Cincinnati, Aug. 1.-Two children
playing in the streets Of Mount Auburn
made ghastly. discovery in a sewer
catch basin just before dark Saturday.
1t was the body of a man with his head
literally beaten to a jelly with clubs.
There is no positive clew to his identi-
ty. The murder is supposed to have
taken place last Wednesday. The body
had neither shoes nor stockings 1t ap-
peared to be that of respectable citi-
zen about 50 years old, feet inches
high and Of dark complexion, with curly
hair. As Il mystery the crime is sug-
gestiye of the Cronin murder in Chicago
The astonishing circumstances about
this mystery are that the body was found
in Mount Auburn, where crimes Of yio-
lence have been unknown, and in sewer
within 200 yards Of some of the finest
houses i'll that section of the city.
