WHAT HB WANTED
NASHVILLE POLICE HAVE TO
SHOW THAT MURDER WAS
THERE.
Arc Trying to Prove That the Body
Floatcd Down to Cairo, ILL.,,
From That City.

II is understood that all Detective
Irwin, of Nashville, was looking for
in Paducah in connection with the
Mangrum murder case, was a witt
ness who is supposed 10 have seen
the body floating out of the Cumber-
land river into the Ohio. up about
Smithland. The woman's body. it
will be recalled, was found at Cairo.
The Nashville pc,ioe are up against
tough proposition. If Or. Feist
is tried in Nashville for murder, they
will have to show that II was muir
der, and that 1t was committed with
in the jurisdiction of the Nashville
court IL is not known whether or
not the authorities will be able to
prove that Mrs. Mangrum was muir
dered. If they have any evidence
that she was. ii has not been dis
closed.
1t must not only be shown that she
was murdered, however, but Also
that she WAS murdered IN or neal
Nashville.
The body was found at Cairo Ill,
in another state. and one of the hard
est nuts the Nashville police have TO
crack is how to prove that the wom-
an was murdered in Nashville. II
is understood that detectives have
been going along the river interview
ing ferrymen and others who are al
legged to heve seen the body of wo-
man floating in the river about the
time Mrs. Mangrums was found,
and hope in this way to trace the
body back TO the ju sdictlon of the
Tennessee courts.
Yesterdays Nashville Banner says:
detective w. I. Irwin. who has
been associated with Chief Of Detec-
tives Sldebottom and =. F. Dowd. in
the investigation of the mysterious
Mangrum murder case, returned last
night from a trip, supposedly down
the Cumberland river. Just what his
mission was has not been made pub
lie; but IL is said he went in order
to find out additional facts concern
ing the murder Officers are very
reticent as TO what was learned. but
from their manner It seemed that his
mission has not been unsuccessful,
and that II will have much to do
with unraveling the mystery OF the
case, especially as 20 where Mrs.
Mangrum. was murdered. The es-
adjustment of the corpus deficit has
been an all-important question. and

articles of wearing apparel. and II is
possible that her cloak may be re-
covered shortly.
