HUNT SLAYER
OF LITTLE GIRL
Think Left Handed Man Lur-
ed Her to Cellar.

New York, June S.-A squad of central
Office detectives joined the staff Of the
Bronx detective bureau in their hunt
for the slayer of ~siX-year-old Sigred
Ekstrom, the golden haired child who
was lured to the cellar of a hathouse
adjoining her home and Strangled to
death.
The police have no other clew to work
on than a vague description Of Il dark
man with a little black mustache that
was furnished by the eiSht-year-old
brother Of the murdered girl and the
statement of Coroner's Physician Ric.
gelman that the murderer was Il left
handed man.
The autopsy, which was performed
in the Ekstrom home, set aside the
first police theory that the child might
have died from a CONFUSION or a faIl
and established that she was lured
into the dark cellar and then strangled.
There could be no doubt, said Or.
Riegelman after the autopsy. but that
strangulation had caused death, and
the impress of finger and thumb marks
on the white flesh of the slim little
throat proved that Il left handed man
had committed the crime.

In the days when people and names
were fewer than now, families received
names that really meant something.
They were Bakers and Brewers and
Taylors and Chambers and Wheel
wrights and the like; or else their
names described their appearance. or
the places in which they lived, or the
hopes TO which they were bred. The
old and well-known firm OF /. Chtchem
and U. Cheatem might come under this
head. Nobody knows just when the

BABY HELD UP
COURT HEARING

When a bawling baby held up
proceedings in Recorder Kehoe's
court Thursday night another Incl
dent went down on the list of I'M
usual occurrences in life. 1t is not
often a baby is allowed to bawl as
long as it pleases and thereby halt
proceedings in court, but such was
the case during the trial Of a stab
bling ARRAY.
1t was at a most interesting stage
of the hearing when the chief wit
ness for the state was testifying as
to the fight when a few months old
infant in the arms Of its mother,
seated three rows from the front,
began to cry loudly. The court was
annoyed at being unable to hear the
interpreter for the witness and call
ed wait a minute, just wait a min
ute until this Kid quits" The order
was obeyed and there came silence
from all in the court room while the
lusty tones OF the baby's cries reign
ed supreme. The proceedings were
resumed after a few minutes delay.
