SACRAMENTO MURDER
RECALLS DURANT CASE

A Sacramento dispatch OF the 9th
says: The murdered body OF Marga

In The basement of a church today by
David AFountain. the janitor, who was
busting up for Sunday. The child
had been attacked and strangled to
death.
Fountain notified the Rev. Charles
r. Ochler. pastor Of the church, who
in turn notified the police. The jani
tor was taken into custody. He told a
straiGhtaway story which found cor.
roboration in some. particulars to.
night.
The Millings girl had been meeting
at the church Wa. smrue companions
twice a week to sew on Christmas
gifts. To-day a not a meeting day
and she is supposed to have gone to
the church by mistake.
How she got in and who the muir
derer WAS remained a mystery late to.
night. Fountain told the police he
locked the doors upon going to lunch.
and noticed upon returning that one
OF them was open. lie said this could
be coroborated by Benjamin Ochler,
n pastors soon, who was fixing an
automobile near the church and whose
attention. Fountain said, he directed
to the open door. Going TO the base.
ment after a duster. he found the
body huddled in a corner, strangled
with a cord and with the marks OF a
mans hand gouSed into the face.
Aspects of the murder thus far re.

Francisco in 1895. for which Theodore
Durant was hanged. The victims in
this case, however, we're adults.
Fountain, according TO Il statement
made by the police late tonight, had
made visits TO the Milling residence
on several occasions. DR.. Ochler, the
pastor. said that on several occasions
he had rcbuked Fountain for his de
meanor towards young girls OF the
church and hat he had instructed
him not to be familiar with them.

ATTACKS ARIZONA LAW

The Italian ambassador, Count III
CclIcrc, called at the state department
Saturday. to lodge a protest against
the Arizona law, which requires at
least 50 per Ger OF certain employees
in That state to b. American citizens.
Tn" British ambassador already has
protested for his government.
The reasons given for the protest
are that the law Is In direct violation
of the provisions in the treaty be,
tween the United States, Great Brit,
ain and !;0!%, guaranteeing their citi.
gems the samc rights as are enjoyed
By American citizens la the states in
the matter Of employment and travel
The Italian case Is said to be stronger
than IT," British. because the Italian
treaty provision Is more specific In lis
recognition of italian rights.
There is in some respects n rcscm,
balance between the Arizona law and
III" California nntialicn legislation,
which brought a protest from Japan
which remains unsettled.
