was the family cat The men who
worked on the sewer declared that the
woman had told them that there was
one dark room in the house which has
always been damp and it was thought
possible that this room might have had
a trap door leading to the space under
the house but nothing was found to in
dictate that such door had ever existed
The officials who examined the house
discovered that the body of the man
was probably taken out of the rear
door of the house and under the house
through a hole only a few feet from
the rear door. This hole had afterward
been closed up with pile of old lum-
Der. 1t would have been an easy mat
ter for the remains to have been
disposed of under the house as
the boards would have completely hid
the people working at the disposal of
the body from sight.
Chief Of Police O'Hare and District
Attorney R. V. Baker took hold of the
case with vigor and began to follow
every clew that presented itself 1t
was at first thought possible that the
dead man might have been Jorgen
! FredsOn, the old Danish farmer who
disappeared in January with large
sum of money on his person, but an
examination Of the remains shows that
the dead man could not have been as
old a man as Fredson and the remains
Indicate that sbe dead man was man
between twenty anu thirty years Of age.
There is nothing in the clothing found
in the grave save a couple of pieces of
blue crayon and couple of matches.
The clothing of the man seems to indi-
cate that he was laborer
Clews have been reported to the pol
ice in abundance but the officials have
not been able to get anything tangible
out of any of the stories told them.
One of the stories relates to a couple
who moved into the house and after
stocking it with practically new furni-
ture moved out two days later and per-
mitted the furniture to be taken back
to the store. An examination Of the
list of missing men fails to reveal any
description which would tally with the
grinning skeleton held at the morgue.
Chief Hare has been attempting to
get some line con the men and women
who have lived in the house since last
year but this is very difficult matter.
People have lived in the house for a
week or a month and given it I'D to
new tenants. Notwithstanding the
fact that the old house has but three
rooms in it nearly every one Of the
tenants has kept boarders and at times
as high as ten people have lived in
the house at one time. Most of the
men have worked at the plant of the
Chicago Brass works and for this rea-
son the records of this plant are be-
ing searched to find if any workmen
have disappeared. Chief O'Hare is
now seeking to find the members
of the family who recently moved out
Of the house.
The most interesting clew to be fol-
lowed by the police is in connection
with the disappearance of a man by
the name of Pachkowski who disappear
ed from Kenosha seven months ago.
The man had come to Kenosha from
one of the Slavish countries in Europe
and was a free spender about the sa-
looms in the Brassville neighborhood.
He had lived at the house where the
body was found and disappeared over
night The police were asked to
search for this man by the people who
lived in the house, but two DAYS af-
ter the search was taken up these pes-
pie are alleged to have disappeared
and it is thought possible that they re-
turned to the old country. No trace
of Pachkowski was ever found by the
police. It is declared that this man
on several occasions had displayed con-
siderable money.
Pashkowski was described as thirty
Years of age, five feet seven inches
high, and had reddish brown hair.
This description in way fits the de-
scription CT the body found on Tues
day This afternoon the police are
making efforts to gee into touch with
some Of the men who had known Paeh.
