Desperate Crime Reported from
Florida; Girl Stamped Aged
Man to Death; Victim Form
erly was a Resident of Gas
tonia, N. C,
Tampa, Fla. March 13.?"I stamped
him to death with my feet." This
was the unemotional statement today
by Eva Winchester, the 18-year-old
tlaughter of the dead man, J. C. Win
chester, 55 yiars old, formerly of
Gastonia, N. C. His body was found
this mofning at Sefiner, a village ten
miles east of Tampa.
The girt implicated her mother in
a statement in which she said she
was ordered to kill by her mother.
Both are in jail here charged with
murder. ; j
A story of a religious sect was told
by the girL She said her father had
suffered two strokes of paralysis re
cently. She, her mother-and father,
visited St. Petersburg together in one
of the meetings of the sect last Sun
day. The father, according to the
girt, was so benefited by attending the
meeting that her mother felt an offer
ing to God should be made for the
benefaction.
The killing of the father was de
cided upon as the offering, she said.
The aged man was led 150 yards
and killed and his body dragged back
to the house and left on the doorstep
where it was found by the authorities.
The woman walked two miles this
morning from home and calmly told
a school teacher of their act. He, in
turn, notified the sheriff who went to
the scene and recovered the body and
placed the women under arrest.
