the world. The frenzied search for
spices, used by ancient peoples as

Studied For Identity OfWomon
 Massachusetts
 Hunter ls Led
 To Body by Dogs

North Hastoa, Mass. peo. ae-- WP--A rottlng strand oe rope was believed today eO be che best means ce Identifying a woman whose body was found trussed in Q blanket and thrown In a field.
 Clad only in a white slip and pAntles. the body was tied hand and foot and rolled ln the blanket. It was found yesterday by Carl Fateon, e5, a North Boston hunter who was led to the scene by his hunting dogs.
 A preliminary examination show Cd the woman had suffered c brok. en bone in the throat and led Go the belief she had been straneled and thrown into the field several months ago.
 District Attorney Frank D. Smith said no one was reported missing from North Easton or nelghborlng towns and said it was possible the woman was taken for ride, strangled and her body thrown Into the field as the car went by"
 Decomposition made it impossible to determine the woman's age or distinguish her features, according to Medical Examiner Andrew ]. Leddy, who said, however, that she apparently was "strangled quite Q while ago."
 The woman's rayon underthings and the tattered blanket were ex- amined for some indication of where she came from, but authori- ties believed the rope used to bind her was the best clue.
 State chemists examined the rope strand by strand tu an ate tempt to trace it to the store or plant whence it came.
 Police said the victim was about 8 feet s inches tall and probably had dark brown or black hair. She had a dental plate containing three false teeth in the front of her mouth, which police took as an in- dicatson that she was not . young woman.
