REHOBOTH MURDER
Officers Have Made a
New Discovery.
THE BODY IN THE SWAMP.
1t Must Have Been There Four or Five
Months.

The officers who are AZ work en- the
Rehoboth murder have made a new dis
covery. They are now OF the opinion that
william Records, the supposed victim of
foul play, was murdered In Rhode Island,
near or in Providence. They have allo
come To the conclusion that the body was
exposed TO the weather a much longer
time than was at first supposed.
When Medical Examiner Holden viewed
the decomposed body on the day after il
was found, he came TO the conclusion
that II had been lying half submerged in
water and mud no less than three or four
weeks. Investigation now tends 10 show
that the BODY must have peen In the
swamp at least four or Ave months.
Therefore 1t seems that when he left
Boston at Christmas time he came this
way and did not go TO Philadelphia.
Detective Seaver has conn unicated
with Reccords's relatives In Philadelphia
for the purpose OF learning certain facts.
but as yet has received no reply to his In
