Brutal murder shocks Kent county town jury sought in case
A brutal murder inside a south end Kent county home is reported with Mrs. Mary McKendrick found slain at age five. Police and sheriffs scoured the area for two suspected thieves who bound her ankles and wrists and gagged her with a towel and tablecloth, while the bedroom was ransacked for money believed secreted by the victim. Neighbors fear lynching if the culprits are captured. Meanwhile, debates on equal suffrage continue in Ann Arbor with Newberry Hall hosting Michigan Equal Suffrage Association events and local organizing efforts beginning in earnest.
