THINK MORGAN WAS
KILLED BY TRAMPS
POLICE STILL AT WORK ON MANI
-... 49, ToWOC MYSTERY.
New Theory Is That Oshkosh Lumber
man Was Murdered After Being
Robbed and Body Thrown in Lake
Developments at Inquest Held Bear
Out Claim that Dead Man Was Vic
tim of Tramps.
Special to The Journal.

Manitowoc. Wis. March 1o.-Tramps are be-
lieved to have murdered e. j. Morgan, the Osh-
kosh lumber salesman who mysteriously dis
appeared shortly before Christmas, and whose
dead and almost naked body was found on the
lake shore here last week.
1t is believed that while walking the
dock the north side of the river, ON the
night of Dec. %, Morgan was attacked by
tramps who infest that section of the town,
was murdered and robbed of his money and
jewelry, partially disrobed and thrown into the
lake When his body found it was clad
only in union suit. No trace of the rest of
his clothing has been found, and this has been
one of the most mysterious features of the
case. If the tramp theory is accepted, this
would largely go to explain the disappearance
of his outer garments.
At the inquest it developed that Morgan's
cap was found by the captain of the schooner
Francis Minor, which Is tied up at the docks.
A thoro search Of the neighborhood was then
made for other articles of clothing belonging
to the dead man, but without success. Officer
Trochelle the last person who is known to have
seen Morgan alive, testified that the dead man
told him he carried large amount Of money
on his person. Medical testimony showed that
death took place before the immersion of the
body there no water on the lungs The
inquest has not yet been completed. .
