Another CHASTITY Crime Revealed
at Dayton by Finding Of
Woman's Body in Canal.
IDENTIFICATION IMPOSSIBLE
Six Girls Slain in Dayton Recently
Four of Murders Have Never
Been Solved.

Dayton, Ohio, March 10. - Another
battling mystery confronts the police
in the discovery yesterday of the de-
composed body Of an unknown white
woman in the canal below the Apple
street bridge. In the opinion of the
officers it must have been in the wa
ter about month.
Harry B. Keith, colored boy, was
rowing boat on the canal when he
noticed the body. Police headquar-
tiers was notified and the body re-
moved to an undertaking establish
ment.
The woman apparently was thirty
years old and we'll dressed. She was
attired in black. She wore Romeo
slippers, but over these she had a
pair of new rubber shoes. The won.
ans under garments were in good
condition. The decomposition will, it
is feared prevent the identification of
the woman.
Ideal Spot for Crime.
The place where the body was
found supplies an ideal spot for a
murder with mystery attached. The
distance to the nearest house proba-
bly, is more than 1000 feet. The
spot is approximately 500 feet south
of the Apple street bridge.
A theory has been advanced that,
providing it was a case of murder,
the woman might have been rolled
down very steep hill skirting the
fair grounds on the east. The fair
grounds has the reputation of being
trysting place.
A month ago, Charles Siefert stated
to Coroner Swisher, he had seen
we'll dressed white woman standing at
the end of the Apple street bridge
apparently waiting fo- some one He
said she seemed very nervous. Find
ing that she was being watched the
woman walked toward the fair
grounds, which end at Apple street,
and was not seen again. This was in
the evening. seifert further states
that the woman was dressed entirely
in black.
Four Unsolved Murders.
The body was found lying half out
on the bank, face down, while both
hands were clenched and were near
her throat, as if she had tried to pro-
tect herself. The police are yet una
BILE to express an opinion as to the
probability of either murder or sui

Six girls have been found slain in
