BEAUTIFUL GIRL i FOUND SLAIN : 1 rdlcr Arrest Rich Yc-jv?, Racor Who Was Socn to Wed the Viclia. SUICIDE PAST 13 SCSi'ECTED. r.c,dy Found with the Arms Folded Girl i:perted to He Shot. Tracks of Horse with One Shoe MlsNlnK Give Detective n Clew. Wadsworth, O.. Oct. 15. A crimo with singular elements of mystery was disclosed when the body of MIfs Oro Eetta Leo. a beautiful girl cf twenty, was found on the liighvr.y, two miles from here, with two bullet holes through her head. Guy Rasor, a young man who be longs to a wealthy family. Is In the Medina County Jail, held on suspi cion. He was to have mnrrled Miss Lee the following day and had pnt his license from the authorities ct Waoster. The arrest of Rc.sor was brought about by the fact that the footprints of a horse with one of Its rhoes lack ing were noticed in the ro?..1 ncr.r the body. There were also prints cf carriage wheels, showing that the animal had been driven to tho rh'-ce of the tragedy and hitched to the fence and had then been turned around and driven whence It cane. Tho authorities claim to have found In Rasor's stable a horse with one of its shoes missing. The young man denies that he saw his fiancee after Wednesday night, when he completed tho arrangements for their marriage. That Miss Lee's death was a mur der and not a suicide Is proved, tho police say, by the fact that her body was found with the hands folded over the breast, and the lower limbs straightened out, as If the corpse had been carefully arranged after her death. Her dress suit case was be side her on the ground. Her hand bag was still on her left wrist, and her left hand clutchod a handker chief. There was no evidence of a struggle. Either of the wounds in the head, the doctors say, was In stantly fatal, precluding on this ground alone the Idea of suicide. The police hesitate between two theories; one that the girl was slain by a rival of Rasor's; the other that she died as the result of a suicide pact with Rasor himself. They sus pect that he shot Miss Lee and then lacked nerve to kill himself. There are some circumstances, the police say, which point to the fact that the girl expected to be shot. Last night Mrs. George Stickler, a sister, asked Miss Lee to stay with the baby while she went to a dance. "I will if I'm not shot," Miss Lee replied. Earlier In the evening the girl, who had been hysterical all day, and was recovering from typhoid fever, said that she wished that she had the nerve to kill herself. Last night the girl left the home with a satchel to take the train for Ritt man, where she said she would stay until morning and then go to her grandmother's. POISONED NEEDLES TO KILL HIS FATHER.
