SEALED HER LIPS WITH DEATH.
Father of Anna IJelle Williams Charged
"With Her Assault and Murder.
Topeka, Jan. 2. Al B. Williams,
aged 32, and Mrs. Jane Mayer, aged 21,
living north of Topeka, have been ar
rested, charged with the outrage and
murder of Anna Belle "Williams, the 12-
year-old girl whose body was found last
"Wednesday in a meadow near Eudora.
The body bears evidence of a dreadful
assault on its person. The finger marks
on the neck and condition of the body
show that the murderous fiend who
committed the assault covered np his
foul work in sealing her lips with death
by strangulation.
"Williams is the father of tho murdered
girl and accuses the Mayes woman of
tho deed. The pair agreed to take the
girl to Kansas City in order to have her
placed on a poor farm, the woman to
accompany the girl. Sho says that
when they reached Eudora sho became
sick and a strange man offered to tako
care of the girl. That is the last sho
saw of Belle. Tho pair are secure in
jail and tho officers expect to prove a
deliberate scheme to make way with the
girl.
