LOS ANGELES. Sept. 23.-Discov-
cry of the body of Jacob Charles
Denton, Los Angeles capitalist. who
disappeared four months ago, buried
under several tons OF earth in a
Theoretically sealed box in the cellar
OF house at CTS Catalina Street to-
day, brought to light what the po-
lice characterized as the most weird
murder mystery in the history of
the city.
Lawyer Sought Client.
The body was found by private
detective engaged by Dentons attor-
ney, Judge Avery, when Denton's
continued absence aroused his sus-
picions. Judge Avery said Denton
had been divorced and had q Laugh-
ter. Frances Denton, living in Phoe-
nix, Ariz.
Denton had left will with Judge
Avery, and when the latter wished to
consult his client about the instru-
ment. he was unable to find him.
The house in which .Dcnton's body
was found was his property but hal
been occupied by tenants for some
time The present tenant took the
property through an agent about a
month ago. The former tenants were
the subjects of search today.
The pistol with which the police
believe Denton was shot to death,
the room where he is believed to
have been slain. and letters drawing
attention to three women for whom
the police are searching were found
within, n few hours OF the time Den
tons body was discovered.
Last Seen In August.
First reports to the police were
that Denton had been missing since
early last June. Later, however,
when his attorney looked up the date
OF his last interview with the man
and other sources of information
were developed. tho date when he
was last seen was fixed definitely
at August TO-, Physicians reconciled
the first statements that , he had
been dead three months by saying
the action of quicklime buried with
the body had made determination of
the intervening time difficult and
largely guesswork.
Police and detectives called into
the case by the private investigator
who had discovered the body
learned Denton had given up his
apartment and had been occupying
at the time OF his disappearance a
