BEDFORD CRIME

BLACK MAN SUSPECTED
EVIDENCE GOES TO SHOW THAT
CRIMINAL WAS OF Low ORDER

Bedford, Ind, Jan, 2S.-luyestigatiou
Of the mystery attending the murder
Of Miss Schaefer continues, but the
authorities say they have no evidence
that will justify an arrest
The court of inquiry that is invcs.
tigating the murder of Miss Sarah
Schaefer began work examining wit.
nesses on the theory that murder had
criminal assault for its motive.
Belief is growing among the mem
bers of the court of inquiry that
black man Is the murderer Particu
lar attention will be paid to such
men as would be likely 10 have carried
horse hairs on their clothing II such
man were the slayer of Miss Schael-
er the presence Of the red hairs in her
clothing might be explained. 1t Is
pointed ont that there is much evi
dence leading to the conclusion of as.
sault, and only assault, was the mo-
tive for the heinous crime. The use
of a brick as weapon indicates to
those directing the work that low
grade man was the criminal. The
brick used could scarcely have been
| found in the alley Officers believe II
was probably carried in the pocket OF
| the murderer. A bottle of cheap
whiskey has been found near the
scene of the crime. This Is pointed
out as further evidence that the fiend
| was man Of low habits.
The examination of the strands Of
hair found clntched In the hand Of
the murdered girl was completed by
Dr. John II. Hayes yesterday DR..
Hayes says the hair Is that OF man,
and that 1t was torn from the head.
The hair is of reddish cast. and
DR.. Hays Is positive is was from the
head or mustache, and that the man
was of sandy complexion, His opin.
ion Is that the hair was jerkcd out
violently, as several strands were
broken off, while others were pulled
out by the roots,
DR. Hayes discovery that the man
from whose body the hair was torn
was of a sandy complexion, and that
the hair is auburn does not
strengthen the case against Harry
I,ehr, as his hair is almost coal black
while he wears neither beard nor
mustache
The officers and detectives in
charge Of the investigation here have
received no official notification of the
arrest of Harry Beh, at Louisville and
do not believe that he is in any way
connected with the murder of Miss
Schaefer.
Much significance Is attached to
mysterious stranger who left Bedford
on the Southern railroad at O'Clock
on the evening OF the murder He was
tall. his mustache was red and his
complexion was on the sandy or
der Three men saw him get on
board the train, and Sheriff Smith is
ondeavoring TO trace the passengers
movements.
Sheriff Frank Smith said today
Il still cling to my original propo-
sition. The work was done by mad
man. Miss Schaefer knew the man
who killed her She is dead That is
