QUIZ TRAMP IN
GIRL MURDER
Police Seek Confession From
Frank Ruke in Death of
Child at Madison

MORRISTOWN, Oct. 13:-Efforts
to extract from Frank Ruke, ragged
wanderer, a confession that he MUIR
dered eleven-year-old Janet Law
renee. last Thursday, were continued
today by detectives who picked the
man up on suspicion that he knew
something of the crime.

him to Kluxen woods. where the
body was found. The detectives said
he refused to look at the spot and
cried. xiii me; l wish l was dead"
A feminine handkerchief which
the authorities are trying to identify
as that of the murdered girl was
found in his pockets. He denied all
knowledge of the crime but it was
said he had been unable to give a
satisfactory account of his actions on
the day of the murder.
Ruke's mental condition last
night was such that detectives were
unable to decide whether he had
guilty knowledge of the crime or was
mentally effected by the reports.
Newspaper reports of the murder
and search were found on his person.
Ruke said he was born at
the corner of Columbia and
Grand Streets, New York. Detectives
found he was wearing two coats and
two pair of trousers. They discov-
cred that the lower front of his shirt
had been torn off and they saw the
evidence of washing on the stained
sleeves of his undershirt.
He had both a pocket and potato
knife, one of which bore stains. Both
were turned over to DR.. Edel, State
Bacteriologist, at Newark. The man
had three handkerchiefs, one a
woman's, embroidered with the let
ter IL" in blue. 1t will be shown
to the Lawrence family today to see
if they can identify it as Janette's.
