Perth Amboy evening news., 1921-12-23

The body was identified this morn
ing by a relative and ii has been
determined by the authorities that
death came as the result of strangu-
lation. An examination of the body
showed that a cord had been placed
about the child's neck and drawn
tight. It is also claimed that the
murder followed an attack upon the
girl.
Detectives OF the prosecutors
office, the police force, and other
officials seem TO feel no hesitation in
saying that George Cares, a man
fifty-four years old, committed the
crime. He is declared to have been
in custody on several occasions
charged with attacks upon young
children. In one instance he was
on trial here for an assault upon a
boy, but was acquitted by the jury.
Notwithstanding the fact that he was
positively identified by playmates of
the child as the man who had lured
the boy away. A similar crime IN
Perth Amboy is also credited to
Cares.
The county authorities have OBJ
tanned a statement from Odabashian
which says that Cares came TO the
hotel and engaged Room 21 on the
third floor on October % of this
year. About 4:3O o'clock yesterday
Odabashian says he saw Cares come
into the hotel with a young girl,
whom he represented as his grand
daughter when questioned by the
proprietor.

c!ares he was upstairs in Cares
