The Body of the Victim Found--What
Led to the Crime.

RocHEsTER, N. Y, May 2.-The body
of Roy M. Culver has been found in the
Clyde river, between Clyde and Savan-
nah. He had been murdered and
thrown into the water. He was the
young secretary of the Young Mems
Christian Association at Newark, who
mysteriously disappeared recently.
Culver started from Newark for Syra-
cuse, but did not return when he said
he would. Three days later Mr.. Am
norman, of Newark, his cousin, received
q postal card mailed at Syracuse stating
that he would return on Sunday. In
the same mail was received a letter
printed in q large rough disguised hand
as follows:
"SYRAcUsE, N. Y.-Mr. Ammerman-
Dear Sir: Perhaps by this time you will
be somewhat worried about the absence
of Roy M. Culver. / have this much to
say in regard to the matter. In search
ing the genealogical records he discover
ed my family secret. It is this: Many
years ago large property was left to
Mr.. Culver's ancestors. He was never
informed of this fact. My father, at
that time lawyer, had entire charge OF
the transaction, and he arranged matters
30 that Mr.. Culver's ancestors were de-
prived of their rightful inheritance.
''Mr. Culver worked diligently to
prove his claim to this property. He
has succeeded to a certain extent, and
an appointment was made to meet at
Syracuse.
'sThe fortune referred to was an inn
mense property consisting of lands,
houses and money well invested. and to.
day is one of the largest estates in exist
ence. He has not spoken to any of his
friends, intending to surprise them very
soon.
''His last words were these, when
asked him if he wished to say anything
to his friends Tell Cooper to pay al
my outstanding debts and retain fol
himself everything left. Tell Lath t.
take charge of my place at Slab City un-
I'll sold. Good bye to all my friends
''This is the end of my story, and you
will probably never hear from me again
Yours truly, A STRANGER
Mr.. zimmerman Immediately tele.
graphed to New York for his brother
Cooper Culver, who arrived promptly
and q search of his trunk was made
They found $24 and number of letters
concerning Roy's family and the estate
many being from persons well known by
the family, but this was the first intima
tion the family had had that there wa.
any property coming to them.
