ments were returned in the Clarence

surrounding that case is as iimpene
trable as ever. Prosecuting Attorney
Noll placed the entire matter in the
bands OF the grand jury. but that

strong enough to hold any one for
trial. In view Of this, Mrs. Katie

ner home; John W. Rice, the Win.
chester aven1e meat dealer, and
Lewis Tettenhouse. who drove the
Rice wagon the afternoon Mr.. Cord
ner died and who accompanied Rice

charges under which they had been
held. The authorities say the matter
is not closed but that, for the time
being, there can be no further pro-
ceedings. Further investigation L.
expected, hut the officers are plainly
at sea regarding the mystery.
