CLUES IN WENDT CASE
Being Worked Out by the Rock
Island County Authori-
ties.
STRANGE COUPLE ARE ARRESTED
Actions Arouse Suspicious of
Residents in Vicinity of
Murder.

States Attorney Weld and Deputy
Sheriff Reynolds yesterday went TO
the upper end of the county to follow
up a possible clue to the murder of
Carl Wendt, and on their return in
the evening brought with them a
queer pair of prisoners.
The couple arrested are man and
woman about As years of age, of
German nativity, and from all APP
pearances an examination of their
past will probably develop something
interesting, even il it is found that
they could have had no possible con-
nection with the murder in question.
The pair first came to the notice of
the residents of the upper end Thurs
day night. when they stopped at the
home of George Cool. The woman
wa much excited about something
and asked mum Der of questions con-
corning the murder of Wendt, in spite
of an evident desire on the part of
the man 10 keep her silent. The
actions of the couple aroused the sus-
picions of the Cools and they COM
municated with the authorities at
Cordova.
Deputy on the Trail.
When the officers from here reached
Cool's place yesterday they found
that the suspected pair had gone on
foot in the direction of Erie. and Dep
uty Sheriff Reynolds and one or two
others secured rig and started after
them. They came upon them at Erie
aud while the deputy sheriff was
questioning them to find out where
tney were from, the woman began to
tear up papers she had in her posses
sion. The couple were then arrested
and searched. Upon them was found
*l7 in money, a photograph of the
woman and some slips OF paper COW
cred with German writing Among
the latter were addresses of persons
in Michigan and an account of how
the woman, by ''speech in court,
had saved her husbands life. There
were also clippings from papers con-
tanning references to murder trials.
and on one paper the woman had
signed her name as Caroline Adler.
The mans name, it was learned, is
John adler.
Held rs Accessories.
The pair were held IS accessories
| to the murder of Carl Wendt and were
brought 10 this city on the evening
train aud locked up. They now claim
they have relatives in Decatur, Mich. ,
and their hearing will be postponed
till the authorities of that place are
heard from.
The county authorities are not sat-
islied with the character of the evil
deDce they have secured in the Wendt
case, and are AT work upon clues
which may lead to important develop
ments in the next few days.
