Y.--Leaving her honje early on Saturday afternoon to place flowers on the grave of her father, pretty Anna Schumacher, 17 years old, who resided with her mother in this city, was attacked by one or more unidentified men, criminally assaulted and murdered. Her body was dragged outside the cemetery to a depression in a lonely spot and covered with a thin layer of earth and leaves. There it was dis covered Monday by constables of the town of Greece, who found marks of a struggle in the Schumacher family plot; in the cemetery, where the flow ers placed on the father's grave by the girl were still fresh. The spade which was used to bury Anna Schumacher was ideMified later as having been stolen from a cow barn of St. Bernard's seminary, near the scene of the murder. An employe of St. Bernard's has been missing since Saturday. Particles of what looked like skin were found under the girl's Jinger nails, indicating that she had fought her assailants and scratched them in her desperate resistance. The spade with which the murder ers covered the body of the victim was found near by. It was flecked with grain, showing that it had been stolen from some near-by farrh. It possHaly may serve as a clew. One theory of the police is that the girl was attacked by tramps or thieves, the vicinity of the cemetery where the body was found being a favorite resort for vagabonds and criminals. Students at the seminary have been questioned. When Miss Schumacher did not reach home by seven o'clock Saturday evening her- mother became alarmed, and search was made for her, and one of the brothers-in-law and a sister drove down to the cemetery and made a hurried survey of the grounds, with out avail. It was found that she had visited the cemetery, as the graves were newly decorated. IS CRAZED BY RED TAPE Austrian Woman Goes Insane When Held in Compliance with the Immigration Laws. Ogdensburg, N.
