NAB TRAMP IN
BOY Staying
Companions of Ar
thur Schumacher
Point Out Man Who
Chased Them

Milwaukee-Earnes and posi-
tive in their conviction, two COM
panions of the murdered Arthur
Buddy Schumacher yesterday
noon pointed out Edward Vree-
land, prisoner at the house of cor
rection and expressed the belief
that he is the man who chased
them and Buddy from the Milwau-
kee road freight train on which
they were riding to the Menom-
once river swimming hole on July
"a.
The sheriff's office and police re-
garded it as the most startling
development in the investigation
of the Schumacher case.
While the house of correction
prisoner was being confronted by
the three boys, funeral services
were being conducted at Wauwa-
tosa.
The body of the missing boy,
bearing evidence of brutal at
tack. was found in the Koepfler
woods, mile from his home, last
Sunday.
The discovery of the body led
to the abandoning Of all theories
that he may have been kidnapped
or that he was carried away on
the freight train on which he and
his companions had hitched a ride.
Certain that he had been the
victim of degenerate and know
ing where the murder had taken
place, sheric deputies and police
went over intensively all phases
of the inquiry.
Vreeland was arrested as vag-
abond two days after the Schu
macher boy disappeared.
Ignorant of Attack"
He had lived in the Koepfler
woods, subsisting on herbs, fruits
and berries.
He was questioned previously by
Wauwatosa POLICE in connection
with the disappearance of the boy
and protested total ignorance. In
District court in Milwaukee he
was tried on vagrancy charge
and sentenced to sixty days in the
house of correction.

Everett Bump, A n
EmplOye, Loses 500
Of Own Money

Postal authorities today were on
their way to BaraboO to investigate
the theft of about $500 in stamps
and cash from a vault in the local
Post office The vault was opened
with the aid of an acetylene torch.
A hole large enough for man to
crawl through was bored in the out
er door and the second door was
then blown open, it is believed.
The perpetrators of the deed left
behind two empty tanks in which
was carried the gas for the torch.
The largest loss in the robbery
consists in stamps according to
Postmaster f. e. Shuts, although
Everett Bump, an employee, lost
500 in money which lie had left in
the vault for safe keeping. The
thieves took everything but stamp
ed envelopes, these were left scat
tered over the floor near the vault.
Entrance to the post office was
gained through the doors in the
basement which were forced open.
The intruders operated without
turning off two lights which are
kept burning all night, according
to Mr. Shuts.
Paul Herfort, an employee of the
department here, was the first one
to discover the robbery when he
came to work at five o'clock this
mornin. The place had evidently
been entered between midnight and
the time Mr.. Herfort arrived in the
morning.
Overlook Other Vault
The other vault in an adjoining
room of the post office was evi.

or, as the postmaster believed, they
