Woman Murdered in Detroit Apartment Building
The nude body of a 70 year old woman was found behind her apartment building on Detroit’s near northwest side. She had been raped twice and choked. A 22 year old itinerant car wash worker, Heary Summers, is jailed for investigation of murder after allegedly inviting her into the apartment with two friends who left before the attack. Summers, a New York immigrant, said the two companions Elijah Russell and James Davis were present earlier. He said he attacked after they left. Summers is held on murder charges. The victim, Barbara Watkins, was married to Thomas Watkins Sr. and had moved to Detroit two weeks earlier for work at the apartment house. Funeral arrangements are being made by C E. Cline and Son. Survivors include her husband and the victim’s mother-in-law, Mrs. Ethel Bitter Ritenour, of Mt. Airy, plus a brother and stepchildren John N. Bartgis, Thomas L. Watkins Jr., and William R. Watkins.
