YOUNG MAN IS
ARRESTED FOR
MURDER SISTER

Quincy, H., Oct. Ray Plan
schmidt was arrested today for mur
der in connection with the Plan
schmidt quadruple murder case.
The formal charge is that of the
murder of Blanche Pfanschmidt, sis.
ter of the accused young man. Young
Pfanschmidt is 23 years old.
The arrest of young Pfanschmidt
was the direct result of the finding
today of blood-stained Khaki suit
near a railroad construction camp
where he was employed. The suit
found under an outbuilding was sim
liar to one generally worn by the
young man. Last Monday, blood
hounds followed Pfanschmidt's buggy
from the scene of the murder to the
construction camp.
On the morning of Sunday, Septem-
Der 20, the bodies of Charles A. Pfan-
schmidt, Mrs. Mathilda Pfanschmidt,
their daughter Blanche and Emma
Kaempen were found in the ruins of
the burned Pfanschmidt home, south
east of Quincy. The conditions of
the bodies proved conclusively that
the four persons had been murdered.
Ray Pfanschmidt was the only sur
viving member of the family. The
Pfanschmidts were well insured and
the estate is estimated at $4,000.
