•§ 332-334 S. Broadway, Lot Angeles §,
six week* ago a woman wearing much
jewelry was one of a party at the ship
hotel who because of bolsterouflnesa
had Jx»pn «Ject«d.
Admiral Frank Lawton doclftrert yea*
terdfty that Johnson's story wit* im
probable from the fact that hundreds
of guests visit the dining room month*
ly who In many rssp«cts answer the
description of the Santa Monica
tlctlm.
Johnson mentioned that a well
known cigar drummer was host of this
particular party. I He had been making
frequent trips to the beaches selling
cigars. Of late he has not been seen
and there appears to bn ground for the
belief that this traveling salesman has
disappeared. This, of course, may
have no bearing whatever on the death
of tho young woman In question,, and
may he merely a coincidence.
Sheriff Whitfl yerterday talked' with
Johnson regtftfdimr his statement*, hut
Is not Inclined to think that the be
jewsled woman and ths victim are the
same.
Not Richly Dressed
There was no Jewelry on tho dead
woman and no reason to believe, that
she ever wore any. Her clothes were
not of tho best and hardly of the de
gree of finery worn by persons with
means. They were neat hut not costly.
City Marshal' |'1K; It Barretto of
Santa Monica, has been conducting an
inquiry of his own.' His theory is that
the woman was probably brought from
Los Angeles or elsewhere in an auto
mobllA, robbed' and shot. He has no
records of. any missing woman from
his vicinity. •
"We occasionally find hndlos on tha
beach cast up by tho. waves," said he.
"but seldom find that of a woman In
the nearby canyons. This body was
found outstdo of the limits of. Santa
Monica, but we are doing what we can
to clear the case."
Evidence Summarized
One of the officers summarizing the
day's work yesterday said: :■
"The officers and detectives who
spent the day in an effort to. untangle
the mystery | of the murder of the
young woman whose decomposed body
was found Hitting- in Temescal canyon
yesterday are no nearer a solution of
the problem than they were this^ morn
ing. . . , ...
"That the semi-blonde, frail of figure
and well dressed, was murdered is not
questioned.
I "The ■ bullet hole through the head
tells the story of a 38-callber shot. The
bullet entered near the left temple,
coming out- almost directly opposite.
"Coroner Trout's jury decided that
It was a case of murder. ! They deemed
It unlikely that a woman could have
fired a shot with the left hand and- re
mained sitting upright. Absence of
any weapon argues against the suicide
theory. ...
, "The absence of jewelry op valuables
of any description .would Indicate rob
bery as a possible motive,' although the
belief Is that whatever of value she
may have possessed was taken for the
purpose of frustrating identification of
the victim. " • • • ' - • • ■
- "Death might 1 ' have occurred two
months ago. ;, -, ,■ .
Baffles Identity
' ■ "Tho two npper and two lower front
tieth . are missing. They may have
been filled or crowned and removed to
baffle Identifiers. : Asmalf gold filling
was discovered In the right eye tooth.
"The body was viewed by many peo
ple today, but none came who recog
nized the body or remembered of ever
having seen a. woman- so dressed. ■
j "Judged 1 by the hair (mine being
gray) and dress and- teeth,, it is proba
ble that, t&e woman was not over 30
years old. • . .
;."Dej|uty Sheriff Gilbert spent
hours; In.' the i canyon, had the brush
and; nndergrowth; la the vicinity- re
moved fbr several feet but found noth
ing except a couple- of side combs sim-
Uarto the- one in the hair when the
body was found. ■ /' -. ■ ■
-. "Thus far the officers are without a
promising' clew. •- ;■ - - •■ ■ ".
"The garments are not such as are
usually worn by ths fast set. The
clothes- are not elegant nor -yet those
of a domestic."
Two Women Attracted
! The presence of two women at the.
Santa morgue yesterday seemed
for a time to furnish a clew and. Messrs.
Gilbert and Barretto traced the two
women and talked to "them regarding
the object of their visit. Scores of
visitors had called during the day, but
these two acted as though ■ they bore
a secret.
They . proved to be Mrs. Mary A.
Chapman, lessee of two rooming houses
tn Ocean Park, and Mrs. Belle Lee,
wife of a policeman at Venice.
i Mrs. Chapman is a sister of Thomas
Horton, the Calabasai storekeeper who
first found the body, but she saya she
was drawn •to the Guidinger " under
taking establishment by a haunting
fear that the dead woman may have
been a young married woman who was
one of her roomers. Thla woman fell
out with her. husband and disappeared
about ' three • weeks ago..' Her people
lived in the Eastlake park neighbor
hood and her' brother was a- member
of the band at Venice. • ' ■
Not the Right One
As soon as she learned that the dead
;woman had black 1 hair, Mrs.- Chapman
quietly departed. She said the woman
who she feared was tbe victim had
blonde hair. . ' ,' ! • ; . '■'
. . Horton's course .since - finding the
body has caused some criticism of him
by the officers, who say he should have
attended the inquest. Calabasas has no
telephone or' telegraph office, ami be
cause of its Isolation no word could be
gotten to him. .-. ■ ' '
, The Horton family owns 1300 acres' of

