GIRL, 15, 15 FOUND CLUBBED T0 DEATH Child, Missing Since Friday, Killed in Desperate Struggle. Ransom Note Is Clue. By the Associated Press. MINEOLA, N. Y., February 3.—“You don’t want me to go, do you, mother?” saild Mary Helen O'Connor, 15 years old, last Friday as she was about to leave for an overnight visit with a Iriend. Her mother replied: “Don’t pay any attention to my foolish worries, dear.” But last night James O'Connor stood | da: looking into a pile of underbrush near Massapequa, looking down upon & body, and brokenly he said: “It is my child—Mary Helen.” Evidence of Struggle. She had died after a struggle. That much was elear, for her clothing was torn and there were bruises on her body. But it did not appear she had been attacked criminally. Stains found on her clothing are being ana- lyzed. Police thought they might be &d&ne. or some dark liquid hurled at girl by a sadist slayer. An_auty late last night failed to establish the time of her death. Dis- trict Attorney Elvin Edwards said it was a “fair inference that she died the day she left home.” ‘The murder place is a real estate de- velopment, with sidewalks laid but Without residences. A workman found the body as he was clearing away brush late yesterday. ‘The overnight bag she carried when she left home, and her purse, have not been found. Her hat, a stocking and ge of her pumps were 400 yards from' e body. Ransom Nole Received. One police theory is that the girl ;:s taken from an automobile near ere her body later was found, and ?At she fought for a distance of 50 feet or more before being clubbed to death. There is no trace of the weapon with which she was slain. A ransom note demanding $1,000 for the girl's safe return was received by O'Connor last night. A thumbprint, plainly marked with a scar, was found on it and is being checked with police fl.n%grpn‘xrxlt records. e girl's mother told today of hav- ing had a dream that mdlgnted her daulghwr ha;:l met le;m misfortune, “1 saw her,” sald, “she was m’ll'll:lg Ig help.” ere is one other child in the family, Jack O'Connor, 11 years old. i s i CITY NEWS IN BRIEF, Today. .
