OF MINISTER AND WIFE.
Aged Couple Killed While Alone
in Home.

WASHINGTON, Ind. Dec. 2S.-All
efforts of the police to solve the MUIR
der Of the Rev. William Ritter and his
aged wife have only resulted in in

ward the fireplace. There are no marks
upon her body, and it is Believed she
was choked to death. The body of the
aged minister was found in the cellar
at the foot of the stairway. He was
lying in a heap as though he a been
thrown downstairs. 1t has not been
determined when the double crime was
committed.
The Ritters were last seen alive on
Friday, when Milford Ketchum and his
wife, who made their home with the
minister, left the house to go to Burns
City to spend Christmas with Mrs
Ketchum's parents. Both were then
in good health. The Ketchums re.
turned from Burns City yesterday. and
lron entering the Ritter hone found
Mrs. Ritter dead upon the floor.
Ritter, although well to. do. owning
100 acres of the best land in Davies
county, never kept much money in the
house, and what little there was on
hand was not disturbed. The aged
couple have two children, John w. Rit-
ter. of Indianapolis, and Mrs. Eliza
Fisher, of Elnora.
