Missing Friends Welfare
Workers. Body Found
Near Versailles With an
Abrasion Over Left Eve

PARIS, April 19.-The body of Miss
Mary Ellen Appel, twenty-six years old
OF Allentown, Pa, Society of Friends
welfare worker, who had been missing
since April 7, was found last evening
by two boys while picking flowers in
q secluded part of the dense Gonnard
woods near Versailles.
A preliminary examination of the
body gave no evidence of violence ex-
cept for slight abrasion over the left
eye which DR.. Fleury, official surgeon
tor. the Department of Seine-et- Disc
said to-day might have been caused bv
Miss Appel falling on a tree stumn
near which the body was found. The
authorities at Versailles held that the
case Tas plainly suicide by poison,
and District Attorney Beylo, who has
assumed charge of the case, has in.
structed DR.. .Fleury not to perform an
autopsy, as he considered it unneces-
sary unless specifically requested by
tne relatives of Miss Appel in Allen

The examining physician said Miss
Appel had been dead eight days. On
the body were found letters addressed
to t members Of Miss Appei's family in n
America, written legibly and carefully,
several other letters, 616 francs. a
watch, diamond ring and earrings.
A young woman to whom one Of the
letters was addressed, accompanied by
Dr: Young, manager of the Society Of
Friends organization, arrived at the
courthouse in Versailles this after
noon. On opening the letter the young
woman burst into tears, but refused to

DR.. Fleury believes the cause of death
was neurasthenia and probably Miss
