die together.

BODY OF WOMAN
FOUND UNDER CAR

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 21.-The
body Of a young woman. horribly
crushed, was found under a freight car
at Willow and Orianna streets at $50
o'clock this morning.
From the appearance Of the body Il
Is supposed that she had been dead
some time, though the mutilation Is so
great that a superficial examination
was unable to reveal this positively.
The body is of a woman about 25
years old, comfortably dressed, but
with no hat. 1t is about FIVE feet three
or four inches IN height and weighs
about $50 pounds. Nothing was found
upon the body to help to identify t.
She body was removed to the morgue.
Teh body was discovered lying under
a freight car by passerby who notified
a policeman. There were no marks Of
violence, such as a knife thrust, or bull
let wound on the body, though its con-
dition would seem TO sustain the sup-
position that it was placed there wher
ALREADY dead.
Lieutenant Lynch. OF the Third street
and Fairmount avenue police station
declared this morning that he did moi
think the woman found dead under q
freight car at Third and Willow
streets had ben murdered Said he
