FATAL VISIT

Louis Boersig, 44,year.old father

but denied that he remembers killing
6-year.old Loretta Ridgeway, and
wounding her little sister, Cath.
crime. and Mrs. Minnie Ridgeway,
the mother.
The man who is charged with
the murder and the two attacks,
was interviewed last night by Farr,
In the Jail at Winchester, Va. He
is there to escape possible mob
violence.
MY Interview with Boersig was
very satisfactory, the Common
wealth Attorney said today.
''Boersig is a stolid man. He did
not admit the crime, but he made
other admissions which make 1t
conclusive that he is the man.
."Boersig lawyers has maintained, y
said Farr ''f1e was drinking. Last
night he told me he was at the
Ridgeway home on the afternoon of
the attack"
Asked II Boersig remembered the
details of the attack, Mr.. Farr said:
II am convinced that he does.
although he said he did not. He
pretends to know nothing of the
attack"
It was pointed out that Boersig
first denied being at the Ridge
way home. which is on the Fair.
fax turnpike just out of Alexan-
dria. Asked whether Boersig was
sane, Mr.. Farr said:
II suppose you could get some
alieniSt to testify that he is a
raving maniac. But he is as sane
as any man is who commits q
crime
Farr has completed the evidence
against Boersig, he said, and is only
waiting for the grand jury to con.
vene. on March 81. He expects an
immediate indictment for first de.
gree murder.
Mrs. Ridgeway and her small
daughter. it was stated at the Alex
andria Hospital today, are about the
same as yesterday.
1t is believed both will recover.
although the little girl. with a
complete fracture Of the skull. is
still in danger.
