THE MURDER MYSTERY
Cleared Up and the Supposed Murderer Ar
rested-Identifcation of the Body,

In last Saturdays STAR were given the
particulars OF the finding of the dead body
OF an unknown man in Spring Grove Gene
terry near Toll Gate No. 2, with his head
beat up and large stone laid on his face
The Coroner was notified, and after receiv-
ing the body had it removed to Miller's un-
dertaking establishment in Cumminsville
Chief Wappenstein, the moment the find
ing of the body was reported to him, de-
tailed Detectives Mead Murray Kushman
and Ampthauer to work up the case.
In one of the pockets of the
deceased was found a woman's pho
tograph, and here the detectives
got pointer. They all set to work to find
out if possible who the woman was, for if
found 1t was supposed she could identify
correct, as will be seen further along. The
officers searched all of Saturday night
for this woman, but was unable to find her.
Yesterday morning Lieut.. Benninger, of
the Bremen-street Station-house, happened
into the Central Station, when he was
shown the photograph. Why" said he,
astonished, that's photograph of Joanna
Gallagher that we have locked up at Bre-
men street for trying to rob man of S.
last night. Why, she tried to hang herself
last night, but was cut down in time"
Here was the party the detectives were in
search OF, and they Immediately hastened
to the Bremen-street Station-house, where
the statement of Lieut.. Benninger was con-
trmed by their recognizing her as the orig
inal of the photograph.
She was released from her cell and taken
at ONCE to Cumminsville The moment
she laid eyes upon the dead body she ex-
claimed "My God, that is my Gus r' She
then informed the officer that the name of
the murdered man was Gus. Wagner or
Wasenknecht, and that he had been living
with her ior several months She stated
that he had left her Friday evening and
that she had not seen him since; that the
last she saw of him he was in the company
of Herman Wilkn. She further stated
that Wilkin had made threats against Gus,
and had that very day told her that he was
going to kill Wagner.
The search for Wilkin was at once COM
menced and he was found at No. 455 Cen
tral avenue. When told to consider him
self under arrest he showed every vestige of
guilty man. He was unable to give any
account of himself between the hours of 8
and IL o'clock of Friday night. He denied
the woman's statement about having made
threats against Gus, but says that he had

tuo nedlLn OluCer.
Complaints having been continuously
made of late to Health Officer Minor that
the residue of the water which was let ont
of the canal last had become 30 offensive
as to make it exceedingly disagreeabe to
the residents on the banks to remain in
their homes, and for foot passengers 10 cross
bridges in the city limits, the Health Off
Ger to-day investigated the case, and found
| that the water had been shut off at Middle
| town in order to make repairs at Amanda,
De Soudesviue and Sunfsh, near Frank
lin. He at once communicated with Mr.
Smith, the Superintendent of the State
Board of Public Works, but received no
satisfaction, the latter making a halfway
unreliable promise that the water would
be let into the canal by Friday.
Mr.. Minor then telegraphed to Governor
r. M. Bishop that something in the matter
must be done at once in order to abate the
nuisance and prevent disease in the neigh
borhood. At the time of our going to press
no answer had been received, and in the
meantime Health Officer Minor is in con-
sultation with the City Solicitor as to the
advisabilty of wing the State Board of
Public Works indicted before the Grand
Jury, which is now in session here.
He also intends to drain the canal at the
elevator, corner of Court and Broadway,
Immediately, so as to get rid OF as much Of
the filthy dregs in the canal as possible.
