DEAD GIRL IN CAR

■JERSEY CITY", March o

“Meet my girl friend!” said William Frazer to his cousin, ira Jan/.e, -when he had called him over to his moloi car. Ira found, to his horror, that the “.priced” was the dead, naked and mutilated body of a handsome young woman. Frazer arrived home early next morning and told his wife calmly what, he had done. “Get out of the house with your nonsense, and go to work,” said Mrs Frazer. She had heard so many wild stories from her husband that she thought this one was like the others. Ira Janze, two days later, told the police wluit he had seen, adding that lie and Frazer had driven round the the best part of the night with the body, Frazer talking the while of committing suckle. The police paid as little attention to Ira’s story as Frazer’s wife had paid to his. The affair occurred a fortnight ago, and nothing more was heard o] the case until yesterday, when the body .of Phoebe Stader, aged 32, was found in a swamp near Baleigh (West Virginia). Frazer was arrested a»d admitted the murder. He could not explain his motive. Frazer was a; steady-living citizen and war veteran until two years ago, when ,Jkj inherited ,£SOOO. He milted work- and turned “playboy”, and bard drinker.
