REMAINS UNSOLvED

GARY. Ind, Sept. ARRESTS in the
murder case of Rev. Edmund Al. H.
Kayser were expected today. 1t was
thought that two persons-a man and

that three other suspects would be
taken in Chicago. Until arrests are
made, the case will continue to re-
main a mystery. All suggestions for
a motive for the crime will remain
suggestions and guesses, and nothing
more. Unless the police are more
careful in their information that usual
ly in murder cases, they have no evil
dence other than theories and sur
misses.
