Woman in Boston Plane Mystery Death Links to Purchases
A woman using the name Mrs. Grace Hurley bought a revolver from a hardware store and an empty can from a grocery store clerk who noted she had about 500 dollars. An elderly man was sought for questioning after last seen boarding a train with her at White River Junction. The slain woman checked into hotels in White River Junction and Brattleboro as Mrs. Hurley of Boston and was not seen alive after Brattleboro. Medical referee Dr. Arthur F Weston said death could not be self inflicted, but Olson suggested a possible double fatal act with a companion failing to complete his role. Two holes at the base of the brain and a shovel-inflicted head injury were noted, and the body was found atop a snake-infested mountain after a forest fire near Keene.
