ARREST FOLLOWS
DEATH OF GIRL
Jerome, Friend of Carrie
Reinholtz, Taken Into Gus
tody This Morning
BELIEVE GIRL WAS MURDERED

Philadelphia, Nov. 25.-The authori-
ties of Delaware county this morning
arrested a young man named Jerome
the friend of Carrie Reinholtz, whose
body pierced by six bullets and hack
ed by a dull butcher knife was found
last evening in the home Of her en-
ployer, Robert S. Broadhead, at STRAIT
ford.
Jerome is now in custody in the
lock-up at Wayne. pending arraign-
ment before Squire Leighton.
Residen-s Of Stranord hold the
opinion that the girl whose dead body
was found in the kitchen Of the resi-
dence of Robert S. Broadhead at
o'clock last evening, was murdered.
None Of them will accept the theory
that the girl planned self destruction,
and not a single person believes that
the young woman could have shct her
self six times with a heavy revolver
while in her room and then gone to the
kitchen on the first floor and cut her
throat with a dull dinner knife.
Az StSrafford was excited last night
and today over the discovery OF the
dead woman's body, and the detectives
assigned to the Gaze have been dill
lgently at work look for some clue
which would lead to the suspecting OF
any person being involved in the
crime.
While Coroner Fry. Of Chester and sew
eral of his associates believe that the
young woman committed suicide, there
are many who doubt the suicide theory
believing that It would have been impos-
sible for her TO shoot herself six times
with a revolver, then go downstairs and
cut her throat with an ordinary table
knife. The detectives who are working
on the case have from the first concluded
that It was an extraordinary case Of mur.
der. and that the young woman had
shown unusual strength and stamina in
resisting her slayer.
Miss Reinhold had been left alone in tn,
Broadhead house during the absence OF
the family, all Of whom had been invited
out Of town to spend Thanksgiving Day
The only other employer about the place
was a small boy. who worked about tn,
stables doing odd jobs. 1t was this bo,
who at 6 o'clock last night made the aw
ful discovery. He was surprised when H.
found no lights about the house, and
pushing open the kitchen door, stumble
over the body. which lay on the floor no
far away from the door. He was badl
frightened, and after making a hasty In
vestigation. hurried out of the house an
called for help.
Several neighbors were soon at tn
house, and when the young woman
body was found word was sent to Ches
ter to Coroner Fry and also to Detect
i've Leary, Of Wayne. The latter lost n
time in reaching the Broadhead house
and then telephoned for others to assis
in making the investigation. This cal
brought Detective Berry. Of Media, an
! Policeman Mullen, Of Wayne.
The girl was fully dressed and blool
had drenched the carpet on the left sid
Of the body. Considerable strength hai
been exerted TO cut the throat, as tn
weapon was a common table knife non
too sharp. This knife was found no
far from the body and was staine
with blood. Blood clots led from tn
kitchen into the dining room, an
thence. up the stairs to the girls bed
room on the second floor. There on
bed lay revolver, its six chambers be
ing empty A number Of letters wer
on the bureau, and these were take
! up for perusal later.
