REMAINS UNSOLVED
Does the Eicks Murder Mystery
at Oklahoma city.

Oklahoma City, Aug 22-(special)-
The murderer Of the headless corpse. re-
Gently found in the North Canadian river
are still at large. The two men-Hoffer
and King-who we're arrested for the
crime. proved complete allbi and were
discharged.
The rimes-Journal Of this city, gives
the following particulars OF the examina-
ton.
A large crowd Of people had assembled
in the district court room today where
the preliminary hearing OF King ane
Hopper. accusel Of the murder Of A. ].
Eick. was to take place The hearing
was to take place in the probate court
room. but 1t was considered too small to
accommodate the crowd and after the
court had adjourned until 1870. the judge
stated to the public that the court would
convene In the district court room ove;-
head. At 1880 the court room was crowd
ed, standing room being at a premium
with eager and curious people
At the stenographers table we're assem-
bled half dozen young ladies from the
Commercial school, who were there TO
hear the evidence and to practice steno-
graphy by reporting the case.
At O'Clock the prisoners who had been
in the room half an hour, we're taken
from the court room to the law Office OF
Keaton g. Kearful. The audience remain
ed in the court room and continued buzz
zing. The rumor soon started that the
preliminary examination would not take
place. There was surprise disappoint-
ment and disgust was portrayed on most
every countenance.
In the office OF Keaton & Kearful King
and Hopper made a statement which was
corroborated by Frutell and Wilkes VIII
Jams. and taken down by a stenographer.
to the effect that all four were together
en- that fatal night and that they lert
town together and remained together
that night This statement all swore to
and were released from custody.
There was very strong circumstantial
evidence against King and Hopper, yet
il was only circumstantial. They proved
a complete alibi.
The authorities claim that they have
other clues which viii ultimately lead 70
the arrest and conviction Of the right
parties.
County Attorney Taylor said to a rep
resentatiye OF the Times-Journal, after
the statement Of the four men had been
taken, that ne had had one Of the best
detectives IN the southwest at work for
several days on the case at heavy ex-
pense and that the detective had devel-
oped the case fully and had reported 10
Mr. Taylor that the wrong men were
under arrest
This fact makes the murder OF Eick a
greater mystery than ever. one curious
feature OF the case Is the fact that the
murdered man, who was well known TO
a great many people here, was not seen
In the city Immediately before the muir
der was committed
This makes 1t appear that EiclS was in
camp with party from some other town
when he was murdered. One thing is
certain, Eick was decapitated at the
camp found southeast OF the city and his
papers burned at the camp FIRE
