CINCINNATI GIRL BRUTALLY KILLED III LONELY PLACE

Body of a Young Business

Woman, Terribly Mutilated, Found in a Ravine Yesterday by Small Boys.

SHE MADE A FIERCE FIGHT BEFORE DEATH

Death Wound Was Caused by A Terrible Blow Which Crushed Her Skull There Is No Clue Found.

;'; ; (American News Service) Cincinnati, O., Jan. 1. One of the most brutal crimes in the criminal history of this city was discovered today when the lifeless and fearfully mutilated body of Miss Anna Boyd, a capable young business woman, was found in a lonely ravine near the Cinclmatl stock yards, in the western

end of the city. Miss Lloyd was the secretary of the Hanna-Wiborg Lumber company and the crime was committed last night soon after she left the office of the firm to go to her home in the east end. She had but a short distance to wplk from the office to the car line but had to pass the ravine, a secluded spot overrun with weeds. Boys Find the Body. Her body was discovered by a party of boys. The trampled condition of the 'ground about the spot, the torn and disheaveled state of her clothing Bhowed that the young woman had made a valiant fight against her assailant before she succumb-d to her death wound, a terrific blow over the head, that crushed her skull. Her throat was cut from ear to ear, but physicians who examined the body believe that the fiend lashed the body aft.er he sw the life of his victim was extinct. There was also evidence of an assault. The police did not find ny clew to the crime today, but secured evidence that fixed the time of the murder between 5:30 last night, when Mies Lloyd left the lumber office, and six o'clock. Robbery Not Motive. A' few minutes before the latter hour a passerby picked up a muff that was identified today as the property of the young woman and which she dromjed when assailed, but this pedestrian did not hear any noise of the conflict. Her pocket book, which contained only a small amount of change, was found several squares away from the scene Of the murder. The fiend did not take.

her watch, nor three rings she wore, one of them an engagement ring, thus showing that robbery was not the motive for the attack. . Miss Lloyd was a most estimable young business woman, about oSryears of age, and had won promotion from the position of stenographer to a membership in. the firm, and only recently was elected secretary of the company. She lived with an invalid mother in the east end. , She was engaged to be married, but had delayed her wedding because she wished to provide for the welfare of her invalid parent. Details of Crime. The crime in its details, is similar to the fiendish and murderous attacks made upon women in this city and Dayton. Ohio, during the past, three or four years, i Four young women were murdered at Dayton and three in this city, all of them were crimes of mystery that were never solved by the police of either city. It is believed the same degenerate committed all of the former murders and now the police fear that he has again made his appearance after a couple years of inactivity.

WAS HOT SURPRISE

London, Jan. 1. The decision of th March ioness of Anglesey, who recently married Mr. John Gilliat. to drop her title and call herself plain "Mrs. Gilliat," came as no surprise to Ler friends. The very name of Anglesey has ,long been hateful to her. The notorious and eccentric late Marquis only lived with her fora short time after the wedding, which would evenually have been annulled had the Marquis live danother year. When she left her disreputable husband. Lady Anglesey made the unfortunate mistake of going about with associates of doubtful .character, so that she got little sympathy from anybody, and for a time was severely cold-shouldered by the "besi set" in London. She has, however, lived all that down, and is now generally received.

TO SEE "DOCTOR" MONDAY

Although fast mail train No. 43, on the Pennsylvania railroad, which arrived in this city at 6:15 o'clock in the morning has been 'aken off by the

company, by a special arrangement

made by O. K. Karns, who has charge of the railway mail service in this city, Richmond merchants will receive just as quick mail service between here and New York city as heretofore. When the fast mail train was put on several weeks ago, local merchants were greatly elated over the fact that they were given such immediate and efficient connection with the eastern metropolis. However, the company deemed it advisable to take

this train off recently and it was up to Mr. Karns to solve the problem of quick mail service again. Through a special arrangement with the postal authorities and the Pennsylvania Railroad company passenger train No. 31 which arrives in this city at 9:55 a. m. but does not stop will throw mail off at this point. The train leaves New York city at 6:25 p. m. and carries mail only to Pittsburg. However, an arrangement has now been made whereby the train will take on Richmond mail at Pittsburg, which will be carried to this city in the baggage car and thrown off.

City Statistics

Bang went the first victim off the water wagon. As the aqua cart was

rounding the corner at the C, C. & L

depot yesterday afternoon F. A. Dratt

lost his balance and with a dull sick

ening thud fell off. The accident oc

curred about 5:.'5 o'clock.

