A wrong telephone connection and a robbing girlish appeal, and get me. Mother, today constituted the vague and only clue unearthed alter a week of frantic search for 18-year-old Barbara Pitcher, McGill University student and daughter of a prominent yvestmount family. Police said that about 9 oclock the night of March 21, when Miss Pitcher disappeared, the telephone rang in the house of H. W. K.

Hale. Westmount. Mrs Hale answered and heard a sobbing voice, evidently that of a young girl, saying, Come and get me. Mother Mrs Hales daughter at the time was a patient in the Montreal General Hospital and thinking it was she, Mrs 3.5 and lost. that his that ll il PITCHER Hale asked excitedly, Where are you? I don't know where I am, but come get.

The next morning, when it became known Barbara Pitcher was missing, he communicated with her family. The information was withheld by the police until yesterday.

The Pitcher telephone number Is Westmount 2181' and that of the Hale residence, Westmount 4128. Police believe the slight similarity in numbers might have resulted in a wrong connection. thought that the payroll money of the three firms Ideal Can Company, William Bevan Company and Paul C. Wolfer would be In the safes last night. Police say that the payroll money is not brought to Everett until Saturday morning.

Officials of the companies could not give a definite estimate of money missing but said that it was only a small sum, no large amounts being kept in the safes. Continued on the Fifth Pago UJU Her Case Said Dpper Jaw JOHN SMITH. tallies with the Smith girl. The height and hers are given as 5 feet 5 Inches. She weighed 130 pounds, and the estimates made by physicians viewing the body are 140 to 150 pounds.

This difference detective Manning considers unimportant under the circumstances, but points out that the Corbett girls weight was given as 112 pounds. The authorities have found nothing to indicate the cause of death, whether It was accidental drowning, suicide or foul play. There is no fracture ou the body. Clothing' Easily Comes Off Detective Manning finds little Importance in the fact that the body was without clothing, save for piece of red tape about the neck, to which adheres a piece of brownish-blue cloth. Clothing easily comes off bodies in the water, he says.

This matter had caused some excitement in Spring-field. Though the Smith girl was not known to be wearing clothing of the color of the cloth attached to the tape, this is not regarded as significant, as the body floated downstream past many dye establishments, and could easily have become discolored. The discovery was made yesterday at the Longmeadow shoreline of the river, just below Springfield, by two employes of the Merritt, Chapman Scott Corporation. George Johnson of New York and William McDonald of Boston, who were searching for the body of Arthur Baer of 64 Whiting st, who was drowned Wednesday while they were underrunning cable. They saw the body hung on the limb of a tree downstream.

Officers OConnell and Miller of the Springfield Police Department, who also were searching for the Baer body, rushed to the Longmeadow Police Headquarters and told Chief John S. Henderson. He in turn notified Ernest Byron, undertaker, and Medical Examiner Frederick D. Jones went to the scene. The body was on the ti pof the limb, partly under water.

It was removed to the Byron rooms. The Springfield police notified State Detective Manning, who immediately got in communication with State Police officials in Boston, to whom were turned over the records of the late Lieut Joseph V. Daley, who investigated the case. An official said he could: find no account of dental work in the records. Manning later viewed the body and stated that it corresponded very closely with that of the Smith girl.

Frances St John Smith was the daughter of Mr and Mrs St John Smith of New York city. Although a reward of $10,000 was offered by the family for finding her alive and $1000 for her body, and a seafeh was conducted for more than month, no clew to her fate was found at that time. Alice Corbett was the daughter of Mr and Mrs JaOmes M. Corbett Utica, Y. When she disappeared she left a note Indicating that she contemplated suicide.

Mrs Spears got out of the smoke-filled house by smashing a window leading to a fire escape and wa3 assisted to safety by a fireman.

Smoke Filled Adjoining House There was considerable excitement In the adjoining apartment house, the entrance to which is around the corner at 2 Ivy st. This house becarae-filled with smoke and several persons were forced out.

Seigt Harold J. Donahue, who said at the Job was apparently done by ofessionals, belitfved that the thieves FRANCES ST SPRINGFIELD, March 30 Whether the body found in the Connecticut River is that of Frances1 St John Smith, the Smith College student who disappeared Jan 13, 1923, will be definitely established this afternoon with the arrival of the girls dentist. Dr W.

J. Woods of Pelham, State Detective David J. Manning i almost convinced that the body is that of the Smith girl. Yesterday, he caused Dr Walter Pooler of 146 Chestnut st, a local dentist, to make a thorough technical examination of the jaw bone, and to telephone it to Dr Woods. A platinum or silver brace, used for the straightening of the teeth, led to the conclusion that it was the Smith girl.

Not Thought Corbett Girl Despite the fact that Alice Corbett of Utica, who disappeared from the college Nov 13, 1925, had also such a dental brace In her mouth, that of the Corbett girl was said to be on the upper jaw, according to word received from a Utica dentist, and not on the lower jaw, as in the case of the body recovered. This seemed to eliminate the possibility of the body being that of Miss Corbett. When Dr Woods makes his examination there will also be present a local dentist, representing Dr H. M. Clapp of Utica, dentist of the Corbett girl.

He will communicate to Dr Clapp a description of the jaw, and make a cast, which will be matched with one in the possession of the Utica dentist. The possibility that the body is that of the Corbett girl is weakened, in the eyes of State Detective Manning, by the fact that Dr Clapp asked the local dentist to check up on fillings. Frances Smiths teeth had little or no filling. Only one small filling has been found in the jaws of the body discovered in the Connecticut River. Detective Manning communicated with Miss Smiths father, but recommended that he refrain from coming to Springfield, because of the condition of the body.

He believes, however, that if the body were that of the Corbett girl it would be in a worse condition than discovered body is. When It was first found, it was said to be that of a man, but detective Manning says that under the circumstances the mistake was one easily made by inexperienced Investigators. In general description, the body Amerlcan-Austra-lian a and 15 In Baja California, Federal activity also was reported, a large force of loyal troops preparing to harass the rebels in Sonora.
