LIKE DURRANT CASE.
. Young Girl MysteriousIy Murdered
In Frisco.

F.. ~.
San Francisco, Feb. ia myster-
Ious murder, resembling in some Of it's
features the Durrant case, Is now puz-
zling the police department of this city.
The body of Nora Fuller, a ~l6-year-old
girl. who disappeared from her home
January II, was found lying naked on
a bed in the upstairs back room of an
unfinished house at 2211 Sutton
street Saturday afternoon.
The girl has been dead some time,
as decomposition had begun. There was
nothing In the house to indicate the
means used to take her life, but the
posture Of the body and it's condition.
together with the disorder of the room,
indicated hat the girl was murdered.
An autopsy disclosed that death vas
not due to natural causes. The general
theory is that the girl was either
.strangled or poisoned.
Nora Fuller left home January II and
met a man known as John Bennett in
respons to an advertisement for a
girl to take care of a baby. Shet met the
man at a restaurant, and thereafter
all knowledge Of her was lost.
On January SFthe house in which the
body Of the girl was found was rented
by a man giving the name of C.. B..
Hawkins. The general description Of
Bennett and Hawkins tallies, and 1t is
thought that the two names were
aliases Of h same man. Both Bennett
and Hawkins are each said to have
been IS or 40 years old. Bennett wore
clerical clothes, and claimed to have
studied for the ministry.
A possible motive for the murder is
found in the suggestion that the
murderer either quarreled with the girl
or feared that his relations with her
were about to become public.

from their bedclothing got down safely.
Most of the guests have been
accounted for in the list of dead, injured
and escaped. Among those u~naccounted
for is A. Goldberg, an unknown stranger,
who came in late and went to bed without
registering; two students, whose names
are not known, and f. P. Contrand. 1t is
not believed there are any more bodies in
tie ruins, which have been carefully
searched. For that reason it is thought
those named will turn IN.
Nobody seems to know just how or
where the fire started. 1t is believed that
1t started on the first floor or in the cell
lar, where there is a steam heating plant.
X: A. Woolsey, a medical student, whose
home is in Galesburg, ILL.,. had a room
on the second floor. Finding the regular
exits cut off he slid to the ground safely
with the aid of two sheets tied together.
Harry Kline of Marion. Ind, who is a
student in the medical department Of
washington university, had n narrow es-
cape from death. He roomed on the sec
oud floor with Harry Thompson of Nash
Vllle, III, Il student at the same college.
Kline was aroused by cries of fire. He
awakened Thompson and together they
to escape through the hall.
Ihey found the stairway on fire and the
nail filled with smoke and flames, which
drove them to the window in their room.
thompson jumped first and hurt his an
kle, bu before Kline could get out the
names burned his terribly about the
hands, with which he shielded his face.
He is now at the hospital suffering from
burns and a badly sprained ankle. Both
lost everything.
Late last night, with the aid of papers
round near his body, the unknown MAJ
VINO died at the city hospital was par
tally identified as C. F. Cantrout, a union
