MURDER MYSTERY
Still UNS0LVED
No Clue Found to Identity
of Body Found in the
Hay Stack.
A
SUNDAY NIGHT
Ruediger Thinks Man Had
Been Dead 48 Hours
Before Found.

Unless some clue is discovered by
tonight 10 the identity Of the man
whose body was found Wednesday
morning i'll a hay stack near Ninth
avenue and Oak street. the body will
be inferred without further delay.
The only clue which might possibly
lead to the discovery of his murder
ers which. has been found as yet is tho
44-caliber bullet. which vas found in
the clothes of the dead man.
1t is feared by the police. however.
that this will be of little assistance in
locating the murderer.
Hear Shots.
The statements of Mrs. Albert
Strutz and Charles LePage, who live
near the place. where the body was
found. that they heard pistol shots
late Sunday night coincide. with the
opinion expressed at the inquest by
DR.. Gustav Ruediger of the state uni
versity. who performed the autopsy
on the body.
DIR. Ruediger stated that he did not
think the man had been dead much
longer than forty-eight hours, at the
time of the finding Of the body.
The testimony at the coroner's in
quest Wednesday of the men who
found the body, however. indicated
that the shooting could not have &C.
CURED while the man was lying in
the hay stack.
Arm Doubled When Shot.
When the body was found, the left
arm was lying straight by its side.
The course taken by the bullet. how
ever. shows that al the time Of the
! shooting the left arm must have been
doubled across the mans chest.
The verdict Of the coroner's jury
was that the mar had come to his
death by violence at the hands OF
persons unknown.
The nan had apparently had hi.
hair cut recently and it has been sug.
gested hat one Of the BARRIERS of the
city might recognize him as a recen,
