Chicago, June ia peculiar case O.
child murder has misled the people O
Wilmette, a suburban town, for the pas
week, and has caused Il rigid investiga
ton into the matter. Three weeks ago
Willie Meyer disappeared from his home
i'll that place, and two weeks later hi!
body was found in cistern under
kitchen. The coroner failed to solve the
mystery, and up to the present time
there is nothing but conjecture as to til,
cause Of his death. The neighbors asser
that Mr.. and Mrs. Meyer being Advent
lists, have murdered their child. The pa
rents claim that the neighbors abducted
him in hopes of getting reward, but, be
coming alarmed, killed him and threw
his body i'll the cistern to turn suspicion
against his parents. Official cognizanct
of the crime has been secured, and rigit
examination will doubtless bring out the
actual facts of the case.