land beyond Calabasas on the road te
: Ventura. • •«-•>•■ .
"tit brother was here in Ocean Park
to we me Rnnday," declared Mrs.
: Chapman. "He brought Mrs. Mftttie
dB Turk, our coasln, with him. He *ald
nothing of finding tli« body, «rt h<» must
have made the discovery after he left
here on his way home.
"He drove here with a gray horse. He
is a widower, hAVlng lost his wife and
little daughter from the samd cause
spinal meningitis."
Nearby Retorts Raided
Development)* last night In the Rants
Monica .mystery add some new theories
and clews.
Opinion la Raining ground In the
beach cities that the woman was mur
dered In Los Angeles or some town
wlthtfi driving distance' of Port Los
Angeles and that her -body was de*
posited In the canyon during the night.
There are several resorts In or near
the old Santa Monica ranyon. about
throe miles south of where the body
was found, any one of which, It Is
claimed, might have been the pre
liminary scene of the crime.
Only recently Constable De la Monte
of Los Angeles swooped down on sev
eral of these resorts and confiscated
gambling devices that had for a long
time previously helped to entertain the
glided Los Angeles youths, who, with
their consorts, occasionally camo down
In automobiles for the purpose of hav
ing "a time."
! The murder of one of. these women or
of a dupe that had been lured to the
resorts and caused or then toned to
cause trouble, would be quite in keeping
with the surroundings and past record
of .the place.
Perhaps by Coast Steamer
There is also a possibility of the
Woman having arrived at Port Los
Angeles on one of the coast steamers
and having k trolled or been decoyed
Into the canyon, which Is but a short
distance from the wharf.
Kuhns Heard From
H. D. Cheney, manager of the ship
hotel at yeuice. stated last night that
about six weeks ago a party of three
meil and a. woman had come to the ship
on several evenings and had been more
or less boisterous while there.
1 The woman, he snld, filled the descrip
tion of the body found near Port Los
Angelen, and named one of the men
As H. D. Kuhns, a. cigar salesman for
Anthony Scliwnmm of 328 North Main
street," Eos Angeles, who disappeared
and caused his employer anxiety at
about that time. ■;'..-■
Kuhns. it is sold, recently wrote to
Schwamm from New .York, saying that
he had been 'on a trip and was en
deavoring to forget the past and stnrt
•life anew. • ■ -.-■■■

Mrs. Powers Missing
; Los ' Angreles \ police are asking the
question: "Was the body of the: young
womaiv found- rtear Santa Monica can
yon Wednesday night that of Mrs. E.
M. Powers, who disappeared from her
home in this city about a month ago.".
I Mrs. ' Powers' is - said to closely, re
semble the description and was dressed
In a similar fashion when she left home.
■A mysterious feature of this story is
that fllie- police can find no record about
MrSi Powers. ..■,■•
| One of the detectives remembered that
a search -was made for a. woman of that
name, but the record had been mislaid.
i There are a number of Powers farr.ill.fi
In Los- Angeles. Several -were 'visited
.yesterday,, but they could not furnish
any Information. With this slight clew
the . police will endeavor to . aid tho
county authorities In the Identification
of the body. \-;
All other records of missing women
were thoroughly searched, yesterday,
but. no -one was found to answer the
.description. .' .. ■', ; . >
, .-.-Wlmmx. asked whether or not the body

