.CHOPPEDOFF HEAD
Of GIRL ON BRIDGE
ST. Joseph Police Believe Stay
ers Decapitated Living VIC
tim With an Ak.

ST. JOSEPH, MO. June 1s.-New
clues developed today have baffeo
the police more than ever In their
attempt to solve the Lake Contrary
mystery, which was revealed when
the body OF q young woman. minus
the head. was brought 10 the surface
of the summer resort lake by . nsh-
ing party.
NAV have been carried a captive to q
bridge over the Lake rendezvous
for summer flirtations-And there
brutally beheaded. was seen today In
the discovery of indentAtions In the
bridge flooring, which the police be-
lieve were made by an Axe.
Barely visible marks, surrounded
by blood splotches, led to the bslief
that they were made BY giAnclnG
blows OF the instrument. perhaps due
to the struggles of the woman. The
position OF the marks left little doubt
that the slayers cut off the head just
before casting the body into the
water. ana to prevent idsntifieation,
carried the head away with them In
the death ear found by detectives at
Armour. Mo-, seventeen miles from
here.
The fact that the arms we're Sc
curely pinioned by = wire oiothesline
added to the belief that the woman
might have been carried to the bridge
alive. The failure to find the head,
although the entire countrywide join
ed In seining the lake and digging its
banks, has convinced the police the
slayers carried 1t off with them for
burial at some distant point.
The police were still seeking today
a woman who telephoned the under
taking establishment of Sidenfaden'
early yesterday, asking a description
Of the body. and stating that 1t might
be that of a missing relative. The
descriptions was given and the wom-
an said she might call and view the
body, but she suddenly hung up the
receiver when her name was asked
and has not been heard from since.
Chief Of Police Watson this morn
ing received . telegram from Ed
wardsville. Ill. stating that rela-
tive OF a young woman missing from
that place, was on the way to st.
Joseph to view the body.
