FIND BODY OF SLAIN WOMAN

Throat Is Cut, Riba Broken, Clothing Partly Burned Off—Robbery and Murder Evident. Los Angeles, Cal., May 10.—With her throat cut, her ribs broken and her clothing partly burned off, the body of an unknown woman of dark complexion and apparently thirty years old, was found in a vacant house in Arlington street by a carpenter who had been sent to put the house in repair. The woman had apparently been lured to the vacant house, robßed and murdered after a fierce struggle, and her clothing set afire in order to destroy evidence. The only article found on the body that may lead to its identification was a Catholic scapula bearing the imprint "Children of St Mary, Twelfth and Blue street, ChL eago.”
