NUDE GIRL'S DANGLING BODY BAFFLES POLICE Comely Flve and Ten Clerk Apparently Strangled Before Hanging Sailor's Knot in Rape. BAN DIEOO. CaL.

April 20 (AJ.) The death of comely Louise Teuber. age seventeen, and the lack of clews to the slayer, who apparently strangled her and then hanged her nude body to a tree, puzzled police here today. The body was found by a picnic party dangling from a high limb of an oak tree at the eastern edge of the city. Police sturgeons said the girl had been dead eight hours. Miss Teuber was a clerk in a 5 and 10 cent store, and the daughter of William Teuber, barber shop proprietor.

Faienda said she gave up her job Saturday night and told them she was going away. Police gathered two slim clews. One wss the double half hitch knot which bound the rope about the girl's neck. The other waa an army blanket found with the girl's clothes. Police suggested the knot might have been tied by a sailor, or one who had a sailor's training.

At the outset the case seemed as baffling as that of the kidnapping and slaying of Virginia Brooks, age ten. who disappeared from her home here in February and whose body was found fifteen miles from the city a month later. Miss Teubers body had been stripped with the exception of black pumps and gunmetal hose. Investigators said there was every evidence the girl had been dead before the long rope wss thrown over the limb. The fact the body had not been lifted from the ground was algnlficant, they said.
