The Somerset Herald. (Somerset, Pa.) March 16, 1892
Farmer Wilbur Strait and wife of Juniata township, Huntingdon county, found their
little daughter, Ruth, lying on the kitchen floor unconscious, with her face and
body shockingly lacerated and bruised and her clothing torn in shreds, Thursday.
Elmer F. Corbin, of Philadelphia, 21 years old and 6 feet tall, who was recently
discharged from the Huntingdon reformatory and engaged by Mr. Strait as a farm hand,
was captured this morning and lodged in jail. The little girl identified him as her
assailant. She is not expected to recover. Her father endeavored twice to shoot
Corbin.
