tion below the previous average ex-
cept in Toledo, Ohio; Rochester,

ing cities the number of deaths is
from l to s per 1000 below aver

WAS LEAD WOMAN
MURDER VICTIM?
AUTHORITIES BELIEVE WOMAN
WHOSE REMAINS FOUND IN
FURNACE WAS KILLED.

Deadwood, Dec. IA coroner's
jury which investigated the death of
Mrs. John Nemi, an aged Lead wo-
man, whose partially burned remains
were found in the firebox of the fur
mace in her home, has returned a
verdict to the effect that she met
death by violent means at the hands
of party or parties unknown.
At first 1t was thought she had
committed suicide while temporarily
deranged by projecting herself into
the firebox upon the hot Goals.
From the first States Attorney
Parker and other officials and police
officers have secuted the theory Of
suicide, apparently feeling confident
that she was the victim of a foul
crime.
The verdict of the coroner's jury
sustains those whose theory is that
Mrs. Nemi was murdered and her
body placed in the firebox of the
furnace in the belief that it would be
entirely consumed and all traces of
the crime thus removed,
When Mrs. Searle. married
daughter. discovered the body of her
mother in the furnace her lower
limbs and body to the hips had been
burned to a crisp and the upper part
of the body charred so there was
little resemblance to a human being.
If Mrs. Nemi was murdered and
her body cast into the furnace the
motive which prompted the crime is
a matter of keen speculation.
She had no enemies and there
was no one who wished her out of
the way, so about the only theory is
that she was killed by some degener-
ate of criminal instincts whose only
thought was to slay some person in
the manner in which Mrs. Nemi met
her death.
Those who scout the suicide the
ory say it would have been physically
impossible for Mrs. Nemi, even IL in
sane, to have projected herself into
the firebox OF the furnace feet first
upon the hot Goals and then carefully
close the door upon herself. The
daughter who found the body testi-
fled that the door was closed when
she went to the furnace and opened
Ii and discovered the remains of her
mother inside.

covered the Cott family living west
Of the city.

mother on the telephone he used the
name of Keil and It was only after

ed that to make his mother under

Mr.. Cott hurried to Sioux Falls in
his automobile and met his step-son
in Postmaster Donahue's office.
