That the woman found murdered in
Temescal canyon is not Mamie Schultz,
formerly living on San Fernando
street, near Sunset boulevard was es-
tablished to the satisfaction of her rel
atives, Mrs. Belle Anderson of 1885
North Shore avenue, and Mrs. Jennie
De Portee, who with Detective Steele
visited Guidingers morgue at Santa
Monica yesterday afternoon.
Mamie Schultz was known to have
had apparel much like that of the
murdered woman, but closer scrutiny
of the exhibit showed the visitors that
they were in error.
The Schultz woman and her husband
quarreled and she left him, taking her
10-year-old son with her. She left the
lad in charge of Mrs. Anderson, agree
ing to pay S. a month for his board
and lodging.
Sends for Her Son
For short period she visited him
regularly, and then her visits stopped
and the money for his keep was de-
livered by mall
Three months ago she sent a mes
Senger boy to her sister to take the
boy in charge and deliver him to her
at her address on Winston street
| There was a quarrel over the surren-
| der of the boy, but the messenger boy
won out and so far as is known de-
| liVered the boy to his mother. Since
that time Mrs. Anderson has not seen
or heard from either.
Long Beach Tale
From Long Beach comes weird
story of a young woman held prisoner
there who it is thought may be the
canyon victim
The letter of information follows:
"HYNES, Cal, Aug. 10.
ITO undertaken or coroner:
"Since reading in the newspapers the
accounts of the finding of the body of
the murdered woman in Temescal
canyon l am convinced the body is
that of the woman who was held a
prisoner in a rooming house at Long
Beach.
''She was in the custody of two men.
but escaped from them and disap-
peared six weeks or two months ago.
81 saw the girl. and her description
tallies exactly with that of the MUIR
dered woman.
my daughter, Mrs. Jacques, who
lives on Pine street, between Eighth
and Ninth streets, Long Beach, in
formed me of the fact that the woman
was held prisoner.
81 advise you to investigate this, as
the girl appeared to be in fear of death.
''E. L. WRIALEY."
Miss Winchester's Case
A third disappearance which may
| have some bearing on the case because
of similarity of laundry marks is that
of Miss Winchester, whose laundry
mark, made at the Empire laundry, 149
| South Main street, bore the number 50
81 on the waistband.
Miss Winchester delivered bundle
of laundry to the Empire laundry June
5 and called for it in person June s..
! Her laundry bill was SIPS, a larger
amount than the general run of call
bills. Considerable work was done for
her previous, but since then she has
not been customer.
Tell of Daughter Gone

Chief of Police Auble and informed
him they believed they, could identify
the body. They told story of the dis
appearance of the daughter of one of
the women, who had taken up ten
derloin life
Neither had sufficient money to pay
| their fare to Santa Monica and the
chief supplied them with money. The
women have not called at Guidinger's
morgue, and the police are mystified.
Old Soldiers Case
From a street car passenger who
| comes in from Santa Monica every
J morning this interview was obtained:
! II know who the father of the girl
was The old man committed suicide
about three months ago. He and the
| girl lived together. 1 don't know where
| the mother resided, but in the east
somewhere. Shortly before the father
killed himself the girl disappeared and
has not been heard of since. l haven't
a doubt but that the old man shot his
daughter and then killed himself"
Three months ago 1t developed an old
soldier Charles w. Cook, COMMITTEES

Probably a Tourist

base this judgment upon the fact, here
