Eddy Practitioner Slain for Revenge in Los Angeles
In Los Angeles on a Friday afternoon, Christian Science practitioner Mrs. Rebecca Parker Gay, 55, was found murdered in her office with a bloodstained collar and a card reading The Lord is my shepherd. Police consider two leads: a rival Christian Science group once broken up, or a relative in debt. A watchman reported no one entering after 7 p.m. The crime was carried out with a gaspipe weapon, and the killer methodically left the scene after staging the body amidst papers and letters.
