(Received this day at 1.5 p.m.) BERLIN, April 6
An extraordinary parallel to the Dusseldorf outrages occurred at Saarbrueken, but in this instance the perpetrator was a twelve-year-old girl, Kathleen Heifer, who confessed to having killed a four year old infant and inflicted savage injuries on foui others. The body of the murdered girl was found carefully hidden in a hollow near a disused cemetery. In the next few days a four year old girl was found distracted, with throttling marts on her neck. Then in quick sucession three others were discovered, Reifer maintains a stubborn silence in the face of police questions, and has refused to give her motive. Her parents are excellent citizens.
