MOTIVE FOR MURDER OF
PRETTY SARAH SCHAFER is
PUZZLE TO INDIANA POLICE

murderer Of Sarah c. schafer, Il 10
rumored, is being gathered.
Il Is believed now that the girl was
brutally beaten down and murdered by
married man who was wildly in
fatuated with her and whose advances
she repulsed.
The police have evidence that this
man was near the scene of the murder
at $50 o'clock that night. They de-
clare he was seen coming out Of the al
ley block from the carriage shed in
which the bruised and crushed body
Of the high school teacher was found.
The mans actions since the murder,
It is declared, have been unusual. His
friends say that they fear his mind
was deranged even before the murder.
The police are afraid to make an ar
rest. They say lynehing will follow
an arrest, IL there exists any proof
against the person held.
II Is positively known that Miss
Schafer correspondent with some per.
son who wrote to her daily. The let
ters from this person she invariably
burned after reading. After each let
ter there was a change in her de-
meanor. II either made her cheerful
or gloomy. Finishing a letter from
the unknown, she would toss II In the
stove or into the CRATE.
To her most intimate friends she
never told the contents of those letters
or who wrote them. This is a strange
feature of the case-sO strange that
another search was made hoping to
find one of the letters or something to
indicate who wrote them, but nothing
developed.
During the hour of the funeral serv-
ices OF Miss Schafer at Elkhart public
services we're held in the high school
building at Bedford and resolutions Of
sympathy were adopted. Prominent
citizens spoke.
The town is in a state Of bewilder.
ment and ferment. The failure Of
many clews. the gossip concerning
prominent citizens with the murder
end the announcement that Joseph
Heitger, senior at the University Of
Indiana at Bloomington, and son of

with big gray eyes, dark wavy hair,
and dark complexion. Her students
were proud of her, and she was go
ing to keep an appointment with some
OF them when she met her death. But
1t may develop II the murderer is ever
arrested and the truth becomes known
that the beauty and personal magne-
tism of this girl, for she was only %,
lied to her death.
Hundreds of persons jumped to the
conclusion, when the body was found,
that some vagrant, probably negro,
had committed the crime. The theory
may prove true, but the tangible
threads of the story have caused
number who have put them together
carefully to conclude that she was
murdered by a white man. who may
have been an admirer for months, and
who killed her and ended his own
life.
In hopes Of getting on the track Of
the culprit, bloodhounds were brought
from New Albany. but the chief Of
police said he could accomplish moth

the deed was committed and hundreds
OF people visited the scene before the
dogs arrived. The girl had no sweet
heart in Bedford. and 1t is not known
that any one tried to force his atten.
lions upon her.
Although the authorities are con-
Quoting a searching investigation. the
only clew they have IL a bunch OF short
reddish brown hair found in the hand
OF the victim after the body was taken
TO the mOrgue.
The feeling IN Bedford Is so Intense
and bitter that II any suspect. innocent
or guilty, should be arrested It would
be dIficult to prevent a lynching.

she left the Johnson house, as food In

This. II seems. would dispose Of the
story OF Mrs, Elliott and her daughter,

Schafer may have revived sufficiently

The cruel and apparently unpro-
voked murder Of Miss Sarah @. Schafer
OF Elkhart, a teacher OF Latin IN the
Bedford und) high school. has reused
the citizens Of Bedford to a high de.
gree Of excitement. The young woman.
who was one Of the most popular Of
the younger set of the town. was
killed on the night Of Jan. 81 and her
body mutllated In a cab shed near one
OF the most frequented streets in the
heart OF the resident portion Of the
city.
The crime was not discovered until
early next morning, when Capt. w. J.
Cook found the blaekened body OF a
woman in a cab shed IN the rear OF
house in Lincoln avenue, between Thir.
teenth and Fourteenth streets. There
was blood on the cab wheels, the floor
and walls. The clothing OF the woman
was disheveled and torn, and her face
beaten and bruised until Il was beyond
recognition. Her hair was matted with
blood and cinders. There were evi-
dencea at every turn that the woman
had died after a terrible struggle.
Capt. Cook notified the police, but
hundreds OF people were on the scene
before the body was moved to the
morgue.
In the crowd were over a hundred
pupils Of the city schools. yet not one
recognized the victim as Miss Schafer,
who had been an idol OF the school
since soon after she became q resident
Of Bedford, last December. Not even
the most intimate friends OF the girl
knew her until the blood and dirt were
removed. II was not even suspected
that she might be the Sictim until she
failed to appear at school at the usual
hour.
Miss schafer was evidently muir
dered at about $40 in the evening.
She had been boarding with Mrs
Martha johnson and rooming a few
blocks away. Mrs. Johnson resided
q block away from where the crime
was committed.
Miss Schafer left the Johnson house
at $3.50 for her room. Rain was falling
heavily. A snort distance in front Of
her as she left Johnson's was J. D.
