bordering the marsh. Mrs. Iva
Graham, who moved from, the
shack two weeks ago, said she
visited the house last Saturday to
get some articles left there when
she moved to Oakland. Police said
no suspicion was attached to her.
She could not account for the
stains, apparently blood, on the
hatchet or the fact that it was
found in the house under a stove
when she said she left it "outside
at a wood pue.
" The possibility that the sup
posed murder victim may be Mrs.
Bessie Loren, 28, trained nurse of
Oakland, who has been missing
since August 1. was being investi
