rs II she had tried to ward of the
knife. According to the medical ex-
am'ner this wound was made while
she was alive.
The woman Is believed to have been
German or Scandinavian. From ths
med cal examination made by DR.
Charles Norris. chief medical exam
iner, she had been mother or about
four months. She WAS about twenty
five years old and had blonde hair
and blue eyes. Her ears had been
pierced for earrings. but she wore
none. The only jewelry found on her
of the left hand. There was a back
comb in her hair with several teeth
missing, and straight comb and a
wire hairpin.
Believe She Was Slain Here
According to Captain Carey the wo-
man was murdered here and taken to
Long Island City at night. Before
death there was struggle, during
which she was hat on the right temple
with some blunt instrument The blow
fractured her skull and made her lose
consciousness. It did not kill her.
The belt which was tied around her
neck did that. Then the murderer. ac-
cording to the poticc. dismembered the
body SO that ie might dispose of 1t
more readily.
There is nothing on the woman that
lends itself as ready means of iden-
tifying her. The chemises may serve
the purpose, and button has been
known to have helped solve murder
in the past. The body has been re-
moved to the morgue here. All the
garments found wrapped around the
head have been sent to chemical lab
oratory for analysis.
Whether the murderer has managed
to dispose of the lower half of; the
hody is open to conjecture. The
muscles and tendons were severed
cleanly, and there is no evidence that
with insSne aUns passion n The man oieoth
evidently covering for kitchen
table--was made fast around the torso
with q tightly tied string.
