More or less mystery attaches to the
fact that DR.. charles H. Hughes, who
was the physician of Joseph McCul-
lagh, formerly editor of the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat, has waited until now
to ask the police to investigate Mr..
McCullagh's death, which occurred in
January, 1896. The body was found
in the yard outside a window of the
McCullagh residence, and accident, or,
at the most, suicide, was the gener-
ally accepted theory. DR.. Hughes now
says the position of the body and the
character of some of it's injuries make
the theory of murder plausible, if
a sufficient motive can be found.
