WORKING ON MYSTERY.
Pennsylvania Officials Investigating
Decoration Day Murder.

PHILADELPHIA, June 2.-Detectives OF
Delaware county and this city are working
hard In AN endeavof to unravel the mystery
connected with the finding of the body OF .
man on Decoration day in the marsh close
to the banks Of Darby creek.
The place where the cfiarred body was
found is in treacherous marsh lying DC
tween the Delaware river and Darby Creek
and is ten miles south Of Philadelphia. On
the banks of Darby creek are scores OF
boat houses, many of them being the rem
devious of dissolute men and women. VINO
spend nearly every Sunday during the
summer months In drinking and carousing
Detective Berry Of Delaware county does
not believe the man was murdered Where
the body was found, but 10 OF the opiiion
that he met death In one OF the BOAT houses
during a quarrel. and that the Dody was
then carried into the marsh. 1t Is evident
an attempt had been made to destroy an
evidences of Identification by burning the
body and the murderer or murderers CIV
cred their tracks well.
Within few hundred yards OF the spot
where the body was found Is the farm
house of VIM. Horne. On the night OF sun.
day, May %, rope and two pieces oL
chain were stolen from Horne's barn. Inns
chain was found close to the body of the
murdered man. 1t hada been fastened 10
fence posts by staples. and after close IN
vestigation the detectives have come 10 the
conclusion that the .man had become IN
volved in a quarrel over game OF CARDS IN
one of the boat houses and had been muir
dered; that his body was chained TO the
posts, saturated with Oil, and then set on
fire. A two-gallon oil can. comparatVely
new, and which had been stolen from the
Horne residence, was lying close 10 the
charred trunk which would seem to bear
out this theory. Two suspender Duckies'
half of a hand and the toe OF snoe are
the only means by which the detectives can
hone IN identify the murdered man.
