CLEVV TO A MURDER.
BlOOdstained Newspaper Found in a
Pile Of Slaves.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
PORTLAND, Ind, Nov. elf the owner
of copy of Cincinnati newspaper of the
date of Sept. a. 1898. can be found, it is
more than likely that he can tell a good
deal about the murder of Nimrod Williams
in this city on the night of Sept. 81 of this
year. In rummaging among the stave piles
near Adams &s Co.'S factory a man named
Houser saw a paper far back between two
of the piles. He reached in, drew the
crumpled sheet out and was astonished to
find that it was covered with blood, and
had cut across the pages as If the blade
of a keen weapon had been drawn through
1t. The paper was discovered only a short
distance from the spot where Williams was
murdered and the general supposition
among those who have seen it is that who
ever killed Williams used this paper to wipe
the blood off the weapon which he used.
Williams was found lying along the Grand
Rapids & Indiana Railroad tracks with his
skull cleft in twain and a clean cut extend
ing down through the brain. At that time
all efforts to ferret out the perpetrator OF
the deed met with failure.

that the employees were engaged in apat-

that it was impossible to save even the
office furniture which was in the most
distant part of the mill from the engine.
