Sir: At 11:30 of Dec. 12 -- or tonight -- I was told by Paul J. Braud, a reporter for the Los Angeles Examiner, that if I went to the Examiner office I would be given some valuable information concerning the murder of an unidentified woman found in the eucalyptus grove at Edendale earlier in the day. ... I saw on a table a large amount of jewelry, a large leather folder, a suitcase (leather), a pile of women's clothing, two magazines and some papers, a thermometer and some collar buttons, etc. ... I asked [the reporters] to take me out to the place where they had found these things ... All of this stuff I have filed with the property clerk under my name so that it will be at hand for the officers investigating the case this morning. ... Respectfully, J F Bean.
