BRUTAL MURDER COMMITTED
BY ELY BARTENDEn

features were almost unacceptable
and she was injured internally, Harry
Heir, a bartender who has been work
ing at different saloons in this district
and living with the woman, is now in

charge of murder as of minor import
anc and only laughs when it is men
toned to him. The woman s body is
at the undertaking parlors and will be
held there until an effort is made to
find her relatives. She was quite
pretty woman and was only 23 years
of age,
Witnesses at the inquest over the
woman have iestitiedd that they heard
her crying for help and rushed to her
room in the tenderloin district where
they found her lying on the floor.
When they arrived she was uncon-
scious and her face was a mass of cuts
and bruises. Her clothing had nearly
all been torn from her body which was
covered with bruises 1t is claimed
that Heir had knocked the woman
down and beaten her badly with his
fists and then had trampled on her
body and face with his feet. The
woman was removed to a hospital but
died in short time, Heir was then
arrested and charged with murder.
