PRETTY EIGHTEEN YEAR OLD RUTH RCUGER FOUND IN
CELLAR OF BICYCLE SHOP.
GHOULISH HUNTERS AT MORGUE
(By Martin.)
(United Press Staff Correspondent
New York, June 19. Deeper
channels of crime have been' ap
parently opened up as the polic-3
and private detectives of the dis
trict attorneys office delved into
the sordid pools of lust and mur
der which swept the pretty school
girl, Ruth Cruger, t oher death.
A motorcycle uniform, found
buried beside the roped body of"
the school girl, was tried on the
unusually tall form of Victor
Blady, a chauffeur, held in connec
tion with the crime, and iiound to
fit perfectly despite the six foot
five inches of statue.
After close questioning Baldy
was compelled to admit that he
had lied in saying" he was not in
Corchi's shop on February 13, t
which is the night the police' be-4
lieve Cochri, the Italian shopkeep-,
er, let dowiihe f oped; body

in the floor of the shop.

ed to have occurred pieces of tin
were discovered to have been plac

splotches of blood. Scrapings of
the stains have been taken for
analyzing. There has also been re
moved a square galvanised iron
from the floor, which revealed a
newly cut trap door, which was
necessary for the murderer to cut
to get the body to the basement
without taking the corpse out
doors and down the cellar steps.
The trap door had been rejoined,
the saw marks puttied the whole
floor freshly whitewashed, in or
der to conceal the evidence.
In the meantime the Ghoulish
curio hunters slipped into the mor
gue where the body awaited bu
rial, and while the grave, which
was to contain the remains of the
victim of a gastly crime, was be
m? dug, the kleptomaniac idea
took possession , of someone who
stole from the body a shell comb:
The funeral of the unfortunate
girl was conducted with the great
est secrecy. The metal plate af
fixed near to the body of Ruth
Cruger states "buried somewhere
m the country." Morbid euri
fc ousity had no chance of a glimpse
at the funeral whichwas attended
quietly with only the father, moth
er and sisters of the murdered
child followed to the grave.
All possible influence is being
brought to bear to obtain the ex

the first hand-to-hand battle be-
tween an aeroplane and infantry.
This encounter had taken place
miles behind the German lines..
Selecting a cleared space back
of a forest, Madon alighted and
began the hasty readjustments.
Presently he noticed a man ap
proaching, staring at him curi
ously. As the individual was not
in uniform, he decided, the man
must be a French peasant. Call
out to him in French he said.:
; "Please go away quickly, my
friend. I' don't need your ser
vices and your presence might
attract the Germans."
.Within an instant, Madon "was
disillusioned. Turning, the man
uttered a command in German
and signalled for an advance.
Instantly a German patrol leaped
to its feet and with rifles aimed
started to bear down , on the
French aviator. .
Almost at the same instant the
motor" of the' airplane began the
rythmic chugging that indicated
it was again operating properly.
-Madon leaped to his seat, loosened
his breaks, adjusted his machine-
gun, and charged at ever increas
ing speed on the advancing in
fantry patrol.
The latter opened' fire - with
their rifles as Madon 's machine
gun caught them in its deadly
sweep. The Germans .went down
as though mowed by a cycle, not
over thret ": or four remaining
standing or kneeling.' ,
Madon increased the speed of
his , engine and then' .bore down
on the few remaining Germans.
Whether they fell before the
wines of the aeroplane struck
them, or were mowed ; down by

The. greatest drawback to " the

Dr. T. M. Jordan who is State
director for the State Board of
Health of the anti-typhoid work
is the scarcity of doctors to ad
minister the vaccine, but this is
due, thinks Dr. Jordan, to the
fact that physicians have not yet
understood the Board's plan of
procedure in 'doing this work,
which method, as explained by
him, works no hardships on the
doctors of any country. The val
