CINCINNATI, June 2e.--M. J. Green, an
artist now of this city, but formerly liv-
ing in New York, has the unpleasant
knowledge, az he claims, Of being man
marked for death Not only that, but he
fully believes that two men who resemble
him have been tracked, mistaken for him
and murdered in cold blood by the assas-
sins who seek his life
William Kendali's Death.
Wednesday Of last week the well pre-
served body Of William Kendall, we'll
known business man, was found in the
Ohio river four miles below North Bend,
Q. The inquest developed that Kendall,
who was from Newport, Ky, OF the Chal-
lenge Preserving company, was last seen
in Cincinnati the Saturday previous.
It was just after dark and he was on his
way 70 his home in Newport. The mys-
terry Of kendall's death was not unraveled
by the coroner's inquest and how the man
met his death isunknown. It was thought
that he had been foully dealt with.
Like the Cronin Case.
The strange circumstances surrounding
the death have since led to remarkably
interesting story. which may develop
startling facts similar to those in connec-
tion with the celebrated Clan ma Gael
murder mystery of DR.. Cronin, OF Chicago.
On June there appeared in a Chicago
newspaper an account Of the experience OF
an artist, NJ J. Green, OF GO East One
Hundred and Sixth street, New York city.
MIR. Green is now in this city.
Killed Another by Mistake.
To reporter he related his experience
since he first became aware that he was be-
ing followed, as he believes, mp TO the time
of his leaving Chicago, June TO- when he
came TO Cincinnati, where he has secured
employment. Since his arrival here two
or three strange condolences have oc-
CURED. When he came TO this city the inn
preston had been left behind him that his
destination was Cleveland. On the morn
ing Of June II the body OF Louis Cadar, a
Hungarian Of that city, was found near
Chadwick street.
The Victim Cadar.
The corpse was found lying IN pool OF
water, and the chest was covered with
blood, a bullet wound having pierced the
/ heaEt. From the circumstances it was
supposed the man had been murdered and
/ the revolver dropped near by TO ward off
| suspicion and lead 60 the belief that Cadar
had committed suicide. This was another
/ remarkable coincidence, inasmuch as the
\ dead mans description Tailed exactly with
that Of Green, who had just arrived Ia this
city.
A Second One KiIIed.
The next striking coincidence was the
death OF William Kendall "A description
/ Of Kendall tallies with that of Green in
| almost every particular, 80 much so that
4 after dark the two men would be taken
| for each other by a comparative stranger
| TO both. This death, which looked very
much like a murder, would indicate that
| Green had been traced to this city by his
enemies and marked again for death.
| Kendall, however was mistaken for him
and killed, the body being subsequently,
thrown into the Ohio river to ward or
suspicion.
Green, about the time Of the disappear
ance, frequently crossed over the river.
and as Kendall was last seen going in that
| direction, II seemsvery plausible to lis X
the two men together and evolve tue
theory that Green escaped, the victim
being Kendall
&@ Swallowed Wherever He Went.
Green is fully convinced that he las
been shadowed in this city, Covington apd
Newport by men who have plotted lis
death. He thinks that Kendall's life W. 5
taken by assasins who were bent on kui-
| ing another man, and that man was him
self. He says that the men who have been
i following him are very clandestine ia
their manner Of getting away with u
marked victim and the police do not know
Of their whereabouts He thinks that #
the authorities OF Cincinnati are disposed
to look into the death OF Kendall they ~ y
unravel an interesting case. Green is
not known in Cincinnati, unless it 10
| by those he claims are shadowing him.
