WOMAN STRANGLED
AND BEATEN TO DEATH
WayIaid on Street and Bru.
tally Attacked.

Perth Amboy, n. J., March 14-At-
tackled by an unknown man Saturday
night during heavy fog, Mrs. Edith
Wilson, 26 years old, was Strangled
and beaten to death with blackjack
in an open lot within short distance
of her home here
The young woman. who was Il church
organi$t, left Il girl friend after at
tending theatre, saying she was GO
ing to her home, IL short distance away.
About ten o'clock her mother became
alarmed when she did not return and
asked neighbOrS to organize Il search
ing party.
The body was found by the >earcherS
about midnight. Mrs. Wilson's skull
was fractured and her skin lacerated
in several places. The body was still
warm when the searcherS stumbled
over it in the soft mud, which bore
evidence of a terrific struggle.
The police stated that the asSailant
probably secreted himself behind Il
hedge on the lot and graSped Mrs
Wilson by the throat as she passed
along the street. Although several
persons were in nearby homes, no out
cries from the woman were heard.
Fingerprint experts from New York
have been summoned to examine and
photograph the impressions found on
the woman's throat. A wisp of blond
hair found clenched in her hand was
regarded as Il valuable clew by the
police
