BEDFORD MURDER MYSTERY.
The Authorities Receive a Number of
Anonymous Letters.

Bedford, Ind, Feb. 6-S. B. Lowe,
member of the board of inquiry, Fri
day night declared that the outlook for
solution Of the crime was far from
as bright as it was "a hours ago. It
was learned Friday night that impor-
lance is attached to the letter from
Racine. In regard to the communica-
ton, S. B. Lowe said:
Il very much deplore the fact that
the news of the receipt of the letter
was published. 1 suppose mention
was made of it by one of the officials
absentmindedly. I regard the letter
OF much Importance and think it
worthy of investigation. Our work
along this line may be impeded."
1t is known that either Detective
O'Brien or the two detectives from
Chicago will make an effort to locate
the writer. The only clew is his de-
scription, furnished in the unsigned
letter. The communication states that
the writer can throw light on the mys-
terry. 1t was understood late Friday
night that the close conference of Off
ClellS anu uSISCIlNSS DIT Tie CITY nall
Friday afternoon was to discuss an
other anonymous letter received Fri
day. The source of the letter is I'M
known, but the detectives are working
actively since its receipt.
Before the committee and detectives
Friday was Lawrence Cosner, by whom
James Mcdonald, the teamster, is en-
ployed.
A third letter was received Friday
by Mrs. Martha Johnson. The letter
was mailed from the Lafayette post
Office Thursday. The writer in his
letter referred to the two other COM
munications received by Mrs Johnson
since the murder, and requested that
they be sent to Lafayette. The po-
lice are anxious to apprehend the wri-
ter Of these mysterious letters, and in
hopes of discovering his identity de-
coy letter was sent to Lafayette ad-
dressed to the party named in the re-
cent communication. The subscription
paper for a fund to aid in the investi-
cation is securing many signatures.

BY the Postal Authorities.

Is different names, was arrested here
Friday by detectives from Post Office
Inspector Stewards office on the
charge of misusing the United States

country who believed they would be
paid $50 for copying each 100 letters
are, according to the postal officials,
victims of Thompson's scheme. Thomp-
son was arraigned before Commission
er Humphrey and held in $1,000 bonds
for hearing Of the case February Is.
"Thompson's latest scheme was on
the endless chain plan," said Inspector
Stuart Friday night. after a woman
would write to him and express her
willingness to copy letters at 30 cents
each he would cause her to send so
cents for membership in the bureau.
Instead of allowing the woman to go
to work Thompson would then require
them to get friend to send so cents
for a membership, and would promise
to give 80 cents for each member thus
secured"
Some Of the titles used by Thomp-
son in carrying on the scheme were:
Women's Cooperative Club; Won
ans Industrial Bureau, Amazon Adver-
Using Agency, Occidental Wholesale
Co. and the Occidental Commercial
Agency.
