Clear Out of Case

Eileen’'s brother, Francis, then 19, was killed by Ramirez in a) gang battle a few blocks from| Columbia in 1947. Ramirez was sent to a juvenile institution on a second’ degree murder conviction and was paroled in 1950, police said. Deputy Chief Inspector James B. Leggett said Ramirez had been ¥eliminated completely” from the case, “Ramirez is on parole until 1967 and has a good record,” Insp. Leggett said, “so I want to emphasize that he's out of the picture.” The killer, seen leaving the building by several witnesses, was described by police as a man between 25 and 30 years of age, 6 feet tall, weighing 165, of slim build. Witnesses said he had a “fair to medium complexion’ with dark wavy hair. He was wearing a blue suit and no hat.” The police teletype warned the man “may

Why?” he cried “We were going to be married.| Why would someone kill her?” Leo had- been to the dental clinic. When he got back to his unit, he was told that Eileen Fahey, had been slain. “Is she really dead?” he asked. “Yes,” was the reply. “I first heard it this morning on the radio,” he ‘said. “But I didn’t believe it, They didn’t mention her name. They didn't mention mine, either. “I had a feeling, though, the way they said it. But I didn’t believe it.” Shoulders hunched, he walked slowly to the messhall. No one! else was there. He slumped on! a bench and buried his head in| his arms. “Have they got him?” he asked, “Rot yet” he was told. “May~ be you can help. Did she 2 any enemies? Anyone who might want to kill her?”