Aside fro mthe fact that the man's

New Year's resolution was broken it is not thought he was seriously injur

ed. The "ambulance" was called and

Dratt was removed to the City Dispensary" where "Doctors" Remmert and

Wierhake attended his injuries. The

man went to sleep immediately on being placed in the ward and was reposing quietly according to latest reports received last night. "Special physician" Zimmerman will be called into consultation Monday afternoon and will probably administer a dose of veryeffective medicine to the patient at the same time ordering his removal to another institution for the next eleven days. It is presumed that the overcrowded condition of the water wagon at the time was responsible for the accident.

A heavy thick fog settled over the city last eveeing resembling in its nature the famous London fogs. The fog continued throughout the greater portion of the night, and it was impossible at times to see across the street so dense was the atmosphere. A disagreeable, drizzling rain accompanied the fog and the night was a particularly unpleasant one.

A SUIT BY TURKEY

Berlin, Jan. 1. As a last resort the government of Turkey is bringing suit against the German Imperial Bank here in the hopes of recovering a vast amount of money deposited in the bank by ex-Sultan Abdul Homio. The money, -amounting to nearly a million and a quarter dollars was deposited by the deposed sultan and the bank accepted the deposit on condition that it should be paid out only when Abdul's signature was accompanied by a certain seal. Unfortunately this seal was lost dining the revolution and cannot be duplicated. The bank has declined numerous appeals to pay over the money. The existence of the deposit only came to the knowledge of the recent Turkish government a few weeks ago through a letter from the bank addressed to ex-Sultan which fell into the hands of Chefget Pasha, the Young Turk general who censors all Abdul Hamids correspondence. The government takes up the position that all such money were accumulated by Abdul Hamid by robbery of the state and should therefore be returned to the latter.

A SUCCESSFUL WEEK

The Blanden Stock company has just closed one of the most successful weeks in its history. At almost every performance of the past week at the Gennett, the S. R. O. sign was hung out shortly after the doors opened". At the play "Du Barry", given yesterday afternoon, the small theater was taxed to its utmost capacity, extra seats being placed in the boxes and isles of the balcony. The company is one of the best that has ever been seen in this city and the management of the Gennett theater has been besieged with requests among local play goers to secure a return date. The company will probably be booked again later in the season, it is said. The Blanden Stock company is considerably above the average run of companies of this nature and its repertoire consists of many high class productions.

Followed the Book. "Die, Bertrand Maltravers!" hissed the villain. And the hero of the piece prepared to fall and perish, as per instructions of the prompt book. But. alack, the revolver with which the fell deed was to be executed failed to do its horrid work! The villain, however, was a man of resource. He stole behind his victim and smote him on the bead with the butt end of the refractory weapon, and the hero, thinking one death as good as another, fell to the ground. All would have gone well now. but the promoted super, who was taking the part of the policeman who discovered the body, was late In taking bis cue. He walked on and in due course found the body. He was not a funny man by any means, but still his first words caused a yell of laughter. "Shot!" he cried tragically. "He's been shot through the back!" London Scraps. A Peculiarity of Dreams. As to dreams, there was a discussion at the club lunch, and one man remarked that no man dreamed of himself as braver than be is. When the dream came the dreamer was always the underdog. He was in horrible danger and never did anything picturesque to face it. There may be men who are brave in their sleep, but it would be interesting to find one man outside of the dozen sleeping cowards who is a hero in a dream. London Chsonile.

JUST WANT AMAZUHS

Spokane, Wash., Jan. 1. "Society spell-binders from the east, and Vassar girls are not needed in this state to assist in the battle for the ballot," said Mrs. May Arkwright Hutton of Spokans, president of the Washington Political Equality league, when advised that Mrs. August Belmont and Mrs. Clarence Mackay are to be asked

to send eastern women to the Northwest. "I do not approve of that plan," she added. "We shall employ only western men and women to present our side to the electors of the state of Washington. There is some talk that Mrs. Mackay and Mrs. Belmont have selected Miss Inez Mulholland of New York, a graduate of Vassar. t come to this state as one of the chief speakers in the campaign to be nude in 1!10. Wo may ask for speakers from Idaho. I'tah and Colorado and other states, but we do not believe that eastern women will aid our cauie just no"."
