NAV Never Be Solved.

A statement was issued today from
the office of Sheriff White of Los An
geIes county regarding women who
have been reported missing, and of the
possibility of one Of them being the
one found murdered at Santa Monica,
which says, in part:
There is no report of any person
missing upon the records in Los An
geles within the last two months whose
description would fit that OF the oody
found. The only way of solving the
ravsterv is through the report of miss
ing women listed with us from time to
time. The garments and color of the
hair would probably be the only means
of Identification. With the body de-
composed past recognition and little in
dividuality in the way of clothing, it
is doubtful if the mystery of the muir
der ever be solved.

Garments of Fine Material.

The woman was of slight build, about
five feet two inches in height and
weighing about 10 pounds. She was
evidently about % years of age. Her
garments were all of the finest mate
rial Neither hat nor wrap was to be
found.
The theory of suicide is untenable, as
no weapon was found. although the vi
cinity where the body was found was
thoroughly searched. 1t is the belief
of the authorities that the woman was
shot and killed somewhere along the
beach and her body taken to the mouth
Of the canyon in an automobile or other
vehicle and then carried some 200 feet

Result of Inquest.

The coroner's jury, after an investi-
CATION of all available facts and cir
cumstances, returned verdict that the
young woman. whose identity 1t was
unable to learn, was murdered by per-
sons unknown. 1t was definitely es-
tablished that the bullet entered the
left temple and came out the right

must have fired the shot with her left

four teeth from the front of the mouth

two lower.

Body in Upright Posture.

When discovered the body was sit
ting an an upright posture, evidently
having been arranged in that attitude
by the murderer. The hands were lying
crossed in the lap. The absence OF any
iewelry, money or other valuabies suS-
gests robbery as the motive.
There were no signs of violence. The
body was not marked except for the
bullet hole. TIE grass and leaves on
the ground were not disturbed ana the
body had evidently been carried to the
spot. Two front teeth, one upper and
the other lower, were missing.
Detectives incline to the theory that
robbery was not the motive, but that
all valuables were removed from the
body for the purpose of giving the ap-
pearance of robbery and TO prevent
identification.

Bank Examiner Jones and Assistant
United States Attorney Gleason were pres

Neither they nor the police officials were
satisfied with the explanation given by
