MUTILATED BODY

OF AARON GRAFF
Is FOUND‘iN BOX

Elderly Manufacturer
Was Slain With an
Ax in the Cellar of
Shop

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-—-—A murder
even more gruesome than that of
which Ruth Cruger was the tie-
tim. but resembling it in some de~
tails. was uncovered by the police
yesterday when the hacked and mu-
tilated body of Aaron A. Graff. 72
years old. of 3:30 \Vcst 107th street.
.manui’acturer of radio cabinets and
a. prominent Mason. was found in
a sealed metal box in the basement
of his shop at 81 West Twelfth
Street. Mr. Graft had been missing
since August 1.

Failed with an ax whiéh the police
found on the premises, with bits
of hair still clinging to it. a cord
had been tightly drawn about his
neck to make death absolutely cer-
tain. Then the slayer. using the
ex and a saw had se'vered the legs
of the murdered man so as to make
is possible to cram the body into
the metal box.

Every effort to disfigure the body
so as to make identification impos-
sible had been made by the slayer.
but, despite the gushes he had in-
flicted on the face and body. friends
were able to 'mnke a positive identi-
fication of it this afternoon.

Immediately thereafter. a wide
search was begun for John Legacy
of 81 West Twelfth Street. with
whom Mr. Graft Was in the busi-
ness of manufacturing radio cabi-
nets. and who disappeared on
August 9, eight days after Graff’s
disappearance.

. Saw Graft on Aug. 1.

The police learned yesterday that
Graft had an appointment with
Logasy. a Hungarian. on August. I.
the day on which the former dis-
appeared.

Although Logasy before he him-
self disappeared told the police that
Mr. Graft, who was notoriously
punctiiious about his appointments,
had failed to keep the appointment,
the police were told by Edward Pat-
terson. in the van business in the
building on West Twelfth Street,
that he saw Graft enter the build-
ing that day.

Soon after receiving this informa-
tion the police found another
important witness in the person of
Christian Rohwer. a. man who had
worked for Legacy, who swore that
he had seen Graft and Loguy w-
gether on August 1, though the
latter had denied this.

At the same time Joseph Neu-
mark. lawyer for Graft, told the
police that he had found paper. be.
longing to his client proving that
Legacy had been heavily in debt

 

 

 

, Ito Graft.

‘ Before shoving the mutilated body
3 of his victim into this receptacle,
, tiic slayer had wrapped it in a quilt,
, and had covered the whole with a
I substance resembling plaster of
' parts.

Compelled to use an ax in order
to rip away the sheets of this box,
which had been used by Logasy for
mixing shellac used to cover the
radio cabinet, Medical Examiner
‘scnwarts found ample evidence that
as. murder of unusual brnfnuw had
been committed.

Speed Records
Broken in Box
.Car Construction

FLORENCE, S. C.. Aug. 23.—
Lowering by almost an hour thc~
record set last year by the Dela-
ware 6-. Hudson Railroad shops.
the Atlantic Coast Line car
shops here are believed to have
established a new world's record
for freight car construction.

A freight. box car. on which
work was begun at 7:30 a. 111.
Wednesday. was completed, in-
cluding the painting and stun—
ciiing at 3, p. m., arrived at a
loading platform at 3:51. p. 113..
received 150,000 pounds of to-

 

 

bacco and was in transit to “’in-
ston-Salem. N. C.. 15‘ miles
away at 8:56 p. m.. arriving there
at 4:30 a. m. Thursday.

On another basis of computa-
tion, actual construction bf the
car required a few minutes more
than forty-eight man hours.
