Slain Mans Head
Wrapped i'm Bundle
Found by Two Boys
Playing Near Bronx Park,
They Run i'm Fright After
Discovery to Tell Police;
Hunt for Torso in Vain

Two boys fishing in the Bronx River
Yesterday afternoon discovered the
head of young Italian wrapped in a
package on an embankmcnt near the
entrance to the Botanical Gardens in
Bronx Park. 1t was found 200 feet
north Of the Bronx Rive bridge and
bore evidence of having been beaten on
| the face with heavy weapon.
The boys, Vito Mornilli. thirteen
years old, Of TOT West 1g7th Street
and Salvatore Campasse, fifteen, of
2405 Crotona Avenue, the Bronx, no.
ticed round package on the edge of
steep embankment. Thinking it to be
rolled ball Of paper. one of them
struck it with stick. The object was
SO heavy that the boys picked It up and
tore open one side. When they saw
what it contained they dropped it
hastily and ran to Patro.man Wodriika.
of the Bronx Park station, and told
him of their find.
The policeman had some difficulty
IN inducing the two boys to return
w VI 'iii w eiS oPOh WneTe CneY found
the package. Examination showed the
head wrapped in mattress ticking and
a copy of an Italian newspaper bear
ing the date September 13, 1922. De-
tectives made an exhaustive search of
the Botanical Gardens and other places
in the park where the torso of the body
might have been hidden. The hunt
was fruitless.
The head was taken to Fordham
morgue and examined. 1t was that Of
a man about twenty-five years old.
The face was clean shaven and bore
marks of abraisons and contusions on
the left cheek and nose. The eyes
were brown, the hair black.
According to DR.. John Riegelman,
assistant medical examiner, the man
probably had been killed and decapi-
tated not less than twenty-four nor
more than forty eight hours. There
was no evidence of struggle at the
point where the head was found.

He soon found out. They came to
another pool and Little Joe Otter dis
appeared under water. The young
Fox caught glimpse of a brown
form shooting swiftly through the
water, and then Little Joe's head
popped up on the further side of the
pool. In his mouth was something
that glistened in the sun. The young
Fox had never seen anything like it
before. What is that ~ he asked as
Little Joe climbed out on the bank

was sitting.

Police Say Girl
Admits Strangling
Her Newborn Babe
Body of Infant Girl Found
in Airshaft: Mother Held
for Homicide and Man
She Named Is Sought

a newborn girl baby, who had been
strangled by her mother and thrown
from third-story window September
IT, was found last night at the bottom
of an airshaft at sol Green Avenue,
Brooklyn. Carrie Allen, twenty two
years old, who is said to have acknowl-
edged to Detective Captain Daniel
Carey, of the Gates Avenue police sta
ton. that she was the mother Of the
child and had killed it, was locked up.
charged with homicide. The police are
young woman gave them.
Mrs. Charlotte Spangler, who lives
on the first floor Of sol Greene Avenue,
discovered the child's body. Mrs.
Spangler's bathroom has window
opening on the airshaft, the bottom Of
which is about on the level of the sill
of the window. Last night Mrs.
Spangler for the first time noticed a
brown stain on the wainscoting of the
bathroom. Red stains showed on her
fingers when she tried to rub it off
and Mrs. Spangler became panic
stricken.
She telephoned to her husband, Har-
ry, manager of motion picture thea
ter in the vicinity, and he came to the
house with Patrolman Kelly, of the
Gates Avenue police station. Not until
they arrived was the window opened.
The baby's body, wrapped in bath
towel, lay on the sill.
Captain Carey and detectives went
through the house questioning tenants
and came finally to Miss Allen. Her
answers did not satisfy Captain Carey
and he persisted in his questioning
until the woman changed her story.
She said, according to Captain Carey,
that her real name was Schoudy and
she had taken the name Allen, which
was that of her grandparents, who had
brought her up after her mothers
death. Until last May she had lived
with an aunt at 28 Hunters Point
Avenue, Long Island City.
Then, she said, young man with
whom she had been going persuaded
her to come to the Greene Avenue
house, where he found room for her
on the third floor. September II, &C
cording to Captain Carey, the child
was born without surgical assistance
and her mother strangled her and
threw her out the window. Since then,
she said, she has worked in doll
factory on West Houston Street
