workingmen, discussing the mystery on
his car. From fragments of conversa-
tion he gathered that they had heard
of woman'S hat being found on the
Santa Monica pier about month ago,
and their conclusion and his was that
1t was another link in the Te1nescal
canyon mystery.
The hat was one of fine make, but
Conductor Lake is unable to give a
description, as he acknowledges he did
not wish to be eavesdropping. He was
collecting tickets at the time and the
remarks he overheard were said in a
tone that he could easily overhear.
In Disguised Hand
"The note was a good-by letter, as
near as | could judge from what the
two passengers said" said Mr.. Lake
last night. "They saw it and to them
it looked like it was written in a dis
gused hand. They are sure now, as
they figure that it was done by the man
who killed the woman in the canyon,
and that he merely wanted to explain
where the woman went If her friends
discovered that she was missing and
grew suspicious.
mo, can't give you good descrip-
ton of the man, but from what they
said some people in Santa Monica have
the hat and the note and are hold
ing It,"
The authorities today will endeavor
to find who took charge of the hat and
note, as it may prove valuable clew.
There are three piers at Santa Monica
and one at Port Los Angeles, but it is
not likely that much difficulty will be
experienced in finding the person or
persons who took charge of the
woman's hat when it is known that a
crime has been committed
Find Laundry Marks
The coincidence in regard to the bor-
rowed or stolen underwear is the sub
ject of much comment by the officers
working on the case.
The clothing of the mysterious blonde
found in Temescal canyon with u bullet
hole in the head was boiled yesterday
in the hope that cleansing might reveal
a clew to the identity in the laundry
marks OH the cleansed garments.
Written in india ink on a corner of
the corset were the figures 39x6. The
8 was written below the other figures.
On the waistband of another garment
was the mark 3x27 through which a
mark had been drawn as if to cross it
out. On the same band were the char
acters $50
Deputy Coroner A. NJ. Guldingers as
sistant, F. w. Finch, assisted by a
man named Minell, cleansed and boiled
the clothes with hot water and carbolic
acid at the Guidinger mOrgue and were
able to disting guish the laundry marks.
About the time thst they had done
this word was Immediately sent to all
the beach laundries to look up their
marks to see if they had any which

of the dead woman.
Search of the beach laundries by a
Herald reporter revealed the fact that
on July II a family by the name of
Levy, said to be related to Al. Levy,
the Los Angeles restaurant man, sent
bundle of soiled linen to Lorbeer Bros
Ocean Park laundry and that the
articles were marked 1921"
Tracing Bundle
The bundle was delivered to 240
Ocean aventIe, where the family was
stopping, but inquiry at that address
brought to light the fact that the
Levys moved to Los Angeles on August
8 and that there was no young woman
in the family.
Manager Abbott Of the Ocean Park
laundry said that the marks were COM
mon ones and were probably i'm use in
every large laundry in the country.
Last night Arthur Levy, at Levy's
Los Angeles restaurant acknowledged
that he had been in Santa Monica with
his family. They had occupied the Orr
cottage at 249 Ocean avenue, which is
near the Arcadia hotel. His wife had
missed some garments
! my wife is not here tonight, or I
might be able to give you the num-
ber on her clothes" said he. II think,
though, they are the ones you mention
corresponding with those on the Tenn
escal victim).
1--WE have since put all tho clothes in
the Troy laundry here and 1t may be
we cannot learn what the Ocean Park
laundry numbers arc for day or two
/ will find out, though.
81 remember that our laundry bill
was S1l.J0 and that the laundry peo-
pie gave us back $3.50 to pay for the
missing clothes
How any one else could have gotten
those garments is beyond me. L know
nothing except what you tell me. We
had no servants lately"
Woman Not Known
The young woman who wore the
Levy garments does not seem to be
known near the Arcadia hotel, Judged
by a perfunctory inquiry last night.
