ANOTHER MURDER
MYSTERY UNSOLVED

In all probability the murder Of
Anton Mortenson. the ranchhand
found dead in the wild country
near the Little Spokane river, will
be numbered among the numerous
unsolved murder mysteries record
ed in the criminal annals of Spo-
kane county. Deputy Sheriffs
Doak and Mills, who have been at
work on the case since Sunday,
announced at the conclusion of
their work last night that they
were without even clue. and
that the death of young Mortenson
was enshrouded in as much mys-
terry as if he had been killed in
foreign land.

TWO ACCUSED OF MURDER
Chauffeur and Herb Doctor Held
in TiyertOn Case.
Amelia st. Jeans Parents Unable to
Identify Portions of Body, and
Head is Still Missing.

Fall River, Mass The charge of
murder against Wilfrid Thibeault,
chauffeur, and Frank Hill, an herb
DOCTOR both of this city, was the de-
yelopment in the tragedy of finding
portions of young woman's body in
Tiverton, R. l. Both men pleaded not
guilty
The autopsy disclosed sufficient
evidence to hold both. The Fall Riv-
er police allege that Thibeault and
Hill had been consulted by Amelia st.
Jean, a young woman who disap-
peared from this city a week ago. .s
The strongest reason for thinking
Miss St. Jean was the victim is the
identification of bundle of clothing,
which was found in Mount Hope Bay,
as the clothing borrowed by Miss st.
Jean from her aunt, Mrs Eva Lemer-
ieux, of this city, and worn by her
when she was last seen.
The girls parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
John St. Jean, were unable to identify
positively the portions of body in
the custody of the Medical Examiner
at Tiverton, but it was the general be-
lief of those interested in the case
that a positive Identification would
be difficult, il not impossible in any
case with the head missing.
The search for the head in the
swamp land along the Bulgermarsh
and Fish roads in Tiverton was con-
tinued without result. The dragging
of a portion of Mount Hope Bay off
Tabor Beach, near where the bundle
of clothing was found. likewise pro-
duced no clue. Unless the case should
take some unexpected turn it is i'm
probable that any definite progress
will be made toward solving the mys-
terry until the head of the murdered
girl is found
