International News Service.
OLARKEVILLE, W. Va.p Oct. 19. -
Lena It. Onacriglio, a thirteen year old
girl, has been arrested here on war
rants sworn to by the prosecuting
attorney on a charge of murdering
her father by ehopping off his head
with an axe.
The decapituted body of the gill's
father was found in his bedroom sev
eral days ago. Robbery was the first
theory offered by the law officers but
lated developments resulted in suspic
ion attaching to the girl.
The father is known to have abused
his daughter cruelly at times and it
is the theory of the police that the
girl murdered him in a spirit id' re
vengo for his brutality while he slum
bered.
The officers claim that the evidence
in their hands indicates Itl most con
clusive manner that the girl, if not
the actual murderer, knows who la
responsible for the horrible deed.
‘ The girl is a comely, good nutured
child, whom one would scarcely sus
pect o£ being capable of the crime
with which she is charged.
