UNRAV VELED
BODY OF MUscATlNE MAN FOUND
ON LONELY ISLAND IN THE
MISSISSIPPI
VICTIM OF MURDERERs
William Nagle, Suspected of Having
knowledge Of the Killing, confesses
to Sheriff and Leads Officers to
Where the Body Was Buried.

Muscatine, Aug. 1.-THE body Of
Carl Brady. an aged German who dis
about three months ago, was
found Saturday evening by search
ing party headed by Sheriff Stuart of
this city. The man had been MUIR
dered, his body wrapped in paper and
old clothes. the whole saturated with
kerosene and burned beyond recogni-
tion. The body was found on Island
B. in Rock Island county. The Off
GERS were led to the spot where the
badly was found by VIM. Nagle, who
has been held in Jail here for two
days. on suspicion of knowing some
thing about the mystery.
He accuses Josephine Collett, wo-
man with whom he lived and she is in
Jail awaiting examination on the
charge of murder. The motive for the
crime is supposed to have been rob-
berry.
Made a Confession.
Nagle made a confession in which
he claimed he knew that Brady had
been murdered, and that he would
take the officers to the spot where the
body could be found On Saturday he
led party of officers, headed by Sher.
iff Stuart, to Island B. The body was
found in the bottom of what had once
been used as cyclone cellar. The
man had no doubt been killed and
then thrown into the cave. The body
was wrapped in papers and old clothes
and the whole mass saturated with
kerosene Old lumber and limbs oi
trees had then been piled about the
body, and match applied. The
flames did their work thoroughly
After the mass had been partly. MP
turned, enough flesh and bones were
discovered to convince the searchers
that it was human body that the,
had exhumed. and after digging a lit
tie more, Nagle was called over to the
ghastly heap, and after examining the
old jacket which had been burned il
part only, and looking at a part of the
suspenders that were also found, ht
unhesltatingly declared the remains t
be those of Brady

and she was assisted by two othe
men, who have disappeared. Thes
