BELIEVE 1T WAS MURDER.
Brazil Authorities Investigating the
Death of Robert Currie.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
BRAZIL, Ind, July 29.-The coroner's in
quest held here to-day developed facts
which lead the authorities to believe that
Robert Currie, whose mangled body was
found on the Vandalia Railroad yesterday
morning. was murdered and robbed and his
body then placed on the track to hide the
crime. This theory is subsrantiated by the
fact that no blood was found on the track
or on the ground where the mangled re-
mains lay. which is evidence that circula-
ton had ceased some time before the body
was mutilated. Officers are investigating.
