Elmer W. Weatherford, stock- fly-built youth, is in the hands of the police, held in connection with the crime, and Miss Fuller is in a critical condition at a local hospital. Ne motive other than attempted |robbery has been attached to the crime, Mrs. May Fuller, the girl's mother, who was singing near her latter to the floor, could voice ny rea- json why the attack upon her daugh- ter should have been personal, CURIOSITY LEADS -|TO0 HIS ARREST Weatherford's arrest occurred early this morning in a downtown quick-lunch establishment.
