The Murder Mystery

Rev. Carmichael is suspected of hav-
ing committed most foul murder
IN his church at Columbus, Mich. The
remains OF human were found in the
Methodist chulch furnace, of which
ne was pastor and the first report was
that the minister had been murdered
and his body burned The walls of
the church We're covered with blood,
showing evidence of a desperate
struggle and the minister had disan-
peared.
Afterwards, the body was found not
to be that of Carmichael. but was iden-
titled as that of Gideon Browning a
carpenter A tie pin, buttons from the
overcoat and the teeth found i'm the
ashes, led to the identity of the BODY
as that of Browning.
search was then started for the
minister and he had been reported as
being seen il many different places.
but he was never reported being seen
in this vicinity.
Numerous theories We're advanced,
one being that no murder had been
committed but that an animals blood
had been sprinkled about the church
and body from a grave yard had
been placed in the furnace, the whole
plot for the purpose of securing the
$4,000 life insurance carried by the
minister, but that did not explain the
absence of Browning.
The confession and statement of
Carmichael, found in his pocket this
morning at Carthage, clears up all of
the mystery surrounding the case.

The Murder.

The letter then describes the muir
der, stating that the man came at him
with knife and that they backed
across the church. The minister struck
him twice in the head with the ratch.
ct.
When he thought he had killed him
and started to cut the body up and
hide it. the man raised himself and
tried to stab him.
The letter tells of the minister
thinking that he would freeze to death
and of cutting up the body, putting it
in the stove and making his escape.
He says that he was tired of hiding
and that he had eluded the detectives
so far, but upon receipt of this letter
for the officers to come after him. that
he would be near Carthage, Ill.,
Browning took knife out of his
overcoat pocket and the minister was
armed with the Ratchet The battle
was desperate according to the letter.

PLEADS FOR MEYERLY
Lafe Young Seeking to wrest POST
office Plum From Progressive Con-
troI-Gets Little Encouragement.

Special to Times Republican.
Washington, Dec. 29.-Lafe Young
has been in conference with the post
office department with reference, If
possible, to induce them to retain Post
master Meyerly at Des Moines and not
allow Senator Cummins to make a
postmaster of a progressive in his
place. This is part of the Seventh dis
trict fight. Young, it is understood,
received small encouragement The
senator's always stick to name the
postmaster at home, and Cummins will
get it.
The standpatters want the postoffice
department to keep standpat postmas-
ters under the rule of good service, and
Young has been pressing the matter.
Senators Cummins and Doliver, it de-
veloped, are working together for pro-
gressive purposes and are equally in
terested in insuring that the next state
convention and platform shall be pro-
gressive. Any effort of the department
10 use the federal officers to help one
faction will force the senators to fight,
and this is not believed, the department
will precipitate.
