T0DAY'S DEVELOPMENTS.


in Fred frost, who have been leading
the search for the murderer, together
with the police I'm the various cities in
the county, have arrested and examined
forty-six suspects. Some of them only
submitted to the sweating process at
the point OF a revolver.
man was seen an the vacanity Of
Highlands dodsfng IN and out Of the
corn fields. He seemed to think hims
self hunted and ran In terror from
every one he met. The sheriff has sent
out to capture him.
The police are not taking much stock
In the story that there was the im-
print I'm the girls arm, evidently made
by the hObnaiIs OF mans shoe, and
that the letters, ct. NJ" were distIn-
guishablc.
The Indiana HarbOr suspects were
released. The police there were un-
able to connect them with the crime.
All that is mortal OF little Lizzie
Schrader was laid to rest this after
noon in the Toleston cemetery. The
funeral which was held from the house.
attracted friends and relatives from all
over the region adjacent to the scene
Of the crime for miles around. Some
apparently came out of morbid curios-
ity. but most seemed to be moved by
spirit of sincerel sympathy for the be-
reaved family and the little victim of
the adful tragedy. The demonstration
was significant of the feeling of the
community. Never in the history of
Toleston and Gary has there been a
similar demonstration. The dead girls
schoolmates were all present and many
of them sobbed convulsively as the
preacher who spoke the simple words
OF comfort to the bereaved and sorrow
for the foul deed that was responsible
for the child's untimely end
Sheriff Carter went down with a
party in an automobile this morning
to take a photograph of the wounds
of the dead girl.
The search for the assailant OF little
Lizzie Schrader is continuing unabated.
There has not been a criminal case in
the history of Lake county that has
attracted so much attention and where
the citizens as well the police are
so anxious that the murderer be appre-
hended
If there was a reason for endanger-
ing the lives of the officers Of the law
to effect the capture of the wild man."
there are still greater reasons for the
capture OF the brute who is now at
large. The police realize this and they
also know that it will be vastly more
to their credit to bring this criminal
to justice than 1t was to kill the wild
man.
Consequently they are doing their
work with a zeal. leaving no stone un-
turned throughout the entire region
which might furnish a refuge for the
criminal All day today the Gary po-
lice continued the search in the vicin-
ity of the steel city.
Last night the sherin's office In
Hammond received the report that a
strange man was seen hiding in the
corn fields in the vicinity of High
lands. 1t is said that he had a worn
out. hunted look and whenever any
one approached he would flee in arpar-
ent terror.
Deputy Sheriff frost at once left
for the scene and with several men viii
make an effort to capture the suspect
and put him through the sweating
process. The stories about this man
sound more reasonable than any that
have heretofore cone to the attention
of the police.
Yesterday Sheriff Carter and his de-
putty, Sheriff frost, took a buggy and
drove all over the territory in which
the man is supposed to be hiding. They
went TO Clark Station, Millers, Glen
