BODY IN TWO BOXES
GRIM BOSTON MURDER, BOSTON, July 14. The police are wrestling with the most gruesome and most scientific murder thev have encountered for years. The body of a young woman, handsome and well-groomed, wa-s found, dismembered, in two pasteboard boxes lying alongside the Calvary Cemetery wall. The body had been cut by an expert into four sections, the largest including the torso and the head. Three facts stand out: First, that it was the work of a .clever surgeon; second, that the knots around the packages were tied in a very efficient sailor fashion with window cord; and, third, that an operation for appendicitis had been performed a few months ago.
