In a few years she was carrying large sums of money between New York and Chicago and the West Coast and frequented night clubs with underworld figures. Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel, a notorious gangster, was shot to death in her palatial home near Los Angeles in 1947 while Virginia was vacationing on the French Riviera. Underworld sources said Bugsy was rubbed out by the Al Capone mob because he was getting in the way of their plans to monopolize the country's world-wide network of betting wires.

Even after her hook-up with the mob, she was a shadowy figure and managed to keep the association secret. For years she moved freely in New York Cafe Society and passed herself off as an heiress. It was during the Kefauver hearings into crime and the underworld that the heiress story was shattered. She appeared on thousands of television screens as the charming witness whose flippant replies to her inquisitors' questions delighted the Police said the cause of her death was not known and that an autopsy would be held. She went by the name of Hill-Hauser.

Police said the body was found early today at Neuberg Hill, near Salzburg, and that the body did not show any signs of violence. Relatives said she had been missing for two days. As Virginia Hill, the Lipscombe, beauty made headlines when she appeared in the televised hearings of the Kefauver Committee. The red-haired beauty who gained fame as a companion and special messenger for America's most notorious gangsters, started life in humble circumstances. She was born in 1916, one of 10 children of livery stable operator W.

M. Hill and -his wife, Margaret. She first surfaced in Chicago in 1933 as a shapely 17-year-old with ideas about getting to the top fast. SALZBURG. Austria.

(UPI) Virginia Hill, 49, the mystery woman who became a central figure in the Kefauver Crime Hearings of the 1950s, was found dead today. Her son said she died under mysterious circumstances. She had been missing for two days when her body was found this morning near a night club just outside this festival city. She was identified by her estranged husband, Hans Hauser, a former ski champion. Virginia, the high-living friend of gangster Bugsy Siegel and other lords of the underworld, had lived in seclusion in recent years in a secret Alpine hut.

Her son, Peter Hauser, 15, worked as an apprentice waiter. There were reports she had been writing her memoirs and that she feared revenge from the gangsters mentioned in them. First investigation said there had been no sign of violence. "I can't understand why my mother died so suddenly and under mysterious circumstances," Peter said. a is I in i in, ii mm in il Mi (AP Wirephoto) 1 UN VIRGINIA HILL girl friend of underworld Second Time, Same Suspect rnrn if ii (9 If" a 1 5 IS) 3 ALElEWS EORT IK UDERD By SYLVIA MALTZMAN (Staff Writer) POMPANO BEACH A brazen bank robber sought by the FBI for the holdup of the Atlantic Federal Savings and Loan Assn.
