The man is John Hunt, sometimes
known as Wilson, of Metropolis, H..

his arrest was issued several days
ago by County Judge Alben Barley
upon the AFFIDAVIT of Keebler, who
said he saw and talked with the muir
.dered boy and Hunt a few days be-
fore the murder Both talked about
race horses, and while Hunt was
washing his linen near the basket
factory. the murdered boy sat on a
log and asked Keebler IL he had ever
been to Metropolis, and il he knew
John Hunt.
Keebler replied that he had several
years ago, but probably would not
know him now. He said the youth

The identity of the murdered
youth is not concerning him, except
incidentally, he says, though he be-

Following the clew, outlined in
The Evening Sun several days ago
Evansville detectives made inquiries
concerning the dead boy. They
thought he might have been a red
headed race track follower who
worked in a barber shop in Evans

river plor to the killing. The fact
that the murdered boy is claimed by
Keebler to have talked about racing
and his companion was race track

theory.
