Los Angeles herald., 1906-08-11

flee, yesterday removed what was left
Of the stomach and viscera of the
woman for purposes Of analysis.
II Knockout drops or poison have
been administered It is barely possible
that some remote traces may remain.
After DR.. Days departure chloride of
lime was literally put on the remains,
as they are I'm a bad condition.
Scores of persons have called to look
at them and the ordeal Is not pleasant.
Undergarments Missing
Last night the discovery was made
that the corset cover and undergar-
ments bearing the important laundry
marks had disappeared
Assistant Finch declared that some
one must have stolen them.
"I boiled them out today to try to
decipher the laundry marks, and put
them in Mr.. Guidinger's office" said
he. "I permitted some photographs to
be taken of them and now | see they
are gone. I have my suspicion who
took them and will demand their re-
turn at once"
Coroner Trout has most of the ex-
hibits in the case, 1t is understood but
the body will be left where IL can be
viewed for some days.
Explore Canyon
Laborers, under the direction of Dep
uty Sheriff Charles S. Gilbert, yester-
day systema tically cut into the UNDER
brush i'm Tcmescal canyon, near Santa
Monica, at the spot where the unknown
young woman's corpse was found on
Wednesday afternoon.
Sheriff William A. White believes
that until the surrounding country Is
thoroughly explored no positive infor-
nation can be gained as to the manner
of death of the canyon victim. The
finding of the weapon with which the
fatal shots were fired Is particularly
desired, as it may aid In the discovery
of the murderer or assist in determin-
ing whether or not the young woman
killed herself.
Much time was lost before the vicin-
ity Of the grewsome place was explored
by officers.
Italians Interviewed
Nearby is a settlement of Italian fish
ermen who work about the long pier
at Port Los Angeles.
These men are regarded as the only
ones who go into the narrow Temescal
canyon much and it is suspected that
possibly IL a weapon lay near the
corpse one of them may have picked
it up. They all declare in the best
English they know that they never
saw woman answering the descrip-
ton of the victim enter the canyon.
What became of the woman's hat is
a puzzle a hatpin has been found
which may have been hers, but no
trace of headgear is discoverable.
The workmen will explore every foot
of ground and foliage near the scene
in the hope of finding further clews.
The Italians houses may also be
searched.
Not a Picnic Spot
Near the scene of death the wild
gooseberry, poison oak and chapparal
Is thick.
Because of the steep sides of the
canyon, it's easy access from one direc-
ton and the few persons who go there
it has been a favorite dumping ground
for carcasses of horses
The fact that the odors there are
noisome as a rule makes the Santa
Monica officers wonder why "Posey"
Horton, the Calabasas storekeeper,
should have found occasion to drive
up it's narrow confines.
He said his object was to water his
horse, yet a mile away is public
watering trough. This stands on the
road over which he admits he drove.
Horton will be asked for fuller de-
tails of the circumstances under which
he entered the canyon and what oc-
Cured afterward. The officers were
disappointed in not seeing him at the
inquest.
