From this story the police adduce

is strengthened by the statement of

where the murders occurred
At about 10 O'Clock Wednesday ne
asked the police to search the house.
He said that III aged German who oc-
cupied the lower floor of the house
could not be found He it was who
notified Magnuson that a fight had
taken place in the rooms over the ones
occupied by the German Sunday night
The German said he heard scuffling
in the rear Of the house but thought
nothing of it until Wednesday, when
/ he observed that The tenants above
him We're not moving about as usual
After notifying Aagnuson, the German
disappeared and has not been located
up to a late hour Maenuson at once
called up Patrolman Peterson, VINO
( broke open the doors and made the

I Magnuson told the police that about
/ "Our months ago a well dressed Italian
! rented the upper floor of the house
and paid four months rent in advance
! The Italian told him he was fore man
OF railroad construction gang ans

men The next day twelve men movef
their few belongings to the house
They went to work each day and re
turned III the evening They ueVe
drank and made little noise and th0s
about the place paid little attention
to them. Magnuson never inquire
their names aud merely entered then
on the books as tenants for whom tou
months rent had been paid in ad
vance. The men lived slept and ate
their meals in the little rooms on the
second floor The foreman was
never seen again.
! The police are inclined to believe

I murdered for their money and that a
! ree-forall night followed over the DE-
vision of jhe sroiis resulting i'm the
four other deaths. This is indicated
