BRUTAL MURDER OF
IEN-YEAR- OLD
SCHOOL GIRL
Body of Little Marie Smith
Found in the Woods
MISSING SINCE WEDNESDAY
Negro Wood Chopper Arrested on
Charge Of Committing Double
Crime.

Asbury Park, N. j., Nov. 1.-THE
maltreated body of little Marie Smith
the school girl of ten who had been
missing since last Wednesday, was
found at dusk yesterday in clump
of woods not far from her home.
Some instinct seemed TO warn the
mother of how the search had ended,
for, although an effort was made to
shield her from the truth, she rushed
from the house and took In the full
horror of the fact before she could be
withheld. Hale sainting, half in con-
vulsions, she was carried into the
house, and there is grave fear that
she will die and with her the life she
was soon to have brought into the
world.
II did not need an autopsy to estab-
fish criminal assault. The child was
small for her years and not strong,
but she had fought to utter exhaust
ion The broken sticks and trampled
ground around her showed that, as
did her injuries. Her grey skating
cap and the blue ribbon she wore in
her hair had been tied tight about
her throat, but she had also been
beaten on the forehead with some
b'unt instrument, and the leaves I'M
der her face were frozen together
with her blood. In her struggle she
had been grasped by the hand with
such force that gold ring she wore
had been fattened into the flesh. Her
arms were badly scratched and there
was wound IN the cartilage of her
nose which must have been caused
by human teeth shut down on II to
cut of her breath.
Thomas Williams, known IN the
neighborhood as Black Diamond, a
negro wood chopper employed by the
| girls aunt and who had been missing
since the day Marie disappeared, was
arrested last night In the last place
where any one thought to find him
his room. The police went there TO
search for evidence and found their
man instead. Williams admitted that
he had not left the room since Thurs
day and the appearance OF the room
bore him out. His suspenders were
stained with what looked like blood
and towel was found on which
bloody hands seemed to have been
wiped. When placed under arrest
the negro was in pitiable terror and
would neither admit nor deny the
crime with which he is charged. He
was taken quietly to jail, though sen.
timent against him ran high.
Marie Smith was last seen at II
O'Clock Wednesday morning on her
way to school. two blocks from hel
l home. The spot where her body was
found is of her path. and either she
must have been enticed into the
woods or picked up and carried bod
lily. On the night of her disappear
ance the firemen were called out tC
fight blaze In the woods where she
lay. and there is possibility that
II may have been set to conceal the
crime.

ANOTHER DEMAND.
FROM DIAz FOR
REP ARAT|0N
Wants Punishment for Slayars
of Rodriguez
NOTE TO PRESIDENT TAFT
Ambassador Scouts Claim That Vic
tim of Texan Mob Was Not
Mexican Citizen

Washington, Nov. 14.-The Next
can Embassy here has received no
intimation that Antonio Rodriguez,
the Mexican murdered recently by a
Texas mob, was in fact a native and
citizen Of the United States, and yes
terday President Diaz repeated firmly
his demand on the United States for
reparation and the punishment of the
offenders. A paraphrase of the note
follows:
President Diaz expresses the sat
isfaction he feels upon konwing the
promise made by President Taft in
his telegram transmitted to him
through the Mexican Ambassador to
punish those guilty of the murder of
the Mexican, Antonio Rodriguez, for
that proves how sold in fact are the
relations between the two countries.
THE Mexican Government, on its
part, has instituted proceedings for
the punishment OF those responsible
fer misdemeanors dcne in Mexico,
and offers TO suppress with all the
vigor Of law any attempt whatever
against American citizens residing
there, which are not to be expected,
considering the culture of the peo-
pie"
The note was forwarded to Ambas-
sador de la Barra, and he delivered
1t at once to the State Department.
There, as it was directed to President
Taft, 1t will probably be held for for
nal action rn'il ~ T7ft's return
from Panama
Mr. de la Barra scouts the unofficial
report that Doderlguez was not Mex
lean citizen. President Diaz would
certainly have been informed in such
case, he said, yet nothing has come
TO him from his government limiting
at any doubt that Rodriguez was a
Mexican by birth and enfranchise-
ment. The telegram to the state de-
partment yesterday raising the ques-
tion is said TO have been unsigned
