Body of Girl Found in 1929

MONTPELIER, VT, March 80
1.N.SO.-Under personal leader
ship Of Attorney General Law
renee Jones, State and county
authorities have launched with re-
newed vigor investigation into the
strange case of "Vermont's mys-
terry woman, which has baffled
authorities for two years. -
Complete mystery surrounds
the finding of the body of an
unidentified girl in Chester pas
ture in August, 1929.
An empty chlOrOfOrm bottle
and q suicide note" found near
the body are the only clues pre-
sented authorities toward solution
Of the mystery
Reward Offered
Attorney General Jones has an
nounced he will take personal
charge of the case and has or
dered States Attorneys Lawrence
Edgerton and Ernest w. Gibson,
of Windsor and Windham coun-
ties, and those investigating the
case to spare no expense to bring
about a solution Of the mystery.
Offer of a $500 reward has been
renewed by authorities to those
who could shed any light on the
case.
Identification Fails
Following an autopsy by a medi-
cal examiner which revealed that
the girl was murdered and that
the murderer had used chloroform
in accomplishing his crime, au-
thorities began their investiga-
tionS, which for two years have
brought no gainful results.
Months passed and the body
was identified by Charles j. Pack,
ard as that of his first wife, Mrs.
Catherine Rockwell Packard. The
dead Mrs. Packard, however, re-
appeared in Manchester. N. H.,
and later appeared on the scene.
After nearly two years, the case
was again brought to the front
when a 19-year-old Bellows Falls
girl told investigators a startling
story that she knew the mystery
woman" and that she lived in
Laconia. Later she admitted the
whole story "a dream"

planes, and will endeavor to
induce the average man to in

claimed the planes are fool

Of both major parties was pre-,
d1cted yesterday by Senator Bur

In an address before the Chicago

that unless the people "are care

pei the Democrats to adopt a pro-
gram as reactionary as their op-
ponents.
People Must Decide
Mr.. Wheeler added:
Certain Progressive leaders
may issue statements saying
there will be no third party, but
the people and not the leaders
will determine whether there will
be third party in the event
old parties do not cOurageOuSly
and honestly offer and apply
remedies to meet the deplOrabIe
economic situation which exists
In this country.
II may mistake the temper of
the little merchant, the small
banker, the farmer and the

It will take more than speeches,
commissions or committees to
satisfy them.

Of this country are going to be
cOntented with political parties
that have for their slogans,

more trusts or who say, when
