GIRLS’ TERRIBLE CRIME
HOM IT WAS FOUND OUT PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 22. A remarkable story was told by the police of how the mother of a nineteen-year-old girl listening to her mutterings in her sleep for many nights pieced together details of the homicide her daughter had committed, which so preyed on the mother’s mind that she called in detectives. Mary O’Connor, honour student at the Immaculate College, when arrested at the home of her grandfather, where she was visiting, readily admitted that, followed by Nancy Gleen, a neighbour’s child, who demanded the use of her bicycle, she struck and buried her in a muddy pool. Mary’s father, who was a teacher at the local high school, said that his wife was so worried that she had lost two stone, until she decided to call in the authorities.
