More Developments
In Murder Mystery

Further developments in the
mysterious shooting OF Vikter KOS
els today, have led county officers
to tSink that the motive for the
murder might have been robbery.
1t is known that KocsIs had about
5000 on Sunday. October 20, when
he visited his brOthcr-lu-law at has
home ut Shadyside, o., near Bell
aire. The brother-in-law, Steve
MillItich, and his wife. the sister

Prosecuting Attorney Frank K.
Amos this morning and gave the
Information that has set at naught
other theories. 1t was also learn
ed from the sister OF the murder
ed man, that ne had been married
since March "a, 1917 to the wo-
man who is now in the insane asy-
lum at Weston. This would seem
10 do away with the theory that
Kocsis was shot and killed out OF
revenge for having taken the wo-
man away from her home in Gin
tou. III. IT was also learned that
The woman's first husband has
been dead for about ten years.
According to the story told by
the brother-in-law of kocsIs, he
was in ShadysIde for week end
visit with them few days before
the murder. At that time he dis
played a pocketbook with several
haadrcG dollars in 1t and two pos
tal savings deposit, slips.
on the night of the murder Con-
stable Skinner and Deputy Sheriff
Charles Bartholow searched 2
trunk In the home OF Kocsls for D
possible clew to the cause of the
murder, but found no papers OF any
value in the trunk. Saturday
night after the arrival Of the sis
ter end brother-in-law OF hocsis
tSe trunk was again opened and
two postal savings certificates and
an envelope that had contained
several hundred dollars in bills
when Kocsis was in Shadyside
were found.
This would seem to indicate that
the murder might have been com
mltted by someone who had accesa
to the house and might have secur-
ed the keys to the trunk.
1t Is said, that after the shooting
a man was seen running into the
house OF Kocsls but this has not
been verified.
The funeral of-the murdered
man was held at Grant Town Sun
day and interment was made in
Woodlawn cemetery.

Of VIII Rogers to a well-known
