COrOner's Jury Verdict on the
Death of Calvin Hayes.
Blows Inflicted on Head by a
Blunt Instrument.
LOOKING FOR A TALL man
Wore a Dark OvercOat and a
Big Skating Cap.
Mrs. Patsy Mulligan Only Per-
son Who Saw Him.

Calvin Hayes, the 76-year old To-
pekan found mortally injured in a
stairway in North Topeka Friday eve
ming, was murdered.
That is the verdict of the coroners
jury sitting in the case at the inquest
held today in the court of Topeka.
The verdict goes no farther than that.
The jury found that the aged L1an
came to his death from blows on the
head inflicted by some blunt instru-
ment in the hands of an unknown
person.
The murder, 's it was murder, was
committed between 500 and $50
o'clock Friday evening and some
where on Kansas avenue between
distance of one block, and in daylight
Mrs. Patsy Mulligan, in whose
rooming house at 500 North Kansas
avenue Hayes lived, testified that at
| 80 o'clock she left her room and
started down stairs to purchase some
groceries. She testified that when she
reached the head of the stairs some
strange man was helping -tr. Hayes
| in at the door at the foot of the stairs.
| The person most sought after ry
officers working on the case is the
stranger who helped Hayes in at the
door. Mrs. Mulligan could not give
a complete description of him and
/ could not say whether he was white
He was tall and wore a long, dark
coIored overcoat,'' she said. He had
the collar turned up about his cheeks
and he wore a skating cap pulled

About all 1 could see of his face was
his nose and mouth. He did not

I The Mysterious Stranger.
"If the stranger who helped Mr..
Hayes into the hall is on the square, -
said Robert Carver, assistant county
attorney, Il fail to see why he has not
made himself known. He could shed
considerable light on this case. Even
tho he may have had nothing to do
with the mans injuries he may know
how he was injured. We will continue
the search for him"
DIR. c. NJ. Hensley was placed on the
stand to testify as to HayeS'S injuries.
He described them in detail to the
| jury. There was ore fracture at the
base of the brain running almost from
shaped fracture just over the forehead,
radiations of which ran for several
inches. There was also a depression

line.
Either of the fractures would have

skeptical about the two fractures hav-
ing been caused by a fall.
DR.. Narcotic, coroner, stated that
both fractures could not have been
caused by one blow. He also stated
that no man could have walked with
such fractures.
