Search Intensified for Lieut. T. A. Peacocke Tokyo, Apr. 9.
Search parties yesterday found the body of Mr. Masayoshi Asamura, a mountain guide, in the sparsely populated Azuma district, in Gumma Prefecture.
The grim discovery spurred the search for the body of Lieut. T. A. Peacocke, a British artillery officer from Singapore, with whom Asamura went into the mountains on a skiing trip on January 30.
Search parties began to scour ihe mountains on March 22, after a routine enquiry by the British Embassy here revealed the disappearance of the British officer.—Domei.
