While in the city last Thursday
Marshal Shelliam of Platteville in
formed Herald representative that
in his mind but little doubt existed
as to the guilt of Fred Earl in con-
nection with the killing of his son
and young Speth recently in Missouri.
Mr.. Shelliam returned last week
from the scene of the atrocious
crime. The bodies of the unfortu-
nate young men were exhumed and
identified by the Platteville officer as
those of Guy Shelliam and Henry
Speth. Their companion left the
railroad at this point and Travelled
inland, and his present whereabouts
is unknown. Authorities in that
western country ere on the lookout
for him and he will undoubtedly be ap-
pretended. That all three were
together at the time OF their depar-
ture from St. Louis has been proven,
and the fact that Earl left his COM
panions dead or dying without in
forming some one occurrence causes
suspicion to arise of completely on
his part. The bodies were given re-
spectacle burial in pretty spot in
the Amazonia cemetery and Mr..
Shelliam altered his mind about
bringing them back to Wisconsin for
final interment upon learning the
facts in the case Mrs. Shelliam,
who is not in the best of health, is
fairly Frustrated by the shock.
