STILL BELIEVE MAN
MET WITH FOUL PLAY
Mystery of Death of John Mar
tin of Cumberland Is
More Pronounced.
SUSPECT HAS RETURNED.
ALL EVIDENCES OF FOUL PLAY
ON BODY OBSTRUCTED OWING
TO MANNER IN WHICH 1T WAS
CUT TO PIECES.

indianapolis. Dec. 1o.-The mystery
connected with the death of John Mar
tin at Cumberland Saturday night be
came more pronounced yesterday when
Neal Scanlon. the man last seen with
Martin, appeared in the village. He
did not even know Mariin was dead, he
said Martins body was run over by
an interurban car of the Terre Haute
4 Eastern Traction company Saturday
night and the people OF the village be
lieved he had been robbed. assaulted
and placed unconscious in the path of
the car. All day Sunday ScanlOn was
missing from Cumberland and his
boarding house. so Sheriff Clay and
DR.. Samuel McGaughey, coroners dep
uty, were told when they visited the
place. They considered his absence
significant. But any theory they may
have had regarding Scanlon was eX-
ploded when he quietly returned yes
terday.
The first suspicion to fall upon Sean
Ion and Weaver was caused by re-
mark from c. NJ. Pointer. with whom
ScanlOn boarded. On Sunday afternoon.
when crowd of men gathered on the
main street of the village talking about
the sudden death of Martin. Pointer
| Joined the group.
It's funny" he said, that a man
who was drinking with Martin should
steal his grip out of my house and dis
appear owing me ST.
| The people of Cumberland refuse to
accept the theory that Martin fell on
| the car track. He did not have much
money on his person, as was shown
by the amounts he spent after drawing
his weekly salary. but his watch,
which Mr.. BOnge said he was never
without. was not to be found on his
person after the car had mangled his
body.
An autopsy on the body of John
Martin, performed yesterday afternoon
| by DR.. Samuel McGaughey. resulted in
| the finding that the mans heart was
| perfectly normal. This precludes the
possibility of the man having been
stricken with heart disease as he start
ed to cross the tracks. the coroner
says. All evidence of foul play that
might have been easy to find are OBJ
scured because of the mangled cOndi
ton of the body.

DOG QUESTION BOTHERS
RICHMOND POLICE NOW
Hundreds of CANNES Wander

The Richmond police, along with
many others, favor the passage OF a

which run at large in the Richmond
streets and become a nuisance on the

The movement was given shape yes
terday when the annual fall dog con-
ventiOn. participated in by all the stray
dogs on Richmond's streets, was held

and more dog fights. The court house

As a result Richmond people ana
