"DEAR DARLlNG."

More Evidence Found in Support of the
Theory that Tragedy was Enacted on
the Banks of the Calumet River, Near
Hammond, Ind.
HAMMoDD, Ind, Dec. 13.-Further
evidence that murder was committed
near the spot where the bloody relics
were found December came to light
yesterday. In the reeds along the
Calumet river was found rusty hatchet
with broken handle, butcher-knife
covered with blood and package con-
taing vest. The vest was of good
quality and evidently tailor-made. The
pockets on the right side and part
of the back were burned as if by
acid. In the left-hand pockets were
found small bottle of sticky substance,
few revolver cartridges and letter
addressed Dear Darling" and signed
"Your loving May" The letter was
evidently written by woman. 1t ex-
presses pleasure at the receipt of letter
from Kansas City, and says: Nobody
believes you done it, In another pocket
was a small key, card photograph of a
young woman, on the back of which is
written: ''From May, March 8, 1882"
The handwriting of the letter is exactly
like the letter found with the articles
found on December 4.
