LETTERS MAY
SOLv[ MYSTERY
Coroner's Inquest in Case Of
Ruth Teachout Takes
Place This Morning

Two letters now figure in the mystery
which surrounds the death of Miss Ruth
Teachout, the Minneapolis girl whose body
was taken from the river last Tuesday
night near the st. Paul boom. When the
contents of these are known the cloud
surrounding her mysterious trip to the
spot below the falls and the scene which
ensued may be partially lifted.
The letter which Ruth wrote at the
business college the last morning she was
seen alive was addressed to some man In
Battle Creek, Mich. This much has been
ascertained from statements made by Miss
Cora A. Halyerson, the girl who sat be-
side Miss Teachout Saturday morning at
the college, and who lives at 2944 Pleasant
avenue. What the mans name was the
girl does not know, but messages have
been sent to two sisters and brother Of
the. dead girl in Battle Creek and the
police are anxiously awaiting reply from
them.
The police do not believe in the suicide
theory, and think that the letter con-
tanned something about the picnic which
she expected to enjoy on the reservation,
and disclosed her escorts name
Letter to Ruth's Parents
The other letter may be of even greater
importance in unraveling the mystery. 1t
was addressed to the parents of the dead
girl and was received yesterday. Although
questioned in regard to the letter. nothing
definite could be learned but from a re-
mark dropped by Eva Teachout, the sis
ter Of Ruth, it is believed that the letter
came from Battle Creek and that its con-
tents bear on the case.
The Teachout family continue to main
tain reticence regarding the case. Such
statements as the different members have
already made differ.
Photographs of Ruth were taken to the
reservation and Minnefaha Falls park yes
terday by the officers, but further than
the man found in the park the day before
and the man Bergstrom, no one has been
found who can remember seeing the girl
on Saturday afternoon.
A few relatives attended the funeral of
the girl at Prescott, Wis, yesterday. Mem
bers of the family returned last night
Chit of Police Conroyssaid he had been
u I to find any motive for numbering
''H she was murdered. said Mr.. Con
roy, ut must have been by tramps along
the river. There IS no apparent reason
why anyone should wish TO murder her
but I can Understand how she might have
been the victim of criminal assault and
her body thrown into the river to hide the
evidence against the assailants.'
:. Co oIeE1 Miller will hold the inquest at
the Ramsey county morgue this morning
at 3 o,cioek. Eight persons have been
subpoenaed by Deputy Sheriff Hardick, but

The city hall and court house joint
committee was to meet yesterday and
consider the application of the en-
ployes of the building for an increase
of S. a month in their salaries, but as
there was not quorum in attendance

occasion to assure the applicants for

has greatly increased the work of the
clerks in his Office it is found impossi-
BILE to grant them increased pay.
The petition from. the employees
states that as the expense of living has
greatly increased since the salaries
were fixed, it would be no more than
just to them to increase their compen-
sation So a month for each employee.

employees.
