1839 Third avenue on May 2was found deadyesterday afternoon In the chimney of thhouse in which she had lived The poliobcllevo that the girl down tho chlmnofrom the roof and the superficial oxamnations or the body made last nighshowed nothing to Indicate violence

Tho body was found about fifteen feefrom the top of the chimney or about halway down the top story Bilcks weTremoved in the front room of the top floonf the house at 1841 next door and tinbody was taken out that way It wasupright having fallen into the chimnofeet first The left arm Wilt crooked tinhand resting on the side of the face Tinright arm was crossed on the breast withthe palm of the hand clows to the throat

Henry Flynn of 179 East NinotyalxHstreet and Gerard Strassburg of 160 EastNinetyseventh street had been employeeby Senator Frawley the Tammanyof the district to assist In running dowistories that the girl had been kidnapped-The neighborhood had been inflamed bjthese stories and all day crowds had linethe streets around the house

Flynn and Strasuburg were going througlthe house at 1841 about 3 oclock In

afternoon and were on the upper floonwhen they found that Mrs Charles Wolf-on the top floor front had been strewingchloride of lime about In an effort toher rooms of a stench that had been growIng wprso for a day or two

Finding nothing In Mrs Flynns apart-ments to explain what was wrong the twcyoung men went to the roof and deciderto search the chimney They got a stickand poked it down It met no obstructionand they went to hardware shop acrossth street and got a pole about flfteerfeet long This showed thatwas blocked

They pulled up the pole and fastened thook to the end of it Then they loweredIt a second tune and whwi they brought It

they pulled up the sleeve of a girlsdress and some hair

They unmedlntoly went to tho East 104tlistreet police station and notifiedHerlihy He sent them Imrk with De-

tective Smith and plans wore made to takrout the body It wax decided to break-through the wall of Mrs Wolfs front roomn a little mathematical calculation showedthat the body would bo about midwaybetween the floor and coiling of her apart-ment

In flvUUHUj H root andFireman was sen f aroundto the house with an a and pick Hemade shortS work of breaking Into thechimney and the girls body was foundIt Iran clothed M the child was when sheleft home oven to the pink ribbon in herhair There wan no sign of mutilationA few marks on the face wore attributedto the hook whWh the young men hadused In the chimney The body was takenat once to the station house

Capt Langan of the Detective Bureauand the dflteotivA of the Fat 104th streetstation began Investigation to find outtf the girl had been killed and then putdown the chimney The chimney risesabout five feet above the roof and is closeto the house front parapet which is two anda half feet high so that the chimney top itreadily accessible from the roof Thechimney ia used by both houses and hasfour flues The body was in the flue nearestthe street and the parapet

Both Capts Langan and Herlihy saidthat they felt sure that the girl was acci-

dentally killed The police thought thatperhaps she had been playing with otherchildren in the house and that some ofthe other children knew something abouttar falling In and had been afraid to tellor were too young to know what to trill

They questioned the children but couldfad no one who knew or would tell any-

thing about itOne of the stories told In the house last

night waa that a woman called on MrsMcCahlll early yesterday afternoon andsaid that abe could find the missing girland that abe had an infallible method offinding lost children Mrs MoCahlll would
