Officers Make Some
! Startling Discoveries in
Pursuing Investigation
Facts Withheld Until Arr
ests are Brought
About in the Case

Startling developments have oe-
Cured in connection with the find
ing of what has been pronounced by
physicians to be the fore arm of a
woman, in the woodpile at the home
Of City Marshal Hudgens.
The nature of the developments
that the officers have SO far brought
about, through the investigation that
has been proceeding vigorously since
finding of the hand and arm, are of
such character that the ends of JUS
tice might be thwarted were publica-
tion made at this time and they have
declined on that ground to make
public their findings.
Meantime the officers who are en-
gagged in effort to get at the bottom of
the mystery, which now promises to
prove as grnesome in its details as
was the strange discovery of the de-
composed arm and hand on Tuesday
evening through the accident of a
dogs prowlings, have clues well in
hand and are fast linking strong
chain of circumstantial evidence
which should enable them to bring
about arrests within a few days and
at that time give to the public the
story of the tragedy which it now
seems certain lies behind the affair.
The officers have had much to con-
tend with TO this time in their work,
by reason OF peculiar facts in con-
nection with the case but yesterday
afternoon circumstances developed
which left them in small doubt as
to the correctness of their theories.
and greatly strengthened their belief
that they are on the right trail. If
the latter proves to be correct the
mystery which will be unfolded by
the revelations that will come with
arrests will be highly startling.
Knowledge of the details which they
are working out is strictly with the
officers and will remain SO until the
elimination of their Investigations.
