WOMAN’S BODY
DISCOVERY UNDER WHARF. NAKED CONDITION. (Per United Press Association.). Auckland, June 2. This afternoon men in a boat found the badly decomposed body of a woman caught on the timber work beneath the Panmure Wharf. The body, which was naked, has not been identified. A rope about nine feet long, of the thin type used frequently for clothes lines, was wound about the legs. A curious circumstance was that several cornsacks, which were apart from the body, were tied to one end of the rope. The woman’s features were not distinguishable. The right hand was missing, and much of the flesh of the legs and lower part of the body had disappeared. No report of any missing woman, which could be associated with the known facts of the case, had been traced at a late hour this evening.
