death, five years ago, Mrs. Minnie
Fine, aged 48, was dubbed and
stabbed to death by a robber, for
whom the police Of Providence and
other cities are searching.
Her body was found by her sister,
Mrs. Esther Blestein, in the little
little grocery store at Ambrose
street, which Mrs Fine had conduct
ed for the support Of herself and her
boys, Saturday night, scarcely two
hours after Mrs. Blestein had seen
her there alive and we'll.
Boxes and bins had been overturned
and their contents StreWn over the
floor, the disorder Of the whole store
being a silent witness to the struggle
that ended the mothers life.
Mrs. Fines jaw was broken and the
back Of her skull crushed in. One of
two stabs in her left breast is thought
to have reached her heart.
No hint of the crime had gone be-
yOnd the walls of the little store be-
fore its discovery. The police, 100
yards away in the police station of the
second precinct, were told Of the muir

to keep her money in, The strings
which fastened it to her waistband had
been cut and the money, probably
about $40, taken.

in rooms in the same building with the
store.

| Fines store to make a small purchase
| She found strange man in the store
who gruffly ordered her away. She
ran home and told her mother, who
only laughed at her story and sent hel
back. Again the child walked into
the store, to find the stranger still
there, and with black look and sharI
words he once more drove her out.
