FOUND IN ISOLATED MEADOW. SAID TO BE VICTIM OF RELIGIOUS DEMENTIA. . (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph Copyright.) (Australian Press Association.) LONDON, Feb. 22. Frozen to the ground, the unclothed body of a girl was found in an isolated meadow at Titsey, on the border of Kent and Surrey. Her garments were scattered in the vicinity. A description was broadcast and led to the identification of the body as that of Annie Pauline Goldsmith, aged 23, of West Croydon. Scotland Yard was called in, At first it was thought to be a case of murder, but an alternative theory is that the girl was the victim of religious dementia, and herself scattered hex clothing in the field and then, exhausted, died from exposure and shock. , A badge and a card bearing texts were found in the clothing.
