the Tale" - lied amid the debris of
~neelhouse mentioned previously.
Miss Allen was very pretty blonde with
wealth of rich golden hair and a petite
figure. Mr. Allen, her brother, could only
recognize her by her hair, and, of course,
this was by no means an infallible mark of
identification, so that he cut off pieces of the
garments found on the body and submitted
them to Mrs. Dan Searles yesterday morning
for identification. Mrs. Searles recognized
them at once as portions of the garments
worn by Miss Allen while on the boat the
evening previous to the fire."
