Of CHILD
SOUGHT
Body of Three-Year-Old Dis
covered in Philadelphia
Station Badly Hacked
By international News Service.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June 8.
Police of practically every city
east of the Mississippi river today
were seeking information which
might lead to the identity of the
three-year-old boy, whose lifeless
body was found crammed into a
suitcase here Sunday.
The boy had been dead about
twelve hours, according to physi-
clans who made examination i'm
mediately after the suitcase was
found in an entrance-way near
the North Philadelphia station Of
the Pennsylvania Railroad by q
policeman. The officer had been
in the doorway only half an hour
before and there had been no
suitcase there, he said.
Passenger Left Bag, Theory.
Police believe that some one
alighted from one of the several
trains which stopped at the station
about that time, left the suit case
and boarded the train again.
Every district of this city was
checked but no missing children
could be connected with the body
found. Cities along the Atlantic
seaboard and Pittsburgh, Chicago
and other northwestern points were
notified.
The child was operated on about
two days ago for a swollen gland
in the side of his neck, according
to physicians. but this was not the
cause of death. There was knife
wound in another part of his neck.
his body was marked with bruises
all from the left hip down and the
leg and both his arms and legs
were broken.
He was wrapped in a gray sweat
er and sheet, both heavily per.
fumed.
