Saturday night he had received no in
formation from the coast relating to
Miss Rappe's death. except that she was
dead. On Saturday night. however, he
talked over the telephone with friend
I'm San Francisco, and he said informa-
ton given to him by this friend leaves
no doubt in his mind that the girl had
been murdered.
I'm an effort to save her honor" said
Mr. Lehrman, 'she fought like q de-
termined woman. know she fougnt
and fought desperately. but she lost
the battle and died. My prayer Is that
justice will be done."
Mr.. IIehrman was asked IL he would
go to the coast, and he said he would
not. He added that over the telephone
from San Francisco he had been told
many of the details of Miss Rappe's
death, but he refused to divulge exactly
what he had heard. He declared sew
eral times, however. that the informa-
ton left no doubt that she was mur-
dered.
