INJURIES ARE FATAL
TO ASSAULT VICTIM
Trenton Young Woman Lived
One Week After Attack
BY Man.

TRENTON. n. J., Dec. 1l.-Just one
week after she was attacked by an un-
known man In a lonely spot near her
home on Pennington avenue. MISS
Lueila Marshall Is dead today In Mercer
Hospital. County Detective Kirkman at
once made formal charge Of murder
against her alleged assailant. and a
John Doe warrant was issued for the
mans arrest.
All along the authorities hal hoped
that the young woman wom'i reSa n
consciousness. at least long enough to
make some kind Of n statement that
would give clue to the fend who way
laid her. But she passed awaV with
out speaking. and the police have little
or nothing on which to work. Unless
her assailant cpnfesses. he will prob
ably never be caught. but the officials
have redoubled their efforts and are
putting all suspects. white and black
alike. under grilling examination.
As It has been established that the
victim was not mist reated and not rob-
bed. the authorities incline to the theory
that the crime was committed by an
insane man.
