stocking tied tightly about her neck.
Although a score of detectives are
working on the mystery. no definite
clue leading to the identity OF her
slayer has been found.
Despite the fact that there were
many evidences of a desperate struggle
in the girls room, other occupants OF
the apartment have declared that they
neither heard nor saw anything un-
usual on the night the tragedy is be-
lieved to have occurred.
According to Capt. Tate of the de-
tective bureau. the Roberts woman
who was about twenty-three years OLD.
was a widow. She Is said by relatives,
Tate declared. to have had several male
friends who called upon her at her
apartments A dozen or moro photo

but whether any of them have been
identified the police decline to say.
