Broker Strangled and
Beat Over Head
BODY DROPPED
INTO BASEMENT
Head and Neck Lodged in Pool of Wa
ter, Leaving Evidence of Crime =
Husband, Who Left the House Six
Hours Before, Under Arrest.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, \. H., Sept. %
Mrs. Fred L. Small, wife of a Boston real
estate broker, who was burned in a fire
which destroyed the Small summer home
at Lake Osslpee last night, was first stran-
gled by rope tied about her neck and
beaIen over the head, it was discovered
when her body was taken from the ruins
today
1t IS believed by the police that the fire
was set to cover the crime. By mere
chance, however, this ruse failed The
body dropped with the burning floor into
the basement and the head and neck
! lodged IN a pool of water. The rope,
which had been drawn twice around the
neck and tied in a square knot at the
back, was preserved.
Mr. Small, who had left his cottage at
| 1 clock yesterday afternoon, six hours
before the fire was discovered, made a
hurried return by automobile early this
morning to assist the police in their in
vestigation. He stated that he had left
4 his summer home yesterday for a business
/ trip to Boston and that his wife was alone
when he started Later, on his own au-
thority High Sheriff Chandler of Carroll
county placed Small under arrest and held
him at local hotel under instructions
from the county solicitor.

ness about three years ago and bought
the cottage at Lake Ossipee, where he and
his wife had made their home during most
of the year The house stands on the
shore of the lake two miles from this, VIII
lage and was the only occupied place in
the vicinity. The fire had gained strong
headway before anyone was attracted to
it and villagers arriving from distance
Iwere unable to put it out.
The local agent of life insurance com
pany today made known that in january
last he had written joint policy on the
lives of Small and his wife for $4,000 He
solicited the business and both the hus-
band and wife participated in the negotia-
tions which led to the issuance of the pol
icy Mrs. Smalls first name was Arlane
Before his arrest Small had announced
, that he would give 81, 1000 to anyone who
could discover who killed his wife. He
said he knew of no one who might have
any reason for wishing i'll to himself ol
. This wife.
! Some time prior to the discovery of the
. moose about Mrs Small's neck her hus
band suggested that her clothing nigh
have caught fire while she was sitting be
fore fireplace, as was her custom. Afte

ment whatever The Smalls came to tn
