her mouth, where her assailant had
stuffed it to prevent her cries for assist

torn and disarranged, and the place
where the body was found showed signs
of a desperate struggle. A medical eN-

of her assailant, and that the latter
after accomplishing his purpose, had
killed her to escape arrest. The police
