From letters received from Constable Upright,
who is 1T 0ttumwa, there is reason 10 suppose
that young Lawrence is also murdered. por-
tions OF Als clothing and hair covered With blood
hare been discovered In stone quarry near
OttumFa. Search has been mada for his body
but 50 far without success. 1t would seem that
" Liant" AcCon1b had induced him 10 marty the
girl and take her of, and seizing & favorable
opportunity murdered them both, and pos
s:s-"d himself Of the money and the ra1uables.
This theory. sould clear Lawrence of the guilt
Of the girls murder. Those who knew b.u, in
Rockford did not deem him capable Of auy-such
