TONE OF THE MARKET
Shipments of livestock from all
points were heavy the past week,
due to the light arrival of the holi-

firm in all lines.
The beef cattle market continues
irregular in its demand, and this
week was no exception. Prices were
generally firm with a better average
price paid for Gamer COWS. There
is but small marketing of steers

a cut resembling that made in an ap-
pendicitis operation which, however.
had never been sewn although 1t was
apparently recent
The case has recalled three similar
mysteries which were finally cleared
up. The body was found near the
grave OF Susan Geary, an actress,
whose body was dismembered in 1905
after an operation and thrown into
Boston harbor.
Another was the locally notorious
suitcase" murder in 1923 when the
dismembered body of Mrs. George
Wolchendorf of Brockton, thrown into
the Merrimack River at 1'yngsboro,
was identified by tracing the suitcase
which contained it through manufac-
turer to Back Bay physician. The
third case was that of Nunie George
Trekos of Franklin. N. H.. who after
killing his wife and mother dismem-
bered the bodies and was driving
through Medford. Mass. in his auto
mobile with them when he was ar
rested.
Medical Examiner Leary said to-
night that the young woman had prob
ably died of blood poisoning and that
dismemberment probably was made
soon after death. He had photographs
of the head taken, and these were sent
to all Boston newspapers with re-
quest for their publication, in the
hope that this might lead to identifi-
cation.
Nearly a score Of missing girls
called at the morgue, but the descrip-
lions they furnished did not tally
with those of the victim.
The medical examiner believed that
the boxes containing the parts OF the
body had been tossed where they were
found sometime last Sunday night. A
milkman, however, told police he had
passed along the road an hour before
the discovery and was positive the
boxes were not there.

Believed Stolen

which they believed was one that
the Waterville police were looking
for. This was a Dodge coupe No.

officers thought fitted fairly well the
description they had received. The
stolen car. however, that the local
police want is registered No. 17-1SS.
This the State officers knew. but the
number was so nearly the same. and
the person driving answered so
closely to the description, they felt
it unwise to let the car go without
being sure.
