SEEKING TO IDENTIFY
RAGGED STRANGER"
Death Mystery Deepens as Lives Of
Church Worker and Dead Wife
Are Found Spotless.

CHICAGO, July (by the Associated
Press).-A coroner's inquest was held
today in an effort to identify the
body Of the ragged stranger" who,
Carl Wanderer was shot by him
when the unknown" shot Mrs. Wan
derer.
Careful examination of his body in
dictate. police say. that he was not an
ordinary tramp.
The withdrawal of $500 from a
bank only two days previous to the
shooting drew new angle to the
case. Wanderer first denied and later
admitted knowing of his wife's with
drawal of funds. He finally said that
she planned to put the money in a
bank nearer to their home.
Coroner Peter Hoffman took per-
sonal charge of the inquest. The cor
oner planned to re-enact the entire
scene of the shooting with Wanderer
representing his part.
Wanderers statement that both
guns used in the shooting were his
property may establish, police say.
that the ragged stranger" was I'M
armed.
Wife Only Sweetheart.
Police investigation of the past life
of Mr.. and Mrs Wanderer has failed
to develop anything that would throw
light on the mystery. Wanderer did
uoL use topdCSo or SlTOnS QIluh, " do
a regular church attendant and never
had but one sweetheart. the girl he
married, according to information
gathered by the police.
Mrs. Wanderer did not care for
dancing or lighter amusements and
had been a member of a church choir
for eight years. withdrawing when
Wanderer went to France 50 that
other boys could not ask permission
to accompany her home from evening
services.
Police expressed bewilderment over
the twin mysteries of the $500 Mrs.
Wanderer withdrew from the bank
and the pistol Wanderer borrowed
from a cousin on that same day. 1t
was this weapon which was supposed
to have been used by the stranger to
kill Mrs. Wanderer, as it was found
by the mans body. When the pistol
was finally traced to Wanderer he
first said he had traded with the
man after the shooting because the
strangers pistol was the best" and
later said the man had wrested it
fom him before the shooting began.
Ten Shots Mt Close Range.
The police also said they could not
understand how. with ten shots fred
at a range of less than three feet.
Wanderer escaped unscathed, while
both his wife and the other man were
killed.
There is a strong possibility that
Wanderer did all the shooting"
Chief of Police Clarity said.
All the relatives of Mrs. Wanderer
remain loyal to Wanderer and insist
that his story be accepted.

Straight Into Old Man
COVOte'S Mouth,

| 8 Old Man Coyote understood perfect
| ly that Jerry Muskrat was trying to
| warn some one when he made that
big splash out there among the Black
Shadows that covered most of the
Smiling Pool. And he guessed right
| away that that some one was Peter
Rabbit. You see. Old Man Coyote is
smart. Yes. sir. he is smart. He
knows all about the habits of his
neigh bors. He makes it his business
to know. If he didn't he would find
| it harder work to get a living than
| he now does.
THAT was a warning for Peter Rab-
bit" thought Old Man Coyote. 81
made mistake. That is just what
/ did. I made a mistake. / shouldn't
| have walked right out to look at
| that little landing of Jerry's. He
saw me and he has tried to warn
Peter. I am certain that Peter isn't
far away. There are two things
can do: can just keep perfectly still
until Peter makes up his mind that
the danger is over, or I can hunt for
his tracks and then follow them. The
chances are that Peter is just above
me. somewhere along the Laughing
Brook. He would naturally go that
way because there are plenty of bush
es along the bank. while there is lit
tie cover for him to hide in on the
bank of the Smiling Pool. I'll just
circle around to a place a little way
up the Laughing Brook and wait for
him"
So. without making a sound. Old
Man Coyote circled around to a point
on the bank Of the Laughing Brook
just a little above where Peter was
hiding, and there he crouched down
to wait. He hadn't rustled a leaf in
getting there. He had put each foot
down as carefully as if he were walk
ing on eggs and didn't want to break
them.
Now, as you know, Peter Rabbit had
heard the warning of Jerry Muskrat
and had understood that Jerry had
seen danger Of some sort. But there
was no way for Peter to know what
that danger was or where 1t was.
Not knowing, he had done the wisest
possible thing-he had continued to
sit perfectly still.
But after while Peter had begun
to get nervous. He hadn't heard a sin
gle suspicious sound. He hadn't seen
thing that suggested danger. But he
had felt danger drawing nearer and
nearer. You know you can feel
things that way. The trouble was
that Peter couldn't tell from which
direction that danger was drawing
nearer and nearer. He grew more
and more uneasy. It didn't seem pos
sible to sit still a second longer. He

This has its origin probably in the
ties between the Japanese in Califor-

The nikado's government in deter

been Influenced by the protests-made
for political effect-from the opposi-

popular sentiment there is against the
measure.
Vague hints from Toxic that there
may be break between the two
countries over the California issue
were not credited either by the state
department or in responsible Japa-

While japanese here believed sat

States should the negotiations fail.
Japan believes friendly relations with
the United States more important than

should there be no agreement between

dents in California could protest the
legislation before the American courts
