SERVANT GIRL is FOUND

chhicago, July q. Unofficial investi-
cation of circumstances surrounding
the death of a Young woman whose
body was found hanging from a fence
railing near Oak Forest, suburb, to-
day indicated that the woman was
Swedish or Norwegian domestic servant
and that she committed suicide.
The partial Identification was estab-
lished by letters which she carried and
servants wanted clippings from
newspapers.
The only evidence which might indi-
cate murder was the fact that her
watch had stopped apparently before
the spring had completely unwound.
Death apparently was due to stran-
sulation from strip OF cloth in moose
