A Soldier's Crime.
police docs at work.
GIRL BATTERED TO DEATH. (By EISOTRIO TeLEGUAPH —COPYRIGHT] [United Pbebs Association.] (Received 9.30 a.ui.) Vienna, April 19. A forester searching the Carinthia forest found a young girl with her head shattered by a stone. Soldiers being suspected, the commandant paraded the regiment in the barrack yard, but the police dogs failed to trace the criminal.
The troops were then ordered to change to their walking-out uniform, and the dog picked out a man on whom bloodstains were discovered. He was taken to the scene of the murder, and confessed he had dragged the girl into the wood, and when she resisted had battered her to death.
