ACTRESS ATTACKED BY THUG
INJURIES MAY BE FATAL (Received March 30, 7.5 p.m.) HOLLYWOOD, March 29. Delia Bogard, aged 17, a film actress, who was recently cast in a romantic role opposite Jackie Cooper, was attacked and probably fatally beaten about the head by a thug in a street early this morning. The motive apparently was criminal assault, but the assailant is described only as a tall man in a grey overcoat. He was forced to flee by three women who were attracted to the scene by Miss Bogard’s screams. The police pointed out that the circumstances and method wei;e almost identical with the murder of a Russian dancer named Anya Sosoyeva last month. They believe that the assailant is the same person. Miss Bogard was admitted to hospital, and is given only the slightest chance to recover.
