BODY OF MISSING GIRL
FOUND IN SECRET GRAVE
Physician Held on Story of In
former Who Tried to
BIaCkmaiI Him.

SAN FRANCISCO, September 24-The
body of Miss Eva Swan. twenty-six years
old, a stenographer. formerly a school
teacher of Paso Robles. Cal, was found
last night buried in lot in the rear of q
vacant house on Eureka street. The girl
had been missing since April 20.
From information which came to the
police today it is thought she met her
death shortly after that time in the
office of DR.. James Grant, who. is now
in the city prison, while the police are
looking for William Sake, his assistant.
Miss Marie Messerschmidt. a nurse en-
ployed by DR.. Grant, is also detained.
Police Are Informed.
Three days ago Bernard Gordan told the
police that a body was buried in the
yard of the Eureka street house De-
tectives found the body of Miss Swan,
wrapped in a sheet sprinkled with acid
buried under a cement flooring near a
sewer
Gallons of nitric acid had been poured
on the body, which had been crushed into
a shallow grave in the basement room
of the cottage in a sparsely settled resi-
dence district but so carefully had the
burial place been sealed with cement
that the body was well preserved instead
of destroyed, as evidently had been
planned.
They have sent for a Paso Robes
ranchman who is said to have called for
the girl on the day she disappeared.
With the positive identification tonight
of the body found buried as that of Miss
Swan the chain of evidence surrounding
the disappearance of the young teacher is
complete. The identification was made
by Mrs. c. A. Weir, with whom the miss
ing girl roomed while she was in this
city.
Man Is Sought.
Detectives working on the case are now
centering their efforts on the apprehen-
sion of William Sake, who, according to
the story told by Bernard Gordan. as
sisted DR.. James Grant in disposing Of
the remains.
Gordan told the police today that. in
company with William Sake and a
youth whom he knew as Pike he had
pursued DR.. Grant for several months in
an effort to obtain money from him. Cor
dan said that when DR.. Grant refused
to give him more money he told the
police of the death and burial Of Eva
Swan.
Miss Marie Messerschmidt, the nurse
who was arraigned with DR.. Grant, ad-
| mitted today that she was his wife. To-
night she denied it.
