FIVE murders reported in New
England last week, the last one
being a little girl found near the
railroad track with her skull crush
ed. A feud existed between two
families, one of whom the girl was
a member, and her injuries were
not such as a locomotive would in
f1ict, and other circumstances and
evidence go to show that the child
was killed by the other family, as
she was last seen alive near their
residence.
