EXMOOR MYSTERY, OVER 30 CARS IN
GIRL'S BODY FOUND AFTER
18 MONTHS.
Minehead. A mystery of lonely Exmoor which has balled the polico for 18 months has been partly solved by the identification of skeleton found in a peat bog near here as that of Gwendoline Molly Phillips, a 16-year-old farm servant writes & Nere Chronicle correspón. dent,
The police are still at a loss to Pay how the girl' came by her death and are by no means satisfied that there was not foul play.
A post-mortem examination is be ing made for signs of injury and En inquest will be opened this weck.
It was a Sunday afternoon in the second week in September, 1920, that Miss Phillips set off from Bock Farm, Exford, for Cutcombe, six miles away, to see her aunt and cousin. From that moment she vanished.
Police, farmers, motorists, villa- gera, the Devon and Somerset Stag Hunt, and Boy Scouts, Combed Exmoor in vain.
For, weeks the search continued Caverns and old mine shafts wore explored. Then, yesterday Mr. Grant, of Hackington Farm-about two miles from bore-wore burning gorse and bracken close to Codeond Moor when he saw a human skuli and shoulder blades just above the
urface of a pent bog.
Superintendent Hullet, of Dans- ter, was informed and the police dug out the complete human skelo ton of a young woman. A pair of strap-over shoes, stockinga and fragments of clothing ndhered to the skeleton, which was taken to Minehead District Hospital' mor- tuary.
"This afternoon Mr. J. Ford, the girl's stepfather, identified the elves and clothing ha belonging to his stepdaugliter.
The spot where the skeleton was found is on the outskirts of Hork ington Farm, on the north-east slope of Dunkery Beacon.
How Miss Phillips enmo to bo anywhere near the spot is the pro- hem which is puzzling the police. There is a direct road from here to Calcombe, where she was to have visit her aunt, and later to have gone for a motorcycle ride with For cousin, Mr. Ernest White.
To have reached the spot where her body was found she would have had to go at least three miles out of her way.
"Gwendoline was not a girl who would have gone wandering about like that," Mrs. Ford, her mother, told me to-night.
Passing Motorists discussed the mystery to-night with Mr. Tucker, of Rock Farin, who employed the girl as a farm Brrvant.
"I still maintain, as 1 did when the girl first disappeared," he said, hnt she was probably given a lift by a passing motorist. Scores of hotarists were in the district that day,
"She may have been carried away for many miles and have fallen into the bog in trying to find her
ay home in the dark."
I put this, theory to severn) villagers, but all of them pointed a that Gwendoline knew every inch of the country and therefore was not likely to have met her death in that way. It is just prasible," said one. "that she may have scrambled into the bog ne cidentally and then have become and momentarily panic-stricken
undered and fallen over; but it is not likely.
Dr. Godfrey Carter, the Taunton athologist, is making an examina tion of the remains, and on his report will depend whatever action the police take..

Drew Level With Raiders. A chauffeur (Mr, H. A, Holloway, of Lansdowne Street, Hove) gave chase in a Rolls-Royce car capable of travelling at nearly 100 miles an hour and drew level with the thieves on a lonely road near the Devila Dyke.
'He was about to force the car to stop when one of the men leaned out, grasping in his hand a heavy starting handle, and threatened to hurl this at Mr. Holloway unless he abandoned the pursuit.

The ear was a Chrysler tourer, painted grey, with yellow wheels. The index number had been black- ened over, but is believed to be A G 553. À car of the same make, but with different number plates, was found in a garage in Brighton. It was left there by two young men, who said they would shortly return for it, but did not do so.
If this proves to be the wanted car it shows that the thieves threw the Flying Squad off the trick by using unfrequented lanes to reach Brighton, probably then dispersing and making their way to London by different routes,
