Down In Cleveland
Hotel.

Cleveland, Nov. s-Dr. Harry Lo-
renxo Chaplin. physician, author and
Worldwide traveller, was slain late
yesterday by an unidentified assailant
in a room at downtown hotel. His
skull had been fractured by a blow
On the back OF the head.
rs Coroner Byrne declared DR.. Chaplin
h&d been murdered. 1.-THE, fact that
the skin was not out suggests said
to Coroner, that he was struck from
k1hind with heavy weapon, probably
~ piece Of pipe or a paper weight
wrapped In ashandkerchief, and that
4 great force must have been used.
General orders were issued early
today by the police for the arrest OF
~ unnamed man known to have been
IN the city yesterday afternoon.
Mrs. Chaplin, who was the widow of
Valentine Fries. wealthy Sandusky

% the hotel yesterday afternoon to
meet man who recently came from
Chicago with whom he had had bust

<oA nag8est q possible motive for the
crime. Some Of the scraps, piecsd
tox>ther. were found to relate to an
express package shipped to Cleveland
by = man in Chicago, and which, the
police believe; was to be delivered
TO Or. Chaplin on payment Of 500.
Police investigatton developed that
n Dr. Chaplin within the week had
withdrawn 900 from q bank. On
the pieced together scraps of paper
the police deciphered the name of a
