Woman Found On Beach Believed Murder Victim May Clark

An elderly well dressed woman, about sixty, found on the beach after a snow storm last Saturday night is identified as Mrs May Clark of Pittsburgh. Police believe she was murdered elsewhere and her body brought to the lonely Cape May beach. Mrs Clark was a guest at Haddon Hall in Allenne City from May 12 last year to January 16, then checked out saying she planned to go to the Mayflower hotel in Washington. Authorities say she registered at the Mayflower as from Pittsburgh and left the next day, with movements after January to New York unknown. Joseph F. Fish, Pittburgh doctor, suspects the woman led a transient life, with estates from her father and brother providing income. She spent time traveling along the coast to the Carolinas and was noted for studying bird life.
