OUR MURDER MYSTERY.

The discovery OF the dead body of
n man in an obscure hiding place In
South wilmington. unidentified and
Offering no clue to the perpetrators of
an evident crime or the motives that
inspired it. places Wilmington in line
with several other communities that
recently have enjoyed unenviable no
toriety from sensational place in the
calendar OF crime. IL is hoped, how
ever. the mystery will soon he re-
vealed: that there will be no sordid
or nauseating elements in connection
with II, and that those guilty will be
promptly tried and punished.
Although many persons have given
Ntle thought to this matter. Il is a
fact that our city has been the scene
Of an unusual number Of murders that
have remained mysteries to this day.
Fifty years ago. the dead bodies Of
three men were found within the
period OF a year along the railroad
tracks. between Market and French
streets, each with bullet hole in the
head and evidepces OF robbery as the
motive OF the crime. But in not one
of these three instances was the muir
derer discovered
In August. 1873. on tho Saturday
night after a Democratic mayoralty
nomination election. the body Of Pat
rick McCann was found In a little alley
at the foot Of Washington street. dead
as the evident result ot a drunken
brawl. But searching investigation
among all the attendants of festive
party he was known 20 have attended
failed TO throw definite suspicion upon
any one. and the crime is still mys-
terry.
The murder OF Policeman Schultz
a quarter OF a century ago. on a stree;
in the then sparseiy settled commu-
nifty north Of the Brandywine bridge
also has remained unsolved. And ~
has the murder Of William Moore
who several years ago was found dead
on West Third street. with a small
but fatal knife wound in his heart.
So It is not always true that "mur.
der will out" But II is hoped the pres
ent case will not be added TO our un.
usual list Of mysterious murders.
