Peeping Tom Not Likely to Disturb
SkOWhpgan HOuSehOlders
More

From time to time, people on both
sides of the river, ranging from the
brickyard locality to North avenue
have been annoyed by man, peer
Ing in their windows after dark. The
matter was reported 10 Sheriff Mooers
and in company with Deputy Sheriff
Thibodeau, he made quiet search for
the culprit for several days, which
resulted in the apprehension of Wal
ter O'Brien. The man came here
some years ago with q carnival show
and has spent most of his time in
Skowhegan, although last winter he
was employed in hauling wood from
Mercer to Norridgewock. When
question, he admitted being at two
of the places concerned but claimed
that his business was entirely of an
innocent nature. The officers deem
ed it advisable however for the man
to leave the state or go to jail and
he chose the former and departed
Saturday morning. 1t is understood
that O'Brien claims no friends or
relatives In this state and that he did
not diyulge the place from whence
he came.

CHEMICAL TESTS
OF BODY PARTS
May Never Determine
Exact Cause of De-
> mise Is Opinion of
Doctor

An injury about the head or
neck, from which blood flowed but
which could not in itself account
for her death, was suffered by
Julia TwarJowslii Fl year old
south side girl, shortly before her
semi-nude body was buried under
a mound of leaves in lonely spot
on the Racine Milwaukee county
line.
This much seemed definitely es-
tablished Tuesday night as Mil
waukee detectives continued their
more or less desultory probe OF
the perplexing murder mystery dis
closed when the body Of the girl,
who had been missing since Sept.
"a, was found by hunters on Sun
day.
Dr.. e. l.. Tharingcr, coroners
physician, announced stains on a
piece OF the victims garment, cut
away from the neck were caused
by human blood.
This tended to corroborate indi-
cations of a death struggle pre-.
viously disclosed in the finding Of
the victims torn and blood stain
ed hat half mile from where the
body lay, and by similar stains on
crumpled newspapers picked up
near the field grave.
Another discovery regarded as
having a possibly important bear
ing on the mystery was made by
Dr. Tharinger, This was that the
victim at the time of her death
was not in a delicate condition.
Exhaustive chemical tests of
parts of the body and particul-
arly certain vital organs suffi-
GENTLY preserved ito permit CT
such examination, are being con-
due ed, the physician said, and
the results will be known within
a few days. But, while these may
narrow the scope of the inquiry,
it is DR.. Tharinger's opinion the
exact cause of death never will
be definitely determined.
