BODY OF ELDERLY BRIDE
 FOUND IN SEATTLE LAKE

SEATTLE, Aug. 9-The naked, mutilated body of a woman was found in a trunk on the surface of Lake Union yesterday, and it has been identified by dental work as that of Mrs. Kate Mahoney, wealthy bride of 67 years, who has been missing since the middle of April. The police had been dragging the lake, in conjunction with diving operations for more than a month, convinced that the body of the miss ing woman had been disposed of there.
 The face was unrecognizable as the result of the use of quick lime but identification is thought to have been proven conclusively by the teeth. The coroner says that death apparently was caused by heavy blow on the front of the skull.
 Mrs. Mahoney's husband, Jam, $ E., is now confined in the county jail, where he has been held for two months on several charges ot forgery in connection with an al legged fraudulent power of attorney, through the use of which Mahoney is said to have obtained his wife's property.
 Mahoney has consistently denied that he knew what had become of his wife.
