LIGHT ON MURDER MYSTERY.

Was Miss Jensen.

oner Z. A. Sawyer said today he was
strongly of the opinion that the girl
murdered on Mount Tamalpais last
summer was Miss f. Jensen and he
was convinced that Identification of
the clothes ana trinkets made by Mrs.
Eleanor Littlefield was correct 1.-THE
only explanation of the tragedy is
that the girl who was plain and sim
pie sort of young woman, was taken
up the mountain by the man who
Mrs. Littlefield hads seen her with
declared the coroner ma statement
to the United Press. II questioned
Mrs Littlefield carefully and learn
ed the Jensen girl was large, pow
erful woman who probably had done
hard work in her girlhood and may
have been forced to labor on the
farm. There is every reason to be-
lieve from her clenched hands and
other evidences that the girl died only
after terrific fight in which the
slayer resorted to the brutal use OF
a heavy stone to crush out her life
