 The body Of girl mutilated. dis membered and unidentified. lay in the city mortuary after 1t had been discovered early today on a lonely road that winds ifs way between two cemeteries in the Mattapan district of the city.
 Police believe the young woman, attractive and apparently refined, had been dead week and that her body had been cut up and packed into the two boxes and burlap bag in which 1t was found some time last Sunday. This vas indicated by q superficial examination by medi- cal authorities.
 Knots Are Only Clue
 The only clue left for the police 10 work on was the manner of the knots in the heavy window cord that bound the bozes They were tied, apparently, by a seaman or some one familiar with marine knots. The 1 boxes bore no marks of any sort and there were no tracks 10 show how 1 they had been transported 10 the street between the graveyards.
 Workman Makes Discovery
 The boxes were lying near wall that separates Calvary cemetery from Wall, Hill street and on the other side Of the street Is Mount Hope cemetery. The body was out side the wall, A laborer, Torrio Jenney. on his way to work, saw the boxes and notified q patrolman. who lifted the lid of one and saw what appeared to be part Of hu- man form, He called other police who stood guard until medical cx- amincrs could reach the scene.
 The spot between the cemeteries is off the beaten path for traffic. but still is used by many pedestrians. It is only q short distance, however, from two main arteries to the city from suburbs 10 the souths
 Green Stockings Found
 The only clothing found in fhc preliminary was a pair of Nile green stockings and a white cotton chemise. The vital organs had been removed from the body and wrap ped In the chemise which was then placed under the head in the larger box.
 The entire Boston homicide squad was assigned to the case and or dered to work under the direction of Medical Examiner Leary whose examination was thought to provide the only clues on which the officers might work.
 Other Similar Crimes
 Not since the Wolschendorf and Trekos cases in 1928 have police of the metropolitan district been called 1 upon 10 solve anything so mysteri- | ous. The first, known as the Suit ! case Mystery" concerned the ind | ing of the body of Mrs. George ! of Brockton in two | black suitcases In the Merrimac riy- ! CT near Tyngsboro. The suitcases were of the kind carried in auto | mobile trunks and it was only after | tracing these back to the manufac- -urer and through other channels | that Dr. William Nj. Robb was ar rested and charged with abortion.
 He was sentenced 10 from five to seven years for this crime in 1923.
 The Trekos case also happened in 1928 when the bodies of Mrs. George rrekos and her mother-in-law of N. H.. were found in Wo- )urn. Trekos later was arrested md convicted of the murders.
 Illegal Operation
 pr. OLeary told the police short V after II o'clock this morning that t would be at least six hours before le could complete his examination 2f the body,
 He said efforts were being made !, o entirely reconstruct it and as serted that evidence so far discov- ,red indicated that the girl had lttll lllE NIOillll CL bll llit < til ORfltl- ion. This theory was strengthened, le said, by the fact that the work # dismembering the body had been done and appeared to be he job of an expert surgeon.
 Police found themselves working olindly until they could obtain a nore detailed report from Medical Examiner OIeary. Dr. OLeary in , ormed them he thought it might be possible to obtain a fairly good ' photograph of the girls head which :. would aid in identification. Reports of missing girls throughout } Jew England were being run down " officers assigned 10 the task, and efore noon two of them had been ound. Fingerprints on the boxes in !, mich the body was found also were !, lken and it was believed this might /, i'd in the apprehension of the mur- erer, |,
