The body of a girl., mutilated,
dismembered and unidentified, lay
In tho city irtortuun: after It bad
been discovered early today on a
lonely road that winds Its way be
tween two cemeteries In the Mat
tapan district of the city. Police
believe the young woman, at
tractive and apparently refined
had been . dead a week and that
her body had been cut up and
packed Into two boxes and burlap

lime last Sunday. This was In.
dlcaled by a superficial examina

The only clue left for tho police
to work on was the manner or ty

were tied, apparently by n seaman
or some one familiar with martiio
