Police said she probably had been ’ there four hours. Six hours later J she died. Even before, police were looking for Mischa Ross, a percussionist and the manager and booking 1 agent of Miss Leelova. It was he ' i who had encouraged her profess- ' i ional career and it was he who had I rented the sound proof room for her practice. At 3:30 a. m. today, Ross came i roaring up on the porch of the j home of his father-in-law, Nathan Nesselovitz, at Monticello, 80 miles from New York. His estranged wife, with whom he hadn’t lived j for two years, was there. The , waiting police agid he was "roarj ing drunk.” A month ago Miss Leelova broke i off her engagement to her booking ' agent who had lured her from the

modest profits of classical music to the sentimental music of the j night clubs. Her father in Bridge- ■ port, Conn., had been told that; Ross was annoying her. He came ( 'to New York two weeks ago, be-, ’ lieved he had stopped the annoyances. Yesterday a little before 10 a. m., Miss Leelova went to the re hearsal studio in Times Square which Ross had engaged for her. Fifteen minutes before, the elevat- j J or operator, Paul Klein, had taken a powerfully built man to the same floor, watched him walk down the j corridor toward the studio. A halt hour after she went up, KTeln took the stranger back to the street. Miss Leelova was to have used the studio from 10 a. m. to noon. I At 2 p. m., Moya Engels, a dancer, j its next user, pushed open the door and entered. In the center of the room, on the floor, was a canvas violin case. Even as she listened to a labored breathing, intermingl- j led with groans. Miss Engels saw a trickle of blood near the windows, i She and her accompanist, pianist ] Stuart Simons, next saw a woman’s legs protruding from beneath the I heavy gray draps which hung down the walls. | Miss Leelova had been struck, on the temple by a claw hammer. I The bloody weapon was nearby. , From the position of the few chairs in the large bare room, and the position of the wound, police knew that she had entered and found her assailant waiting for her. That she knew and trusted him was ap- 1 parent from two chairs, one splattered with blood. She had sat there, facing her slayer, chatting with him. Suddenly, something happened to enrage him. He swung out with the hammer and the deed was done. Miss Engels said that had been a “terrible hole" in Miss Leelova's forehead and that her left hand had been smashed, as though she had lifted it to protect herself. Police said they found bloody finger prints "all over the room." The slayer apparently had attempted to drag the dying girl into a dressing room, but the door stuck, and he put her behind the drapes, l stretched on the walls to correct the room’s acoustical faults. Miss Leelova had not been criminally attacked. -o SIO,OOO SUIT (CTNTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) Hartford township, and Homer Habegger, Berne. Complaint Filed It is alleged in the complaint that McKinley accepted an offer to ride to Montpelier and back to Portland from Hutson. They ro-1 turned on state road 12. At al

point three miles east of Montpelier, it is alleged that McKinley was "driving at the highly dangeri ous and excessive rate of speed of ■ 60 miles per hour although the ] cement was very slippery because of showers and it was dangerous i to drive at a speed of more than 130 miles an hour.” It is alleged that the car skidded at a curve at this point, turned over several ' times and fell in the ditch. Injuries alleged sunstained by ' McKinley are: "severe contusion I to shoulders, concussion and se- : vere contusion to spinal column and central nervous system, spasmodic torticollis, thereby causing I injury to the spinal accessory I nerve and thus causing his head i to be drawn to the right side and j rotated so the chin points to the ' left side." It is alleged that because of I the injuries, McKinley suffered ; and will continue to suffer great I pain and is unable to work. As one of the grounds for deI sense, the defendant has filed an answer alleging that McKinley ! was a partner of Hutson and therefore not entitled to damages. o I FIVE DROWNED, | tgONTINUED FROM PAPE ONE) ■patently released her foot from the clutch before turning off the motor. The car rocketed through the guard rail and plunged into 25 feet of water. i Lucile Miller, 17, living near Batesville, died in St. Margaret Mary hospital from injuries suffered in a motorcycle-automobile accident at Osgood. Kenneth Bauclianan, 20, was injured in the crash. Floyd R. Rison, Fort Wayne, was killed and two other persons were seriously Injured when the car In which they were riding crashed Into a railroad signal at Decatur. I Joe Weaven, 42, Indianapolis, was in a esrious coudition at Bloomington hospital suffering from a skull fracture received when his automobile overturned near Hidustan, ten miles north of Bloomington on sate road 37. I o 4-H Club Enrollment Campaign Is Started The annual enrollment campaign for 4-H club work is now on under the direction of Mrs. Helen E. Mann, county club agent. Much interest is being shown in the organization of the girls’ 4-H club work. They are enrolling in clothing, canning, food preparation, baking and room improvement. Both boys and girls 16 years 'of age or older may enroll iin junior leadership. It is the I hope of the club leaders that the

canning club enrollment will be greatly increased this year, as this project is extremely practicable and worthwhile to the girls taking it. A number of valuable pfiles along this line are offered in local, state and national competition. The Ball Bros, and Kerr Mannfac- ] ; turing companies are offering a I ’ number of very valuable prizes to ] canning club girls. o Holstein Breeders Plan County Show The Holstein breeders of Adams ' county met in the county agent’s office Saturday evening to make; I plans for the 1937 Holstein county i show, to be held in connection with I I the Decatur Free Street Fair. i The following officers were elect- 1 ed: Rudolph Kolter, president; I Benjamin D.
