Tecumseh, Neb.--An old well at the
former home Of Il. Il. Hesse, who was
bridge foreman for the Burlington
railroad, was opened by direction Of
Sheriff Roberts CT Johnson county and
two bodies, believed to be those of
Hesses wife and daughter, were ex-
humed.
Mrs Hesse and the seventeen.year-
old girl, Juanita McMasters, who was
her stepdaughter, disappeared In July,
1910, and Hesse said they had gone
to Lincoln on visit. Several days
later his house burned and he filled
the well with earth Soon afterward
Hesse disappeared, Suspicion aroused
by Hesse's disappearance smoldered
until an anonymous letter was re-
ceived by tho sheriff limiting at double
murder. A drill used at the well turned
up human flesh and shreds OF clothes
and then the well was opened with
shovels.
Hesse was about fifty years old. II
IS known that he frequently quarreled
with his wife and daughter, He Is
believed to have gone to the Pacific
coast,
James Clutter, whom Hesse hired to
haul dirt to FIJI the well after the FIRE,
had asserted repeatedly that he be-
lleved the women were murdered. but
his opinion was ignored until recently.
He was one Of the men to operate the
drill that located the bodies,
When the well was opened the sher'
