Barren Hill Firemen Feast The Ilarren Hill Volunteer Fire Com pany Ne. 1 had Its first open house yes terday, entertaining nbeut 150 guests nt n sauerkraut luncheon. J. G. licsley headed the Committee en Arrangements. A vigorous search Is being prosecuted for the slayer of Mrs. Charlette n. Dudley, seventy-year-old widow, who was found brutally slain in the kitchen of her home, nt 330 Plum street, Vine land, yesterday neon. Mrs. Dudley Is believed te hnve been killed cither Saturday night or Sunday morning. Frem the evidence in the blood stained kitchen, Mrs. Dudley must have been washing dishes when the assassin entered. The physicians believe she was beaten senseless and left en the fleer, where she Inter died of exposure. The body was frozen when found and none of the wounds were serious enough te cause death. Robbery was evidently the motive. Mrs. Dudley wns n pensioner of the Government, her husband, who died in UK)0, being a veteran of the Civil War. She was reputed te have a large amount of money, much of which she wns sup posed te carry in a pocketbook about the house. If she had nny money it wns gene when tlie murder wns uiscev cred. The body wns discovered by Thematt Oarton, n neighbor, vhe, worried nt net having seen the widow for some time, looked through the window of the kitchen nnd saw the body huddled en the fleer. The kitchen showed , every evidence or a terrltic struggle, lnirni- turc was overturned anil hreken and Mrs. Dudley's clothing wns tern ulmeU completely from her body. The aged woman's knees were linked nnd tern and full of splinters, showing, the police believe, thnt she was dragged across the fleer after she had been beaten into insensibility. The only wounds en the body were two deep gashes, one ever each eye, which had evidently been inflicted by the bnck of a chair, which her murderer hud tern loose In his frenzy. Ur. liaiscy, the Corener, will conduct nn inquest tedny fn nn effort te deter- mine the actual cause of death. Up te I the present the police have no clue te , the murderer, . ...
