PITT CO-ED MAY DIE OF ATTACK; SLUGGED IN BED
Pittsburgh, April 22 -- Slugged over the head while she slept, 
apparently by a claw hammer found on the floor of her room, 20 year 
old Ruth HOROWITZ, Univ. of Pittsburgh senior, lay in a critical 
condition in a hospital today.
Police believed she was the victim of a robber. A watch and 
about one dollar in change were missing from her pocketbook.
Miss HOROWITZ, attractive daughter of a rabbi, staggered from her 
bedroom yesterday morning, blood flowing from a wound in her scalp. 
Her skull was fractured.
To her parents she muttered an incoherent story of "losing my 
wrist watch and money." Detectives were unable to question her 
because of her condition. When Dr. Louis M. KOCHIN asked her what had 
happened her only reply was: I don't remember. I don't know."
