HER KER0SENED HAIR
MAKES DEATH PUZZLE
Seeming Suicide Of Girl Takes An
other Aspect, and Coroner and Po-
lice Don't Agree.

NEW YORK May AUST how
Mary Csapko died In No. 419 East One
Hundred and Sixteenth-st. is point
on which Coroner Hamburger and the
police are not wholly in accord. The
girl was 10 years old and was a maid
| for Mrs Frank Garofalo, wife of
well-to-do real estate dealer. Mary
was left in charge of the Garafalo
house in the absence of the family.
ON the return OF her employer the
girl was found lying on the kitchen
! floor. with her head close TO the gas
range. every burner of which was
turned on.
She was still alive when discovered,
but died soon Although il was rea-
sonably clear she had been asphyxiat-
ed by the gas from the range, Coroner
| Hamburger was puzzled by other cir
cumstances. There were long
scratches on the dead girls face and
t her clothing was disarranged. Anoth-
or circumstance. deemed suspicious by
the coroner, was that the back door
of the kitchen. Invariably locked"
the family said was found unfastened.
Still further mystery was injected into
the case by the result of the autopsy
performed by Coroner's Physician Le-
hane. He found that although asphyx-
iation had been the cause OF death,
the girls hair had been saturated with
kerosene oil, and there was kerosene
also In her stomach. Huge blisters
were found upon and under her shout
ders.
The case is most puZzling, said
Coroner Hamburger. and | shall ash
the police TO make a searching investi-
CATION. The presence of that kerosene
in the dead girls hair and in her
stomach must be explained. | have
searched in vain for kerosene In Mr..
Garafalos home and | am informed
that none was kept there.

scratches and burns on the body"

Difference Between Upper and
Lower Sections of the Count,
The Proposed New Railroad
as Factor in Getting Toge.h-
ar

er.
To the Editor of The Robesonian:
The Scotch up in this end &C
the State of Robson are lust rn-
covering from visit of the Nortb
Carolina Synod. If you could i'm
aglne what Scotch Presbyterian
thinks and feels on the approach
of this venerable and Influential
body of Caivinistic theologianS
you could have some idea of orr
mental condition for the last ten
days. Up to the close of the war
there were very few other than
Presbyterians in the upper Dor
ton of the county, and | dom
suppose there was a corporaPs
guard in the lower end. A line
drawn east and west through
Lumberton divides the hop-eared
Scotch from the Buckskins. One
was solidly Presbyterian. the
other Baptist and Methodist, but
mostly Baptist. Before the war
there was hardly a boy in college
below Lumberton, but now Wake
Forest is full of these boys.
| have often wondered why
there was such a difference be-
tween the sections. 1t is high
time for us to get together, or to
| get further apart. If we could
get the railroad that's to be voted
on on the 26th of this month. it
would go a great way towards
solving the problem. | have no
more idea of the topography and
the lay of the land, or of the
names and manners of the lower
end of the county, than | have
of the conditions of Columbus
county. This ought not to be so.
People of a county should be
more of a unit in their manners
habits and customs than we are
of Robson. Such a road would
be of untold value to Robson. 1t
would bring the court house near
er to the upper end. and it would
cause the people to be more unit
ed. If we don't get this rail-
road then we up here must try
and get new county. The pres
ent status of the people of Blue
Springs in regard to court attend
ance is simply deplorable.
| started out to tell you some
thing about Synod, but as that is
past, we will let it go, and hope
that when we get the General
Assembly to meet here that at
least we will have a lay delegate
from your city.
