THE TRUNK MURDERS

TWO SEPARATE CRIMES

"DAILY MAIL" STORY VARIED

LONDON, July 16.

The Chief Constable at Brighton states that the head and arms of the victim of the first trunk murder, contrary to the "Daily Mail's" report, have not been found and apparently the second body has no connection with the" first, found in a : trunk. The body fouud in the trunk in Kcinp Street has been identified as that of Yiolette Kaye. ' :

Tho "Daily Mail" continuing its story, also states that the police discovered in the same room where the trunk was found a bloodstained hammer, bloodstained clothing in. newspapers, and various parcels in the suitcase.' Signs of violence were everywhere evident. '.■-.'.

The police have circulated a description of a man who recently boarded at the house in which the second trunk was discovered, and who did not return there yesterday. Police throughout the country have been instructed to seek Tony Mancini, alias Cecil England, alias Jack Noytre, aged 28, who has a cast in one eye and stutters badly. He is well known in West End cafes. '

The history of the crime is one of tho most peculiar in criminal records. Tho police, during the month,' have visited almost every apartment-house in Brighton. The owners of the Kemp Street house, Mr. * and Mrs. Barnard, recently decided to have the house repainted. The painter detected an.unpleasant smell, and conimunicated with the police, who for several days kept a watch, including a vain night-long vigil last night.

It is thought that the man was aware that tho house T was watched and' did not return. Tho police discovered letters and correspondence which may provide valuable clues. They believe that Miss Kaye died first, and the ttnidentified woman, knowing the manner of Miss Kayo's death, may have paid the pmwltv of her knowledge.
