by Chief Goods, of the Alexandria po-
lice, proved that the dead man was
Sister in Sioux City.
The police inquiries were prompted
by the discovery in one OF the pockets
Of the clothes worn by Schultz Of cards
bearing the address 1914 Douglas street.
Sioux City, Iowa, and the name. Mrs
AlmOre T. Gillette. Mrs. Gillette, It
was learned, is a sister of Schultz liv-
ing at that address.
Schultz is the son of o. Z. Schultz
Of Chicago. According tc Mrs. Gillette
her brother was an artist travelling for
his health He was in Washington for
the Inauguration. Her husband. who is
a purchasing agent Tor Armour X Co,
has wired the Alexandria police TO hold
the remains for further instructions.
The description of the dead man, ac-
cording to Mrs. Gillette fits that Of Der
brother. excepting that the latter's h>ir
she states, was jet black The 1ai~
of the dead man was described as
brown. 1t is brown, but very dark. and
few gray hairs make its appearance
lighter 1t is premature grayness, how
man is not more than thirty-fve years
The spot where the body was found
is a lonesome one.
Where Body Was Found.
1t is in the fields on the westerly side
OF the Southern railroad tracks, and
northerly from The tracks of the electric
line, running between washington and
Alexandria. The Rosemont station on
the steam railroad is not far away. The
dead man may have come over TO Alex
andria on the electric road from Wash
ingtOn, or arrived at Rosemont from a
more distant point
The police are still wondering why
Schultz ever went to the spot where
his body was found, II he was murdered
at that spot. The fact that only few
drops Of blood were on the ground
and there was little blood comparatively
upon the dead mans collar, led them
4 70 believe that he might have been
| killed elsewhere and his body carried
TO where il was found.
1 Chief Goods is Of the opinion that bis
clothing would have been saturated with
/ blood and the ground in the vicinity
| also. If he had been killed there. The
cash in SchUltz's neck is an ugly one
! several inches long and deep enough
to sever the jugular vein
! On the other hand, Chief Goods told
/ The Times reporter today that the
ground around the mans feet was kick
ed up, as though done in MS death
InquSet Is Awaited.

the coroner. IS disposed 70 believe that
the wound was seIf-innicted. The latter
/ refused, early in the day, 10 discuss the
/ case. however. pTeferring 70 await the
/ outcome of the inquest.
| The discovery OF roll OF gas tubing
| similar 10 that used for reading lamp
I and also by safebloweTs. led TO gos
4 sip about the dead mans occupation
/ before the telegram was received from
his sister. The quality Of his clothing
| and the fact that he had the appearance
! Of a man in good circumstances, dlSst
/ pated the impression that the tubing
might have been intended for any wrong
! purpose.
Before the inquest. the police ar,
] working on the theory that Schultz was
