Head Crushed and Foot
Prints in Snow, Showing
Signs of a Struggle.

rUnited Press Leased Wire Seryice.1
AURORA, Ill., Feb. 17.-Unable to
determine whether robbery or jeal-
ousy was the motive, police todas
were making every effort to solve the
mystery surrounding the murder OF
Miss Tracy Hollander. 81, whose body
was found in st Nicholas cemetery
early today. The young woman's head
had been crushed with club. An
thony Pedros, rejected suitor, is un-
der arrest. He denies knowledge OF
the crime.
The police also are working on tho
theory that robbery may haNs been
the motive. Miss Hollander was finan-
cial secretary of the Aurora lodge,
knights and Ladies OF Honor. and
was on her way home from meeting
when attacked.
Miss Hollandsrs body was found
by her father, Louis Hollander. He
had missed her upon his arrival home
last night and followed foot prints to
the cemetery, when he found the body
laying face down on a grave. The
snow was trampled, showing that the
girl had met dsath after a desperate
struggle.
Miss Hollander was popular mem
ber of the younger social set In
Aurora and hsr father is one OF
Auroras prominent citizens.
Detectives working on the case
found blood-stained hickory bludgeon
about fifteen inches long lying near
the scene and they believe 1t was
with this that the murder was com
mitted. They think the murderer
forced Miss Hollander to her knees
and then swung his club, striking the
girls forehead between the eyes
crushing her skull and killing hel
instantly.
Pedroes was arrested, police say
