OF the dsh he had for sale. He explained
that when the fish are iced their gills
bleach and give them the appearance of
being unit for food. and when so many
OF his customers objected to buying

brush; The solution gave the gil1s an
entirely different appearance, and he
was satisfied that his business would

PRETTY MISSION GIRL
Three Clues May Lead to Slayer of
Miss Winnie L. Brecker; Two
Arrests Made.

AKRON, Ohio. September 2s.-Three
clues were being followed today by the
police In an effort to run down the
slayer Of Miss Winnie L. Brecker, twen-
ty-two years old. a pretty Akron girl
yesterday afternoon, when
her head was literally hacked to pieces
by a hatchet in the hands of an un-
known assailant
A long wooden weapon in the shape
Of a tomahawk, which had been used
by the murderer before he attacked
Miss Brecker with a hatchet. a note,
unaddressed and unsigned, reading:
Didn't you recognise me last night %
and another bit of scribbling on a piece
of cardboard are the clues that may
lead to the Identification of the slayer.
There were fye deep gashes inflicted
in the murder1d girls head. One nm
ger had been severed from her hand
and her shoulders and back were a
mass Of cuts and bruises.
Two arrests have been made today
in connection with the case, but, ac-
cording to the police, 1t is not likely
that the evidence will warrant holding
either.

mission work in Akron and was widely
known and respected. Two women who
live on the second floor Of the build
ing in which the murder was COM
mitted, say neither Of them heard
