Investigate Death Os Illinois Woman Dismembered Body Found In Basement Jerseyville, 111., Aug. I—(UP) — State’s attorney Frank Reisner of Jersey county said today that he will continue an investigation into the death of Mrs. Nettie Dunham Ford, 53-year-old widow whose burned and dismembered body was found in the basement of her home yesterday. At an inquest last night, a coroner’s jury returned an open verdict stating that Mre. Ford died of burns, cause of which was "unknown.” Reisner said that he was convinced that Mrs. Ford was murdered. Coroner Herbert W. Gubser, who testified as a witness at the inquest, sairf that a large part of the woman’s skull was missing. Gubser said he was not qualified to determine whether the skull was burned or whether it had been hacked. One of the woman’s legs was found in the bedroom, where the fire started, and the rest of her body was in the basement. The body had evidently fallen through an eight-foot hole which was burned in the floor. Mrs. Ford, mother of five grown children, was employed as a cook in a Jerseyville restaurant. She was in apparently good health and had no known enemies. The woman’s brother, William Dunham, and her son, Pfc. Wilbert Ford, and their wives visited her the night before the tragedy. They said she was in good health and spirits when they left at 9 p.m. The fire was caused by an oldfashioned oil lamp. The house was not wired for electricity. It was believed by some that Mrs. Ford may have suffered a heart attack and fell to the floor, smashing the lamp, and that her body dropped through the hole in the burned floor into the basement. Reisner said that he thinks the woman was attacked and murdered and the killer then smashed the lamp and set fire to the body. He said the manner in which her right leg was severed at the knee did not indicate to him that it had been burned and no trace has been found of the missing part of her skull. o — Markets At A Glance By United Press Stocks irregularly lower in quiet trading.

Marshal Alexander Governor Os Canada To Succeed Athlone As Governor Genera! London, Aug. I.—(UP)— King 'George VI has appointed field marshal Sir Harold R. L. G. Alexander to succeed, the earl of Athlone as governor general of Canada. It was understood that the date for Athlone's return to Great Britain and the installation of Alexander has not yet been set. The earl's normal term was due to expire in June and he said then that he did not propose to extend his term for any length of time. It was expected that he will leave Canada by late summer. The earl,"who is 71, is the king’s uncle. He has been governor general since 1940. Lady Margaret Alexander said her husband, who is now in Italy, would require several weeks to settle his affairs and thus it was uncertain when they would leave for Canada. Alexander, who was 52 at the time of his appointment, is the youngest officer ever to hold field marshal rank in the British army. At 35 he commanded the Irish guards and at 45 he was the youngest major general in the British army. .He went to Burma as commanding general in 1942 and kept the Japanese at bay for four months while bringing the British army back to India. He was Allied deputy commander in North Africa in 1943 and named supreme Allied commander of the Mediterranean in November. 0 — - Democrat Want Ads Get Results
