County Physician Charles B, Con- verae, after examining the body, ead that though there was every reason to Delleve that she had been the victim ‘of @ brutal assault, he could not tell if death had direotly resulted from her injuries untill on autopsy had been performed. He believes there tp & salight fracture of the skull, but can- mot be certain until he performs an @utopsy. Found by Brewery Driver. The body of the woman was discov- ered at 830 o'clock, when Henry Stoll, & driver for the Schaeffer Brewery, ‘went to the saloon to collect empty beer oegs, He found the front door, closed and after knocking several minutes re- eelved no response, Thinking that Mra, Pagel might be in the rear, he went around to the back of the house, Here he was surprined to find the doors wide open. \ He entered without announcing him: self, and the first aight that met his eyes was the batbered head of the dead woman, She waa lying, fully dressed, @mretched out on the bed.
