MURDER OR SUICIDE.
LONDON, Nov. 13.-The body of
a well-dressed woman was taken out

marks were received by coming in
contact with objects in the water.

of the various police stations in the
hope of getting O clue to the muir

arrested one man who had bowie
knife in his possession, but there
was no reason to believe that he was
