Body of girl found
ROCKY MOUNT, N.C. (UPI)
— Police said they will try
today to establish the identity
of a girl whose body was found
partly submerged in a swampy
area of Rocky Mount. The
victim’s hands were tied, and
indications were she was buried
alive.
Police Chief Clyde Hooker
said officers had an idea the
victim was a 16 or 17-year-old
black girl. A preliminary
autospy Wednesday indicated
the girl was buried alive and
had been dead several weeks.
The girl’s hands were bound
and a sock had been tied
around her neck.
Hooker said it was possible
that the girl had been choked
unconscious, then buried, but
the exact circumstances of
death were unclear. The cause
of death was either drowning or
strangulation, Hooker said.
There were no wounds on the
body.
Hooker said the autopsy also
showed the girl had been eight
months pregnant at the time of
death. But there was no fetus
with the body. He said a search
of the area was being made to
see if it could be found.

buckets from nearby houses,
filled the engine, and the train
went on its way.

SI-million
feeling
BOSTON (UPI) - Louis M.
Reny had a winning feeling
about the $1 million Massa
chusetts lottery.
The feeling got stronger as
the day of the drawing
approached, and Reny, 54,
became so confident that he
told his supervisor at the
Monsanto Co. of Springfield,
Mass., where he has worked for
15 years, he was quitting.
He showed up at the
Sheraton-Boston Hotel, where
the winning lottery tickets were
drawn Tuesday night, with a
horseshoe in one pocket and
two sets of Catholic Rosary
beads in the other, and left with
the $1 million grand prize.
