. man giving the name Of Robert

q village near here.
Stockings Furnish Link
The bundle contained no stock
ings which led Chief Axiom to con.
meet the find with the Boston nays-
terry since the severed legs Of the
girls body discovered there were
clad IN pale green hose.
Lincoln Is eight miles from Provi.
dence and 40 miles from Boston.
BOSTON, July 14.--spurred by
the discovery Of a blood-stained
bundle at Lincoln, r. l., containing
female wearing apparel and towels
soaked In blood, police today re-.
doubled their efforts to learn the
Identity Of the young woman whose
dismembered body was found in q
cemetery at Mattapan.
The discovery OF the bundle at
Lincoln was considered by Boston
police the most tangible clue yet
unearthed in the mystery and they
were confident It would play O
major part in leading TO the identity
Of the young woman.
Pointing out that Iirls seldom
wear green hose such as covered
the severed legs OF the cardboard
box victim except on special occa'
sions. police today gave much at
tention to q report from Paw
tucket, r. l., that Pauline Mitchell
20, disappeared from her home
there recently while wearing pale
green stockings.
It was announced by authorities
today that one Of the boxes in
which the girls dismembered body
was found has been positively
identified as a product OF the
Natick Box Board Company OF
Natick, Mass. Identification of the
box was made by William Regain,
superintendent Of the box fac
tory.
The box had been shipped recently
to a Boston haberdashery, accord
Ing to the police.
Believe Auto Was Used
Since the distance between Lin
coin and Boston Is only 40 miles,
they pointed out that 1t would have
been an easy matter to dismember
the girls body near the scene OF the
finding of the bundle. cram the sew
cred parts in the boxes and bag,
and transport them to Mattapan. a
matter of about an hours driving
on excellent roads.
Surgeon Is Sought
The premeditated murder theory
was practically abandoned by au.
thorities today, the pathological dis
coveries convincing them of the ma
ture of the case: and while leaving
nothing undone to discover the
girls name and address, they also
sought the surgeon responsible for
her death.
Following his autopsy. Medical
Examiner Timothy Leary expressed
the belief that blood poisoning was
the direct cause OF the girls
death. FL
He would not say outright, how
ever, without further investigation,
whether the case was one ,of illegal
