LITTLE GIRL MURDERED
• BODY INCINERATED BRUTAL NEW YORK CRIME NEW YORK, Oct. 14. The incinerated body of Nancy Costigan, the five-year-old daughter of the sales manager of an English silver firm, was found to-night in the basement furnace of one of the most exclusive apartment buildings of Mount Vernon, a suburb of New York, the child being the victim of one of the most fiendish crimes in recent years. The body was discovered by an employee in the building, who followed a trail of blood. The police have arrested Lawrence Stone, a youth with a criminal record. A police automobile responding to the call collided with another automobile near the scene of the crime. As three injured policemen were being lifted into the ambulance, Stone, whose clothes wore, blood-stained, climbed in, claiming that he was injured in tlie same accident, but this was disproved, and his arrest followed. Witnesses claim that they saw Stone' talking lo the child earlier.
