MURDER MYSTERY
Says Skeleton Dug Up at 18th and
u Streets Il 80 Years
Old.

The great skeleton mystery has
been unraveled and another unsolved
murder mystery" wiped on the
police records
Finding Of a human skeleton by
workmen yesterday at Seventeenth
and U streets, excavating for the
foundation Of building. started
rumors of a possible murder in that
vicinity. The bones were carefully
wrapped and taken to the eighth pre-
cinct, where they lay-the evidence
in what was believed for a time to
be the gruesome aftermath OF a
murder.
But Coroner hewitt viewed the
SIX eleton today and the sole OF a shoe
found near 1t and announced that
death had occurred at least a half
century ago, thus disposing OF the
recent murder theory.
The coroners decision dovetailed
with police reports that just after
the Civil War there was a hospital
in the vicinity of Seventeenth and
U streets and that probably those
who died IN the hospital were buried
nearby. The sole of the shoe. ac-
cording to DR.. hewitt. had no con-
nection with the skeleton. Oddie
Washington, a colored workman OF
Alexandria,, Va, found the bones
while digging about two and one
half feet below the surface.
