Show Neighbor Watches as Slayer Kills Woman on Doorstep PHILADELPHIA. A 26-year-old mother was slain, apparently with a screw driver, at the front doprstep of her North Philadelphia home. Edward G. Gundaker was looking look-ing out a window of his apartment across the street and said he saw a man hack Mrs. Clara Matthews about the face and head and drag her into an alley. While he telephoned police, the assailant stripped a stocking off the right leg of Mrs. Matthews, drew it deep into the flesh of her throat and knotted it tight. The assailant was gone when police arrived. A blood stained six-inch screw driver was found at the entrance of the alleyway. The victim's husband, Howard, 30-year-old orchestra player, play-er, said his wife carried it in her purse to open their front door when they forgot their key. |
