new CLEW IN SCHRADER MURDER
Hammond Physician Advances Plausible Theory-De
scription Of Man Known to Have Committed
Similar Crime in Neighborhood is Sought

The search for the murderer of Lizzie
Schrader is fast being reduced to a
science. Sheriff Carter is even going
into the psychological features of the
case and hopes in this way to be able
to locate the murderer.
Yesterday a local physician who has
made a study of nervous diseases Of
fered theory that seems to be the
best that has yet been suggested and sie
also gave the sheriff a clew which may
yet prove to be a valuable one.
The new clew is the discovery or
another case Of assault that has never
yet been called to the attention OF the
police and was committed in ident-
cally the same manner that the Schraa-
er girl was assaulted, except that the
degenerate was frightened away before
he accomplished his purpose.
A month or two ago Milton S. Palmer
now a Chicago police officer, and his
family, lived in what is known as the
Park addition in Indiana Harbor. Thls
Park addition is a suburb in wilder
ness and all around the few houses
that have been built there are willow
clumps and bushes of other kinds.
Lured by "a Ruse.
One of the little girls in the Palmer
family were out picking flowers some
distance from their home in company
with playmates. She was accosted by
young man who said he knew where
some prettier flowers could be found.
He enticed the little girl, who was
only about nine years old away from
her friends and they disappeared to-
gether. The other little girls became
frightened and ran home and told their
mother.
The mother called to several of the
neighboring women and together they
ran in the direction the man and the
girl had taken and discovered them
Just in time to prevent an assault.
The woman took after the man but
he ran faster than they could and got
away. The women, however. got a good
look at the fellow and Mrs. Palmer will
be able to give a good description Of
him.
The Psychological Reasons.
AS to the psychological features of
the case. The doctor in question says
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1907-08-31

The Lake County Times prints the
picture of the man who was found in
East Chicago yesterday morning with
a bullet hole IN his heoad. in the hope
that it may lead to his identification.
If this is the man who committed the
outrage upon the little Schrader girl 1t
is possible that some one may have
seen him in the vicinity of the, place
where the murder occurred at about
the time il took place
It is only in the hope that the murder
mystery may be cleared up that the
above picture is reproduced and perhaps
one of the $4,000 readers of the Lake
County Times may be able to identify
the suicide.
1t might be stated by way of expla-
nation that the man has light brown
hair and moustache. His clothes were
practically new, especially his shoes
He may have bought them in some store
in the Calumet region.
He is five feet. eight and one-half
inches in heighth and weighs about $50
or 16o pounds.
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1907-08-31

that the criminal impulse that prompts
men TO do these things is abnormal He
says that 1t is a form of insanity and
Is the result Of an uncomfortable i'm
pulse.
He says the cases of assault commit
ted by the same person are always of a
similar nature That a criminal will
repeat the crime upon persons of about
the same age and amid surroundings
that are about the same in every case
The doctor then calls attention to the
TACT that there have been three cases
of assault on little girls nine years old
The case of the Paterson girl. years
old, In the woods near Columbia ave-
nue. the case of the Palmer girl, 9 years
old. in the woods near Indiana Harbor
and the case of the Schrader girl in the
woods near Toleston.
It will also be remembered that a man
by the name of Mack was arrested at
Gary for an assault upon ten year old
gorl. This man is known
Cases Strikingiy similar.
The other cases, however, are strik-
ingly similar and If the doctors theory
Is correct there is little doubt that they
were done by the same person. The only
good description that has been secured
OF the man that is supposed to have
committed all of these assaults is that
which the Palmer woman has.
Sheriff Carter will get into communi-
cation with her soon as possible and
from her It is expected to get good
description of the man who attempted
to assault her daughter
The sheriff and his assistants are still
working like beavers onevery lew
that is offered. The story of the flight
of the excited man who remained in the
lavatory of Lake Shore train all the
way into Chicago is being investigated /
but without very good results.
In fact. about all that is left are
straws to grasp at and the search IS
becoming more and more hopeless as
the days pass by. The man who was
found in the woods at East Chicago has
not yet been identified and of course
there is the chance that he may have
been the, murderer In fact there is
as much reason to believe he was as
there ever was.

No matter whether the questioner

question is put to him, he will prompt
ly deliver up the check. Everything
Will be carried on in a business like
way as far as he is concerned. although
the fun at the grounds will be fast

warmer.
Mr.. Mystery will be a stranger to
Hammond. that is to nearly every

who he is but the editor OF the LAKE
