A Girl Killed by a Would.Be Rapist
In WashingtOn.
Washington, May 6-Elsie Kreglo,
n white girl sixteen years old, was
murdered to-day in a ravine near the
national geological park. The body
was found in small creek about 100
yards from the girls home. Cries for
help were heard by the Kreglo family.
and sister and a colored boy rushed
to the scene whence the cries proceed
. ed. They found Elsie standing in n
creek Of shallow water between two
hills. The latter, however, overcome
by loss of blood and exhaustion. fell
back dead into the water before help
arrived. The girls throat had been
gaslled six times with knife. No
arrests have been made. The circun-
stances of the murder are such as to
make it one of peculiar atrocity. The
young victims clothes were torn from
hcr and streWn about for quite q dis
tance. showing that she had made a
desperate resistance against the at
telnpts Of the assailants, who. the Of
ficerS believe, sought to criminally as
sault her. The path leading to the
bottom of the ravine was bespattered
with blood and the water in which she
was standing was red with it when she
was found. The affair has caused
much excitement. A lady riding in the
vicinity about the time of the murder
saw a negro running across the road
just at that time. and this. besides the
finding of a pistol near by, is the only
clew. The Kreslo family are industri-
GUS working people, and the victim was
one of five sisters.
