THE
CLUVERIUS CASE.
Full Suit Of Woman's Clothes
Found Near the New
Reservoir.

The discovery few days back OF a
full suit OF woman's clothes near the
New Reservoir recalls the Cluverius case
Of many years ago. and arouses suspi-
clons of foul play. Officers of Henrco.
when questioned yesterday. stated that
they had heard nothing OF the matter,
and. therefore. that they knew nothing
to lead them to believe that there was
any such significance to the discovery.
It is possible. however. that there will be
an investigation.
According to report, the clothes were
found several days ago under tree
on the boulevard near the Cary Street
crossing. They consisted OF complete
set of woman's wear, With the single eX-
ception OF shoes. There was a brown
Jacket. shirt waist of some light stuff,
a pink silk sash. dark skirt, straw hat,
corset ant, corset cover and full set of
underwear, The discovery was made by
Frank Blair, city driver, employed In
the excavation OF the lake southeast OF
Reservoir Park. Near the spot where the
clothes We're found Is plot OF grass.
which Mr.. Blair says had the appearance
OF being we'll trampled.
When the clothes We're found there was
nothing near the place to indicate that
there had been any foul play. There
were no blood spots and no signs OF a
struggle. except, perhaps, the trampled
grass. 1t is, therefore, taken to be emil
nently probable that the finding OF the
clothes means nothing SO far as murder
or the like Is concerned, Still, Sthe cir.
cumstance is weird and mysterious one,
and 1t is attracting no little attention.
ii is particularly interesting In that It
recalls the CluverIus affair, which oc-
Cured years ago at the Old Reservoir.
