ASHLAND, Wis, Special, April 13.-The

Of the alleged boodlers. Tor the past two
or three days their session appears to have
been covering all the matters left to them.
To-day was confined wholly to matters
at Hurley. the important ones
being looking into house of ILL
repute and the mysterious murder
OF Lottie Morgan. Eight Hurley witnesses.
two OF their number being ministers were
examined. The woman was one of the
deni-monde OF that city, and on the morn
ing OF April IL. 1880, she was found III the
rear OF a hotel with her head chopped
open. An axe was found near her body.
1t was very evident the motive was not rob-
berry, for money and valuable jewelry were
found on her person when discovered.
Several arrests were made, but for lack of
evidence the cases were dropped and since
then nothing has been done towards un-
earthing the mystery. 1t is generally sup
posed some new evidence has been present
ed to the grand jury and that further de-
velopments will lead TO arrests.
