Murder Suspected; Hurled From
TrestIe by Car

SEATTLE, Dec. 19.-The mutilated
body of Mrs. Dorothy woodhead. aged
90 waitress who came here two
months ago from Spokane. was found
in Lake Union beneath the westlake
avenue trestle this morning.
The lower limbs were severed from
the body by car which passed over
it during the night. Little blood was
found on the trestle and this causes the
authorities to believe that the woman
was dead before being struck by the
car
1t is the theory of the coroner that
Mrs. Woodhead was murdered and her
body thrown on the car trestle for the
purpose of concealing the crime. Two
men who were seen with her in cafes
last night are being held for investi-
cation.
