deavor to clear the names of her
father, mother and sister, who were
held to the grand Jury in connection

1t is hoped by the Diemers that a
more thorough examination Of the
body will develop evidence to support
the theory that the girl drowned her
self in the river near here during q
spell OF insanity. The coroners jury
held that the absence OF water in the
lungs and bruises on the body pointed
to murder. The body was found a
week ago after members Of the family
had said the girl had gone to Florida
