~ Nurse Death Baffles —— Two New Suspects Quizzed
Police continued their hunt for
new suspects today in the bafing investigation of the :elubbing murder last Wednesday of Miss Alberta Green, 22-year-old student nurse
_ at Riley hospital.
Detectives have been unable to link with the murder any one of more than a dozen suspects ar‘rested for questioning in the crime. Miss Betty Overdeer, the second nurse bludgeoned by the murderer, continued to “improve today in the Rotary convalescent home at the hospital. The latest suspect was arrested last night on charges of intoxica-
tion and disorderly conduct after!
he had a fight with some soldiers ‘at Ohio and Illinois sts, .
He‘ was questioned in the hospital killing after he told police] that he saw the murder committed. Under questioning today it was revealed he referred to a prowler|
hospital nurses’ home. Police also held as a new suspect]
Ind.,
« Nearby police squads caught up with the man a few minutes later and placed him Ander arrest. When police found him he was partially clothed but he later admitted he was the nude man the woman saw in Kenwood ave. 7 Since the suspect obviously was a mental case, detectives were questioning him directly in connection with the nurse's murder on the contention that the killer. was demented. After making a microscopic examination of a shirt and some trousers found near East st. and the B: & O. railroad, detectives said they did not believe they were connected with the case. Blood stains were
found on the shirt and there were
