to detect the murder without an
autopsy"
DIR. Campbell shared the opinion Of
Coroner Trout. He did not think there
was sufficient evidence at hand at the
time the inquest was held to justify
the expense of an autopsy.
Detectives Find No Glue
Detectives have been working on the
murder for two days past, but so far
as Is known they have been unable
to throw any light on the case. In
Ocean Park no clew has as yet been
found that will lead to the identity of
the murderer.
A searching investigation of all OF
Mrs. Milburns possessions, in the bank
and otherwise, will be made today.
This is case that has puzzled the
minds of the authorities for many
DAYS, as the greatest mystery sur
rounded the identity of the corpse up
to yesterday.
The theory advanced when the body
was found was that 1t was Marie
Stone the famous prima donna of 1.-THE
Bostonians." The Herald exploded this
idea, however, by securing an inter-
view with the noted singer in New
York, where she is living happily
with her husband, Will Mcdonald.
The description given OF the deceased
tailed with that of Marie Stone in
almost every detail, and as there had
been a woman in Los Angeles going by
the name of marie Stone" and posing
as the theatrical star who very sud
denly dropped from sight, the conclu-
sion naturally drawn was that she and
the dead woman were one and the
same.
The Herald secured a picture of
Marie Stone. the singer and the negro
porter who pulled the body of the wo-
man out of the surf at Ocean Park
was so positive" that the resemblance
was the same that he could not be
dissuaded from his view.

Angeles, who knew the genuine Marie
stone and had seen her on the stage

knew the local woman who was posing

Case of Attempted Murder Reported
From Their Camp in the River
Bed-AssaiIant Makes
His Escape

Detectives have been detailed to in
vestigate what is supposed to have
been an attempted murder in a camp
of gypsies in the Los Angeles river
bed Sunday afternoon.
During the. day a fair member of
the gypsy band went to her tent and
went to sleep on a bed near one of the
canvas walls. While she was sleeping
one of the gypsies named Foster,
who had recently been sent from the
camp as an outcast, returned, it is
alleged, and stealing to the side of the
tent where the woman slept, slit open
the canvas with his knife and then at
tackled the sleeper, stabbing her twice.
Members of the band started toward
him but he escaped and threatened to
get a revolver and kill everyone in the
camp. In anticipation of the return of
Foster the leader of the band is await
ing his coming with a shotgun in one
manu- anu ulrh MILE III tlie otllel'
Following the chase after Foster it
was found that another member of the
band had been cut but upon question
ing the man he maintained that he had
fallen on piece of glass and had been
wounded in the side. The detectives
are finding the affair a difficult one,
because of the sullen position VAIN
tained by the gypsies, who declare that
they will settle the affair among them
selves as soon as they find Foster.

MURDERED, BODY
THROWN INTO SEA

sisters body was finally traced to the
grave in the potter's field at Ocean
Park. She had read of the mysterious
circumstances surrounding the sup
posed suicide at Ocean Park and the
Herald tailed so closely with that OF
Mrs. Milburn that she could not help
connecting her with the case.
Something very peculiar came over
me like flash when 1 read the de-
scription," said Mrs. Gordon, land l
said to myself oh, it sounds so much
like my sister, 1 could not hesitate a
moment, and at once sat down and
wrote a letter to Mrs. O'Brien asking
if Mrs Milburn was in jacksonville.
My sister had told me she was going
TO Watsonville to visit her daughter,
SO / naturally supposed she was there.
At the time l read of the Ocean Park
case 1 could not imagine for a moment
that Mrs. Milburn was the victim, but
inasmuch as the description in the
paper was so near to hers | felt ought
to write to Mrs. O'Brien to make sure. :"
When Mrs. O'Brien received Mrs.
train for Los Angeles, arriving here
Sunday morning.
Planned to Leave for North
Mrs. Milburn had recently returned
from a trip to st. Louis and her re-
turn ticket read to San Francisco via
Watsonville. She had Informed her
sister here, Mrs. Gordon, of her in
tended visit to Mrs. O'Brien. and, it is
said, was preparing to leave for the
north on the night of the day she went
to Ocean Park.
1t was in this wise that Mrs. Gordon
and Mrs. OBrien were deceived as to
Mrs. Milburn's whereabouts.
According to the authorities the only
motive they are able to advance for
the murder of Mrs. NIilburn was the
money she is supposed to rave carried
on her person. The belief is that she
was enticed to the beach by someone
familiar with her financial standing,
under the presense of finding bargain
in real estate, and there cruelty put to
death. The officers also advance the
theory that she was taken into some
vacant cottage along the beach, robbed
of her money and in the exciting mo-
ments that followed strangled so tina
she would arose no suspicion on the
outside. The woman dead, her body
disposed of, so that the stain of muir
der would not leak out, and in his
anxiety to cover up his foul crime he
threw her remains into the ocean. The
probability is that the murderer took
the corpse far out from shore, as tire
body appeared to have been in the
water several days before being washed
ashore.
Coroner Criticised
The relatives of the murdered woman |
were prone to criticse the coroner for
not making a more thorough investiga-
tion of the mystery when it first came
to light. In explaining the case last
night, however DR.. Trout said
when the inquest was held there
was no evidence to show that the
woman had been murdered. TO the
contrary, there was no one to claim
the body and from all indications 1t ap-
to be case of suicide No
marks of violence were in evidence, as
near as we could find during the course
of the inquest, and as the body was
unclaimed our office did not think II
TO entail the expense Of an
autopsy. Owing to the popularity Of
the case II would have been impossible |
