GIRL MURDER AROUSES COAST
Fate of Nora Fuller Recalls the Grimes
which Were Committed by The
odOrc Durrant.

San Francisco Feb. 1.-THE nude
body of the murdered girl found in
an empty house at 2211 Suter street
has been identified as that of 16-year-
old Nora Fuller. The crime has star
tied the city as no other has since the
finding of the victims of Theodore
Durrant. The girl, inexperienced and
eager to earn money To help support
her brothers and sisters. answered an
advertisement on Jan for girl to
attend baby" On that day she met
a man who gave the name of John
Bennett. and was not seen thereafter
until her decomposed body was found
Invested entirely of clothing, in Il rear
room of the Suter street house. One
G. Il. Hawkins. who had rented the
house for month, disappeared at the
same time The police believe that
Bennett and Hawkins are one and
the same. and their theory Is that he
enticed the girl into the house. kept
her prisoner there and murdered her
after he had grown tired of her.
The police have not been able to find
any trace of Hawkins except that
they have located the restaurant at
which he took his meals. NeighbOrs
today say they saw "A girl and man
enter the house Jan. s and that they
never saw either one afterward. They
reported the fact TO the agents, but
as the rent was paid no investigation
was made.
The autopsy developed that the
girls death was not due to natural
causes There are discolorations on
the sides of her neck, indicating that
she may have been strangled. The
city chemist is examining the stomach
for evidences Of poison. The only
furniture placed in the house was
secondhand mattress. pillows and Il
chair. ON the latter the girls cloth
ing, nicely folded, was. found The
