WOMAN’S BODY EXAMINATION BY DOCTOR (Per press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, this day. The partly decomposed body of a woman which was found on Taratuhi Beach two miles north of the Public Works Department’s camp at Claverly on Thursday, has been brought to Christchurch and is now in the morgue at the Public Hospital. Dr. Pearson, pathologist at the hospital, is making an examination of the body in view of the suggestion that it might be that of Mrs. Harriet Jane Patience, who disappeared on October 4, from the public works camp at Claverly. The police .asked Mr. Arthur John Patience, husband of the missing woman, to view the body, but owing to the decomposition of the features he was unable to identify the body definitely as that of his wife.
