The woman had been missing since March 2. While police were questioning Frank J. Murray, Tepresent- ative of an eastern engineering firm, an admirer of the woman 17 years, his brother D. J. Murray arrived at the station with a special delivery letter B. In a subsequent long distance ‘phone conversation, Fleanor told Chicago police that two men aban- doned the car there either the morn- ing of March 3 or 4. They were at- tempting to steal another automobile when Fleanor discovered them. They fled when he tried to arrest them. Brothers Are Questioned s After talking with the Virginia sheriff, police announced that Mur- tay and Arthur Dorion, to whom Miss Newby was reported to have been engaged, would be held only to appear at the coroner's inquest Wed- nesday afternoon. Murray’s brother, Murray, who said he did not report the woman's disappearance until nearly a week after it occurred be- cause he did not want his wife to learn of his affair with Miss Newby, was taken by officers to the clearing Newby lay. Collins as to had gone to the preserve, Murray said he never had been there before. this he was contradicted by Henry Tagge, a forest preserve warden. Murray, however, insisted he was tell- ing the truth. Discovered By Farmer Miss Newby's body was discovered by Henry W.

By previous analyses chemists and bac- terlologists were able to determine that death was caused by neither chemical nor bacteriological poisons as had first been supposed. “The cause of death was & severe gastro-enteritis, resulting in marked loss of body fluids, toxemia and con- vulsions,” Dr. L. W. Larson, Bismarck, who has been conducting the exam- ination, said Wednesday. ‘The child died in convulsions March 5, 2¢ hours after having been taken acutely ill.
