Three Men Placed Under Arrest for
Murder,

Muroef.
Milwaukee, July 2O-A special to
the Sentinel from Stevens Point, Wis,
says: AS a result of the coroner's
inquest today, Pat Haley, Bradley
Mills and Arthur Murphy were placed
under arrest charged with completely
in the murder of Thomas Davis.
Davis was found dead in an alley in
this city last Sunday morning. In
vestigation proved that the old man
had been subjected to most horrible
tortures before being left for dead
by his assailants.
The testimony adduced was of the
most revolving nature, and it is hard
to believe that savages to say moth
ing of civilized human beings could
have perpetrated the atrocities prac-
ticed upon Davis and which resulted
in his death.
