The romance. Of an elopement was
wiped out by the gruesomeness Of a
brutal murder in Chicago, when Miss
Sophia G. Singer, an attractive Balti-

and jewelry, brought from her Mary

William R. Worthen, a street car con-
ductor. was missing. and robbery has
been accepted as the motive for the
crime.
Worthen discovered the girls body
when he returned home after midnight
to the suite occupied by them and two
vaudeville performers in a rooming
house at 1929 Indiana avenue. Miss
Singer had been bound and gagged
and struck with terrific force with
"billy" made from an iron door knob
wrapped in a handkerchief. Her body
was enfolded in a blanket.
Charles d. Conway, high diver,
whose right leg has been amputated
at the knee, and his wife, who also is
known as Beatrice Rial and May
Monte, a variety actress, who roomed
in the same apartments and who had
been befriended by Worthen, are being
sought by the police.
The body of Miss Singer was found
on the bed in the room occupied by
them. The couple had been in the |
house during the evening. but no trace
Of them has been found since the dis !
covery of the body.
According to Worthen, Miss Singer
was an acquaintance of Mrs. Conway, /
who was known to her as Miss RIAL,
and it was through the latter's invita-
ton that he and his sweetheart went
to room at the same hon e The four
moved into the rooms where the muir
der was committed only the day be-
fore. Worthen told the police he had
paid the expenses OF the Conways as
well as those Of himself and Miss
Singer at the roOming house since
Joining them.
Worthen, who was held by the po-
ice. declared thar before leaving the
house he handed his fancee s4S in the
presence of the COnways and then
