PIPER MURDERED?
body Found 10 Miles from New Bruins.
wick, N. j.

The body Of John V. Piper State col
lege of agriculture. '16. who disappeared
from his home in New Brunswick, n. j..
on the night Of February II. was found
Saturday in an open field near Spotswood.
10 miles from New Brunswick. The watch
was upon the body, and there was a pistol
wound in the heart. The condition of the
body was such as to indicate that death
had come about the time when Piper van
ished. A wife and two small children
survive.
Piper was Phi Beta Kappa man, and
assisted Prof. G.. p. Burns in the depart
ment of botany during several summers
while studying at the college. He came
here from Weathersf1eld. after being pre-
pared at the Springfield high school, He
did not leave this city until about Septem-
Der l last. He then became research as
sistant in the botanical department of the
New Jersey Agricultural College Expert
ment Station In New Brunswick, where
Prof. John p. Helyar, former instructor in
botany here. was employed as seed an
alyst, as he Is now. He was "A years old
on June IA. 1916.
Piper's relatives, notably certain ones
on his wife's side of the name of Aldrich,
residing in Troy, n. Y. were not content
with the assertion Of the New Brunswick
police that Piper had wandered Off while
out of his mind from overstudy. and en-
ployed private detectives, whose investi-
cation struck trail that led, it is said.
to one of the houses where Piper worked
as a furnace tender. There the trail
stopped, because, it is alleged, the police
forbade the searching of the house. A re-
porter for the World in New York de-
clared in one or two display stories that
Piper had been murdered, as the private
detectives asserted.
Professor Helyar. who helped in the
search for Piper. was warned by a neigh
Dor privately to carry a pistol. He paid
a visit of two or three weeks to relatives
and friends here and elsewhere soon after
the disappearance.
Piper wrote a letter to Prof. f. r. jerks
Of the college on February II in which he
thanked him for the favor (of a recon-
mendation) as to efficiency. etc. The let
ter was written in a way which indicated,
if such short letter could, that Piper
was entirely in his right mind. 1t is on
file at the college
1t has been impossible, however. to es-
tablish motive for the murder, IL it was
murder.
