OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 20.-Shotgun
squads patrolled the swampS of East
Omaha today searching for a young
mulatto who is suspected of killing
three persons and fourth probably
fatally injured.
That the alleged murderer" was
a Negro became known when Mrs.
G. Harold Stribling was found in O
hySterical condition on the Iowa side
of the Missouri river, not far from
her home.
She told a dramatic story of be-
ing awakened at 3 a. m. today and
seeing the Negro with upraiSed ak
over the bed in which she and her
husband were sleeping.
Escapes From Captor
There followed fight between
her husband and the maddened mu-
latto who finally struck Stribling, a
former football star, to the floor.
Selling Mrs. Stribling, the Negro
fled to the SwampS along the Mis-
souri,, still carrying his bloody ak.
She was dazed at first and walked
along a captive but finally managed
to escape and ran to a highway and
hailed motorist who took her to
police headquarters.
There she told her story and it
convinced officers that her aSSailant
was the same man who Sunday

Monday beat to death Mrs. Gertrude
Resso, 81, and her sister, Miss Greda

her husband, who has fractured
skull and lies near death, are the
only persons who have seen the
Negro.
Police were convinced the killer
