pect.

Muscatine, June 24.-(Courier's Spe-
cial Service.)-A coroner's jury at
Iowa City has returned verdict to the
effect that James Gallagher, who was
shot and killed while sleeping beside
his wife in their home near River
junction Friday night, came to his
death at the hands of unknown per-
sons. The dead man was buried yes
terday afternoon. Suspicion is still
strong against Charles Holiday alias
Harty Moore, tenant of Gallagher's,
who, it is alleged, had been familiar
with Gallaghers WIFE Holiday, how
ever, who is in Jail, protests his limo
cence.
The people around the scene of the
murder are very much excited and
have been visiting the place in search
of clues.
There is no direct evidence that Mrs.
Gallagher was implicated in the crime
and she has not yet been arrested. She
says that burglars entered the house,
chloroformed her and shot and killed
her husband The hired man who
slept in the house. heard no shot and
the children, who were in bed few
feet away from the spot where the
tragedy occurred were not awakened.
The affair is shrouded in mystery.
Socks May Find Murderer.
Iowa City, June 24.-Harry Moore,
alias Charles Holado, who is in Jail,
charged with the murder of James
Gallagher, has admitted ownership of
the pair of socks found in ditch near
his house and acknowledged that he
threw them there He denies, how
ever. that he wore them in trip
through Gallagher's cornfield, which
he says he was not in that night.
There are prints in the field OF a
mans foot without boot on.
