GIRLS FOUND DEAD.
MURDER IN CALIFORNIA. NEW YORK, June 28. An Inglewood message states that all the missing girls were found strangled to death with a cord in a rocky ravine by four Boy Scout searchers. The indications are that they were killed on Saturday afternoon. Wireless broadcasts have been sent out for the arrest of an ex-convict identified by the elder sister of one of the victims as the man who had promised to take the girls rabbit-hunting.
A message from Inglewood, California, yesterday, stated that hundreds of men and boys were searching Brushy Hills, a suburb of Los Angeles, for three little girls who had been missing since Saturday, when their parents refused them permission to hunt for rabbits with a loiterer. Their names are Jeanette Stephens, aged 8, Madeline Everett, aged 7, and Melba Everett, aged 9.
