MYSTERY SHROUDS PILE
OF CLOTHING ON BEACH
Policeman's Find Recalls Allan
tic City Disappearance Of
Mrs. Westcott
ATLANTIC CITY. oct. 30.

Feminine clothing complete with the eN-
ception of shoes, was found upon the beach
front this morning and police officials be-
lIeVe the owner is i'm the ocean or has
adopted a daring species of Camoutlage to
lose her identity and escape an unhappy
existence. Under the Boardwalk near the
Hygeia pool Leek, a policeman, FOUND a
woman's waist Of Georgette crepe, PAIR
of white cotton stockings, black wool
sweater and a black mohair skirt. On the
sea end of jetty about 100 feet from
where the other garments were found neat
1y piled together, Leek, while casting ABOUT
for something to strengthen the sulciae
theory. discovered an imitation fur coat with
a collar of imitation fox fur
II Is TIE opinion of Harry Wilson, acting
CAPTAIN of detectives, that the owner of the
clothing disrobed under the Boardwalk and
wrapping herself in the colt, walked to the
end of the jetty to jump into the sea, There
was no mark of any kind upon any OF the
garments to tighten the mystery confront
ing the police. Several marks had been
torn off. apparently to conceal the identity
of the woman What may serve, however
TO point the way to discovery is section
of n French public ltion torn out Of book
with interpretations in pencil between the
printed lines.
Detectives found woman on Hygeia ave
nue who saw the supposed suicide walking
to the beach about o'clock last night The
unknown averted her face and hurried
under the Boardwalk. The case recalls
that of Mrs. Westcott, of Philadelphia, wh'
disappeared here last spring, leaving pile
of clothing under the Boardwalk at Miss
issippi avenue. No trace Of her ever wa'
found.
