MURDER IN CHICAGO
AN UNUSUALLY ATR0CIOUs AND
BLOODY DEED.
A Janitor Ia Murdered for Money
ana HIS Body Is AfteFvvard Horri-
bly, Matilatcd and Forced Into y
Small Box.

Chicago, Dec. S.-The dead body Of
A. ID. Barnes, janitor of the Hiawatha
building, 253 Thirty-seventh street,
was found jamed into n case which
had been thrust into q hole beneath
the sidewalk ON South Park avenue,
between Sixty-third and Sixty fourth
streets.
/ The body, which was naked, with
the exception of a pair of socks, bore
over score of ugly wounds, half Of
them sufficient to cause death, even
IL the man had sustained no further
injury than the one blow. The wounds
had evidently been inflicted with both
the cutting edge and the blunt side Of
an ak, and covered the body from the
right temple down to the knees.
Two men are in custody charged
assistant janit r, and Lewis Jersey, a
man of no occupation, are the two.
The crime was unquestiOnably COM
mitted In the basement Of the house,
as the police discovered there late in
the day the clothing worn by Barns
when last seen alive and the blood
smeared ax. Signs of II struggle were
plainly visible, showing that Barns
must have made IL hard fight for his
life. No other motive than that Of
robbery is ascribel for the crime, for
Barnes, as far as known, had no ene-
mics. and watch AMI $50 in money
which he had upon his person when
last seen, are missing.
The police are also looking for Annie
Mohaney, girl with whom Barnes
was at one time very intimate. There
is no special clue leading up to the
Moliapey girl.
