treSS, Mrs. Helen Kelso, 10, was
near death from hammer blows.
The first theory of police was
that the maid, 81, had beaten Mrs
Kelso with a hammer, and had
taken her own life. Mrs. Peterson
who had been a maid for Mrs. Kel-
so for q years, at one time was an
inmate Of the state hospital for the
insane.
Circumstances tending to contra
dict the theory were found by in
yestigators. Physicians expressed
doubt that the maid would have
had sufficient. strength to have
plunged the knife into her neck
with such force as to break off
part of the blade. They also ad-
duced from the blood that flowed
from both that Mrs. Kelso may
have been attacked after the maid
had been slain.
