The head was found yesterday by two of
LowelIS prominent business men beneath
a bridge over Hale-s Brook 1t is a lone
" spot and hidden from the roadway,
which runs from Chelmsford Center to
BeiIercia. The head was wrapped in cloth
ing taken from the body of the murdered
woman silk skirt and a white cotton
waist encased the head. The bundle was
tied with heavy cord, TO which was at
tached piece of granite weighing fifty
pounds
The mUrderers had evidently intended to
throw the body into Hales Brook and
sink it, but they were frightened away by
the approach Of wayfarers before they got
the heavy rock beneath the water
The face is not badly decomposed and
can be readily Identified by anyone who
knew the woman in life. The only marks
on the face are a discoIoration under the
left eye, an abrasion on The chin, and the
gashed neck, showing where the head had
been severed from the body by d sharp
instrument
The victim of the crime was apparently
woman between tnirtv-five and forty
years old Her hair was dark brown in
color, almost black; she was about five
feet, three inches in height. Some have
Tentured the opinion basing it on her
/ general appearance. that she was Of
French-Canadian extraction.
The teeth form the first and most i'm
