Was a curious coincidence that his

had been robbed of her money al Iowa

victim to the highwaymen. Miss Eve

changed cars there and after eating

covered her loss. She came here and
at once notified her father at Slough

at Ruthven. and while waiting for her
father to arrive Ilovall decided to visit
the young woman and take her home
and spend the holidays there. The
robbery was one of the boldest ever
in the city. II occurred just
at dusk while people would naturally
be going to their homes. and yet he
was not discovered till more than three
hours afterward and did not recover
TIL next morning. He
left the Stanton Hotel. where he had
been stopping. for the Wheeler House.
where Miss johnson mad registered.
The only time he had displayed his
money was when he paid for cigar
at the Stanton from a 50 bill. He no.
ticed some one following him. but
when he turned east off Rawiins to
Miller the man went on north. He un-
took short cut thru the
block and two blocks farther west
stood concealed behind the corner and
slugged Ioyail as he passed. Altllo he
has recovered consciousness he is yet
IN very nervous condition. Miss
Johnson's father has written that he

Rey. Monroe Drew, that he had re-
pes.sd of his sins and that he had SO
conducted himself that his rights to

ten ministers and four elders decided
that the man whom they believed has
wandered from the straight and narrow
rath should not only be refused in his
petition for reinstatement, but should
be deposed as a worker in the pulpit of
the Presbyterian church.

First Presbyterian church of Musca-

even more severe action-that Of de-

the decision that Rev. Drew had not

was introduced to show that he had

MURDER THEORY X[AK

After the Discovery of the Bottle of

Special to Times Republican
Belle Plaine, Dec 24.-Some inter-
esting developments have occurred IN
the Meyer murder case, and the discov-
cry of the bottle of carbolic acid some
time ago and Investigations made since
then have served to weaken the MUIR
der theory, altho as yet there are some
circumstances which make 1t hard TO
reconcile the suicide theory.
Following up the bottle of carbolic
acid the body Of Mrs Meyer was ex-
humed last week and the stomach talk
en- to Iowa City for examination. This
Investigation has not been completed
and will not be before the last of the
week.
AS soon as Sheriff Youel was in
formed of the finding of the bottle
he came to Belle Plaine at once, and
taking the bottle started for Leroy,
Ill. 1t will be remembered that the
bottle bore the label of a druggist If
that place. The sheriff soon ascer-
tanned that the bottle was purchased
by Emma Aberrs. the niece of Mrs.
Meyer who has figured in the in
vestigation of the case previously to
some extent. Miss Albers stated that
she gave the bottle to Mrs. Meyer,
and that the last time she saw Mrs.
Meyer have the bottle was when they
We're together at Kiester. the home nf
the dead woman. Miss Albers' mother
was a witness to the fact that Miss
Albers handed the bottle to Mrs. Mey-
er.
1t seems that Mrs. Meyer left her
home after a quarrel with her hus-
band, and that 1t was not an unusual
thing for her to do this. There is no
doubt that she had the bottle OF car
bolic acid with her
The peculiar place in which the body
was found, and the fact that it was IN
a position which 1t would be very dif-
ficult for her to get in makes 1t seem
impossible that she committed suicide
or got to the place alone The suicide
theory must refute the idea that the
woman's neck was broken, after ply
sicians have given their statement as
to the truth of this fact.
