CHICAGO March pa dispatch from Kala-
mazoo, Mich, Says: The double Fosdyck mys-
terry has thrown southwestern Michigan into
a fever heat Of excitement The unsuccessful
attempt to Kill DR. Marvin Fosdyck at Aleua
IN February last and the assassination of his
brother last Friday night are two facts that at
present cannot be satisfactorily accounted for
The fact that two bachelor brothers living to-
gether in a sec cluded manner should be at
tackled by some murderous hand within a short
time leaves any number OF theories TO be
worked upon and deep mystery to be pene-
trated by the detectives. The home Is situ-
ated in Alena township about eleven miles
west of here and is quite distance from any
other house 1t is divided into two sections.
each brother occupying a section. A queer CO.
incidence is that both brothers were shot in
the same room. The coroners verdict in the
case of Albert's death was that he met his
death at the hands of some person unknown.
When DR. Fosdyck was shot suspicion pointed
strongly 10 the guilt OF his brother Albert, who
was arrested, but acquitted for lack of evidence
LAST Wednesday correspondent interviewed
DIR. FOsdyck.
He said: Il fully believe my brother shot me

asked him if he wanted now to sell certain
things. He said: Yes anything Several
things that wanted were spoken of. and then
l asked him where that double-barreled shot
gun was with which he fred at me. He said
he did not have the gun. i told him that
thought he might want to sell that too and
that wanted to buy il. This ended our con-
rersation, he having told me that he was going
to leave very soon, which encouraged. He is

This interview took place Wednesday and on
Saturday morning at best Fosdyck was dead
with two bullet holes in his head One of the
theories the officers are working is as follows:
Albert Fosdyck is said to have been engaged
to several women. Had he married either of
them trouble would have arisen from other
women. Before has brother was shot il was an
nounced that he was to be married soon. The
Tilted woman determined upon revenge. 1t is
thought by some that woman fired the shot
at DIR. Fosdyck, supposing il was Albert After
hndinS out her mistake she was still determined
to have vengence on Albert Fosdyck and killed
him last Friday night. If this theory be true
the woman or her accomplice has done her
work well, as no possible clue has yet shown
itself by which she can be detected. No re-
volver was found in the room. One thing is
quite certain and that is If he was murdered
the man or woman who fired the fatal shot
placed his body in the chair after he was dead
The deceased was in town FRIDAY and his
actions there were strange as to attract
attention. He seemed to be in deep medita-
ton over something. The detectives are con-
tinuing their work, hoping to unrayel the mys-
terry.
