VERY COMP LEX CRIME
Dayton, O., Girl Murdered and
Her Escort Nearly Killed.
BROTHERS AND SISTER HELD

Damaging Admissions and Are
Placed Under Arrest-Body Shows

Evidences of Brutal Mistreatment.
Dayton, o., Aug. 6.-Anna Mako
witz, twenty-four years of age, pretty
Jewish girl. lies dead at the county
morgue, her throat bearing the mute
evidences of the strangers death
clutch. Her body, bruised and cut,
bears evidence of brautal mistreat-
ment. At the hospital, with mortal
wound in his abdomen and his head
mass of bruises, lies Abraham Cor.
don, a young travelling man from In.
dianapolis. Held on suspicion by the
authorities at Dayton are James, ia
Job and Bertha Markowitz, brothers
and sister of the dead girl.
This is the situation in very COM
pick murder case and one In which
brutality and cruelty rival the fate of
pretty Dona Gilman, whose pitiful end
was reached but very short distance
from where this latest crime occurred.
Abraham Gordon, sometimes known
as Cohan, went out walking along a
lonely road near the National Sol
diers' home. He was accompanied by
Anna Markowitz and her younger sis
ter Bertha. They had walked to a
lonely spot when the crime was COM
mitted. Two stories, widely different
in their intimations, are told. What
took place has up to this time not
been clearly developed. Z
Story of Younger Sister. ~
The story of Bertha, when she
rushed GREATNESS and terror stricken
to the Soldiers home, was that while
her sister, young Gordon and herself
were strolling along secluded path a
highwayman slipped unheard behind
Gordon and struck him with black
jack. 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 dash for either herself or her
sister. She ran screaming from the
scene in terror, leaving her older sis
ter Anna to her fate. Bertha said she
did not stop until she got to the Sol
diers' home, where she gave the
alarm.
The sheriff was notified and posse
formed. When they reached the spot
of the crime they found Gordon al
most dead. A 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. There we're evil
dences of fearful struggle and an
assault. The girl was dead from
strangulation.
The Markowitz brothers and Bertha
-1-.@~r-ersal-d -at-r'oiioe-h oesiquarters to
see what had been learned about the
crime. Questioned, the brothers are
said to have admitted that their
mother objected to further attentions
being paid by Gordon to Anna. The
brothers would not deny that they had
followed their sisters, Anna and Ber-
tina, into the woods when they went
with Gordon. # --.~@ +.
