Connect Negro With Alice Woltman Death
In South Bend Indiana on September 1 authorities linked Edward Smith a 2 year old black arrestee to the killing of 11 year old Alice Woltman. Fingerprint comparison by Emmett Evans of the Chicago bureau of identification matched a classification of the marks on the window sill. A theory suggested the killer might have been targeting Alice’s elder sister Henrietta 20 who slept nearby in the same room as the younger siblings. The assailant reportedly used a razor or knife and nearly severed Alice’s head without waking the others.
