SAYS SIX ELET0N
BURIER WORKED
Under BUILD
Construction Company Head
Cites Measurements of
Hole Dug.

Measurements to dispute detec-
tives' theory that the skeleton of
a woman unearthed by workmen
digging a cellar under a storeroom
at Thirteenth st. and Senate Ave.
was buried before the building was
built were disclosed today by Curtis
@. Patton of the Patton Construc-
ton Company, in charge of the ex-
cavating.
Patton said the person who dug
the hole worked in the space, one
and a third feet high between the
floor joists and the top of the earth.
This is proven, he said, by the fact
that the top of the hole is four and
a, half feet in diameter while few
feet below the surface it slopes in
until it is only two and a half feet
in diameter.
In Cramped Space
The digger, working in the
cramped space, was unable to dig
straight down and was forced to
scrape from the side, slopinS the
top Of the hole, until he had worked
his way down several feet, Patton
said. If there had been no floor
there would have been no slope at
the top of the hole. he said.
The fact taht diggers found solid
earth under eight inches of top soil
disproves the contention of detec-
tives that the ground on which the
building stands was once a dumping
ground, Patton also said.
Time Theories Vary
Although Coroner Paul r. Robin
son and medical experts have said
the body was buried less than three
years ago, detectives have advanced
the theory the body was buried
twenty-five or thirty years ago, be-
fore the building was built.
The lime in which the body was
found was inspected by City Chem
ist ]. r. Dunwoody and said to be
lump lime, which acts about as
quickly on the body as quicklime.
