PROBABLY FOULLY MURDERED,
Mysterious Disappearance Of . Bssutifu
English Girl In St. Petersburg.


English Girl In St Petersburg.
The British residents Of st. Petersburg are
greatly excited over the case of the
English governess who was foully muir
dered there some months ago and whose
body has just been discovered. The young
woman came from England to be gov
erness in the family Of Nossolovsky, one
Of the most respected houses in the
Russian capital. She was beautiful and above
suspicion in conduct, and it ID not known that
she had any male admirers. As governess she
was sometimes presented to the visitors at the
Mossolovsky mansion, and these included OIL
GERS Of the army and other officials, who form Q
considerable part Of St. Petersburg society.
The young woman attended the Anglo
American Church. Last summer she suddenly
disappeared She had gone to church on Sum
day, prayer book in hand, and never returned.
Her absence remained mystery, and
when the prayer book was found near the cav
airy barracks suspicion deepened that she had
met with foul play. It 10 now stated
that the body Of the young woman, or what re-
mains Of it, has been found in the cesspool of
the barracks, near which the prayer book was
discovered. Suspicion attaches to officers and
soldiers connected with the cavalry. but no
definite evidence can be found to fx guilt upon
them. ....
