
anticipated great military activity in the
state during the next few days.
Gen. Enrique Estrada, former secre-
tary of war. has been hurridly trans
ferred to Tabasco. lie is due to arrive
today with considerable reinforccmcnts
for the Tabasco garrison.
Dispatches indicate minor disturbances
in Coahuila, Chihuahua, Tamaulipas, San
Luis Potsi, Puebla. Vera Cruz, TlaXcala,
Durango and even Sonora, the home of
President ObreEon. The rebels appear
to have no other objective than to ere
etc general trouble. There are no
"vivas" for new president; nor is
there n new program of revolution.
President Obrcgon has described the
movement as ~non-political" and says
they are "irritations which are annoy
ing but not serious"
