Officers said the body, which has been viewed by thousands of persons, was identified by Mrs. Grace Mull who operates a Pittsburgh boarding house where ithe girl resided recently.

"She was a good girl and never went out with men," Mrs. Mull told police. She was unable to give a possible motive for the slaying Mrs. Mull, who formerly lived near Haydenville and had been acquainted with the girl for said the last time she taw Miss Schweckrath was "at '2 last Sunday (Oct. 29) afternoon." Mrs.

Mull said she visited Haydenville w.th the girl and that the latter told her I think I'll go home." Mrs. Mull returned to Pittsburgh without her and said she became suspicious at the failure of the grl to arrive at the boarding house. Miss Schweckrath's parents are dead. She had been employed at a Pittsburgh packing house. The identity of the woman caused wide speculation during the week and various reports have a- risen concerning her name, but this identification was not proven satisfactorily at-the morgue.
