satcheis In the room where the four

One Had Served In Turkish Army.
The nationality OF the men was de-
Eermined by Rev Boskowisz, pastor
Of the Greek church here, who was
about the only person who could be
found to read the letters. He found
among the papers dischurge from
the Turkish army. belonging to Agne
Karofll.
The police have almost no clue as
TO who or how many persons were con
csrned in the murder. The only posi-.
BILE clue which may lead to something
definite was obtained from a drayman
named Micklenberg. He says that he
was approached Monday afternoon
last by some men whom he took TO be
Italians or Greeks who wanted him TO
take six packages from the house
where the dead bodies were found to
the union station. On arriving at the
house he found there were twelve
packages and after some aaggling
about the price he took them to the
station. "A young man aged about
twenty years rode on the wagon with
him. The other men walked. The
man who rode on the wagon said the
party was going TO Duluth AT the
station Micklenberg noticed that the
men from the house were joined by
several other men, woman and lit
tie girl, From this clue the police be-
lieve the murders were committed
some time between midnight Sunday
and Monday morning. This suspicion
is clinched by the statements OF S.
owner OF the house where
the murder occurred
MSde Horrfyins Discovery.
At about 10 a. m. he asked the po-
lice to search, the house He said that
IN aged German who occupied the
lower fioor Of the house could not be
found He 1t was who notified Magnu-
son that a fight had taken place in
the rooms over the ones occupied by
the German Sunday night The Ger
man said he heard scuffiing in the rear
VI the house, but thought nothing of it
until he finally observed that the ten
ants above MIN were not moving about
as usual. After notifying Magnuson,
the German disappeared and has not
been located up TO late hour.
Magnuson at once called up Patrol
man Peterson, who broke open the
doors and made the horrifying dis.
covery.
On the second floor The foreman"
was never seen again and the police
have absolutely no Zine" on him.
When the house OF slaughter was
searched lamp was found burning
in rear room upstairs, The lamp
was seen burning there the previous
night. This at first led the police to
believe the murders were donS-fn two
nights. The two bodies ipSthe base
ment, according to Coroner Kistler,
RwU' IyeSf uwsSN nearly two days. The
blood surrounding the bodies In the
upper rooms was more fresh than that
around those in the cellar Also the
wounds on the four appeared TO have
been made later The men in the
basement had been killed by having
their throats cut and the police are in
clined to believe that they were muir
dered for their money and that a free
for all fight followed over division of
The spoils
