MAY HAVE BEEN KILLED
AND THROWN INTO SEA
Light Thrown on Mysterious Case of
Mrs. n. j. Milburn of
Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES. March 6.-The body
of the woman who was found upon
the beach at Ocean Park on February
26, and which was buried several days
later without identification, was ex-
humed to-day and identified as that
of Mrs. N. j. Milburn of Los Angeles.
An autopsy tonight disclosed the fact
that the woman's neck was broken, and
it is the opinion of the authorities that
she was murdered and her body thrown
into the sea.
Mrs. Milburn was real estate dealer
in this city. She went to Ocean Park
on February % to look at some real
estate she contemplated buying. 1t is
said by her relatives in this city that
she carried a considerable sum of
money, and they believe that to gain
possession of the money was the pur-
pose of the supposed murder. 1t Is
supposed that she was lured into a
vacant house and murdered, the body
being taken out and thrown into the
sea after nightfall. The fact that no
water was found in the lungs is proof,
it is claimed, that she was dead before
the body was cast into the sea. A
thorough investigation is being made
by the authorities.
