Two Persons Believe
They Have Solved
Murder Mystery
Attorney Says Client
Feared Fate at Hand
of a Japanese
Woman Who Has Divorce Case Pend
ing Also on List Of Missing, Her
Husband Having Threatened
Her Life

The energetic work of newspaper
men and detectives bids fair to bring
about an Identification of the blonde
woman found murdered in Temescal
canyon near Port Los Angeles last
week.
Los Angeles police will be informed
today by Attorney Horace Appel that a
client of his answering the description
of the murdered woman has been miss
ing for several weeks.
Her description, the lawyer said to
friends last night, seemed to coincide
with that of the woman found in
Temescal canyon.
She had more than once expressed
fear of a Japanese with whom she
lived and said he would kill her some
day.
The woman was in the lower walk of
life and is said to have few if any
friends who would inquire about her If
she were missing.
Depends on Wig
The young woman, however wore a
wig of beautiful golden hair, which the
lawyer stated made it probable that
she could be identified as the woman
found in the canyon. The reason it
seemed to be improbable to him is be-
cause in none of the printed descrip-
tions was 1t stated that the woman
wore wig.
AS a matter of fact it is possible that
the blonde woman found dead did wear
false hair. The condition of the corpse
was such that the entire growth of
hair was separated from the skull, but
this fact was regarded by those who
examined the corpse as being the re-
suit of decomposition.
The body was buried Saturday, but
if necessary it will be eXhumed to make
more careful examination of the
tresSeS.
Divorcee Missing
Los Angeles police learned last night
that a woman who applied to the su-
perior court five weeks ago for a di-
vorce has been missing ever since she
filed her complaint.
1t is said she told her friends that
she feared her husband would kill her
before she obtained decree.
The ground upon which she expect
ed to secure a divorce was extreme
cruelty.
The police did not learn the name of
the missing woman last night, as their
informant said it would be necessary
to look in the court records for the
name of the plaintiff.
According to the information fur
nished the police, the missing woman
resembles in a striking manner the
published description of the murdered
woman.
Work on Sunday
All day yesterday the officers en-
gagged on the case were busy running
down clews and endeavoring to get at
some facts which would lead to an
Identification.
Efforts are being made to locate ev-
cry woman who in any way answers
the description Of the canyon victim.
Already mysteries bearing no rela-
tion to the Santa Monica murder have
been cleared through the redoubled
work of the officers, who, in trying to
clear this case, have indirectly located
other women who had been regarded
as missing but had merely sought life
anew in different surroundings and had
changed their names.

SULTAN IMPROVES;
HE HAS RECOVERED
BY Associated Press.


CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 12.-The
officials inform callers at the palace
that the sultan was suffering from the
effects of a chill during the past week,
but that he has now completely re-
covered.
His physicians, however, advised his
majesty not to risk exposure to the
open air, and hence the abandonment
of the Selamlik, Friday.
Today his majesty's condition was
improved sufficiently to enable him to
attend to various affairs.
The local press is forbidden to pub
lish anything concerning the state of
the sultan's health or of the aban-
donment of the Selamlik.
Sensational stories of the sultan's
illness are in circulation, but in best in
formed circles confirmation is given
the statement that there is a slight
improvement in his condition and that
he is in no immediate danger.
