GHASTLY CRIME.

INHUMAN BRUTALITY. U.S. MURDER AND TORTURE. New York police Just gathered police to piece together both body ana clues. , ~ „ ~f The first piece of the body, porhon of the thigh, was found under Bridge From then the police ha\e £a hired their evidence of butchered flesh. the trail leading from America," the negro world ot Haiiem, across the bridge to Brooklyn Yet, although they have practically p ecea together the body, almost like a human jig-saw puzzle, the police are no neaiei the solution of the ghastly crime. The head was so badly decomposed that any features were unrecognisable. the teeth, almost the best means of identification in old murders, are useless, lne victim of the crime had a perfect set. He had, apparently, never been to a dentist in his life. But science is still persevering, and perhaps the most intricate experiment in finger prints is about to be attempted. Dr. Martin, famous police expert, will freeze the butchered hands and fingers, in the hope of obtaining prints. Even if the police solve the identity of the victim, however, murder may still be hard to prove. The assembly of the complete framework of the body leaves the cause of death in legal doubt.
