Macarthur. IL will be recollected that the body
OF deceased was found near the corner of ID and
9Th streets, South Washington, on the night of

exceedingly slim. Since the prisoner has been
In jail he has made several conflicting state

same story twice. In one of these statements
he charged that the woman was the PRINCIPAL.

stlli another, that other parties committed the
crime. The guards have exercised extraordi
