The body was first discovered by
Newton Hess, who was walking o,the
city. Hess noticed blood on ths
tracks and followed the trail into the
bushes nearby. He walked for a dis.
tarcc Of 90 yards. and discovered that
tie body had been covered with brush
and weeds. The blood was fresh,
which Indicated that the man had been
Killed within the past 10 hours. The
distance that the man was dragged
and the strength that II must hags
taken TO carry him that far through
very rough territory caused the police
10 think that more than one Is guilty
OF The mans death.
Hess called the police, and Chief
Harr, Sheriff Conway and Deputy
Tom Buckley. Justice of the Peace
Fleming, Coroner Lloyd and Constable
Satterfield went TO the scene. After
looking the body overltheS officers pro.
nounced the death due to murder,
caused by wounds inflicted with
knife or stilleto.
The mans body was brought to the
undertaking establishment OF r. Z
Cunningham on Jefferson street. Au
autopsy will be held this afternoon.
The letters on the elman's body had
the name and his, address, which was
16o Merchant street. The officers
called at the house and learned that
Sehepis went out after supper last
night at 1880 o'clock. When asked
where Schepis was to have gone To-
spend the evening Mrs. Rocco Scol
erla, the land.lady at the house, said
she was unable to say. She says,
however, that the other men thai
board at the house all left together
last night at s O'Clock. but she did not
know where they had gone.
The police searched the rooms oil
the house where the man boarded and
found a number of articles Of wearing
apparel which were brought to the Of
fee Of the prosecuting attorney.
Among these were two pairs of trous-
ers that showed evidence Of having
been worn In weeds and around wa.
ter. The place where the man was
killed Is such a place.

ing rounded up. this afternoon by the
officers. These include four men who
are said to work at the eiWiliets Clay
Products Company and Mrs. Marie
Dlperto, a woman who also had
room at the house. The Officers think
that Mrs. Diperto knows more OF the

they paid a visit. to the house thii
morning. Mrs. Rocco sScolerio will
also be held by the authorities until
thorough investigation Is made.
The dead man Is said to have
brother in Uniontown, Pa. He Is be.
ing communicated with and II is pos.
sibie that he can throw more light on
