REED MURDER.
Audrain Public Much
Interested in Finding
a Clue.

Audrain officials are not saying
much regarding matters that came
before ilr coroner's jury in the
w. E. Reed murder case, which
reported its verdict in Mexico last
week. The idea is to catch the
murderer OF murderers first, il pos
sible, aud then more may be given
ont for publication. Mr.. j. w.
Rutter. the father OF Mrs. Reed, is
greatly in earnest as TO clue and
last week gave the following inter-
view to the CentraIia Guard, re-
gardlng some things considered by
the jury:
Il was decided by expert author
ity that Mr.. Reed was struck with
a sand or shot sack, as the bruise
on the forehead was not broken. as
it would have been if a club had
been used. On examination the
skull was found crushed aud a clot
of blood on the brain. Another
lick across the abdomen by the
same instrument was of the same
nature. Either of which were suf-
ficient to cause death. The latter
was done while he was standing,
as examination showed the bowels
badly bruised. which would not
have been the case had he been
lying down. The evidence shows
that the crime was committed at
nine o'clock or a little after as
near as could be judged.
Reed was seen lying near the
fence in the yard at ii o'clock by
young man who supposed il was
drunken man or a tramp aud hC
did not stop to investigate. Wher
asked why he did not ht
said he was afraid TO 60 alone up
to anyone that time Of night; h'
didn't give any alarm because b'
thought nothing of it at the time
not knowing the man was hurt
, When the body was found between
4 and 5 o'clock in the morning i
was 30 or 40 yards further wes
from that spot. The first plac'
showed where fierce struggle hat
taken place. Here two poeke
books were found with contents
removed, also several books. ThI
supposition is that the man or mel
who dId the dastardly deed stOppe,
Mr.. Reed with the intention o
, robbery aud he had put up such
: tight and probably knew who hi
assailants were that they cam
back and finished their work an
committed murder to save thei
= worthless hides. The tall gras
y between the place where the fgh
! ! started aud where he was las
: found was not mashed down. d
9 it would have been had he crawle
there, So II is evident that he wa
o CARRIED there after the boy ha,
e first seen him. His pockets ha
u evidently been gone thru agai
y here as a small knife belonging |
q his wife was found 20 feet frol
lr the body where il had been throw
ss away, sticking in the ground. Iii
s. gloves were cnt to ribbons and b
?, coat had several long gashes in j
8. but the knife never penetrated q
L flesh. The jaw bone was NJ
"a broken as first reported but wi
OF slightly dislocated. The blow
the back of his head was not 50
" ficient to cause death as the ski
IS was not fractured.
al The murderers probably saw Z
a young man stop aud look at 4
Il body and came back aud moved
rs farther from the fence to preve
8, it from being found too soon.

largest importers Of that commodity. The
value OF copper imports in 1906 was more
than GOO, while the exports OF cop
per amounted TO more than ssQ.OO0,Ooe.
This anomaly apparently grows out OF
the fact that the United States has SUI

that the copper from its immediate
neighbOrs at the north and south-Can-

refineries The United States, which has
