United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph. —Copyright. VANCOUVER, Aug. 12. At Annarbor, Michigan, four motorists, all under twenty years of age, were murdered and their bodies placed under the rear seat of the car, which was then burned. A local farmer saw the tracks of anoiher car leading away from the scene. The police are of opinion that the victims were returning from a cinema, when they were waylaid and robbed. They were girls and were probably outraged, all shot dead, and their bodies tossed into the car, which was sot on fire in order to remove all traces of the tragedy.
