Virginia Undertaken
Held to Face Charge
of Murder

On a slab in the District
Morgue lies the body of a
bride Of three weeks-slain
early today in a ninth-floor
room of the Houston Hotel at
910 E st. N. w.
Young-she was only 21-
blonde and slender, she had
been married in Rockville on
September 26, and left her
parents home in Culpeper,
Va, to live with her youthful
husband, Herbert Randolph
Wood, in Stoneleigh, Fairfax
county.
Before her marriage she
was Willie Mae Fletcher.
Last night-the hour has not
been fixed by police-she
came to Washington.
With her came w. H. Reaguer,
prosperous Culpeper undertaken,
46 years old. With him and her
cousin she registered at the hotel.
About 4:30 this morning there
were screams on the ninth floor.
Head Nearly Severed
When hotel employees and po-
lice arrived they found the body
Of Mrs. Wood lying on the floor.
clad in a night-dreSs. Her head
had been almost severed with a
penknife.
Reaguer was lying beside her,
his head pillowed on her breast.
There were deep gashes in his
right wrist and under the left
arm.
A brief delay and he would
have bled to death. AS events
turned out, police and Coroner
A. Magruder Macdonald say he
will face a charge of murder.
Pending completion of the po-
lice inquiry, no charge had been
placed against him. But the
coroner, called to the scene,
branded the case murder"
Treated at Hospital
Rushed to Emergency Hospital,
Reaguer was treated for his in
juries and then taken to Gal
linger Hospital for mental obser-
vation. At the hospital he re-
peated over and over:

ALEXANDRIA, Va, Oct. IL.
Fire early today destroyed five
barracks, the mess hall and part
of the Administration building of
CCC Camp No. 1871 and State
Park Camp No. 81 on the old
Battery Cove Reservation just
south of here on the Potomac
waterfront. No one was injured.
According to Capt. Francis l..
McSarren. commanding officer,
the fire broke out shortly after
5 a. m. in the mess hall. The
1877 CCC men, all colored, and
their three white officers, were
Immediately awakened and the
Alexandria fire department sum-
moned.
Men Fight Fire
Bucket brigades, formed by the
men, fought to confine the flames
to the barracks. With the local
firemen, they succeeded in saving
the recreation hall, hospital, bath
house, officers quarters and part
Of the administration building.
Captain McSarren said:
"The discipline of the men
were splendid-they did a great
job"
The damage, estimated at
$4,000, was confined to the
burned buildings. Practically all
the personal effects of the men,
and most of the mattresses and
bedclothing, were saved.
Tents to Be Used
Tents from Washington are ex-
pected to replace the barracks
temporarily.
The camp is isolated and there
was little danger of the fire
spreading to other property.
The nearest structure is the old
Munitions Administration Build
ing, erected in war time, and
