Los Angeles Police
Have Murder Mystery

Los Angeles. Dec. 27.-sR-Dis-
covery of the body Of an unidenti-
fled woman, securely trussed with
canvass and binding Irvine, near
Mulholland street, San Fernando,
today provided a mystery for police.
The woman, found yesterday, ap-
parently had been dead about 20
hours. The hands had been securely
tied across the breast and the legs
drawn up behind and held with
Irvine. A bruise on the forehead
was noticed by police who, however,
doubted that the woman was killed
by being struck. Officers believed
that she had been stunned, tied up
and left to die of exposure. A sur
geon found evidences that the
woman had been drinking and an
autopsy was ordered to determine If
she had been poisoned.
