The Syracuse Tragedy.
Brutal MURDER OF A GIRL AND REMARK


DEATH or THE ASSASSIN.
1t was briefly mentioned in yesterdays STAR
that at Syracuse, y. Y. on Monday afternoon a
man by the name of Albert keeler, aged twenty
one years, killed a girl named Ida Spencer
aged fourteen years that keeler was a nephew
of Miss Spencer's father, is CANADIAN and had
been visiting with Mr.. Spencer about three
weeks. Later dispatches state that Mrs. Spen-
Ger went TO OswegO Monday and left her daugh-
ter alone in the house with two old ladies' one
of whom was sick and the other deaf Keeler
went into the kitchen, where Ida was at work
and taking short iron bar used for breaking
open boxes he struck her on the head. She fell
to the hoor, when he repeatedly struck her on
the head, beating her brains ont. She lived
about twenty minutes. Keller then left the
house by the back door. and ran down towards
the Central Railroad depot. A freight train had
just started for the east. Keller ATTEMPTED 10
jump on the hind end OF the caboose for the
purpose of escaping out of the town. when miss
ing his hold he fell back upon the track. Hls
head struck the rail; his neck was broken, and
he kwas killed instantly. The motive which
prompted Keller 70 kill Miss Spencer il NOT
known. 1T Is said that he might have m ade i'm
proper advances TO her which she repealed and
that he killed her, fearing she would divulge
his attempt. 1t Is also said that Keeler was
heir to some property which, with Miss Spencer
out Of the way, he might have secured. The
murder creates intense excitement and so does
the sudden retributive justice which overlook
the murderer. They were expecting to 60 T.
