dozen states Saturday and Sunday

Naples.-The finding of the body of
beautiful young woman on the

suspicion of murder. Apparently the
woman died about three days pre-

believe that probably she was the
victim of crime. The body was iden-
titled by the proprietor of the Hotel
CASTILLO as that of Miss Astella Reid,

was described as being very eccentric.
