■ Gruesome Find By
Women in N. Y. Park
New York.—The Bronx park mur
der mystery, beginning with the dis
covery last Sunday of the head of a
man wrapped up in a newspaper, de
veloped into a still more gruesome
puzzle today when the torso, wrapped
in oil cloth, wus found oy passers bv.
The torso, from which the heart,
right lung and other parts had beeu
c udeiy cut, perhaps with a butcher
knife, was jammed between two rocks
ab ut 500 feet from the entrance, and
not more than 100 feet from the spot
where the two boys, plaving tag Sun
day, found the head wrapped in an
. Italian newspaper.
The torso was placed in the park,
the police are certain, some time last
nigli' or this morning. Monday and
Tuesday more titan one hundred park
. attendants and police searched the
grounds.
The discovery was made by two
women walking along the "'Snake
road.
The to-rso was wrapped in blue oil
cloth and tied with Ashing line. The
cloth, considerably wi rn and spattered
with blood, was of cheap material. It
i is doubtful whether at this time t! 9
clotu will furnish a clew to ihe identity
of Lite victim.

Mars Not Dead Planet,
Says Observatory Chief
Williams Hay. vv L’rofessor E. C,
Slipher. assistant director of Lowell
observatory at Flagstaff, Atiz., in a
paper read today before the twenty
eighth convention of the American As
tronomical Society, in session here, de
clared Mars is not a dead planet, but
has heal sufficient to maintain plant
and animal life. Venus and Jupiter,
long considered hot stars, are, on t he
contrary, cold and can sustain no life.
Prof. Slipher’s contention is based on
the successful application of a recently
invented apparatus for measuring the
heat, radiated bv planets.
