I, Oct. 28.—The body of a blonde bobbed haired woman found slain early today in an uban- doned iron mine hole near here has been identified as that of Mrs, Grace Thomas of Rocky Run, near Glen Gardner, Frank Thomas, her hus- band, who estfblished the woman's identity after having been brought here by state police told the officers that when he went home on Sunday night he found the place de1erlea and his wife gone, .

He added that when he came home Sunday night to find that his wife had been there he found -two windows broken out, the house in disorder, and bedding and other furnishings upset, some of which was missing.

A small testament in which was written a name, was found in one of the burlap bags, and was taken posgession of by state police pending an investigation. They refused to divuige the name in the volume.

J., where the firm conducts a feed store; while two others had the naries of feed stores in Asbury and Ludlow, N. J.

Dead About Two Days County Physician Cummings sald she had been dead about two days. Mrs. Mooney declared that her twelve-year-old son, Matthew, Jr., told of seeing a body in the mine hole, last night when he came home late.

This forenoon she went with her son to the mine and At once reported her discovery to County Physician Cummings and the state police, Warren County Prosecutor Smith an] Coroner Fisher came here this noon to perform an autopsy on the unldentified body while state po- lice set up a statewide search for the murderer. A signet ring, without initials, was found on the wedding-ring finger and one or two gold teeth in front served as further clues for pursu- ing identification. The condition of the woman's clothing which was found in the burlap bags indicated that she had been a woman of moderate means.
