LURES GIRL ART
STUDENT TO LOT
AND KILLS Her
Goes to Lonely Spot on Prairie
in Response to Telephone
Call For NurSe-Not Heard
From Again.

CHICAGO. oct. g. Miss Ida c..
Leegson, art student, whose nude
body was found or the prairie west OF
here Sunday. was lured to her death
by some man who telephOned TO her
in response to her advertisement for a
place as a nurse. This was the con-
clusion of the police Monday night
after more than "a hours search.
which resulted, the police admit, in
no trail which can direct them TO the
murderer
The thin silken fish line found near
the body and the bruised circle il had
left around Miss LeegsOn's neck,
showed them the manner of her death.
Her tattered clothes strewn for half
a mile along the road approaching the
prairie and the bruises on the body
indicated that death had come only
after she had made a hard struggle,
but there was nothing found TO show
by whom Miss Leegson had been in
duced to visit the lonely spot on the
western outskirts OF the city.
Gave Up Position.
After giving up her position as
school teacher in Mason City. Iowa.
Sept. %. Miss Leegson came TO Chi
cago and engaged a room with Mrs.
James 7. Burnette, saying she was go
ing TO try TO earn more money TO con-
tinue her art studies. Saturday she
inserted an advertisement in a paper
asking for a place as a trained nurse.
Saturday afternoon a telephone call
came from a Mr.. Wilson" who.
when told Miss LeegsOn was out, in
quired closely after her personal APP
l. Id
again and asked her to go to point on
the west side to care for his wife.
She left to answer the call and was
not heard from again by her friends.
The street address given by Mr..
Wilson" proved to be a vacant lot on
the prairie. A canvass Of the houses
in the vicinity OF the prairie showed
none named Wilson.
Spent Nights In Study.
The possibility that Miss Leegson
was lured to her death by an organ
lied band of white slavers" while
being investigated by the police, is not
believed by them to offer a solution Of
the mystery. An investigation among
