Adams Police Arrest Railroader
Who Bargained With Victims
for Auto
CHICAGO SALESMAN FOUND
in RIVER NEAR CHICAGO
Harry Church, the Suspect, Is
Former Resident Of Adams and
Was on a Visit There
(From Saturdays Daily.)

Fl. w Church, 20 years old, was
arrested as he drove his brand new
Packard automobile into Adams late
Friday afternoon, and was taken back
to Chicago on Saturday TO tell what
he knows about the fieRdish Staying
of Bernard ]. Daugherty, automobile
salesman and former Harvard athlete
and the uncanny disappearance Of
Carl Ausmus another salesman.
The murder car is believed to have
passed through Baraboo yesterday af,
ternoon about four o'clock. Baraboe
citizens noticed a Packard auto well
spIashed with mud as it passed
through the city and several took
special notice OF it,.
Handcuffed, strangled with rope
and his throat cut, the body of Daugh-
erty was found in the Desplaines riv-
Friday morning. The body lay in only
three inches of water and appeared
as though it had been thrown from an
automobile bridge nearby. The police
fear that Ausmus may have met a
similar fate, and have set to work drag
ging the river in the belief that his
body may be found farther down the
stream.
On Visit to Father

Of Police Charles Paulsen, at Adams
Church, a former resident of Adams
was accompanied by his mother, Mrs.
Edward Church. He said that he had
driven there from Chicago for the
purpose of visiting his father, who re-

Church's connection with the hide
Gus crime centers in the fact that
Daughtery and Ausmus left the Pack
ard Automobile agency in Chicago to
go to a bank with Church to complete
deal in which Church drove to
Adams and then disappeared.
Under questioning at Adams, Church
steadfastly denied any knowledge OF
the murder or anything concerning
the disappearance of Ausmus. To all
questions asked by Chief Paulsen, he
answered with the same sterotyped
reply, 81 don't know anything about
it."
Find Blood Soaked Hats
Church was not informed that a
search OF, the basement at the apart
ment where he lived in Chicago, had
revealed, according to the Chicago
police, blood soaked quilt, an axe,
baseball bat stained with blood, and
two blood soaked hats. Chief Paul
sen said that he did not endeavor to
examine Church minutely, leaving it
to the Chicago police to conduct a
thorough grilling.
The Packard auto passed through
Baraboo again this morning enroute
for Chicago. The suspect was ac-
