American Woman
Slain at Nassau
Nassau, Bahamas, April 20 IPi
A sex maniac was sought today
as the slayer of an American
former FBI girl whose body, nude
except for a brassiere, was found
doubled up in an abandoned well.
Bettie Renner, of Washington,
D.C., a five-foot, 11-inch brunette
on vacation In this millionaire's
plavground, was savagely beaten
on the head and jammed into a
narrow well opening in an aban
doned stone quarry, according lo
police.
Nassau police chief G. H. Ra
noe said an autopsy report show
ed the 38-year-old Miss Renner
had not been raped but that there
were "certain indications" that
the slaying was a sex crime.
Ranoe said Miss Renner's
slacks and blouse had been rip
ped from her body and that she
wore only a brassiere. He said
he hoped to announce an arrest
soon but that "I'm never opti
. mistic."
Now Attorney
The attractive former G-girl,
later an attorney in the Washing
ton office of the New York legal
firm of Riegelman, Strasser,
Schwarz and Spiegelberg, appar
ently was attacked shortly after
noon Tuesday while on a bicycle
ride through the lonely pine for
ests of the Nassau countryside.
The quarry where she was found
yesterday Is live miles from
downtown Nassau.
Police said Miss Renner's body
was bent double in a shallow well
casing measuring four feet in di
ameter. All but her battered
head and one hand was submerg
ed in water. They said' the au
topsy showed she died of suffo
cation. Miss Renner arrived in Nassau
on vacation April 8 from Wash
ington accompanied by a girl
friend, Alice MacDonald, of New
York (homo address unavailable).
Miss MacDonald returned to the
United States last Saturday.
No Male Friends
The two girls stayed at the
Lost House, a medium-class re
sort hotel. Police chief Ranoe
said that as far as he knew Miss
Renner acquired no male friends
while in Nassau.
She was last seen by a priest
who met her on the road about
40 minutes before noon Tuesday.
Her disappearance was reported
to police yesterday. A search dis
closed her bicycle near the quar
ry. Police found her body soon
after.
The former G-giil's slaying re
called Nassau's most notorious
unsolved murder, the death on
July 8, 1943, of the socially prom
inent Sir Harry Oakes. His blud
geoned and, burned body was
found in the bedroom of the
Oakes' home.
Alfred De Marigny, husband of
Sir Harry's daughter, Nancy, was
acquitted on murder charges in
November of 1943 and a i!2-day
trial in the Bahamas supreme
court.
Miss Renner began her career
with the FBI in Washington but
later shifted to the lands division
of the department of justice,
which handles property litigation
and Indian problems.
Later she served two years in
Tokyo with the legal adviser to
the chief of the Japanese war
crimes commission. She had been
in private practice for the past
several years.
Reading Device
Helps Near-Blind
Philadelphia IW The Franklin
Institute's research and develop
ment laboratories have perfected
a "magic lantern" device for the
near-blind.
Known as a projection magni
fier, the machine picks up the
Print In magazines, newspapers
and books, enlarges it five times,
and throws it on a group glass
screen. It is said to open up new
reading horizons for those whose
vision is so impaired they cannot
read even with strong glasses.
The device doubles the strong
est magnification possible without
distortion In glasses, which is
about 2Vs times. '
Dr. Henry B. Allen, director of
the laboratories, says the device
now is perfected to the point
where It is portable, durable, easy
to operate and cheap. The first
machines will undergo clinical
tests for defects for about a vear,
then will be marketed Allen says,
probably for about $60 each.
The director snvs thp rinvice will
be distributed to a selected list of
nomes for the. blind, organlza
lions and professional people.
