MOnrOe's Relatives Also Met
Violent Deaths-Authori-
ties Still Baffled.
(By a Sam Corresnondentl

DOWAGIAC, Mich, oct. 26.-In-
Vestigation by Cass county author
tiles or the triple murder at the
nome Of Will Monroe five weeks
ago has disclosed a series of shock
ing and tragic episodes in connection
with deaths in the Monroe family
In the past decade. The father Of
the murder victim was literally cut
TO pieces in saw mill in the north
ern peninsula some years ago when
ne accidentally fell across the huge
blades of a giant saw. Monroe's
aged mother passed her final days
in an insane asylum and a brother
of the Dowagiac murder victim COM
mitted suicide by shooting himself
through the head.
Results of exhaustive investigation
Of the family history of Monroe has
brought to light these sad facts in
connection with the lives of the Mon
roe family. County authorities lean
TO the thought that a tragic hoo
doc" Of some sort, hangs like a
cloud over the life and destiny of the
unfortunate FAMILY, from one gener.
alton to the next. They point to the
prospects that face little Ardith
member of the family. who suffered
injuries from the club of a maniac,
to substantiate their conjectures.
Answer Questions.
Herbert Smith, and his wife Sarah
next door neighbors of the Monroe S
sat in their humble home in the west
section Of this city and answered
questions of investigating officials
Wednesday afternoon. but were un-
able TO offer a suggestion that would
give a clue to authorities at work
on the mystery.
a Dowagiac secondhand furniture
dealer, visited the Monroe home
stead Wednesday afternoon presum-
ably TO secure articles Of furniture
in behalf of the administrator of
the estate, who will dispose of the
property in the interests Of his ward,
little Ardith Monroe.
Sheriff S. P. Wyman, at CassopoHs
Wednesday night, had no clue TO
offer that would help solve the muir
der mystery.
Two detectives of the state police
force from Lansing. have been CO.
operating with county officials. Thus
far, the sum total of their accom-
plishments is summed up in a zero.
How long they will remain in Do
wagiac is undetermined.

Investigation of Triple Murder"
Discloses Many Tragic Episodes
In Deaths of Family of Victims

active investigation Of the case.
Powell. who was a deputy sheriff
at DOwagiac at one time, resides in
Kalamazoo. He has talked with
Ardith Monroe on three occasions
recently, and believes the child will
eventually be able to volunteer in
formation that will aid materially
in bringing the perpetrator Of the
triple crime to justice.
Gerald Henderson,, % years, for
merry of Muskegon, and said TO have
confessed TO being a deserter from
the army is held in custody by the
sheriff at Paw Paw, Michigan, as a
suspect. Van Buren, county authori-
ties declare ne was in Dowagiac
about the time of the crime. Police
here give little thought to this angle
Of the case.
Residents Dissatisfied.
Dowa giac residents are disSatis-
fed with the course the investiga-
ton conducted by county officials
has taken during the past FIVE weeks.
They feel much time has been vast
ed following useless lines Of action.
The fact that a former inmate Of a
state sanatorium for the insane at
Kalamazoo, suffering with "demen-
tia precox." was seen at the Kalama-
zoo railroad station at 4:05 a. M,
Sunday, Sept IS, is said TO have
been disregarded by county officials
when brought to their attention as
an angle for investigation.
A train leaving Dowagiac at 3:15
a. M, on which the murdered is be-
lieved to have escaped. reached
Kalamazoo As minutes prior to the
time the "dementia precox" victim
was seen idling about the platform.
This man was among the visitors to
the scene Of the crime a week later
when curiosity seekers came to gaze
and speculate upon the solution OF
the mystery. He is. now in a city
of Western Michigan, but no effort
has been made TO question him.
Arthur Criffield. Is years. shot
from ambush on the Cas- road, a
quarter OF a mile east of Colby mill
on Sunday night, Sept. IS, was about
the streets of Dowagiac Wednesday
following his discharge from the Lee
sanitarium, where he had been

heart was extracted from a point be-
Meath the shoulder blade Criffield

County authorities working on the
theory that the attack had been
committed by the same parties that
committed the Monroe murder, lost
the trail and after releasing three
suspects, held at Cassopolis, report
ed nothing new as the sum total
Of their efforts

Markets and Financial News
STOCKS DULL ON
NEW YORK MARKET
Reports Of Railroad Labor
Boards Hearing Followed
With Interest.

NEW YORK. Oct. 26.-Apart
from speculative issues especially
oils in which recent gains were en-
HANGED. Wednesdays stock market
was dull and inconclusive. The per
centages of the railroad labor hear
ing were followed with unusual in
terest and railway shares, including
several of the more popular invest
ment issues, developed more reac-
tionary tendencies. Firmness Of
money rates probably accounted for
the less aggressive tactics of bull
pools. Call loans opened at per
cent, the weeks highest initial rate.
but relaxed to 1-2 in the last half
Of the session. In private negotia-
tions brokers reported loans of this
class at per cent.
The cheaper oils were most fav-
ored and motors of the same type
also moved forward, although trade
advices respecting this industry
were not especially favorable. Food.
leather, rubber and some Of the in
dependent steels displayed inter-
militant firmness. but U. S. Steel
fluctuated within the narrowest lin
its. making no visible response to
yesterdays quarterly report. Sales
amounted to $500 shares.
Confusion in Trading.
Confusion marked the days trad
ing in foreign exchanges, which was
attended by circumstantial rumors
dealing with proposed revision of
Germany's PREPARATIONS payments.
Sterling was easier, as also were the
French and Belgian rates. Central
European rates reflected latest ad-
verse developments in that section
and ar eastern billfs rallied from
recent heaviness.
Liberty issues closed mostly at
gains and the general domestic list
was steady to firm on lighter deal
ings. Foreign bonds showed no pro-
nounced trend, except Mexican gov
eminent As, which again were af-
fected by latest phases OF that coun-
try's external obligations. Total
sales (par value) S11,S75.000.
