IDENTIFIED BY CHILD
Negro Suspected of Having Murdered
Providence Woman

Providence, Jan. 10.-After being
twice positively identified by Swear
old Annie Balkovitch as the man she
had seen in the store where Minka
Fine was murdered, Clifford Thomp-
son, %, a negro, was put through a
grilling examination that lasted until
midnight, in an effort by the police to
wiring a confession from him.
At times the negro wept. Again he
murmured his innocence. But he
told contradictory stories, and when
confronted with defects in his alibi
seemed on the verge of collapse.
The police are confident that he is
the man who killed the widow in her
Ambrose street store, with brutality
that is without parallel in the criminal
annals of the state.

floor, the disorder of the whole store
being silent witness to the struggle
that ended the mothers life.

to refuse his request. But at the
