POLICE FIND
NEW VICTIM IN
AN APARTMENT
Woman Bound and Gagged III
Similar Manner to Muir.
dered Lawson Girl

New York, Feb. 18.-Olga Morton
youthful estranged wife of Fredericl
Camp, bank employe, was found un.
conscious in her West Forty-sixtf
street apartment, gagged and bound
in manner exactly like that used
by the bbermurderers of Louise
Lawson, actress, who was found
strangled to death in her studio Feb
ruary 8.
Miss Morton was revived and is not
In serious condition.
Miss Morton, like Miss Lawson,
was found by her Negro maid, her
hands tied with silk stockings, face
towel used as gag and bath towel
thrown over her head. She was lying
face downward in the doorway lead
ing from the parlor to the bedroom.
The maid had stayed in the apart
ment until o'clock this morning
when 10 or IL of Miss Morton's men
and women friends who had made
up party in the apartment below
departed for their homes. Miss Nor
ton was quite fatigued, the maid said,
and she prepared her for bed before
leaving and locking the entrance
door. At about 10 o'clock this morn
ing when the maid returned, she
found the entrance door unlocked.
She saw the trussed-up body of her
mistress as she opened the door.
Screaming, she ran to the street
shouting for police.
A physician called by the police,
revived the young woman, who told
them that she was awakened some
time during the night to see man
standing over her, a horrible grin
on his face. Before she could cry out
the man placed a hand over her
mouth and then she felt towel
about her throat and consciousness
ebbing away.
There was no disorder in the tim
little apartment and Miss Morton
was too hysterical to tell the police
any more.
The attack, almost in every detail,
was SO like that which resulted in
the death of Louise Lawson that the
police intimated they were certain
both young women were the victims
of the same men, who have become
