Human Fragments    (April Fool's Day - 1911)

The New York Evening World - Apr 3, 1911

"The police have dropped the theory that there is any murder mystery involved in the human hand and foot found in a cigar box on One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street, between Third and Lexington avenues yesterday. Several Bellevue Hospital doctors who saw the gruesome relics after they were brought to the Morgue today said they were undoubtedly anatomical specimens and that they had probably been left in the street by medical students with a warped sense of humor to run off an April fool joke."
