 The boy did not remember whether there were any signs of a struggle on the banks of the river. He had not said much about finding the clothing to any one, and did not know what became of the mans clothing he found.
 FISH AROUND THE BODY.
 Tlaere were several large fish swimming around the body when 1t was found. One particularly large one was noticed. It is said that the fish was at least two feet long and was one of the largest seen in the lake in a long time.
 A great many people do not believe that the woman had been in the water more than twenty-four hours. They base their belief on the condition of the skin and flesh of the woman, which did not have the appearance of having been under water for more than twentyfour hours
 Those who believe that she had been in the water only a short time also point to the fact that there was no blood in evidence until after the body was lifted from the water, and that the blood which flowed out of the wounds at this time was fresh and not coagulated. They state had the woman been in the water for more than twenty-four hours it would have been bloated. On the other hand the fact that the body which was near the surface, was evidence that it had been in the water a long time, as bodies rise after thirty-six or forty-eight hours. MANY PERSONS VIEW REMAINS.
 After the body was removed to Lige Loy's undertaking establishment Coroner Paris ordered that the people be allowed to see the face in hopes that some one might be able to identify her. It is prob able that 2000 or 5000 people viewed the remains. There was a constant stream of people filled with morbid curiosity going to and from the morgue.
 Finally after the body had been idepti- fled as that of Molie Williams. policemen were stationed at the door of the under taking establishment and no one else was allowed to see the remains. In the almost endless stream of sightseers there were not a few women and some children.
 The investigation into the murder will be taken up again actively this morning by the police as well as the sherifs of flee Work on 1t was interrupted last night by the murder of Policeman J. H.. Mullen by a negro, and temporarily all the resources of the police and the sheriff s office were turned to catching the negro who killed the policeman.
 So far it has been impossible to find out where the woman was living just prior to her death, and this will be the first ! talr hV lice When they discover where she was living they will then be in better posi- ton to find out with what men she asso- 1 ciated, and in that way trace the person who killed her.
