been seen at that place since Tuesday
morning.
Early Sunday morning a careful in
vestigation of the roadhOuse in which
the Logan woman met her death was
made by Detective Sergeant Barnhart'
Detective Diver and Coroner Swantz.
ON a table in the kitchen, in the rear
of the first floor the fatal knife was
found, still covered with the life blood
of the dead woman.
1t was a wicked looking butcher
knife. used in the kitchen to prepare
the meals foi the Logan woman and
her friends. The blade was exceeding
ly sharp, and quite capable of lnfiict-
ing the two large gashes which
brought death to the keeper Of the
roadhouse. ON the siX-inch blade
were several drops of blood, which
were carefully dissolved off by Cor
oner Swantz, and micrOscopically eX-
amined. DIR. Swantz stated after his
examination that the blood was from
the veins of human being.
Find Eingcrprints.
on the handle were several finger
prints, which viii be examined today
by the South Bend police department
fngerprint experts. BY this means, it
is hoped that the identity of the muir
derer of the unfortunate woman can
be discovered. and his arrest accom-
phshed.
The fact that the knife was found
downstairs. 40 feet from the spot
where the woman was discovered ly-
ing in a pool of her own blood Satur-
day afternoon, precludes any idea that
she met death at her own hands, and
makes prem editated murder the only
plausible explanation of her death.
According To DIR. Swantz. it would
have been a physical impossibflIty for
the woman to have inflicted the cuts
with the knife while downstairs and
then travel the distance to her bed
room The fact that nothing was
found in the death room with which
the woman could have killed herself
bears out the murder theory
Another Clue.
Another fact substantiating the
murder theory was furnished by a
friend of the dead woman, who knew
something Of her habits and charac-
teristics. The love of the Logan wom-
an for her nine white poodle dogs,
who were in the house at the time
the murder was committed led her TO
some strange ideas about them. one
of the peculiar things about the treat
ment of her pets was that on no Occa-
sion did she ever allow all OF the dogs
to run together. Four of the poodles.
who seemed 10 be her particula- pets,
we're always kept separate from the
other five.
Saturday afternoon. when the body
was discovered. all Of the dogs were
running at large downstairs IL is
probable that when the murderer went
into the kitchen TO place the knife on
the kitchen table, ne left the door be-
tween the kitchen and sitting room
open. This door was never left open

knew of her strange idea about keep
