Possibly a Murd er.

st. Louis, July 10.-The ST. Louis police
department to-day received a letter from
DR.. Charles H. Hughes, the eminen. neu-
rologist who attended Joseph B. McCul-
lagh. the late editor of the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat, requesting that another
investigation be made of the editors
death, which occurred on Dec. Is, 1896. Mr..
McCullagh had been confined to his room
<or several months prior to his death
with a complication of diseases. His body
was found early in the morning of the
date mentioned in the yard just below
the window of his room.
Theories of accident and suicide were
advanced. Now DR.. Hughes says that
after thinking over the matter these years
he feels it his duty to suggest to the po-
lice the possibility that murder was COM
mitted. The place at which the body was
found, he says. the evident violence of
his fall, the injuries done to his head.
the distance at which he struck the sharp
corner of the wall opposite the window,
suggest that the editor was pushed out of
the window. Mr. McCullagh, the doctor,
further says, was very much attached to
his adopted child. Gladys. and frequently
declared that he intended to provide well
for her.
Gould any prospective heir have been
so wickedy Interested in the death of
Mr. McCullagh without leaving a will as
to have brought about his death intes-
tate?" asks the doctor suggestively. Mr..
McCullagh left no will and his property
was divided among many heirs in this
country and Ireland. 1t is also suggested
that possibly Mr. McCullagh had enc
mics.
Chief of Police Campbell has not yet
decided what steps he will take in acting
upon the letter,

where no one would be able to find
him. Peterson says he ran down the
hill about 200 yards. turned and fired
