kELLNER GIRLS BODY
Is FOUND IN A CELLAR
Louisville Child, Missing Since De-
cember, Believed to Have Been
Murdered-Wrapped in Carpet.

Louisville, KY, May 31.-The body
of Alma Kellner, s years old, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Kellner,
who had been missing from her par
ents' home on East Broadway since
December s, was found in an unused
cellar Of the st. Johns parochial
school at Clay and Walnut streets.
All indications point to the child's
having been murdered and her body
dropped through a trap door into the
underground passage.
The body was found by Dick
Sweets, a plumber, who was engaged
In pumping water out of the cellar.
When he had got most of the water
out, he saw a child's shoe protruding
from some damp debris. Taking hold
of the foot, he found the body of a
child wrapped in a carpet. AS he
unrolled the carpet, the flesh fell
from the child's body. He telephoned
to his employers and to Police Chief
Lindsay, who hurried to the spot and
sent to the Kellner home for Mr..
Kellner.
Frank Fehr, who arrived with the
childs father a short time after the
body had been found, said he was
certain the body was that of Alma
Kellner.
He said: There is not the slight.
est doubt in my mind that Alma met
her death as the result of foul play.
This is all l can say at the present
time, but of this | am sure"
His theory is that the child was
killed before she was thrown into the
cell by the trap door. The cellar is
six by ten feet long and is reached
by two entrances, n a trap door in
side of the schoolhouse, which has
not been opened for many months.
and the other door near the side of
the entrance to the school between
the home of Father Schumann and
the schoolhouse.
A large reward was offered for the
return of the girl after she disap-
peared. Kidnapers were blamed.
