YOUNG'S VICTIM
WILMINGTON GIRL
Mrs. Pulitzer Was MadCaD
Annie Miller
ELOPED WITH CIRCUS NAN
Father Was a Tailor and Resided ON
Eighteenth Street Between Vest
and Washington
ELOPUD WITH CIRCUS NAN

IL seems as though Wilmington Ia
fated TO figure in all great crimes COM
mitted in the United States. IT, now has
been proved beyond question that Mrs.
Annie Pulitzer. who was 30 cruelty
murdered by j. Hooper Young, In New
York. was born in Wilmington, and re-
sided here until she was IA years old.
SHE lived with her parents on Eigh-
teenth street between West and Wash
ington streets. Her father was a tailor
and worked in several shops here. The
girls maiden name was Annie Miller,
and she was known as a madcap, and
at the age of 13 she created a scandalby
elOrIing with a circus man. Another
young girl went with her. Miss Miller
was caught by her relatives and
brought back to her home. but the
other girl married the circus man with
whom she elOped. Annie was a pretty
girl and left hoa'e about seven years
also with her parents. Her father own-
ed a house ON West Eighteenth street
which he presented to Sacred Heart
Church when he left Wilmington, but
through some misunderstanding the
record has been lost and Mr.. Miller is
still said Ia own the building.
Many rsople recall vivacious Annie
Miller and her wild pranks. she at
tended Sacred Heart school.
