! NO CLUE TO CRIME
Disappeared From Home Several DAYS
Ago and Search For Her
Revealed Dead
Body.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. July L.
The body of woman, believed to be
that of Miss Anna wendler, 25-year
old daughter of John Wendler,
wealthy farmer residing about six
miles east of Jefferson City, who
had been missing since Tuesday ev-
ening, was found in the Missouri riv-
er about three miles east of Jeffer-
son City, near Ewing last night.
That the woman had been murder
ed there is believed to be little doubt,
according to Sheriff Haganer of Cole
County, and an undertaken who exam
ined the body. Her forehead just
above the eyes had been beaten in,
apparently with some blunt instru-
ment,, and her nose was broken.
Throughout the day Sheriff Haggan-
er, his deputies and posse of about
twenty-five men had been searching
for the woman. Her father reported
her disappearance to the police Of
Jefferson City and the sheriff late
last night. Sheriff Haganer started
out with a pack of blood hounds early
in the morning, but was unable to find
the missing woman.
Last evening Tom Mansfield, fish
erman, found the woman's body lying
just in the waters edge along a wild
stretch of the river. She had appar-
emily been killed first and thrown in
to the water near the shore. The body
lodged in bunch of willows.
Miss Wendler left her home near
Usage City Tuesday afternoon to visit
her uncle. John Brennan, a farmer.
residing few miles east of Jefferson
City, saw her about seven o'clock,
when she stepped off the Missouri
Pacific tracks as the train passed.
She was not seen afterwards.
When she failed to reach home the
| family were not alarmed, believing
she had stayed over night with the
Wilforth family. Wednesday after
noon, when she did not return, they
telephoned Wilforth. He told them she
had started home Tuesday afternoon
Wendler and party of friends set
out in search of the girl. A few miles
east of Jefferson City, and near
1 Usage City, alongside the track of the
Missouri Pacific. they found slipper
her parasol and handkerchief, the
basket which she carried and lock
of her hair torn from her head. Neal
by they found pipe and quantity
of tobacco.
4 At the point where her slipper ant
the other articles were found there II
n lonely stretch of track, out of sight
of human habitation. The theory Is
that she was attacked by one or two
men at this point and in resisting
them was killed.
The body is believed to have beei
carried by boat three miles up th'
river, where it was thrown in, evi
; IDENTIFY as ruse. On the left hand ;
heavy gold band ring was found.
Wendler offered reward of $50
for the recovery of the body or for in
formation concerning the where
