The mystery of the disappearance Of
Police Officer John f. Mcguire was fully
explained yesterday afternoon when his
body was discovered on the bottom OF the
west side of the lake in Westlake park by
q number of his fellow off GERS, who had
been dredging for his remains.
He had taken his own life with his re-
volver, which was also found by bis side.
HIS head was terribly shattered, the
skull having been broken around the top,
while on the right side of the head was
an enormous hole five inches long and
one and a half wide where the bullet is
supposed to have made its escape. On
the left side was another triangular hole
where the ball entered.

RECOVERY OF THE RODv

hECOV EN- Of In II bOD
1t was not until the afternoon that the
body of Mcguire was found in the lake at
Westlake park. The officers and friends
of the dead man went to work early in
the day to drag the lake in search for his
remains, and for hours they crossed and
recrossed the waters many times without
finding any trace Of Mcguire, and though
the sides of the lake were thronged with
curious people. many of whom passed
within ten feet of where the body lay, it
was not until after hours of tiresome and
anxious work that the object of the
search was found.
Officer Benedict was the one who first
saw Mcguire. Mr.. Benedict, Sergeant
Gus Smith, Officer Robbins and report
er were one OF the crews dragging the
lake for the body, and they had been at
work for several hours steady. There
were two boats hitched together, Mr..
Benedict and Mr.. Robbins being in the
first. Robbins had the oars while Bene-
dict held the graphing hooks and kept a
louk along the sides of the lake for any
possible trace of the body.
AS soon as it had been suspected that
Mcguire was in the lake everyone said
that he had not drowned himself, but
had first waded into the water and then
shot himself with his pistol. Some Of the
searching parties therefore kept their
boats close to the shore, so the lines were
nearly all the time on the bottom Uf the
lake.
Inasmuch as the horse and buggy had
been found hitched near the summer
house, it was thought PROBABLE that
Mcguire had waded into the water near
that point, although his hat had been
Os1 do nf lab
just a short distance south of the little
rustic bridge and where the body WAS
afterwards discovered.
BENEDICT THE FIRST TO SEE 1T.
The boats carrying the officers were
bridge and had gone some distance be-
yond, when suddenly Mr.. Benedict
thought he saw the head CT the dead
man and called to the men at the oars to
60 back. This was done and the boats
directed to the spot indicated by Mr..
Benedict and there about ten feet from
the shore and in four feet of water was
seen the body of Mcguire Lying on its
face on the bottom of the lake.
The men reached down and drew up the
body::with the aid of the clothes and
rowed at once to the shore, whore the re-
mains were laid out on the lawn. When
the face was shown and the terrible in
iuries exposed to view everybody at once
declared that Mcguire had been most
foully murdered, as the wounds certainly
appeared as though they had been in
fiicted with some blunt instrument. The
recovery of the dead mans revolver some
time later near where he had been seen,
of course went to disprove this theory of
murder.
The headl was broken and the holes
made horrible sight, although there

there are some further developments in
she sad affair they will say nothing.
While it is generally settled in the
minds of the detectives and Chief Glass
that Mcguire committed suicide. there
are still a large nun Der who think that
he was murdered, and they base this
on their acquaintance with the dead man
and the nature of his wound. These
wounds wore made, they assert, with
some blunt instrument, and are totally
unlike any pistol wounds that have ever
come to thsir notice. This theory of
murder would seem to be borne out by
the fact chat only $3.50 was found on his
clothes, and it is known that he had
nearly $100 IN his pockets when he was
in the saloon with Secretary Cottle.
Ifrhe was not murdered and this money
not taken by his murderers. who then
got it2
Mcguire had been expecting that some-
thing fatal would overtake him the last
few days before his disappearance, and
made two fsdi,ally different statements
to his friends. To some he said that he
was in such "fx" that he would be
forced to take his own life, and to others
he spoke of an impending quarrel with
man who would probably kill him at
the first opportunity.
From the nature OF this "fix," which
was learned by Herald reporter yester-
day after the discovery OF Maguire's
body, the dead man took his own life
