UNKNOWN WOMAN MEETS
 DEATH BY DROWNING
Was Seen Floating Down the She
 tucket Late Last Night.

Shrieks and means were heard about l1.45 Tuesday evening coming from the Shetucket river about 100 yards above the Preston bridge by Frank Smith and Paul Polishewski. Smith and Polishewski ran to the bridge and saw woman struggling in the water. Polishewski ran to Franklin square and notified Officers Murphy and Nor gan who went to the east bank of the river ncar Preston bridge and Officer Delaney took off his shoes and trous- CTS and coat and started in after the woman who had by this time fioated down to a point about fifty yards be- low the bridge. Delaney had gone only few feet into the water when the woman with 8 final moan sank beneath the surface of the water.
 The officers searched along the shore but could find no trace of the missing woman. Off1cers Murphy and Morgan procured a boat and at a late hour were dragging the river with grap- bling irons. The body had not been recovered up to 3.15 o'clock this morn ing.
 It is not known who the woman was or whether she committed suicide or accidentally fell into the water. A theory advanced Is that she might be the woman who tried to commit sui eide by drowning last week but was prevented by one of the guards.
