Norman e. Black of Muncie. an un-
Gle of Mrs. o. X. Harms of this city
and we'll known by local real estate
men and banking officials was mys-
teriously murdered in South Muncie
Thursday evening. Absolutely no
clue has been obtained by the Muncie
police. Mrs. Harms went to Muncie
Friday morning. An account from
Muncie says:
Norman e. Black, So years old, one
of Muncie's most prominent real es-
tate men and vice president of the
Peoples Trust company. was myster-
iously shot while out driving in the
southern part of the city shortly at
ter o'clock last night. He died at
the Mix hospital at 10 o'clock from a
bullet wound in the head. The shot
entered the back Of the head and lodg-
ed above the right eye.
A Mysterious Case.
The killing is the most mysterious
that has occurred in the city for years.
The police have no clue. The entire
department was placed at work on
the case. but at a late hour nothing
had been found that would tend to
solve the mystery of the shooting.
Shortly before o'clock Mr.. Black
called at the Thomas livery barn for
his rig. stating that he was going to
the southern part Of the city In less
than an hour afterward the horse re.
turned to the barn with its fatally
injured driver lying across the seat
with his head resting on the side OF
the phaeton. Employees of the barn
seeing the horse standing in front
went to the rig and found Mr. Black
dying.
Lap Robe Around Head.
A lap robe had been thrown entire
ly about his head and it was saturated
with blood and portions of his brain
were scattered over the seat He wae
hurried to the hospital, but died with
out uttering a word. There seems nc
doubt that he was murdered.
/ Black was not known to have an en-
envy. All evidence points to the con
clusion that he was shot while out Of
the phaeton and his body placed IL
the rig and then covered with the
robe. The lines were wrapped around
the whip socket in the usual way a.
when a horse is left standing. Hit
clothes gave no evidence Of struggle
and none of his valuahles were miss
ing. He was known as a sober man
He had been a resident of Muncie FOL
twelve years and was active in public
life. He owned considerable prop
erty. Besides the widow he is sur
