pistol was found near the extended
right hand Of the girl. The doors of
the office were locked and neighboring
tenants Of the building, who heard
the sound of shots in .Merwin's Office
were obliged to force entrance to his
apartments.
1t is stated that DIR. Merwin had

his friends because Miss Slater fre.
quently wrote him letters, telephoned
to him, and in other ways thrust her
attentions upon him.

Kansas City. Mo-, Feb. 11.-Flora
May Clark, aged Is year, cash girl
in a dry goods store, was seized by
negro at Twenty-fourth street and
Grand avenue, while walking home
from work Saturday and repeatedly
outraged. With electric cars passing
every few minutes less than fifty yards
away the negro kept the girl in SUBJ
lection for more than an hour and
half. He threatened to kill her If she
screamed, and realizing that probably
no one would hear her she remained
quiet. She finally escaped when the
negro was frightened by the sound of
voices. She is in a serious condition.
The negro, who was about 18 years Of
age, has not been arrested.
The girl worked for $3.50 per week
and helped support family of eight
persons. She walked more than mile
to her home to be economical.
