Revolting Crime in Paterson, X. J.

Two doses did not seem to affect her and the third time he gave her a double dose. The four men and the girl left the saloon and were taken in a cab to a road house outside the city, but the doors were closed there and they drove away. The men finally became frightened at the girl's condition and drove to the house of a physician, who said she was dead.

The body wag then taken to tbe spot where she win found Friday and dropped so that the head would strike a stone. Tbe driver of the cab confessed his part iu the affair and the arrests of the four men followed. The oldest prisoner is George J. Kerr, 41, who has a wife and three children.
