weeks together there is nothing to dis
tinguish day and night. Once at Dyor-
mix two naturalists had left their ship
at different hours. When later they
met, one said, Good morning." the 9TH

the hour was Z, but while one traveller
held that it was Z tomorrow morning
the other maintained that it was Z
o'clock last night. On returning to the
ship they settled that it was last night,
so they dined and went to bed again.

MYSTERIOUS MURDERS
Two of Them, in Which Women Are
Victims, Committed in
Indiana.

Evansville, Ind, Nov. l4.-Ine BODY
of Miss Lena Renner was found by
some children late Tuesday afternoon
in Il ditch with the face buried i'll the
mud. Finger marks on the neck point
to death by strangulGtion. Miss Rem
ner went buggy riding with Il young
man Tuesday. whom nobody seems To
know. She did not return home and
relatives solicited police aid in the
search FOR her. but without avail until
the body was discovered by children
late in the day.
This is the second mysterious muir
der that occurred in this vicinity with
il twentyrfOur hours, the body of Mrs.
GeJrgie Railey being found on the
public highway Tuesday morning. The
Strdge fact that both women accepted
invitations 10 go buggy riding with a
friend that both met similar deaths
and that the friend in each case
managed TO conceal his identity leads
To the belief that one man may have
committed both crimes.
\ arin storm during the evening fur
niShes Il clue to the time of the crimes.
Mrs. RIiley apparently had been killed
before the storm commenced, as the
ground under her body was dry. Miss
Renner was slain either during the
rain or after il, aS marks of struggle
were found i'm the clay Of the road
where the corpse was found and there
was mud on the Soles of her shoes.
This interval between the two crimes
was sufficient to permit the slayer of
Mrs. Railey to return to town and meet
Miss Renner. 1t is insisted by many
that this must have been the case.
What possible motive existed for eth
er crime no one is able to explain.
Neither woman was known to have
had an enemy and nothing is known TO
link the two of them in any affair like
" TO furnish an excuse for one man TO
attack both.

it is considered doubtful that they
