The chief of police of Brighton,

where to turn.

Letters FORD Found on
Paper Wrapping-Legs
Discovered in Suitcase.

LONDON, June 19-The discovery
OF a woman's legs in London and a
woman's torso in Brighton put Scot
land Yard on the trail today of one
of England's weirdest murder mys-
terieS.
There we're only meager clues.
Both the legs and the torso we're
wrapped in brown paper and authori-
ties were virtually certain they be-
longed to the same person.
Four letters, FORD" written
on the paper at Brighton with a blue
pencil, detectives believed, might serve
as a clue in the search for the slayer
Scotland Yard said, however, valu-
able information had been divulged
by a person Sworn to secrecy"
Noted PatholOgist Called.
After an examination of the legs,
found in suitcase, which had been
left at the Kings Cross Railway Sta
ton here June 7, Sir Bernard Spills
burg, noted home Office pathologist,
was to go to Brighton to examine
the torso and decide whether the legs
belonged to the body.
In the hope of discovering other
possible clues, all railway stations,
cloak rooms and luggage deposits in
London were thoroughly combed,
without success, under the direction
of Scotland Yard.
The torso at Brighton. diSmembered
by a saw, was stuffed into a cheap
canvas trunk, with wool wrapped
about it.
The frightful discoveries came with
in a few hours of each other and
shocked all England.
Tufvers0n Link Doubted.
Interest was heightened by publicity
given the international case of the
missing Agnes Tufverson. American
lawyer, whose husband, Capt Ivan
Ponderjay is being held in Vienna,
but the two mysteries were thought
by authorities not to be linked.
Officials pointed out there was no
scar on the Brighton torso, although
Miss Tufverson bore one because of an
abdominal operation, The date the
trunk was deposited at Brighton did
not coincide with the date of Poder-
jays departure from England.
Scotland Yards plain-clothes ace,
Chief Inspector w. Donaldson, is di-
recting the investigation.
The torso belonged to a woman of
about 40. How the trunI, reached the
station was unknown. Miss Tufverson
