"Tuesday night at 10 o'clock Miss Sigmund started from the telephone office at Seventeenth and Main streets for her home, 805 West Thirteenth street. Miss Margaret Shannon, 1319 Jeferson street, was with her.

"'As we neared Twelfth and Penn Miss Shannon said this morning, 'Miss Sigmund said she expected to meet a young man. "'At the corner a young man stepped up and Miss Sigmund introduced him as Glenn Pierce. He walked with us to Thirteenth and Jefferson streets and then: spoke a few words to Miss Sigmund.
