PEIPING FIEND'S CRIME PROBED

BRITISH GIRL'S BODY FOUND `

MUTILATED

Peiping, Jan. 11.

It is rellably stated that when the autopsy in the tragic death' of Miss Pamela Werner is com- pleted, and the findings are placed before the continued inquest, it will be shown that the mutilations the girl suffered were not entirely due to the ravages of dogs. It is possible that none of them were caused by dogs.

Miss Werner, 19-year-old adopted daughter of Mr. E. T. C. Werner, former British Consul at Foochow, is believed to have been murdered on the night of January 8.

Her body was discovered by coolles the following morning, half naked, terdbly_mutilated. She had ap parently dled from a blow on the head.

It is believed the mutilations were carried out at some house to which the girl was inken on way home, after an evening of skating with a girl school chum. The body is believed to have been disposed of later.

It la now freely predicted that the evidence will show that the crime was ene of the most fendishi imaginable.-- Reuter.
