wanted 20 follow her daughter. II was
he third time which friends ave been
compelled TO NO to the cemetery and
force the mother away from the grave
Of her youngest child.
The fact that foul play II suspected
has added TO the mothers grief. Tor
only n few years ago another daugh-
Ter, as womanly and an good. she says,
az any girl who ever lived. was muir
dercd I'm far OF Vienna before the fam
lly left their Austrian home to seek n
new one In America. The girl was
shot. Il has been learned here. by a
lover. who committed suicide after tho
crime.
II was disclosed today that the ply
siclans had taken the body or Miss
Poireis from the grave three times.
and had carefully listed. using ana
tomicai terms, every wound. cut. bruise
and abrasion found on the girls body
and head. There were fifteen wounds.

one-half inches long from the point

protruding: skin slipping OF left foot
MS though scnlded. large abrasion at

Though this report OF the girls
wounds has seemed too awful TO be-
lieve. Il In understood that IL viii be
signed by two physicians OF Sioux
Falls. including DIR. Olney. chairman
OF the state board OF health. and by
two Parkston physicians.
Such Torture incredible.
Many people refuse To believe that
any human being could be brutal
enough 20 infiict such wounds on n
helpless girl. and one known TO be In
offensive. industrious and faithful TO
everyone for whom she has worked.
Some OF the wounds are described as
chastity, and that forty-nine OF them
should be found on the head and body
OF the child seems almost beyond be-
lief.
The theory that the girl was insane
and that the wounds were self-infiicted,
IL scoffed ut. Physicians claim her
brain. save for the clot. was healthy.
and they remarked about Il being 80
well developed.
That she should have silently suf-
fered such abuse from anyone seems
as hard for some To accept. but u has
developed here. according TO the girls
father. that she wrote home Tor the
first three weeks she was working In
Sioux Falls. then her letters stopped
coming all nj once. and for nine weeks
while she was living at the home OF
the Sioux Falls millionaire no word
wac received from her. and ut the end
OF that time Mr.. Kaufman telephoned.
