WAS MURDERED
coRoNER's VERDICT SAYS CRIME
WAS COMMITTED BY Uk-
KNOWN PERSON.

Fairfield; May 16.-The coroner's in
quest which was continued for q
couple Of days over the remains Of the

that some one was guilty Of murder.
The jury was composed of William l..
Long, w. r. Baker and W:D. Garmoe
and the verdict was as follows:
Eve do find that the said deceased
came to his death by having his skull
crushed; and we do further find that
he came to his death feloniously, and
that crime has been committed on
the deceased and that the person or
persons wtoc ommitted the crime are
unknown to u.s. ~
Dr.. J. v. Bean and DR.. Gaumer, who
performed an autopsy testified that the
child had been born alive but that
death would have, resulted from the
crushing Of the skull.
It Is now thought that the parties
who left the body in the water! OF the
creek drove to the creek in an auto
mobile and probably came q number
of miles to cover their murderous
deed. The remains Of the child were
inferred Wednesday afternoon IN
Evergreen cemetery.

show up to accompany the increment
to Jefferson Barracks at st. Louis, Sec
rotary A. p. Meyer Of the exemption
board announced TODAY.
Mr.. Meyer was confident that Perry
would appear in time, although the
hoard had been unable to locate him
since he left here. Whether he did not
know he was listed to go, or whether he
would rather be- classed as a deserter
in order to keep the child, is the ques-
ton now. At least the local board Is
seeking him as q deserter, and has
hopes Of finding the delinquent. His
action is all the more surprising be-
cause Of the fact that while In this city
he had often expressed a hope that his
number might soon be called SO that
he could get into the service.
