Tiverton. X. l., Oct. 13.-After sew
eral hours of seeming certainty tonight
that they had identified the portions of
young wonlar's body which have
been found scattered on the outskirts
of this town, the authorities tonight
again lapsed into state of extreme
doubt. tt had been thought that the
body was that of a South Scituate
young woman, but direct comparisons
tonight disspated this belief. In an
effort to establish a connection, size

membered feet and found to fit it en-
actly. TIE young woman in mind
wears a size ) shoe.
A side attempt to identify the vic
time and place the responsibility made
in Fall River tonight, was without re-
suit also 1t led, however, to the tenn
pOrary detention of young man who
had been keeping company with a girl.
who is now missing. The fact that he
was unable to account for himself on
Saturday and Sunday nights seemed to
the police sufl5 Gent reason to hold him.
Upon asrerfaining, however, that the
mirsing girl had 10 excessive lamencS-
- a
foot here. the police released him.
The daily contribution to tho grue-
some collection of severed parts of the
body was again forthcoming today %
aid in building the whole. Today the
arms and a leg from the knee down
were found at 4 place Oft Rulgermarsh
read, nearly a mile west Of the point
where the rest of the legs were found
Monday. As in the case of al tho other
parts. the arms and portion Of the les
we're hidden just off p Dypatn. This
is taken to indicate that a vehicle
must have been used, the disposcr Of
