Who killed her and juat when and where it happened officers had not definitely determined today as they ^spread a dragnet to round up and question all possible suspects Found At School. The woman's body was found around 5 o'clock* Synday afternoon near the fence between the Central high school and the junior high school annex between Marion and Sumter streets, just, two blocks west of the court square The discovery was made by a Shelby woman while she was taking rii afternoon walk The woman had been killed, of ficers believe, by being battered over the head with a rock. One eye had been knocked out and the other driven back into her head. The fact that there was no blood on the ground at the spot where the mutilated body was found led offi cers to believe that she had been killed and her body dumped at the somewhat isolated spot. The scene of the find was on the east side of the high school campus near the alley which joins West Marion and Sumter streets. .a supposition advanced was mat she had been dead 10 to 20 hours. In the round-up last night and this morning Police Chief Poston and of ficers learned that the lasl time the woman had been spcn was around 9:30 Saturday night. At that time it was reported that she was seen walking toward the city athle tic field on West Sumter street and about a half block from the spot where the body was found She may have been killed in the section about the park by someone who met her there Saturday night, but she coud have been killed, of ficers say, at a house somewhere or along some side street late in the night. This morning officers faced a baffling proposition without any definite clue to work on. They were, however, making an investigation among the woman's acquaintances to find If she had had any trouble wtyh anyone recently or for any reason bore the illwdl of anybody. The woman, employed but not regularly as a house servant, is said to be survived by a small child.
