ing completed daring robbery,
when Fred Bromley and his father

FIND YOUNG MANS
BODY IN FIELD
At WOODSTOCK
Believed to Be That of r. j..
TOlboy of Lima 0.
HAD BEEN LEAD 4 WEEKS
Open Money Bet Leads 10 Suspicion
OF Murder and Rob-
berry

Woodstock, Sept 22.--The body OF
man believed to be Frank James
rolboy Of Lima, O., was found this af
tcrnoon in 4 cornfied on the farm OF
Charles *. Thompson about mile
from this village. The man had evil
dcntly been dead four weeks and the
body was badly decomposed.
/, was learned here tonight that a
man answering the description OF the
body found, as regards the clothing,
weight and height, came here f'om
Ohio with j. w. Lutz about three
months ago and that he worked for
Mr. Lutz On the lat,cr's farm in East
Barnard.
Letters were found on the body and
one contained on invitation to attend
the reunion of the class of 1912 of a
technical school at Lima, O.
Tie body was dressed in faded
suit OF blue serge and he feet were
encased in a nearly new pai' Of shoes.
A money belt about the waist was
partly open. 1t contained no money.
In the pockets of the coat were sew
oral railroad folders and book Of
poems.
The body is that Of a man about %
years old and is about five feet 10
inches in hegh,.
Dr. Stone Of the state laboratory
was notified by Health Officer W. W.
kidder. The state official will arrive
in town tomorrow to hold an autopsy.
There were apparently no marks of
violence on the body and the clothing
was intact. Though there are no in
dications OF foul play so far as the To-
cal authorities are able to discover
considerable speculation exists as to
how the man came to his death.
Tolboy told several people, a mum
Der OF weeks ago, that he had finish
ed work for Mo. Lutz, received his
pay, and was going to Canada.
The authorities here are unable TO
account for the body being found in
the coTnfeld of Mr.. Thompson as it
is in somewhat isolated spot on the
Pomfret road.
So far as known Tolboy was of
good habits aud did not associate with
bad companions. AS he was known
to have sufficient money to take him
20 Canada when lie left the employ of
Mr.. Lut2 there are many who believe
that possibly he was victim OF foul
play.
From the letters found in the cloth
ing and the description given of Tol.
boy there can be little reason 10 doubt
that the dead man is the former hired
man OF Mr.. Lutz.
