two rifle bullets through that

ANGRY POSSE
=. HUNTS GIRLS
SLAYER

FRESNO, Cal, Nov. 26-dN.SO
Lynching threats rumbled through
the San JOAQUIN Valley Of Central
California today as hundreds OF
farmers Joined the manhunt for
the slayer of Mary Stammer, IA
year-old daughter of Walter Stam'
mer, one of Fresno's leading at
torneys.
The threats were so widespread
that Sheriff George Overholt in
structed his deputies not to bring
their prisoner to Fresno If they
were convinced they had the right
man.
While the most determined
manhunt in the history Of Fresno
was underway, private funeral
services for the girl were to be
held later in the day.
100 Questioned
Nearly 100 itinerants from the
''hobo jungles" on the outskirts OF
the city were rounded up for
questioning.
Authorities, however, were in
clined to believe the girl was slain
by a youth who had made him
self acquainted with the interior
Of the Stammer home.
It was in this home the girl
was slain. Her slayer fired 20
calibre pistol or rifle bullet from
outside at his victim who sat in
her fathers library Sunday night
reading law book.
A PrecOcious Pupil
She was a precocious high
school student and sat up to read
while her mother drove her father
to the railroad station shortly be-
fore 10 o'clock Sunday night.
When Mrs. Stammer returned
she found the nude body of her
daughter in a bedroom.
The slayer had crashed his fist
through a window and unlocked
it. He mercilessly beat the un
concious girl and then dragged hel
to the bedroom. The child's
clothes were scattered about the
library.
