kefer's father. Joseph Unkefer, ST.. who
claims Grace hit him on the head with a
stone late last night, after the old man had
compelled his son to leave the company of
Grace and return home with him
The senior Unkefer claims that after he
took his son home he left him sitting on
the pile of ties in a semi-intoxicated con-
6ition and that he went to sleep there.
At O'Clock this morning, the father says,
he feared his son would catch cold by sleep
ing out of doors and went out to call
him in, but found him dead, with his skull
cracked and his body cold. He notified the
police and the officers. together with Cor

coming TO the conclusion that the blow
which is believed to have killed young
Unkefer was dealt several hours before
the death was reported.
Grace had been arrested several hours
before the death reported, the elder
Unkefer having come to police headquar-
ters shortly after he had taken his sou
home and filed charges of assault and bat

after. Grace denies ali knowledge of the
assault upon young Unkefer and claims
they were the best of friends. The police
are carefully investigating the matter and
further developments are expected to throw
some light upon the mystery.
