C. A. executive's hand were those of a woman, and not from Miss Muir's own body. v. Officers Hesitate.

Authorities hesitated to believe the San Antonio, banker's daughter could have died in such a manner, but admitted it was a possibility she had been bludgeoned by a woman and not a degenerate male, as had been assumed. Miss Muir went alone to a "lover's bench" overlooking the moonlit ocean Monday night. Two hours later she was dead, her head battered by blows from a heavy object, her clothing torn and her body mutilated. Report Studied. Detective Ed Dieckmann of San Diego sent back carter report of the hair analysis, working all day with Prof.

J. D. Laudermilk of Pomona college in examination of the hairs, clothing and scrapings of dirt from the murder scene. The report read: "Preliminary examination reveals that hairs taken from fingernails of left hand and from palm of right hand were female hairs, according to Prof. Laudermilk of Pomona college." Early in the case, autopsy surgeon Toomey had remarked to reporters the manner of killing Miss Muir was typical of female slayers rather than of men.

He said it was usual for a woman to strike many blows, as Miss Muir had been struck, rather than one or two crushing blows. Little attention was paid his statement at the time.

Some of the love-riddled clientele may be able to anesthetize their wounds by a tincture of the following from "The Asiatics," a first novel by Frederick Prokosch: "Love; well, what is it? Take any two lovers; one is the lover, the other beloved. Isn't that true? Mustn't it be so? "Can it be possible that two people ever love each other to a mathematically equal degree? And if the balance is disturbed, even ever so slightly, then what happens? 2 "One becomes a little bored, the other a little bit wretched. And the boredom grows, little by little. What's to be done?

ATHENS, Sept. -King Edward of Great Britain, cruising in the yacht Nahlin, was thrown from a skiff into the Gulf of Euboea, it was reported today, by the wash of a motorboat the yacht. British legation attaches and Greek government spokesmen, denied the story of the capsizing. The report said the king was rowing when the motor boat passed at full speed and his skiff was capsized. It was the first time the king had been thrown from a bucking boat, if true.

The motor boat turned, sped back and took the king from the water unharmed, the report said. The Nahlin arrived yesterday at the Island of Skiathos in the Aegean and after a few hours left via Skiathos island for the Dardanelles. It was expected the king would stop off at Skyros to visit the tomb of the British poet Rupert Brooke, who died of blood poisoning at Skyros. He was fighting in the Dardanelles with the British naval division. Former Dayton Contractor Dies Frank G.
