MURDER MYSTERY
STILL UNSOlVED

Cleveland, o.. Nov. 9.-The myster,
surrounding the murder of DIR. Harr,
Lorenzo Chaplin, physician, author ant
traveller. by an unidentified assailant II
J a room in a downtown hotel last nigh
remained unsolved today, although or
ders were issued from police headquar
! ters for the arrest of a man who Is
known to have been in Cleveland.
| The skull was fractured by blow
on the back Of the head and. according
to Coroner Byrne, the fact that tht
skin was not cut, suggests that he was
struck from behind with a heavy weap
on, probably a piece Of pipe or paper
weight wrapped in handkerchief.
Mrs. Chaplin, who was the widow OF
Valentine Fries, wealthy Sandusky boat
owner and lumberman, before she mar
ried "the blind doctor" as the mur
dered victim was known, told the police
that her husband went TO the hotel
yesterday afternoon to meet man who
recently came from Chicago. with
whom he had had business dealings.
Shreds of paper found on the floor
of the room gave the police clues be
the crime.
Some If the scraps, rieced together
/ were found to relate TO an express
package shipped to Cleveland by man
and which the police believe was de
| livered to DR.. Chaplin on payment OF
800. Investigation showed that DIR
Chaplin during the week had withdrawn
500 from a bank on the pieced-to
gether scraps of paper the police dis
covered the name of the man Tor whom
search was instituted.
Dr. Chaplin, known to a wide circle
of friends as the blind doctor" was
