Pretty Jewish Girl strangled to
Death in Lonely Wood and
Companion Fatally Injured
RELATIVES UNDER ARREST
Two Brothers and Sister Of Girl Held
in Jail on Suspicion of Being Guilty
Stories Of Crime. Vary Greatly
Sister Says Hishwayman Did the
Killing.

DAYTON. o., Aug. 5.-Anna Marko-
witx aged "a. a pretty Jewish girl,
lies dead at the county morgue, her
throat bearing mute evidences OF the
strangers death clutch. Her body IS
bruised and cut, and bears evidences
of brutal treatment. At the hospital
with mortal wound in the abdomen,
and head and masses of bruises, lies
Abraham Gordon. young travelling
man from Indianapolis. Held on sus-
picion by the authorities are James,
Jacob and Bertha Markowitz, brothers
and sister of the dead girl.
This was the situation today In a
very complex murder case. Sunday
Gordon, sometimes known as Cohan,
went out walking along lonely road
near the national soldiers home. He
wasl accompanied by Anna Markowitz
and her younger sister, Bertha. They
had walked to a lonely spot when the
crime was committed.
Two stories, widely different In their
intinations, are told. What took place
has, up to this time, not been clearly
developed.
The story of Bertha was that while
Ler sister, Gordon and herself were
strolling along a secluded path a high
waylaan slipped unheard behind Cor
don and struck him with a blacksnake.
Gordon, she said, turned about, and as
he did so the highwayman shot him
In the stomach. AS Gordon fell, she
says, the man made uash for either
herself or sister. She ran screaming
from the scene in terror, leaving Anna
to her fate. Bertha said she did not
stop until she got to the soldiers home,
where she gave the alarm.
The sheriff was notified and posse
formed. When they reached the spot
of the crime they found Gordon all
most dead. The trail showed where
Anna had been dragged. They fol-
lowed the beaten down path and came
upon the body of the girl lying in the
weeds. The clothing had been nearly
torn from the body. The arms were
crowded down over the eyes az If to
shut out the horrible picture. There
stranger's death cluth. Her body is
were evidences of fearful struggle
and assault The girl was dead from,
strangulation.
The Markowitz brothers and Bertha
later called at police headquarters to
see what had been learned about
the crime. On being questioned, the
brothers are said to have admitted that
their mother objected to further at
tentiorls being paid by Gordon to Anna.
The brothers would not deny they had
followed their sisters Anna and Bertha
into the woods when they went in with
Gordon.

day in the Lee avenue court of Will
liamsburg, disclosed another attempt
made last night to assault a young

ly lyncfled by mob, which was finally
driven off by the police The young
woman was Miss Sadie Hazenflug, a

was walking with her fiance last night,
when two Italians attacked her, over
powering both Miss Hazenf1ug and her
fiance, but the girls screams brought
a crowd, which gave chase, and the
Italians were finally captured. The an
CRY crowd began to make threats, a
rope was brought and fifty men rushed
for the Italians who were being hur-
ried to the station house by the police.
The crowd scattered however, when
the police drew revolvers. Miss Haz-
enf1ug and her flance were uninjured.
