LENA WISER'S MURDER
LOCAL AUTHORITIES TRYING TO
SOLVE MYSTERY.
Missing for Two Months, Woman Was
Found With Bullet Hole
in Her Head.

The local authorities are interested in
the outcome Of an investigation that is
going on near Markham, Fauquier county,
Va, concerning the brutal murder of Miss
Lena Wiser. That she was criminally as
saulted before she was beaten and shot
to death seems certain. From the condi-
ton of the body it is quite evident that she
was murdered more than two months ago.
Miss Wiser's home was at Salone, Fau-
quier county. She started from there dur
ing Christmas week to visit friends named
Jarman, who live near Markham. She
never reached the house Of her friends.
Nothing has been ascertained here to show
what, If any, search was made for the
young woman.
Several days ago Miss wiser's body was
found In secluded spot in the woods by q
gunner. Beneath the left ear there was q
bullet wound and her head showed evil
dences of having been pounded with a
blunt instrument. That the woman was
victim of foul play the coroner's jury
had no difficulty in determining. The ju-
rors united in their verdict that she was
murdered by some person or persons TN
known to them. 1t is reported that the
body was about to be buried without a
cohn when residents of the county came
forward and contributed money enough to
give 1t a decent burial.
Pursuing the Investigation.
It is believed that the crime was COM
mitted near the spot where the body was
found. although it may have been taken
there from some other place The body
was in the woods during all the severe
weather, but, although badly dlsf1gured.
John and James Jarman. at whose house
she was going to visit, were able to iden-
tify It,
States Attorney Jeffries went from War
renton to Markham yesterday and made
an investigation of the affair. 1t is his in
tention to have the county officers Pursue
the investigation and bring the guilty rar-
ties to justice. The crime is the most
atrocious affair Of it's kind that has been
committed in Fauquier county for num-
Der OF years and the county authorities are
anxious to solve the Mystery
