improvised slungshot lying near the body
left little doubt that he was murdered.
A path worn through the tall grass
from the street to the thicket where the
victim lay indicated that some one mad
made frequent visits to the spot since
the man was killed a-month or more
ago.
Although the elements had left little
but a skeleton, the coroner described the
victim as feet inches tall. weight

Close by the body the police picked
up a woman's tan kid glove. new and
unsoiled. and a slungshot made from the
silk lining torn from q coat sleeve and
