JENKINS, MARY
Mary Jenkins. 12-year old school girl, of Madison, Fla., was the victim of a fiendish crime last week. Her dead body, bruised and assaulted, with a deep knife gash, across her throat, was found in brier thicket on the edge of town. She failed to return home from a picture show Tuesday night and the next day Wallace Wilson, Valdosta travelling salesman, on his collecting rounds saw her body in the briars and reported his shocking discovery. Her mother was away on a visit with relatives at the time and little Mary was staying that night with her grandmother, and grandmother thought Mary was spendlng the night with some girl friend when she failed to return.
