AT SIGHT
OF SONS SLAYER
Mrs. Bedell, Mother of Man
Killed by Ickler, SwOOns
at the Inquest

MY God, are you the man who killed
my boy?" cried Mrs. Bedell. mother of
Floyd Fl. Bedell, bending over Freder-
lex Ickler at the coroner's inquest yes
terday.
Then she tainted, while Ickler stu
pidly looked at the aged woman. John
Kennedy, chief deputy coroner, gently
carried the unconscious woman from
the room. Then the investigation pro-
ceeded, with the ultimate verdict that
Ickler had killed Bedell and mortally
wounded Richard Parker while suffer
ing from temporary insanity. The jury
strongly recommended that the chief
of police investigate such places as
DR.. Miles & Co.'S institute, where the
murder was committed March 6, and
the California medical institute as per-
nicious places.
Robert Duke, assistant district at
torney, was on the stand when Bedells
mother tainted. He had taken the dy
ing statement of Parker, who passed
away at the emergency hospital late
Wednesday night.
do you know who committed the
murders of Bedell and Parker?" asked
Coroner Leland.
Duke rose in his chair and pointed
to Ickler, who sat stolidly between De-
tectives Ed Wren and Riordan.
There's the man who did the shoot
ing" said he.
Mrs. Bedell had calmly listened tc

the testimony up to that time, but
the tenseness of the scene in which
her sons slayer was officially indicated
broke the saddened womans poise.
1ckler himself was the first witness
called He recounted the details of
the murders with the unconcern he
had shown on the night of the killing.
He related how he had undertaken
treatment from the Miles concern, run
by DR.. 0. c. Joslen and DIR. George Lee.
He said that later he went to the
California medical institute. a gaudy
concern in Market street opposite
Stockton, which is said to be operated
also by DR.. Joslen.
DR.. Joslen, when called to the stand.
denied ownership of the latter place. DIR.
Lee, the man who first treated Ickler,
and whom the murderer wanted chiefly
to Kill, was questioned by DIR. Leland
on the medical aspect of the Ickler
case and showed such a vague memory
and so obvious disposition not to
testify that he was sharply repri-
manded.
The coroner's jury recommended that
Ickler be examined by lunacy COM
mission.

NO FIRE SALE
BUT PIANOS
FOR LESS
Byron Mauzy Makes An
nOuncement

There still seems to be an impress
sion among some that the recent
fire destroyed our building and our
piano stock. This is not so.
The fire was next door to us. In
the great hurry of punching the pia-
nos together to protect them, some
damage was done in the way of
bruises and scratches. THIS WAS
ABSOLUTELY THE ONLY DAMAGE
DONE.
LIBERAL INSURANCE SETTLE
MENT
We have collected liberal damages
from the insurance companies. Be-
sides. we have been literally scared
out" of carrying so large a stock
under the present conditions. In
surance rates are too burdensome
and the risk and worry are too
great.
OUR LIBERAL OFFER
Therefore, we are selling 100000
worth of excellent pianos al genuine
cut prices. Here are few of the
bargains: Pianos for S75. 800, sI25,
$3.50. S175, 500, $3.50 cash-that's
what talks now. Some of these are
used piaros of good makes. some of
them are new. Other pianos rang
ing up to $I,000-every one of them
marked down. These prices are for
everybody. The name Byron Nauzy
stands for one price.
This is golden opportunity
which is making many homes happy
with new pianos. Will your home
be one?

SLAIN MANS BODY FOUND;
NEW MYSTERY AT LAPORTE.
Well Dressed Man Murdered and BUR-
led Under RaIls-Vfctim's Person Is
Stripped of Means of Identification.

LaPorte. Ind, Aug "a murder
mystery developed today with the fnd-
ing of the body of a well dressed man
about 40 years of age buried under a
pile of rails half mile east of Rolling
Prairie The man had been shot in
the head with a shotgun.
The clothes of the victim indicate
that he was well to do. He wore a
panam hat and patent leather slippers,
and his suit was made of costly ma
terials. The most plausible theory adj
vanced is that he was lured to the
place.
Nothing but copy of the Minnesota
Farmer was found on the slain mans
person, his murderers having stripped
him of any evidence as to identifiea-
ton. The body was brought to the
morgue in this city.

POLICE find TRUTH
STRANGE AS FICTION
South Chicago Man Over
come by Heat Tells Cops
a Strange Story.
WAS IN FRISCO EARTHQUAKE
Medical Aid Given to New York
Man Who Has Queer Letter
on His Person.

That truth is stranger than fiction,
and that fiction is only the reflection
of realities, was demonstrated to the
South Chicago authorities yesterday
afternoon when Officer John Spanier OF
the East Side found a man down and
out at Howard avenue, near the state
line. The man evidently was over
come by heat. and in his face there
were lines showing dissipation and
others telling the story of some quiet
sorrow.
In Demented Condition.
The man was taken in the police am
bulance to the South Chicago station,
where he was put into one OF the
wards and medical care given him. Up
to this morning he was still demented,
and no matter how the official tried
they could not elicit from him his name
or his destination.
Incoherently he spoke about York
state,' unil the officials came to the
conclusion that he was a New Yorker.
There was something about his man
ner that showed him to be an eastern
er. In his pocket was found an eigh-
teen-page letter without address and
unsigned and unfinished. The officers
the only conclusion that they reached
was that the letter was addressed to
the mans father in New York.
1t was letter of self-accusation, but
contained more accusation and re-
proach for the father. The son held
him responsible for his present con-
dition. Yet he honored the name of
his father and said he would not cast
a blemish on it when he committed
suicide, as he intended to do.
The letter went back to a time six
years ago, when the stern father was
nearly a millionaire, forbid his home
to his son because the latter dared to
marry a poor girl whom he loved, and
this in the face of his fathers pro-
testation.
My dear wife and two precious chill
dren lived happy and we wanted moth
ing" the letter continued Il saw
where you advertised in the big papers
for me. but I ignored your call. the
same as you ignored mine when I mar
ried my wife.

came the terrible disaster. It swept
my wife and babies away. leaving me
