Missing Persons
Files Are Scanned
For Murder Clue
Names of 10 Women
Checked in Baltimore
As Victim Is Unidentified
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE. Sept. 23.-Balti-
more police today turned to the
missing persons files in the hope
of identifying the woman whose
body was found in shallow grave
near Essex, Md. Saturday.
The names of 16 women whose
description resembled that of the
dark haired. 30-year-old victim, who
was believed to have been slain
about 10 days ago, were taken from
the files of the Baltimore Missing
Persons Bureau and police began
an intensive checkup in the hope
of obtaining some Identification.
A woman who had tentatively
identified the body yesterday as that
of her sister, returned home today
on receiving word that the miss
ing sister had come back to her
home in Dundalk after an absence
of several days. Other clues also
have failed
Shoes Are Found.
Police said a pair of shoes found
in the shallow grave below the level
of the Woman's body had been
traced to a shoe store in the down.
town shopping district, where they
were purchased several months ago
Statesmen in the store were to view
the shoes today in the hope that
the identity of the person to whom
they had been sold could be estab-
lished.
Authorities hoped an autopsy
scheduled today would reveal addl-
tional clues in the mysterious slay-
ing.
The slain woman was described
by DR.. w. P. E. Wyse, Baltimore
County medical examiner, as weigh
ing between 12O and 130 pounds and
feet inches tall.
Three small holes in the victim
skull have puzzled police. They are
about the size of small bullet wounds
The autopsy is expected to reveal
their nature. DR.. Howard A. MaldeiS,
chief medical examiner of Baltimore
City, will perform the autopsy with
city and county police in attend
ance.
One clue. furnished by a filling
station operator, blew up yesterday
when it was determined that three
men detained for questioning had
nothing to do with the Staying.
James C. Preston and Rudolph
Patek, jr., found the womans body
in shallow grave in woods near
the Sewer road Saturday. She ap-
parently had been stabbed in the
face and beaten about the head
and body.
Shortly afterward. Theodore De-
sautels furnished officers with the
number of a car he said stopped
near his filling station two weeks
ago. He said three men forced a
woman into the car and she
screamed when a door slammed on
her hand.
Two fingers on the left hand of
the woman found in the grave were
fractured, leading police at first to
believe she might have been the
woman seen struggling at the serv-
ice station.
