killed in less than an hour after she ate
her luncheon on the day before her body
was discovered in the basement OF the
pencil factory. He said that his exami-
nation of the contents of the girls stom-
ach showed that the food she had eaten
had not been more than partially digest
ed.
This, the state commended, proved that
the girl never left the factory after call
ing for her pay, on the afternoon or
