9. NEW YORK, June 10 G.N.SO. .
;SStarr Faithful, 25-year-old New
York beauty, whose bruised body
was found on a nearby beach on
Monday, was murdered by two
smen, one of whom is a prom
zinent politician, District Attorney
Elvin N. Edwards, of Nassau
. county, said today.
q The young woman, cultured
and the daughter of wealthy
family, was murdered In New
York after she mysteriOusly dis
appeared from her Greenwich
Village home in the same block
where Mayor. Walker resides. Her
body was taken to the beach by
automobile, placed in a boat, and
then thrown overheard, the
official said.
The district attorney did not
offer a motive for the murder.
Investigation by officials cast
some doubt as to when Miss
Faithful left her home in the
village for the last time. Her
estep-father, Stanley Faithful, q
wealthy manufacturing chemist
who moved to New York from
Boston less than a year ago, said
she left home early Friday morn
ing. The investigators said she
returned home about 4 o'clock
Friday afternoon and that she
was hysterical and had been
drinking.
She returned to her home from
Q bon voyage party at the Cunard
Line pier and then apparently
left the house, possibly without
her parents knowing she had
been there.
District Attorney Edwards re-
ported the girl visited the pier
twice Friday, once in the morning
and again in the afternoon. When
she left in the morning she got
into a taxicab and told the driver
to take her home. Then she
stopped the cab. told the driver
she "onIy had 10 cents" and
walked away, according to Ed
wards. When she left home she
had So or 81 in her bag.
Previous Scene Recalled

noon Friday until about four in
the afternoon, when Miss Faith
full returned to the pier, were
unknown. She was hySterical
when seen at the pier on her Sec

Fridays incident at the pier
was the second involving Starr

and said she was seeing friends

( While waiting for a tug to re-
move her from the liner, the
