ANOTHER GIRL SLAIN

BODY FOUND IN CREEK IN CINCINNATI SUBURB. Young Woman Thought to Have Been Fourth Victim of “Lovers' Lane" Murderer Body of Supposed Murderer’s Accomplice Taken from River. The body of a woman, evidently the ■victim of a murder, was found in Bloody Run creek, in North Avondale, a suburb of Cincinnati. A knife wound over the heart was the evident cause of death. The corpse had probably been in the water for several weeks, and decomposition was so far advanced as to render identification difficult. It is the theory of the police that the murder was committed in another portion of the city and that the body was concealed, in a sewer and was washed out by the recent high waters into Bloody Run creek. The body is apparently that of a woman of 22 years. The police say that the only chance of identification will be through the remains of the clothes, as the features are entirely indistinguishable.

On the back of the head was a cut, apparently made with a flatiron.
