TRAMP CHOKES TWO GIRLS
One Dead and Other Recovering, While
Assaiant Is at Large.


Not in recent years has western
Pennsylvania been so stirred as over
two crimes during the past week, in
which two young girls were the VIC
tins.
In the case of Grace Johnson, four
teen years old, of Blackburn, near
Greensburg, the victim was attacked
in a roadway and choked to death.
A similar attack, it has just been
learned, was made on Miss Mary New
man, eighteen years old, at her home
in Shaner, eight miles from Black
burn. Miss Newman was choked into
insensibility, but will recover.
AS result of the two crimes mem.
bers Of the state police, the county ,au-
thorities and many private detectives
have given up all other work and are
devotoing their energies in running
down clues that might lead to the as
sailant, who is believed TO have at
tackled both girls.
= Should the man be captured precau-
tions will be taken for his safety, as
the people are in an ugly mood, and
it is feared an attempt at lynching will
be made. When last seen the suspect
had begged a shirt from Mrs. Amend
and was headed toward Pittsburgh.