CHICAGO, Aug. I).— Henry H. Her
lng cashier of the Atllwnuken Avenue
State hank, which closed Its doors
three days ago, was arrested today
and will be refused his relenae on ball
until his connection with the disap
pearance of nearly $1,000,009 of the
bank'n funds la cleared up.
Paul O. Htetisland, president of tho
defunct Institution, is still n fngitlve,
and nl though nearly 100 detectives are
searching for the misslnß president,
his whereabouts Is us much a mystery
as ever.
Herlngr was arrested this afternoon,
two hours nfter the time ho had pre
viously announced he would give him
self up. He was taken at once tn the
office of Chief of Police Collins and put
through- n thorough examination as to
his knowledge of President S.tensland's
mismanagement of the institution. . -
Herinjr declared he did nbt know
where President Stensland was and
had hod no communication with him
for over a week. The cashier strenu
ously denied the charge that he him
self . was partly responslblle for the
failure of the bunk. ' ■ . . . ',; i
1 ferine maintains that he. Is not
guilty of breaking the banking laws of
Illinois, but . that President Stensland
Is responsible, as Horlng in his exam
ination declared ' he' never benefited a
single dollar by President Stenslandls
peculiar system of banking-.
Explanation Unsatisfactory
Bank Examiner- Jones ] and Assistant
United States Attorney Gleason were
present ' durlnnr the examination of
Herinfr. Neither they nor tbe police
officials wer satisfied with, tho explana
tion, given by Herlng of his connection
with the cnllanse of the bank, and it
was accordingly decided to refuse ball
to Hering until the affair had been fur
ther investigated.
• Receiver Fetzer renorted to the su
perior court today that "a dividend of
nt least 25 per cent would probably be
declared -to ' depositors in the bank
ifc-ithin the next two weeks. '
i This, it Is said, will be followed by
a second dividend, although the re
ceiver- tonight was not in. a position to
state I how much of their savings the
22,000 ' depositors would ! recover from
the defunct institution.:
At a. meeting of the board of direct
ors of the bank this afternoon a reso
lution, was adopted appointing a com
■mittee j to devise ways and means for
apprehending President Stensland ■ and
straightening out the affairs of the
bank.- -
' The directors declare that there will
be found a sufficient revenue from the
property assets, etc., to pay all' the
in full.
Receiver Appointed

at llro'clock tonight was appointed re
ceiver- of the principal estate of Presi
dent Stensland. The eutate ia valued
at »500,00fc - - ' . . ' V'-^r ■■'.!
'' ■ Further examination of the bank's
books disclose that in some cases 25
per cent of the capital stocks had been
'loaned to persons connected with the
bank.
It is discovered that President Stens
land had loaned the- Paul O. Sitnsland
real estate company $1.,300.utJ0.
The most startling: discovery • of
fraudulent work was a "side" ledger
which Cashier Hering took, from a
hidden drawer.
This he is said to have admitted to
the" investigators was kept from the
state bank examiner on his annual
visits.
In it, so far " as " investigation was
made tonight, were found ■ entries of

gregating $191,000. ..' '
DIRECTORS MAY BE PROSECUTED
Those Interested'in Bank Said to Be
Responsible for Loss
By Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Aug. 9.^-Evldence which
may lead to the prosecution, of the di
rectors for responsibility for President
Stensland's $1,003,000 theft by forgery
was among the general developments
yesterday touching the mulcted Mil
waukee Avenue State bank. ■ ■ . ■
.It developed that the directors of
the Institution deliberately neglected to
enforce such precautions as would
have made impossible Stenaland's op
erations in fictitious paper directly un
der their noses. ■ . ■ • . :
Stensland never was required to
account for the vast amount of money
which apparently was being 11 borrowed
by small tradesmen in. the neighbor
hood and by small depositors in the
bank.
In view of the distress brought to the
depositors by mismanagement, respon
sibility of the directors is declared to
be nothing less than criminal and will
be made the subject of an Investigation
by the grand jury.
It Is expected that the evidence will
be laid before the states attorney as
soon as Receiver Fetzer and Hank Ex
aminer Jones can complete their re-
Big Store Will Be Closed
One of the results of Hering's reap
pearance will be that the eo-opcnitiva
store 'Bald to have furnished a channel
far dissipating nearly (500,000 of the
bank's funds will be closed.
lieeeiver John C. Fetser said this
morning that he will ask instructions,
of Judge Brentano on the disposition
of the stock In the store. Another de
velopment expected la that the estate
of the fleeing, bank president, of an
estimated valtfe of $600,009, will be
deeded to the receiver by Theodore
Stensland. <
"I am collecting the assets of the
bank, not ruimiui; business . enter
prises," said Receiver Fetser today.
"So this store will be closed. The $300,
000 In co-operative store bonds men
tioned by Cashier Hering ware discov
ered In the bunk's vault yesterduy."
First Statement Too High
Receiver • Fetzer declared that the
first statement of cueh in hand at the
bank was $300,000 too high. It was said
that there was $1,050,000 cash in sight,
lnntead there is only about $750,000.
"This does not necessarily mean a
■loss," Mr. Fetser explained, "but there
ware Many Iteniu carried on the bank's
books as cash that were not co in
reality."
