WOMAN ASSAULTED AND MURDERED Body of Mrs. Mary Warner, of Scran ton, Found by Boys. NO CLUE TO KF.R ASSAILANT Sciantou, Pa., Nov. 28.?Some boys crossing through vacant lots oil A1 bright avenue, found the dead and stiffened body of Mrs. Mary Warnei, of 1 f 26 Mend street, lying in a clump of tall, withered grass. Her skull was fractured as if by the blow of some ; heavy blunt Instrument. There were I unmistakable evidences of criminal as sault. Mrs. Warner was 40 years of age, the wife of Jacob Warner, a laborer, ' and the mother of one child. She worked part of the day and during the early evening as a charwoman Satur day evening she left the court house at 9 o'clock and started for home on a Providence car. She alighted at the ! corner of Providence road and Al bright avenue to walk to her home, three blocks away. That was the last seen of her alive. A pool of blood and two loaves of bread which she had carried were found near the corner of Albright avenue and Foster street, a stone's throw from where she left the car, Indicating the place where the blow was dealt her. There is an arc light on the corner. The fracture of the skull is eight inches in length, ex tending from the forehead to the base of the brain. The skull was practically split in twain, and Coroner Saltry says death must have been almost instanta neous. The case is almost identical with the murder and assault of Mary Quinn, on Keyser avenue, in the sum mer of 1902. In each case the victim was clubbed to death and then dragged into a field. The Quinn murderer has never been apprehended, and there Is not as yet even the hint of a clue to the perpe trator of the latter diabolical deed. FATAL STREET DUEL W. R.

Murray was preparing to ship a piano, and he accused a salesman of W. R. Murray of watching and prying into his business for the purpose of trying to thwart the trade. W. R. Murray heard that his salesman had been accused, and accompanied by his son, Earle Murray, he went to the store of his uncle, which is about a half block from his own place of busi ness. At the door he was met by J. S. Murray. A short, bitter quarrel followed, and J. S. Murray pulled his revolver and began shooting at W. R. and Earle Murray, the three bullets fired all tak ing effect on Earle, In the hand, arm and thigh. W. R.
